Commenting on the results, Gary Yu, President of Diodes, stated, “Third quarter revenue exceeded our expectations increasing 9.5% sequentially, while also achieving double-digit POS growth in Asia. As further evidence of the market recovery in Asia, our channel inventory continues to improve as both inventory dollars and inventory days decreased sequentially. Additionally, our automotive market revenue increased 18% sequentially to 19% of product revenue reflecting our ongoing content expansion and design win initiatives, even though both the automotive and industrial markets continue to undergo inventory and demand adjustments.
“For the fourth quarter, we are guiding revenue to be better than typical seasonality. Our gross margin expectation continues to reflect factory underloading related to our wafer service agreements and internal demand. With sufficient capacity available to support future demand improvements, we took the initiative in the third quarter to moderate our CapEx investments to below our target model. This action combined with our past cost reduction actions will help preserve near-term earnings and cash flow until the recovery accelerates, especially in the higher margin automotive and industrial end markets.”
