Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The first quarter represented a continuation of outstanding execution by the Diodes team, especially considering this quarter is typically down seasonally and the recent COVID-related lockdowns in China, most notably in the Shanghai area. We once again set new records across key financial metrics, including the 6th consecutive quarter of record revenue and gross profit, record gross margin that exceeded 40% for the first time in the Company’s history, and the 5th consecutive quarter of record non-GAAP earnings per share.

“Our strong revenue and margin performance continues to be driven by records achieved in the automotive end market, which reached 13% of revenue, the industrial market, as well as for our Pericom products. Gross margin expanded 720 basis points year-over-year due to a greater mix of higher margin products along with expanded factory utilization and loading. Another key factor to our ongoing success has been our content expansion initiatives and our total solution sales approach, resulting in expanded customer relationships and increasing design win momentum. And when combined with our diligent expense management, we delivered an almost 90% increase in adjusted earnings per share over the prior year period.

“Looking forward, we are well positioned with a global manufacturing footprint, including the proposed addition of the onsemi South Portland, Maine facility, which will greatly increase our internal capacity to support our future growth, especially in the automotive and industrial end markets. Demand for our products remains at high levels across all target end markets and geographies, and we are guiding for our 9th consecutive quarter of revenue growth and our 7th consecutive quarter of record revenue in the second quarter and also anticipating another solid year of strong growth and profitability for Diodes.”
