NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Nature of Operations

Diodes Incorporated, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we” or “our”) (Nasdaq: DIOD), is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality, application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. We serve the consumer electronics, computing, communications, industrial, and automotive markets. Our products include diodes, rectifiers, transistors, MOSFETs, protection devices, function-specific arrays, single gate logic, amplifiers and comparators, Hall-effect and temperature sensors, power management devices, including LED drivers, AC-DC converters and controllers, DC-DC switching and linear voltage regulators, and voltage references along with special function devices, such as USB power switches, load switches, voltage supervisors, and motor controllers. Our corporate headquarters and Americas’ sales office are located in Plano, Texas and Milpitas, California. Design, marketing, and engineering centers are located in Plano; Milpitas; Taipei, Taoyuan City and Zhubei City, Taiwan; Manchester, England; and Neuhaus, Germany. Our wafer fabrication facilities are located in Manchester and in Shanghai, China. We have assembly and test facilities located in Shanghai, Jinan and Chengdu, China, as well as in Hong Kong, Neuhaus and Taipei. Additional engineering, research and development, sales, warehouse, and logistics offices are located in Taipei; Hong Kong; Manchester; Shanghai; Shenzhen, Yangzhou, China; Seongnam-si, South Korea; and Munich, Germany, with support offices throughout the world.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial data at December 31, 2017 is derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2018 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows in conformity with GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Form 10-K.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2018.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates taking into consideration discrete items occurring in a quarter.

Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. Certain prior year’s balances have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which could have potential impact on the Company’s financial statements:   

Recently Adopted Standards

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - On January 1, 2018, we adopted the comprehensive new revenue recognition standard issued by the FASB.  This standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the previous revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, reported revenue, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 7 for our expanded revenue disclosures required by the new standard.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments – In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of restricted cash which requires that on the statement of cash flows, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included within the beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result, restricted cash amounts that have historically been included in prepaid expenses on our consolidated balance sheets are now included with cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 we had restricted cash of approximately $1.4 million. Restricted cash is pledged as collateral when we enter into agreements with banks for certain banking facilities.

Standards Effective in Future Years

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases and requires, among other things,  lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most lease arrangements . The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  The standard offers a number of practical expedients for transition and certain expedients specific to lessees or lessors.  Both lessees and lessors are permitted to make an election to apply a package of practical expedients available for implementation under the standard.  For transition, the Company will recognize all effects of transition in the beginning of the adoption reporting period on January 1, 2019. 

The Company will continue its implementation work of ASU 2016-02 in 2018, including enhancements to the Company’s internal control framework, accounting systems and related documentation surrounding its lease accounting processes and the preparation of any additional disclosures that will be required.

ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) - In July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, to add clarity to certain areas within ASU 2016-02. The effective date and transition requirements will be the same as ASU 2016-02. The Company will evaluate and adopt this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-02.

ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”) - In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which now allows entities the option of recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption (January 1, 2019) while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance.   The Company will evaluate and adopt this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-02.

ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07") - In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently assessing the effect this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and stock awards, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.  

The table below sets forth the reconciliation between net income and the weighted average shares outstanding used for calculating basic and diluted EPS:

NOTE 5 – Income Tax Provision

 

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, provided an exemption from U.S. federal tax for dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  As of the completion of these financial statements and related disclosures, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act on our 2017 tax year.  We have not made any adjustments to the provisional tax expense of $45.9 million we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 to account for the tax effects of the Tax Act.  The Company expects to finalize the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act on the 2017 tax year no later than the fourth quarter of 2018, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.  Future adjustments made to the provisional effects will be reported as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined.

 

We incorporated the effects of the Tax Act into our 29.9% estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018.  As shown below, the actual 29.5% effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, varies from the estimated annual tax rate due to discrete items related to stock-based compensation activity during the quarter (accounted for under ASU 2016-09).

The table below sets forth information related to our income tax expense:    

 

              The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, is primarily attributable to a decrease due to differences in stock-based compensation activity during the comparable periods, offset by an increase due to the “GILTI” tax, which is a new tax on global intangible low-taxed income of non-U.S. subsidiaries that was created by the Tax Act and to which the Company is subject effective January 1, 2018.         

Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of European subsidiaries.  Any future distributions of foreign earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. income tax, but may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2008, or for the 2010 and 2011 tax years.  We are no longer subject to China income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2007. With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the U.S. (other than China), with limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2012. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties, if any, have been provided for in the Company’s reserve for any adjustments that may result from currently pending tax audits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. As of June 30, 2018, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $32.3 million. 

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

NOTE 6 – Share-Based Compensation

The table below sets forth the line items where share-based compensation expense was recorded

Stock Options. Approximately $3.0 million in cash proceeds was received from stock option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options.  

Share Grants. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period.   We also have share grants that are performance based that vest upon achievement of certain performance criteria.  Our Chief Executive Officer had a grant of 600,000 performance-based stock units that vested upon the Company reaching $1.0 billion in revenue.  Based on the Company reaching approximately $1.1 billion in revenue in 2017, our Chief Executive Officer’s grant of 600,000 performance-based stock units were released to the Chief Executive Officer, upon filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, in February 2018.  The expense related to the 600,000 performance-based units was all recognized in previous periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we issued 357,520 stock awards.  This was primarily made up of the annual grant for officers and directors.

As of June 30, 2018, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to share grants was approximately $15.1 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.  

Stock Modification. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we modified previously granted stock option and stock awards for two corporate officers who retired.  The result of the modification was the acceleration of the vesting of 7,500 stock options and 79,720 stock awards for the corporate officers.  The incremental expense recorded for this modification was approximately $1.8 million, which was expensed in SG&A in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

NOTE 7 – Segment Information and Revenue

Segment Reporting. For financial reporting purposes, we operate in a single segment, standard semiconductor products, through our various manufacturing and distribution facilities. We aggregate our products because the products are similar and have similar economic characteristics, use similar production processes and share the same customer type. Our primary operations include operations in Asia, North America and Europe. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, one customer, a broad-based global distributor that sells to thousands of different end users, accounted for 10.9% and 10.7% or $33.3 million and $61.7 million, respectively, of our revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the same customer accounted for 10.0% or $26.6 million of our revenue. The customer did not account for 10% or greater of our outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2018 or 2017.  No customers accounted for 10% or greater of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The tables below set forth net sales based on the location of the subsidiary producing the net sale.
