ENDWAVE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Company Achieves Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in Excess of 25%
SAN JOSE, CA - February 7, 2007 - 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues were $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $13.1
million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $18.8 million for the third quarter
of 2006. Net loss, calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP), for the fourth quarter of 2006 was
$870,000, or $0.08 per share, compared with net loss for the fourth quarter of
2005 of $152,000, or $0.01 per share, and net income for the third quarter of
2006 of $911,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $229,000, or $0.02 per
diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2005
of $78,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income for the third
quarter of 2006 of $2.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. For the fourth
quarter of 2006, non-GAAP net income was calculated by excluding non-cash
stock-based compensation expense of $748,000 incurred as a result of the
Company's adoption of SFAS 123(R), the expensing of $200,000 of capitalized
transaction costs and amortization of intangible assets of $151,000.
For the full year, total revenues were $62.2 million, compared with $48.7
million for 2005. GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.3
million, or $0.12 per share, compared with GAAP net loss for 2005 of $874,000,
or $0.08 per share.
Non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2.9 million, or
$0.21 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net income for the year ended
December 31, 2005 of $562,000, or $0.05 per diluted share. For 2006, non-GAAP
net income was calculated by excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense
of $3.3 million incurred as a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS 123(R),
the expensing of $200,000 of capitalized transaction costs, amortization of
intangible assets of $605,000 and loss on sale of assets of $84,000.
As of December 31, 2006, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments had
increased by approximately $900,000 to $67.6 million from a balance of $66.7
million at September 30, 2006.

"We are pleased to report that despite a disappointing fourth quarter, we
experienced substantial revenue growth during 2006. This growth was driven by
Endwave's ability to exploit outsourcing trends and increase our available
market through innovative technology and manufacturing leadership," said Ed
Keible, Endwave's CEO and President. "Taking the year as a whole, demand for our
telecommunications products remained particularly strong as we posted the second
consecutive year of telecom revenue growth in excess of 30 percent. In the
defense and homeland security markets, we continue to build our presence and see
major opportunities for deploying our technologies into emerging programs and
applications."
2006 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
o Annual revenues were $62.2 million, 28% higher than 2005.
o Revenues attributable to customers in telecom markets were $52.3
million; revenues attributable to customers in defense electronics,
homeland security and other non-telecom markets were $9.9 million.
o For the year, GAAP gross margin was 29% and non-GAAP gross margin was
30%. Non-GAAP gross margin was adjusted for amortization of intangible
assets and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
o Endwave achieved the first full year of non-GAAP operating
profitability in Company history.
o Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2006 was $2.9 million, or $0.21 cents
per diluted share, representing more than a four-fold annual increase
in earnings per share compared to 2005.
o Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $45.2
million during 2006 as the Company raised $43 million through an
investment by Oak Partners and generated cash from operations.
o Endwave achieved significant revenue growth from each of its top-three
customers in 2006: Nera, Nokia, and Siemens.
FOURTH QUARTER 2006 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
o Endwave was selected by a major wireless telecom OEM to design
microwave radio transceivers for a new software defined radio
platform.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To supplement the Company's condensed 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.
