SYRACUSE, N.Y., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anaren, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ANEN) today reported record net sales for the third quarter
ended March 31, 2007 of $32.6 million, up 22% from the third
quarter of fiscal year 2006. (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021022/NYTU197LOGO ) Net
income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $4.1 million, or
$0.23 per diluted share, up 26% from $3.3 million, or $0.19 per
diluted share for the third quarter of last year. Net income for
the quarter included $0.04 per diluted share in stock based
compensation expense. Excluding stock based compensation expense,
net income for the third quarter was $4.8 million, or $0.27 per
diluted share. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 was 26.4%, compared to 22.9% for the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 as a result of the on- going phase out of the federal
extraterritorial tax credit and the current increasing level of
income. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was
$4.7 million, or 14.4% of net sales, up 34% from the third quarter
of last year. Operating income for the quarter included $850,000 of
stock based compensation expense. Excluding stock based
compensation expense, operating income for the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 was $5.6 million, or 17.0% of net sales. Lawrence A.
Sala, Anaren's President and CEO said, "The growth in net sales for
the quarter was driven by the Space & Defense Group due to
continued production of components for a counter-improvised
explosive device (IED) application as well as growth in our
Wireless Group as a result of improved demand across our wireless
infrastructure customers." Mr. Sala added, "Increased production of
a new custom assembly product along with increased penetration of
key Asian OEMs also had a positive impact on Wireless Group net
sales for the quarter." For the nine months ended March 31, 2007,
net sales were $93.1 million, up 22% from the first nine months of
fiscal 2006. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal
2007 was $13.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, up 62% from the
first nine months of last year. Operating income for the first nine
months of fiscal 2007 included $2.5 million in stock based
compensation expense. Operating income before stock based
compensation expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was
16.7% of net sales. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal
2007 was $11.9 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, including $0.12
per diluted share in stock based compensation expense. This
compares to net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 of
$7.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, which included $2.6
million, or $0.14 per diluted share in stock based compensation
expense. Balance Sheet During the third quarter, the Company
generated $3.3 million in cash from operations and used $12.1
million to repurchase 716,774 shares of its common stock.
Expenditures for capital additions in the third quarter were $3.2
million driven primarily by the building expansion at the Company's
East Syracuse, New York manufacturing facility and capital
equipment purchases for the Company's new LTCC manufacturing
capability. Funds required for stock repurchases and capital
expenditures in excess of funds generated by operations came from
maturities of the Company's investments. Cash, cash equivalents and
marketable debt securities at March 31, 2007 were $79.4 million.
Wireless Group Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were $17.8
million, up 11.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Demand
increased from second quarter levels across all wireless
infrastructure product lines. Sales of consumer component products
were $0.9 million for the quarter, up 48% from the third quarter of
last year. A shift in product mix at our direct broadcast satellite
customers has reduced demand for our balun products. Wireless
infrastructure related product development activity remains focused
on expanding the ferrite component and custom assembly product
lines. During the quarter the Group began volume production of a
new custom assembly product, captured a design win for a new
ferrite based custom assembly and began sampling a new low cost,
high performance, ferrite component product for base station
amplifier applications. "Though visibility remains limited,
wireless infrastructure demand improved throughout the quarter and
we are pleased with the pace of our new product development
activities," said Mr. Sala. Customers that generated greater than
10% of Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were Motorola, Inc.
and Nokia Corp. Space & Defense Group Space & Defense Group
net sales for the quarter were $14.8 million, up 38% from the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 due largely to production of components for
a counter-IED application. New orders for the quarter totaled $5.3
million and included initial funding under the previously announced
Globalstar II antenna beamforming contract. The relatively low
order level for the quarter was the result of timing and we
continue to see numerous new Space & Defense opportunities.
Space & Defense backlog at March 31, 2007 was $41.2 million.
Non-GAAP Measurements Non-GAAP results, which are a supplement to
financial results based on GAAP, exclude charges for stock based
compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information to both management and
investors to help understand and compare business trends among
reporting periods on a consistent basis. Additionally, these
non-GAAP financial measurements are one of the primary indicators
management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The
presentation of this additional information should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. Outlook For the fourth quarter, we expect comparable
demand for wireless infrastructure and consumer component products
and a decrease in sales for the Space & Defense segment as a
result of the anticipated decline in sales of counter-IED related
components. As a result, we expect net sales to be in the range of
$28.0 - $31.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. With
an anticipated tax rate of approximately 26% and an expected stock
based compensation expense of approximately $0.04 per diluted
share, we expect net earnings per diluted share to be in the range
of $0.16 - $0.21 for the fourth quarter. Forward-Looking Statements

Profit, Operating Income, and Net Income Excluding Stock Based
Compensation Expense The following table reconciles the Company's
net income, gross profit, operating income and earnings per share
as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP) with those financial measures as adjusted for
stock based compensation expense and presented in the accompanying
news release and associated teleconference. These calculations are
not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as
alternatives to GAAP. In keeping with its historical financial
reporting practices, the Company believes that the supplemental
presentation of these calculations provides meaningful non-GAAP
financial measures to help investors understand and compare
business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent
basis, independent of this reported non-cash charge. Readers are
cautioned not to view non-GAAP results presented in the table as an
alternative to GAAP results or as being comparable to results
reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the
reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results for the third
quarters and first nine months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Mar. 31, Mar.
