                COMPANY ACHIEVES RECORD REVENUES AND NET INCOME;
                     Q3 REVENUES INCREASE 32% YEAR-OVER-YEAR

    SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24 /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 third quarter ended September 30, 2006.

    Revenues were $18.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared with
$14.3 million for the third quarter of 2005 and $16.3 million for the second
quarter of 2006. Net income, calculated in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), for the third quarter of 2006
was $911,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with net loss for the third
quarter of 2005 of $193,000, or $0.02 per share, and net loss for the second
quarter of 2006 of $207,000, or $0.02 per share.

    Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $2.0 million, or $0.14
per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of
2005 of $732,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income for the
second quarter of 2006 of $915,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.

    For the third quarter of 2006, non-GAAP net income was calculated by
excluding amortization of intangible assets of $152,000, non-cash stock-based
compensation expense of $878,000 incurred as a result of the company's adoption
of SFAS 123R, and loss on sale of assets of $84,000 related to the relocation of
company headquarters. For the third quarter of 2005, non-GAAP net income was
calculated by excluding the expensing of transaction costs for a withdrawn
secondary offering of $773,000 and amortization of intangible assets of
$152,000. For the second quarter of 2006, non-GAAP net loss was calculated by
excluding amortization of intangible assets of $150,000 and non-cash stock-based
compensation expense of $972,000 incurred as a result of the company's adoption
of SFAS 123R.

    Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2006
were $66.7 million, compared with $67.0 million at June 30, 2006.

    "We experienced record revenues and profits this quarter based on strong
customer demand for our mobile infrastructure products," said Ed Keible,
Endwave's Chief Executive Officer and President. "In addition, non-telecom
revenues increased 15 percent sequentially due to increased sales for our
high-frequency defense and homeland security sub-systems."

    Third Quarter Highlights:

    -- Revenues were $18.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, up 32%
       compared with the year ago period, and up 15% compared with the second
       quarter of 2006.

    -- Revenues attributable to customers in telecom markets were approximately
       $16.5 million; revenues attributable to customers in defense electronics,
       homeland security and other non-telecom markets were approximately $2.4
       million.

    -- GAAP gross margin was 31%, and non-GAAP gross margin was 33%. Non-GAAP
       gross margin was adjusted for amortization of intangible assets and
       non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

    -- The largest customers in the third quarter were Nera, Nokia and Siemens.

    -- For the first nine months of 2006, revenues were $48.9 million, a 37%
       increase over the first nine months of 2005.

    -- The company began production of the complete RF mast system for L-3
       SafeView's security portal scanner.

    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 income (loss) and net income (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.
