DDI CORP. COMMENTS ON REVISED THIRD QUARTER 2004 OUTLOOK

ANAHEIM, CA, October 12, 2004 — DDi Corp. (Nasdaq: DDIC), a leading provider of technologically advanced engineering and manufacturing services, today commented on its revised outlook for the third quarter ended September 30, 2004. Based on information currently available, the Company believes that third quarter revenue will come in below its original expectations, which were for net sales of $75 million to $78 million. For the third quarter, the Company now expects to report net sales in the $72 million to $73 million range, down from $75.5 million for the second quarter 2004.

“The sequential decline expected in our third quarter revenue is largely the result of softness in the North American PCB market,” said Chief Executive Officer Bruce McMaster. “For quick-turn orders — those with lead-times of 10 or fewer days — average pricing was relatively flat, but unit volume fell from the preceding quarter. For longer-lead orders, average pricing and unit volume both declined. Order volume has shown a modest improvement through the first part of October.”

McMaster continued, “Due to our centralized work allocation system, which we have been developing over the past year, we are able to align the type of orders that we receive with the DDi facilities best suited for that type of work and to make appropriate adjustments to our workforce. Recently, the Company took steps to reallocate orders among its facilities. In connection with that reallocation of orders and the Company’s expectations regarding near-term order demand, the Company announced a workforce reduction of up to 175 employees at its Milpitas manufacturing facility, partially offset by the expected addition of a small number of employees across the Company’s other facilities. Details of these actions were announced on October 8, 2004.”

Due to the shortfall in revenues discussed above and to the impact of the significant fixed costs in our business, the Company expects that it will report an adjusted net loss (including the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 implementation costs) of between $(0.08) and $(0.10) per diluted share, as compared to an original expectation of adjusted net income ranging from $0.04 and $0.07 per diluted share.

McMaster concluded, “We believe that the operational improvements we have taken will significantly improve our cost structure and financial performance. By taking a measured, yet timely, response to the market changes, we feel that we are retaining the capacity and capabilities that will be needed to take advantage of opportunities resulting from a return of growth in the market. We view the weakness in demand in the latter part of the third quarter as a temporary correction in the larger recovery cycle of the North American PCB market.”

DDi expects to announce final third quarter 2004 results on October 27, 2004, at which time guidance for the fourth quarter of 2004 will be provided.
