NAUTILUS FIRST QUARTER NET INCOME GROWS BY 46 PERCENT

Company Raises Annual Revenue and Earnings Guidance Range

VANCOUVER, Wash. – (April 27, 2005) – Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE: NLS), a leading marketer, developer, and manufacturer of branded health and fitness products, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005, which included net income growth of 46 percent and sales growth of 19 percent from the same period a year ago.

First-quarter net sales were $156.4 million compared to $130.9 million for the corresponding period last year, up 20 percent. Net income for the quarter was $9.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, up from $6.4 million, or $0.19 per share. Included in net income for the first quarter 2005 is a one-time charge of $950,000 for a settlement with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The Company finished the quarter with cash and short term investments of $123.3 million, up from $104.6 million at year end. The Company has no debt.

“This quarter’s results are consistent with our consumer-based business strategy to drive growth while investing in our future,” said Gregg Hammann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “It also reflects our progress in becoming the global leader in fitness, as our diversified portfolio of brands and products are presented in more places where people shop and exercise.”

“Although we are early in our plan to expand our domestic and international presence, we are the only company in our category positioned across all channels and with a complete line of branded fitness products. Our fast pace of innovation is bringing new fitness tools to consumers, increasing awareness and demand for the benefits of fitness. All of our marketing now incorporates educational elements on fitness to help grow the overall fitness industry.”

For the second quarter of 2005, the Company estimates that earnings will grow by approximately 50 percent to $0.09 to $0.10 per diluted share, and net sales will grow 25 percent to approximately $125 to $130 million compared with the second quarter last year. The Company raised its full year 2005 earnings estimate to $1.17 to $1.19 on net sales growth of more than 15 percent. Because of the seasonal nature of fitness equipment sales, the Company expects more than two-thirds of its earnings to occur in the second half of the year.

The Company will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. EDT (2:00 p.m. PDT) April 27, 2005 to discuss first quarter 2005 financial results. It will be broadcast live over the Internet hosted at http://events.nautilus.com under “Investor Relations/Events Calendar” and will be archived online within one hour after completion of the call.
