  Q2 REVENUES INCREASE 33% YEAR-OVER-YEAR, ACHIEVING HIGHEST QUARTERLY REVENUES
                               IN COMPANY HISTORY

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endwave Corporation
(Nasdaq: ENWV), a leading provider of high frequency RF modules for
telecommunications networks, defense electronics and homeland security systems,
today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

    Revenues were $16.3 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared with
$12.2 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $13.7 million for the first
quarter of 2006. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (GAAP), net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $207,000,
or $0.02 per share, compared with net income for the second quarter of 2005 of
$318,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, and net loss for the first quarter of 2006
of $1.2 million, or $0.10 per share.

    Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $915,000, or $0.07
per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of
2005 of $424,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net loss for the
first quarter of 2006 of $312,000, or $0.03 per share.

    For the second quarter of 2006, non-GAAP net income was calculated by
excluding amortization of intangible assets of $150,000 and non-cash stock-
based compensation expense of $972,000 related to SFAS 123(R). For the second
quarter of 2005, non-GAAP net income was calculated by excluding the
amortization of intangible assets of $152,000, and a restructuring benefit of
$46,000. For the first quarter of 2006, non-GAAP net loss was calculated by
excluding amortization of intangible assets of $152,000 and non-cash stock-
based compensation expense of $714,000 related to SFAS 123(R).

    Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2006 were
approximately $67 million, compared with $21.9 million at March 31, 2006.
Approximately $43 million of this increase resulted from the preferred financing
completed by Endwave during the quarter, and approximately $2 million was
generated by Company operations.

    "We are pleased to see the strong year-over-year revenue growth, producing
the largest quarterly revenues in our history. In addition, we achieved improved
gross margin while continuing to introduce new products into both our telecom
and non-telecom markets," said Ed Keible, Endwave's Chief Executive Officer and
President.

    Second Quarter Financial Highlights:

    * Revenues were $16.3 million for the second quarter of 2006, up 33%
compared with the year ago period, and up 19% compared with the first quarter of
2006.
    * Revenues were $30.1 million for the first six months of 2006, a 41%
increase over the first six months of 2005.
    * The largest customers in the second quarter were Nera, Nokia and Siemens.
    * Revenues attributable to customers in telecom markets were approximately
$14.3 million; revenues attributable to customers in defense electronics,
homeland security and other non-telecom markets were approximately $2.1 million.
    * GAAP gross margin was 29%, and non-GAAP gross margin was 31%. Non-GAAP

stock-based compensation expense.

Investment Partners XI, Limited Partnership for gross proceeds of $45 million to
fund future growth and acquisitions.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP), Endwave uses certain measures of financial performance that are non-
GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures include gross
margin, net loss and net loss per share data that are adjusted from results
based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP
measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the
Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the
future. Specifically, Endwave believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful
information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that
may not be indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be
considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should
not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP
measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results
in the attached tables.
