GUIDANCE:

Diodes sees Q4 2023 revenue of $325 million, versus the consensus of $409.9 million.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect revenue to be approximately $325 million, plus or minus 3 percent. GAAP gross margin is expected to be 35.0 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, primarily due to higher underutilization costs on the lower expected revenue combined with less favorable product mix from a reduced contribution of automotive and industrial revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which are GAAP operating expenses adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, are expected to be approximately 26.5 percent of revenue, plus or minus 1 percent. We expect net interest income to be approximately $2.0 million. Our income tax rate is expected to be 18 percent, plus or minus 3 percent, and shares used to calculate diluted EPS for the fourth quarter are anticipated to be approximately 46.6 million.
