WJ Communications Comments on Anticipated Second Quarter Revenues

San Jose, California June 26, 2003 - WJ Communications, Inc (NASDAQ-WJCI), a leading designer and supplier of high-performance RF semiconductors and multi-chip modules (MCM), today commented on anticipated revenues for its second quarter ended June 29, 2003.

Sales for the second quarter of 2003 are expected to be in the range of $5.2 to $5.4 million, which compares to $7.7 million for the immediately preceding quarter.

“We expect that the anticipated reduction in Q203 semiconductor sales is a temporary event and expect semiconductor IC sales in Q3 to resume growth relative to Q1 levels,” commented Michael Farese, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of WJ Communications. “Our anticipated second quarter sales results will reflect several factors. Consistent with our prior expectations, we are completing the sale of our thin film business announced on December 10, 2002, leading to a significant decrease in sequential and year-over-year revenues in that product line. Also, semiconductor sales especially through our distribution network were affected by overall softness in the wireless infrastructure market, particularly in Asia, where they were impacted by the outbreak of SARS and delays at a major telecom provider. Additionally, the anticipated volume production start of several infrastructure OEM programs have been pushed back to the third quarter.”

“Our direct sales to customers including major OEMs remain solid and we expect to end the second quarter with strong total order backlog,” Dr. Farese added. “Additionally, we will report continued new product introductions and a number of key design wins. These factors reflect our improving positioning in the marketplace. Moving forward, we believe that we will resume

semiconductor growth relative to Q103 levels as we increase sales from new product introductions and ship from our strong backlog.”

WJ Communications has $62.3 million in cash and short-term investments or $1.10 per share, as of March 30, 2003. On April 2, 2003, the Company announced a $2 million stock repurchase program that remains effective.

Dr. Farese concluded, “We have strong balance sheet and expect to end Q203 with more cash than we had at the end of the first quarter, 2003.”

WJ Communications will host a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss its quarterly results and third quarter guidance at 5:00 p.m. ET on July 22, 2003.
