FD Disclosure.
On
September 13, 2007, Diodes Incorporated (the “Company”) announced an increase in
its revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2007. The Company now expects
record third quarter revenue with sequential growth of 8 to 10 percent as
compared to the previously provided guidance of 6 to 9 percent. Additionally,
the Company reaffirmed its guidance of slightly improved gross profit margin
for
the third quarter. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1
to
this Current Report.
The
information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be treated
as
filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the
“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This
information will not be incorporated by reference into a filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless
that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report. The
furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 is not intended to, and does
not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation
FD or that the information in this Item 7.01 is material information that
is not
otherwise publicly available.
Cautionary
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Except
for the historical and factual information contained in the press release,
attached as an exhibit to this Report, the matters set forth therein
(including
statements as to the expected benefits of the consolidation, and other
statements identified by words such as “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,”
“plans,” “will” and similar expressions) are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including:
the
possibility that the Company failed to meet the revenue guidance due
to
miscalculation, low demand of products, the Company's inability to maintain
customer and vendor relationships, negative impact of competitive products
and
pricing, unsuccessful integration of acquired companies and/or assets,
high
risks of foreign operations, unfavorable exchange rates, unavailability
of tax
credits; and the impact of competition and other risk factors relating
to our
industry and business as detailed from time to time in the Company's
reports
filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of the press release. The
Company
undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
