FOR RELEASE: Immediately

CTS Updates Status on 2006 Earnings Release

Reduces Full Year Earnings Expectations

Elkhart, IN…CTS Corporation (NYSE: CTS) today announced it is continuing its investigation of the accounting issues identified while reconciling accounts related to payables and inventory at one of its EMS manufacturing locations. These issues were discussed on January 30, 2007 when the fourth quarter earnings release was postponed. As previously reported, CTS expects its revenues in the fourth quarter to be $173.6 million, a 12% increase year-over-year, with full year revenues at $655.7 million, representing a 6% increase over 2005.

At this time, the Company has preliminary indications that full year 2006 diluted earnings per share will be in the range of $0.58 to $0.62. Excluding the $0.08 per diluted share impact of consolidating the Berne, Indiana operation, the 2006 adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $0.66 to $0.70, compared to the previous estimate of $0.74 to $0.77.

Earnings were negatively affected by lower margins in our EMS business and the impact of incorrect accounting entries at the EMS manufacturing location. These issues may affect multiple quarters in 2006 and, as a result, management has determined that the Company’s financial statements for the first three quarters of 2006 should not be relied upon.

The Company and the Audit Committee are engaging independent legal counsel and independent forensic accountants to investigate the matter and, in addition, are working with the Company’s external auditors to resolve these accounting issues.

In spite of these issues, the Company believes it is still on track to deliver improved sales and earnings in 2007. Full year 2007 sales are expected to increase 7% to 10% over 2006, with 2007 diluted earnings per share now projected to be in the range of $0.76 to $0.80.

The Company expects to announce its 2006 results as soon as practicable after the completion of the investigation and the external audit and will issue a future announcement to set the date for the new earnings release and conference call.

CTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The following table reconciles projected earnings per share, diluted to adjusted projected earnings
per share, diluted for the Company:
	Projected
	Twelve Months Ended
	December 31,
	2006
Earnings per share, diluted	$ 0.58 - $ 0.62
Tax affected charges to reported diluted
earnings per share:
Restructuring and related charges	0.08
Adjusted earnings per share, diluted	$ 0.66 - $ 0.70
Projected adjusted earnings per share, diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is projected earnings per share, diluted. CTS calculates full year projected adjusted
earnings per share, diluted to exclude the per share impact of restructuring and related charges. We exclude
the impact of this item because it is a discrete event which has a significant impact on comparable
GAAP financial measures and could distort an evaluation of our normal operating performance. CTS used
adjusted earnings per share, diluted measures to evaluate overall performance, establish plans and perform
strategic analysis. Using adjusted earnings per share, diluted measures avoids distortion in the evaluation
of operating results by eliminating the impact of events which are not related to normal operating performance.
Because adjusted earnings per share, diluted measures are based on the exclusion of specific items,
they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies which have similar titles. CTS'
management compensates for this limitation when performing peer comparisons by evaluating both GAAP
and non-GAAP financial measures reported by peer companies. CTS believes that adjusted earnings per
share, diluted measures are useful to its management, investors and stakeholders in that they:
- provide a truer measure of CTS' operating performance,
- reflect the results used by management in making decisions about the business, and
- help review and project CTS' performance over time.
We recommend that investors consider both actual and projected adjusted earnings per share, diluted
measures in evaluating the performance of CTS with peer companies.
