Diodes Inc. reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Diodes’ second quarter financials include one month of financial results from Zetex plc following the successful June completion of the acquisition.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2008 increased 20.5% to $116.0 million as compared to $96.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2007, and increased 21.4% when compared to $95.6 million reported in the first quarter of 2008.

Commenting on the quarter, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and CEO of Diodes Inc., said, "I am pleased to report strong quarterly financial results, including record revenue at the high end of our guidance and a 24% sequential increase in gross profit. The growth achieved in the quarter resulted from strength in our core business, particularly in Asia, combined with the one-month contribution from the Zetex acquisition. We achieved these results despite the continued weakening of the global economic environment and are confident in our ability to achieve growth rates that consistently exceed those of the industry."
Dr. Lu further commented, "In terms of the acquisition, our integration efforts are well underway with significant progress made in aligning and integrating the sales and distribution channels across all geographies. Zetex was accretive on an operational basis in the month of June, and we are well positioned to accelerate our growth through the extensive synergies and cross-selling opportunities of the combined companies, while capitalizing on the cost savings and operational benefits."
