Commenting on the results, Gary Yu, President of Diodes, stated, “Our above seasonal revenue results in the fourth quarter reflect the improving momentum we have seen over the past few quarters as the markets in Asia gradually improve, especially in China and the Southeast Asia region. We achieved 5% growth over the fourth quarter 2023, which marks a return to year-over-year growth following the multi-year market slowdown. Even though the overall global demand environment remains challenging, especially in Europe and North America, we were able to maintain our automotive and industrial mix percentage at 42% of total product revenue, which is a testament to the progress we have made on our new product and content expansion initiatives.

“Diodes enters the new year having strong POS in Asia for 2024, improved levels of channel inventory and a solid balance sheet combined with a committed focus on expanding growth in our target markets, especially the automotive and industrial markets, and capitalizing on new opportunities in AI-related applications. With our product mix consistently above our target model, we are well positioned for future growth and margin expansion as the market recovery broadens across our end markets in 2025 and beyond.”
