Diodes, Inc. Included in Business 2.0 Magazine's Second Annual ``B2 100'' Ranking Of Fastest-Growing Technology Companies

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--Sept. 12, 2003--Diodes Incorporated , a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality discrete semiconductors, announced its inclusion today in Business 2.0's second annual B2 100, the magazine's ranking of the fastest-growing technology companies. Diodes ranked 59 on the list. The B2 100 is featured in the October 2003 issue of the magazine, on newsstands September 22.

To make the B2 100, which was selected from an original group of 2,000 publicly traded tech firms, companies had to meet rigorous financial requirements. Criteria for making the final list included at least three years of trading on a major U.S. stock exchange, at least $50 million in annual revenue, and positive cash flow over the most recently reported 12 months. Business 2.0 editors ranked the companies with the help of Zacks Investment Research of Chicago, using a combination of four financial criteria: growth in revenue, profit, and operating cash flow during the past three years, and the 12-month stock return. Cash flow growth counted for 40 percent of a company's ranking; each of the other criteria counted for 20 percent.

"Diodes, Inc. is very proud to be selected by Business 2.0 again. In the past year, we were able to achieve outstanding growth in revenue, net income, and operating cash flow, and improve our ranking from 89th place the prior year," said C. H. Chen, Diodes President and CEO. "We will continue to look for opportunities that will benefit the Company long-term and help to achieve its financial and operational objectives."

"Companies on the 2003 B2 100 have shown remarkable results in a most challenging business environment. But what the list shows is who to watch, who to watch out for, and what we can learn from the leaders," said Josh Quittner, editor of Business 2.0. "Technology is alive and well, as proven by the performance of these companies."
