    NOTE 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

    Summary of Operations

    Diodes Incorporated, together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company,” “we,” or “our” (Nasdaq: DIOD)), a Standard and Poor’s Smallcap 600 and Russell 3000 Index company, is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. The Company serves the industrial, automotive, computing, communications, and consumer markets.

    The Company’s products include diodes; rectifiers; transistors; MOSFETs; Silicon Carbide (“SiC”) diodes and MOSFETs; protection devices; logic; photocoupler; voltage translators; amplifiers and comparators; sensors; and power management devices such as AC-DC converters, DC-DC switching, linear voltage regulators, voltage references, LED drivers, power switches, and voltage supervisors. We also have timing and connectivity solutions including clock ICs, crystal oscillators, PCIe packet switches, multi-protocol switches, interface products, and signal integrity solutions for high-speed signals.

    Diodes’ corporate headquarters and Americas’ sales offices are located in Plano, Texas and Milpitas, California. Design, marketing, and engineering centers are located in Plano and Milpitas, U.S.; Taipei and Taoyuan City, Taiwan; Shanghai and Yangzhou, China; Oldham, England; and Neuhaus, Germany. Diodes’ wafer fabrication facilities are located in South Portland, Maine, U.S., Oldham, England, and Greenock, Scotland; Shanghai and Wuxi, China; and Keelung and Hsinchu, Taiwan.

    Basis of Presentation

    The condensed consolidated financial data at December 31, 2023 are derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 9, 2024 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Form 10-K. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2024.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts. For interim

    -9-


     

    financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates taking into consideration discrete items occurring in a quarter.

    Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. Certain prior year’s balances may have been reclassified to conform to the current condensed consolidated financial statement presentation.

     

    NOTE 2 – Earnings per Share

    Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and stock awards, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we paid no dividends on our Common Stock.

    The table below sets forth the reconciliation between net income and the weighted average shares outstanding used for calculating basic and diluted EPS:

    The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is consistent when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the impact of the geographical mix of pre-tax income and loss across tax jurisdictions relative to the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income on the estimated annual effective income tax rate.

    Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to certain earnings of European and Asian subsidiaries. Any future distributions of foreign earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. income tax but may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes.

    We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2012. We are no longer subject to China income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2013. With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the U.S. (other than China), with limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2017. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest, and penalties, if any, have been provided for in the Company’s reserve for any adjustments that may result from currently pending tax audits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. As of March 31, 2024, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $50.5 million.

    Several jurisdictions in which we operate have either enacted, or announced plans to enact, legislation consistent with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) which introduced a global minimum effective tax rate of 15% applied on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. We have analyzed enacted legislation and do not anticipate that it will have a material impact on our effective tax rate for 2024; however, we continue to monitor future tax legislative changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate in order to evaluate the impacts on the consolidated financial statements.

    It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

    Share Grants. Share grants consist of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Restricted stock awards and RSUs generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period and are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite four-year service period. All new grants are awarded under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.

    PSUs are measured based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the three-year performance period, with adjustments made to the expense to recognize the probable payout percentage.

    As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to share grants was approximately $61.6 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.

    Stock Modification. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 we modified previously granted stock awards for two corporate officers who retired. The result of the modifications resulted in the acceleration of the vesting of 54,525 stock awards for the corporate officers. The incremental expense recorded for this modification was approximately $2.1 million, which was expensed in selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    NOTE 7 – Enterprise Wide Segment Information and Net Sales

    Segment Reporting. For financial reporting purposes, we operate in a single segment, standard semiconductor products, through our various manufacturing and distribution facilities. We aggregate our products because the products are similar and have similar economic characteristics, use similar production processes and share similar customer type. Our primary operations include operations in Asia, the Americas, and Europe. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, one customer accounted for approximately $42.7 million or 14.2% of our net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, two customers accounted for $51.8 million, or 11.1%, and $51.6 million, or 11.0%, of our net sales. One customer accounted for approximately 17.3% of our outstanding accounts receivable at March 31, 2024. All customers that accounted for 10% or more of our net sales during any period presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are broad-based global distributors that sell to thousands of different end users.

    Disaggregation of Net Sales. We disaggregate net sales with customers into direct sales to end customers and distribution sales to distributors (“Distributors”) and by geographic area. Direct sales customers consist of those customers using our product in their manufacturing process, and Distributors are those customers who resell our products to third parties. We deliver our products to customers around the world for use in the industrial, automotive, computing, consumer, and communications markets. Further, most of our contracts are fixed-price arrangements, and are short term in nature, ranging from days to several months. The tables below set forth net sales based on the location of the subsidiary producing the net sale:

    Our Asia subsidiaries maintain short-term credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $153.1 million as of March 31, 2024. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted, and contain no restrictive covenants. These credit facilities bear interest at SOFR or similar indices plus a specified margin. Interest payments are due monthly on outstanding amounts under the credit lines. The unused and available credit under the various short-term credit facilities as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $103.7 million, net of $48.9 million advanced under our foreign credit lines and $0.4 million of credit used for import and export guarantee.

    The Company maintains a long-term credit facility (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $225.0 million, including a swing line sublimit equal to the lesser of $50.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, a letter of credit sublimit equal to the lesser of $100.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, and an alternative currency sublimit equal to the lesser of $40.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has the option to increase the Credit Facility and/or incur Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million. The Credit Agreement bears interest at Term SOFR or similar other indices plus a specified margin and matures in May 2028. There was no outstanding balance at March 31, 2024.

    NOTE 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

    Purchase Commitments. We have entered into non-cancelable purchase contracts for capital expenditures, primarily for manufacturing equipment, for approximately $23.5 million at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we also had a commitment to purchase approximately $40.2 million of wafers to be used in our manufacturing process. These wafer purchases are scheduled to occur through 2025.

    Defined Benefit Plan. We have a contributory defined benefit plan that covers certain employees in the United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2024, the underfunded liability for this defined benefit plan was approximately $10.1 million. We have agreed to a revised schedule of contributions of GBP 2.0 million (approximately $2.6 million based on a GBP: USD exchange rate of 1:1.3) to be paid annually with effect from January 1, 2023 to address the deficit revealed by the valuation (with the annual payments to be made by December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2028). A final payment of GBP 1.5 million (approximately $2.0 million based on a GBP: USD rate of 1:1.3) will be made by December 31, 2029.

    -13-


     

    Contingencies. From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While we intend to defend any lawsuit vigorously, we presently believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows, or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs and future periods. Based on available information available, we evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes of all pending disputes. We record an appropriate liability when the amount of any liability associated with a pending dispute is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we do not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs as they are expensed as incurred. The Company is not currently a party to any pending litigation that we consider material.

    Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments

    We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates, and the net investment risk in our foreign subsidiaries. Our objectives for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating, and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. Our derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

    Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk. We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $400.8 million and $230.4 million, respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward agreements that are intended to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities; these instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 815.

    Hedges of Interest Rate and Net Investment Risk. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, including interest rate collars, as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company makes use of cross-currency swaps and foreign-currency forward contracts to decrease the foreign exchange risk inherent in the Company’s investment in some of its foreign subsidiaries.

    The table below sets forth the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

    NOTE 12 – Employee Benefit Plans

    We maintain a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for executive officers, key employees, and members of the Board of Directors. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible participants to defer the receipt of eligible compensation, including equity awards, until designated future dates. We offset our obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan primarily by investing in the actual underlying investments. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these investments totaled approximately $15.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

    NOTE 13 – Related Parties

    We conduct business with the following related parties: Keylink International (B.V.I.) Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Keylink”), Nuvoton Technology Corporation (“Nuvoton”), Jiyuan Crystal Photoelectric Frequency Technology Ltd. (“JCP”), and Atlas Magnetics, Co. (“Atlas”).

    Keylink is a 5% joint venture partner in our Shanghai assembly and test facilities. We sell products to, and purchase inventory from, companies owned by Keylink. In addition, our subsidiaries in China lease their manufacturing facilities in Shanghai from, and subcontract a portion of our manufacturing process (metal plating and environmental services) to, Keylink. We also pay a consulting fee to Keylink.

    Warren Chen, a member of the Company’s board of directors serves as a member of the Nuvoton board of directors. We purchase wafers from Nuvoton for use in our production process. We have an agreement to purchase approximately $15.8 million of wafers from Nuvoton that ends in the fourth quarter of 2025. We consider our relationship with Nuvoton to be mutually beneficial, and plan to continue our strategic alliance with Nuvoton.

    JCP is a frequency control product manufacturing company from which we purchase material and in which we have made an equity investment that we account for using the equity method of accounting.

    Atlas is an early stage privately held fabless wafer design company in which the Company holds a majority interest. The Company determined that Atlas is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Atlas. The Company has therefore determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Consequently, we do not consolidate the assets and liabilities of Atlas in the Company’s financial statements. For additional information related to Atlas see Note 14 - Equity Investments - Unconsolidated VIE, below.

    Note 14 - Equity Investments

    The Company maintains equity investments in companies which are accounted for under the measurement alternative described in ASC 321-10-35-2 for equity securities that lack readily determinable fair values. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $55.6 million of investments accounted for under the measurement alternative.

    Unconsolidated VIE

    During July 2021, the Company acquired an interest in Atlas, an early stage privately held fabless wafer design company located in the western United States. The Company’s initial investment in July 2021 was $10.0 million of preferred stock and a $5.0 million convertible promissory note. In April 2023, the Company acquired an additional interest in Atlas by purchasing $13.9 million of preferred stock. The primary purpose for providing the additional investment in Atlas was for continued access to developing technology with potential future benefit to the Company. As part of the April 2023 agreement, the Company’s previously held convertible note converted to $5.2 million of preferred stock and at March 31, 2024, the Company owned more than 50% of Atlas. The Company determined that Atlas is a VIE and a related party. While the Company does own more that 50% of Atlas, according to the voting agreement governing the transaction, the Company does not have the power to control the board of directors or direct the activities that most significantly impact Atlas, including:

    • The hiring and firing of officers (i.e., CEO, CFO, etc.) – The hiring and firing of personnel responsible for making the key daily decisions and implementing the strategic operating direction will determine the success the Company has in their initiatives, thereby affecting the economic performance;

    • Determining the business plan and budget, including incurring additional indebtedness or issuing additional equity interests – As Atlas is thinly capitalized, the decisions around when and how to obtain cash will influence whether AM can continue operating; and

    • Determining the strategic operating direction of Atlas – The decisions made around the significant operating direction of Atlas will significantly impact the overall performance of the Company by determining where and how Atlas limited capital is spent without having significant revenues to keep the Company operating.

    As the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Atlas, the Company did not consolidate the assets and liabilities of Atlas in our financial statements and instead accounts for the investment under the measurement alternative described in ASC 321-10-35-2 using the available measurement alternative for equity securities that lack readily determinable fair value. As such, the Company’s investment is measured at cost less impairment, and adjusted to fair value if there are any observable price changes for identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

    Atlas is funded through debt and equity. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment in Atlas and notes receivable and accrued interest owed to the Company from Atlas. The following is a summary of the Company’s holdings in Atlas, a VIE, in which we are not the primary beneficiary:

Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.

    This management’s discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“Form 10-K”), previously filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 9, 2024.

    Overview

    We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog, and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. The Company serves the industrial, automotive, computing, communications, and consumer markets. For more information about our product and markets we serve, see Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 above. Our products are sold primarily throughout Asia, the Americas, and Europe. We believe that our focus on application-specific standard products utilizing innovative, highly efficient packaging and cost-effective process technologies, coupled with our collaborative, customer-focused product development, provides us with a meaningful competitive advantage relative to other semiconductor companies.

    Summary for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

    •
    Net sales were $302.0 million, a decrease of 35.4% from the $467.2 million in the first quarter 2023 and a decrease of 6.4% from the $322.7 million in the fourth quarter 2023;
    •
    Gross profit was $99.6 million, a decrease of 48.8% from the $194.5 million in the first quarter 2023 and a decrease of 11.5% from the $112.5 million in the fourth quarter 2023;
    •
    Gross profit margin was 33.0%, compared to 41.6% in the first quarter 2023 and 34.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023;
    •
    Net income attributable to common stockholders was $14.0 million, compared to $71.2 million in the first quarter 2023 and $25.3 million in the fourth quarter 2023;
    •
    Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $1.54 per diluted share in the first quarter 2023 and $0.55 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023; and
    •
    Cash flow used in operations was $31.1 million. We had $20.4 of capital expenditures. Net cash flow was a negative $47.9 million.

    As of March 31, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $276.0 million, and we had access to additional borrowing capacity of $225.0 million under the revolving portion of our U.S. Credit Agreement. We believe our liquidity and our borrowing capacity will allow us to manage the impacts of the recent industry challenges on our business and to cover our cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

    Net sales decreased approximately $165.3 million, or 35.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year. Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflected the slower than expected recovery in the consumer, computing and communications markets coupled with typical first quarter seasonality due to the Chinese New Year holiday. However, late in the quarter the Company began to experience some signs of demand improvement with distributor inventory levels starting to stabilize. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the automotive and industrial end markets, combined product revenue remained above the Company’s target model of 40% but continues to be affected by inventory adjustments and softness in certain areas. More broadly, the slower overall demand environment in the quarter contributed to reduced loading at our manufacturing facilities both internal production as well as from our manufacturing service agreements, temporarily impacting gross margin.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2024, weighted-average sales price decreased 27.6%, when compared to the same period in 2023.

    The table below sets forth our product revenue as a percentage of total product revenue by end-user market for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

    Cost of goods sold decreased approximately $70.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year, due to the decreased net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold was 67.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 58.4% for the same period last year. Average unit cost decreased

    -19-


     

    approximately 16.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, gross profit decreased approximately 48.8% when compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 33.0% and 41.6%, respectively.

    Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $21.4 million when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 28.7% and 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. SG&A decreased approximately $17.3 million as compared to the same period last year driven primarily by decreases in wages and selling expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increases in SG&A operating expenses. SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, was 17.8% and 15.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses (“R&D”) increased approximately $0.7 million due to increases in professional services and supplies expenses as compared to the same period last year. R&D, as a percentage of net sales, was 11.2% and 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gain on disposal of fixed assets increased $4.8 million the three months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    Interest income increased $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year due to income earned on financial instruments to hedge the Company’s net investment risk as well as higher interest rates earned on short-term investments. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 75.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period last year due to lower debt levels partially offset by higher interest rates. Unrealized gain on investments decreased from 2023 due to mark to market adjustments on investments recorded in 2023 and not repeated in 2024.

    We recognized an income tax expense of approximately $3.5 million and $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease in income taxes for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily attributable to a decrease in pretax book income.

    Financial Condition

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and our credit facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased from $318.5 million at December 31, 2023 to $270.6 million at March 31, 2024. This decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reflects normal operations of the Company. As of March 31, 2024, we had short-term investments totaling $9.8 million. These investments are highly liquid with maturity dates greater than three months at the date of purchase. We generally can access these investments in a relatively short time frame but in doing so we generally forfeit all earned and future interest income.

    At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our working capital was $824.0 million and $793.9 million, respectively. We expect cash generated by our operations together with existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available borrowing under credit facilities to be sufficient to cover our cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.

    Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of certain European and Asian subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2024, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $197.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments of which approximately $58.9 million would be subject to a potential non-U.S. withholding tax if distributed outside the country in which the cash is currently held. The $58.9 million is held in Germany, China, Korea, and Taiwan.

    Short-term debt

    Our Asia subsidiaries maintain short-term credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $153.1 million. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted, and contain no restrictive covenants. These credit facilities bear interest at SOFR or similar indices plus a specified margin. Interest payments are due monthly on outstanding amounts under the credit lines. The unused and available credit under the various facilities as of March 31, 2024, was approximately $103.7 million, net of $48.9 million advanced under our foreign credit lines and $0.4 million of credit used for import and export guarantee.

    Long-term debt

    The Company maintains a long-term credit facility (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement consists of a Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $225.0 million, including a swing line sublimit equal to the lesser of $50.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, a letter of credit sublimit equal to the lesser of $100.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility, and an alternative currency sublimit equal to the lesser of $40.0 million and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has the option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility and/or incur Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million. The Credit Agreement bears interest at Term SOFR or similar other indices plus a specified margin and matures in May 2028. There was no outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2024.

    -20-


     

    Because some of our outstanding debt is subject to variable interest rates, the recent rise in interest rates will potentially increase our overall debt service cost. If interest rates continue to rise globally, our cost of capital may increase in the future.

    Operating Activities

    Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $31.1 million. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from net income of $15.3 million, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of $34.8 million and share-based compensation of $5.1 million. The increases were offset by a decrease in operating asset and liability accounts of $77.4 million and a gain on disposal of property plant and equipment of $4.9 million. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $99.8 million. Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted from net income of $72.0 million, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of $33.6 million and share-based compensation of $9.8 million. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating asset and liability accounts of $11.7 million and a non-cash investment gain of $3.8 million.

    Investing Activities

    Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities was $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20.4 million, or 6.7% of net sales. We expect capital expenditures for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 to be within our target model of 5% to 9% of net sales. Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities was $48.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $48.0 million, or 10.3% of net sales, due to the expansion of a wafer fabrication facility located in Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan.

    Financing Activities

    Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of $8.6 million of net increases in our debt, partially offset by taxes paid on net share settlements of $5.4 million. Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities was $70.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of $60.8 million of net reductions in our debt and taxes paid on net share settlements of $9.7 million.

    Use of Derivative Instruments and Hedging

    We use interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, and cross currency swaps to provide a level of protection against interest rate risks and foreign exchange exposure.

    Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

    The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, including interest rate collars, as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

    -21-


     

    Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

    We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure and to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC No. 815. The fair value of our foreign exchange hedges approximates zero.

    Hedges of Net Investment Risk

    The Company makes use of cross-currency swaps and foreign-currency forward contracts to decrease the foreign exchange risk inherent in the Company’s investment in some of its foreign subsidiaries.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    We do not have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that will affect our liquidity or capital resources. We have no special purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support, nor do we engage in leasing, swap agreements, or outsourcing of research and development services that could expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of our financial statements.

    Contractual Obligations

    There have been no material changes in our Contractual Obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024.

    Critical Accounting Estimates

    Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024. Any new accounting estimates or updates to existing accounting estimates as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies. The application of our critical accounting estimates may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

    We are and will continue to be under continuous pressure from our customers and competitors to reduce the price of our products, which could adversely affect our growth and profit margins.

    Our customers require our products to undergo a lengthy and expensive qualification process without any assurance of product sales and may demand to audit our operations from time to time. A failure to qualify a product or a negative audit finding could adversely affect our net sales, operating results, and financial condition.

    Our customer orders are subject to cancellation or modification, usually with no penalty. High volumes of order cancellation or reduction in quantities ordered could adversely affect our net sales, operating results, and financial condition.

    Production at our manufacturing facilities could be disrupted for a variety of reasons, including natural disasters and other extraordinary events, which could prevent us from producing enough of our products to maintain our sales and satisfy our customers’ demands and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

    New technologies could result in the development of new products by our competitors and a decrease in demand for our products, and we may not be able to develop new products to satisfy changes in demand, which would adversely affect our net sales, market share, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or demands that we license third-party technology, which could result in significant expense, reduction in our intellectual property rights, and a negative impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, manufacturing services, product and process development, parts and equipment, as well as finished products from other manufacturers, and our reputation with customers, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.

    A significant part of our growth strategy involves acquiring companies and businesses. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate desired acquisitions and, if we do make any acquisitions, we may be unable to successfully integrate any acquired companies with our operations, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could result in significant expenses and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may incur additional costs and face emerging risks associated with environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors impacting our operations.

    Our products, or products we purchase from third parties for resale, may be found to be defective and, as a result, warranty claims and product liability claims may be asserted against us and we may not have recourse against our suppliers, which may harm our business, reputation with our customers, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may fail to attract or retain the qualified technical, sales, marketing, finance, and management/executive personnel required to operate our business successfully, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may not be able to achieve future growth, and any such growth may place a strain on our management and on our systems and resources, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    Obsolete inventories as a result of changes in demand for our products and change in life cycles of our products could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    -23-

    Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates or foreign exchange exposure or our counterparties might not perform as agreed.

    We may have a significant amount of debt with various financial institutions worldwide. Any indebtedness could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and our ability to meet payment obligations under such debt.

    Restrictions in our credit facilities may limit our business and financial activities, including our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.

    Our business benefits from certain Chinese government incentives. Expiration of, or changes to, these incentives could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

    We operate a global business through numerous foreign subsidiaries, and there is a risk that tax authorities will challenge our transfer pricing methodologies or legal entity structures, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

    Certain of our employees in the U.K. participate in a company-sponsored defined benefit plan which subjects the Company to risks associated with the estimates and assumptions used in calculating expense and funding requirements recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Inaccuracies or changes in these estimates could require material changes in the expense and funding required.

    Compliance with government regulations and customer demands regarding the use of “conflict minerals” may result in increased costs and may have a negative impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or detect fraud, which could harm our business and the trading price of our Common Stock.

    Risks Related to our International Operations

    Our international operations subject us to risks that could adversely affect our operations.

    A slowdown in the Chinese economy could limit the growth in demand for electronic devices containing our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and prospects.

    Economic regulation in China could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and prospects.

    We could be adversely affected by violations of the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K.’s Bribery Act 2010, China’s anti-corruption campaign and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.

    We are subject to foreign currency risk as a result of our international operations.

    China is experiencing rapid social, political, and economic change, which has increased labor costs and other related costs that could make doing business in China less advantageous than in prior years. Increased labor costs in China could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may not continue to receive preferential tax treatment in Asia, thereby increasing our income tax expense and reducing our net income.

    The distribution of any earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign income taxes, thus reducing our net income.

    We could be adversely affected by the compromise or theft of our technology, know-how, data, or intellectual property or a requirement that we yield rights in technology, know-how, data stored in foreign jurisdictions, or intellectual property that we use in such foreign jurisdictions.

    Risks Related to Our Common Stock

    Variations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to be volatile.

    We may enter into future acquisitions and take certain actions in connection with such acquisitions that could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

    Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may hinder a take-over attempt.

     

    -24-


     

    General Risks

    The invasion of Ukraine by Russia could negatively impact our business.

    The success of our business depends on the strength of the global economy and the stability of the financial markets, and any weaknesses in these areas may have a material adverse effect on our net sales, operating results, and financial condition.

    We may be adversely affected by any disruption in our information technology systems, which could adversely affect our cash flows, operating results, and financial condition.

    Terrorist attacks, or threats or occurrences of other terrorist activities, whether in the U.S. or internationally, may affect the markets in which our Common Stock trades, the markets in which we operate and our operating results, and financial condition.

    System security risks, data protection breaches, cyber-attacks and other related cybersecurity issues could disrupt our internal operations, and any such disruption could reduce our expected net sales, increase our expenses, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our stock price.

    Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

    There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024.

    Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

    Our Chief Executive Officer, Keh-Shew Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, Brett R. Whitmire, with the participation of our management, carried out an evaluation, as of March 31, 2024, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be included in this Quarterly Report is:

    •
    recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and
    •
    accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.

    Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes, or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

    Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

    There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, known to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

    Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

    The Company is not a party to any pending litigation that we consider material.

    From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While we intend to defend any lawsuit vigorously, we presently believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows, or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods.

In certain instances the disclosure schedules to such agreements or documents contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants. Moreover, some of the representations and warranties may not be complete or accurate as of a particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from those generally applicable to stockholders and/or were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing certain matters as facts.
