     RACINE, WISCONSIN—April 24, 2007—Twin Disc, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWIN), today reported record financial results for the fiscal 2007 third quarter ended March 31, 2007. Sales, net earnings, and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2007 third quarter represented the best quarter in the Company’s history.

     Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 improved 34.7 percent to $86,405,000 from $64,125,000 in the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, sales increased 32.6 percent to $226,418,000 from $170,753,000 in the fiscal 2006 nine-month period. The BCS Group acquisition contributed $7,305,000 to net sales in the fiscal 2007 third quarter and $22,002,000 to year-to-date sales. Sales continue to benefit from strong demand across all the markets the Company serves, especially from its oil and military customers.

     Gross profit, as a percentage of 2007 third-quarter sales, increased 1.6 percentage points to 32.6 percent from 31.0 percent in the fiscal 2006 third quarter and gross profit, as a percentage of year-to-date sales, increased 2.7 percentage points to 32.2 percent from 29.5 percent in the same period last fiscal year. Profitability continues to improve from higher sales volumes, the implementation of cost reduction programs, manufacturing efficiencies, a better product mix, and selective price increases.

     Net earnings for the third quarter increased 96.6 percent, or by $3,690,000 to $7,509,000, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with $3,819,000, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2006 third quarter. Year-to-date, earnings increased 91.6 percent to $16,851,000, or $2.86 per diluted share from $8,793,000, or $1.49 per diluted share.

     For the fiscal 2007 third-quarter and nine-month period, the recently acquired BCS Group companies continue to meet expectations and added $0.06 and $0.16, respectively, to diluted earnings per share. There was no unfavorable non-cash purchase accounting adjustment to inventory made in

the fiscal 2007 third quarter, as in this year’s prior quarters; however, year-to-date, $1,223,000 before tax has been adjusted. There is no further adjustment anticipated for the fourth quarter.

     Commenting on the results, Michael E. Batten, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are delighted with our financial results for fiscal 2007 and our outlook for fiscal 2008. With one quarter remaining, fiscal 2007 should produce the highest financial results in the Company’s history, as our nine-month earnings are higher than they were for all of fiscal 2006. The fiscal 2007 third quarter represents the 13^th consecutive quarter of year-over-year quarterly increases in sales and the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year quarterly increases in gross margin, as a percentage of sales, and net earnings.”

     Christopher J. Eperjesy, Vice President - Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, stated, “Our balance sheet remains stable. Inventories increased 25.7 percent to $81,794,000 at March 31, 2007, as a result of our strong incoming orders and six-month backlog. Total debt increased to $55,178,000, and represented 33.7 percent of total capital at the end of the quarter. Debt was used to cover the increased inventories, higher accounts receivables and the $11,208,000 we have spent so far this year for capital expenditures. We have increased our capital expenditure budget for fiscal 2007 to expand our operations, as we are working nonstop to deliver high-quality, highly-engineered products on time. Working capital for the period ended March 31, 2007 increased 29.8 percent to $92,808,000, compared to $71,510,000 at June 30, 2006. Shareholders’ equity was $108,662,000 at March 31, 2007, compared to $89,233,000 at June 30, 2006.”

     Mr. Batten concluded, “With our six-month backlog at a record $118,397,000 (which includes backlog of $8,182,000 from BCS), the preliminary outlook for fiscal 2008 is encouraging. The six-month backlog (excluding backlog from BCS) was $91,598,000 at fiscal 2006 year end and $88,500,000 at March 31, 2006. The industrial cycle that began in earnest in 2004 remains strong. We continue to see positive trends in the markets we serve and remain optimistic about our future.”
