IPGP Q3 Results/2

There were no adjustments to net income and earnings per share in the third quarter of 2007. For the third quarter of 2006, adjusted net income was $6.9 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.17. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2006 are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2006 excluded a $2.1 million charge related to the change in the fair value of the Company’s previously outstanding series B warrants, and adjusted earnings per diluted share excluded additional amounts of $0.5 million in accretion related to preferred stock and $0.6 million related to income attributable to preferred stock. Please refer to the exhibit to this press release for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to net income and earnings per share, respectively, for 2006.

Cash and cash equivalents were $44.8 million on September 30, 2007, compared to $75.7 million on December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of capital expenditures of $26.5 million and the repayment of $18.2 million of term debt, partially offset by net proceeds from our credit lines of $12.7 million.

Comments on the Third Quarter

“The successful execution of our growth strategy resulted in another quarter of record financial results,” said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics’ Chief Executive Officer. “Sales of our lasers for materials processing applications drove our revenue growth in the quarter. We are enthusiastic about our opportunities to sell high-power lasers into this market for the long term. We also are generating increasing demand for our fiber laser technology from advanced applications such as test and measurement, instrumentation, sensing, scientific R&D and defense. During this quarter we also saw the beginnings of a rebound in telecommunications sales on the strength of orders from Russia.”

Business Outlook

“Our success thus far in 2007 positions us well for another quarter of solid financial results and further growth in 2008,” said Dr. Gapontsev. “Operationally, the build-out of our manufacturing infrastructure strengthens our status as the only integrated manufacturer of fiber lasers and gives us a significant competitive advantage in the market. Our expanding worldwide presence, including our new office in China, provides us with significant new opportunities. And the strength of our advanced fiber laser technology continues to displace traditional lasers and other non-laser technologies in a wide range of applications.”

For the fourth quarter of 2007, IPG Photonics expects revenues in the range of $51 million to $54 million. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.17 to $0.20 based on 45,731,000 common shares, which includes 43,362,000 basic common shares outstanding and 2,369,000 potentially dilutive options at September 30, 2007.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share for 2006, in each case excluding the impact of the fair value adjustment to the series B warrants and preferred stock accretion. The Company believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of growth in the Company’s core operating results and future prospects, and can also help investors who wish to make comparisons between IPG Photonics and other companies. IPG Photonics management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring its core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of the Company’s competitors. These measures also are used by management in its financial and operating decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies. Although non-GAAP financial measures used in this release exclude the accounting treatment of the fair value adjustment to the series B warrants and preferred stock accretion, these non-GAAP measures should not be relied upon independently, as they do not reflect the impact that these items have on the Company’s operating results. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the exhibit to this press release.
