Diodes sees Q1 revenue $323M plus or minus 3%, consensus $337.46M

Commenting on the results, Gary Yu, President of Diodes (DIOD), stated, “For the first quarter of 2025, we expect revenue to be approximately $323 million, plus or minus 3 percent, representing a 4.8% sequential decrease at the mid-point, due to the Chinese New Year holiday but slightly better than typical seasonality. Importantly, the mid-point of guidance represents 7% year-over-year growth and extends our momentum in support of our expectation for growth in 2025. GAAP gross margin is expected to be 32.5 percent, plus or minus 1 percent. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 30.0 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest income to be approximately $1.5 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18.5 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the first quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.7 million.”
