(NYSE:UNA):

    --  Intermec Revenues increase 13% over the prior-year-quarter to
        $219.8 million

    --  Pre-tax Earnings from Continuing Operations increase 140% over
        the prior-year-quarter to $12.9 million

    --  UNOVA signs Definitive Agreement to sell its Landis Operations

    UNOVA, Inc. (NYSE:UNA) today announced financial results for its
fiscal third quarter which ended October 2, 2005.
    UNOVA reported third quarter revenues of $219.8 million and after
tax earnings from continuing operations of $11.3 million, or $0.18 per
diluted share, compared to 2004 third quarter revenues of $194.8
million and after tax earnings from continuing operations of $6.8
million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Including discontinued
operations, net earnings for the third quarter of 2005 was $4.6
million, or $0.07 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $5.9
million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year's third quarter.
    Intermec operating profits, including the impact of $5.7 million
of incremental legal expense, increased to $18.0 million for the third
quarter of 2005, compared to $17.1 million for the same prior year
period. The Company's pre-tax earnings from continuing operations
increased 140% in the current quarter to $12.9 million, compared to
$5.4 million in the prior year's third quarter.
    "This third quarter performance reflects the continuing growth and
operating leverage that have characterized our business for some
time," said Larry D. Brady, Chairman and CEO. "Our ongoing efforts to
establish Intermec as the technology leader were bolstered this
quarter by the launch of our MEMS -- based laser scanning technology,
along with the success derived from our RFID Rapid Start licensing
program."
    Intermec product revenue categories achieved double digit growth
over the comparable 2004 quarter. Systems and Solutions revenue
increased 12 percent and Printer and Media revenues increased 10
percent over the comparable prior-year period. Service revenue
increased 16 percent over the comparable prior-year period.
    Geographically, North American revenues achieved an increase of 18
percent over the comparable prior-year period. Revenues in Europe,
Mid-East and Africa (EMEA) increased 7 percent, Latin America revenues
increased 8 percent and revenues in Asia Pacific decreased 6 percent.
    Corporate and other expenditures were $4.4 million for the third
quarter of 2005, a reduction of $3.9 million compared to the $8.3
million in the prior-year-quarter.
    The Company's discontinued operations recorded an after-tax loss
of ($6.7) million for the current quarter, including an after-tax
charge of approximately $6.5 million related to the settlement of a
legal dispute with Tower Automotive.
    Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company reached an agreement to
sell its Landis Grinding Systems operations to Groupe Fives-Lille, a
leading industrial engineering group based in Montreuil-sous-Bois,
France. The anticipated transaction will fully complete UNOVA's stated
commitment to divest its Industrial Automation Systems businesses. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected
to be completed by the end of the year.
    Under the terms of the agreement, Groupe Fives-Lille will purchase
the global operations of UNOVA's Landis Grinding Systems. The
consideration for the purchased assets consists of $69 million in
cash, a $10 million two-year note plus the assumption of certain
liabilities including pension and other post-retirement obligations.
The purchase price is subject to possible adjustments based on net
working assets at closing.
    The Company's cash and cash equivalent position at the end of the
third quarter was $180 million, an increase of $7 million during the
third quarter. The increase in cash reflects the use of $8.5 million
for debt repayment, reducing the Company's total debt to $100 million.
The Company's net cash, defined as cash and cash equivalents less
total debt, increased approximately $15 million to a record $80
million.
