San Jose, CA | Posted on July 26th, 2007

For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, Ultratech reported net sales of $30.0 million compared to $26.0 million during the second quarter of 2006. Ultratech's net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.0 million or $0.04 per share (diluted) compared to a net loss of $1.2 million or $0.05 per share for the same quarter last year.

For the first six months of 2007, Ultratech reported net sales of $57.4 million compared to net sales of $61.0 million in the first six months of 2006. Ultratech reported a net loss of $2.2 million or $0.10 per share during the first half of 2007, compared to net income of $0.4 million or $0.02 per share (diluted) for the first half of 2006.

Arthur W. Zafiropoulo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The second quarter results represented a solid quarter of execution. We improved our bottom line as a result of our actions to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency."

"During the quarter, logic device manufacturers invested in laser processing for 65nm production and 45nm development as evidenced by the shipment of a LSA100 tool and taking another tool into revenue for the quarter. Our advanced packaging products drove the company's business predominately in the solder bump 300mm area," continued Zafiropoulo.

"Ultratech will continue to improve operational efficiency to reduce product costs," Zafiropoulo concluded.

At June 30, 2007, Ultratech had $130.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. Working capital was $120.7 million and stockholders' equity was $7.45 per share based on 23,298,477 total shares outstanding on June 30, 2007.
