FRANKLIN PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Del Global Technologies Corp. (DGTC) ("Del
Global" or "the Company") today announced operating results for its fiscal 2006
fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 29, 2006, as well as summary balance
sheet data (see attached tables).

FISCAL 2006 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

         Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 rose 16.3%
to $24.0 million from $20.6 million in the same period last year. Sales at the
Medical Systems Group increased 21.7% to $20.9 million from $17.1 million in the
same period one year ago due to higher international sales, which offset lower
U.S. sales. As previously announced, U.S. sales have been impacted by
consolidation and subsequent reorganization of two national medical
distributors; each distributor was a pre-consolidation customer of Del Global.
The Medical Systems Group sales team is addressing the impact of this
consolidation through a variety of measures, including focusing on national and
regional purchasing agreements in the U.S and through increased international
marketing efforts. Fiscal 2006 fourth quarter sales at the Power Conversion
Business ("RFI") decreased to $3.1 million from $3.5 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2005 due to decreased demands from an OEM customer.

         Consolidated gross margin declined to 24.6% in the fiscal 2006 fourth
quarter from 28.9% in same period last year. While gross margin at the Medical
Systems Group improved to 22.0% from 21.6%, gross margin at RFI declined to
42.5% from 65.0% in the same period one year ago due to reduced volume.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2006 declined to $3.5 million, or 14.8% of sales, from $3.9
million, or 18.9% of sales, in the same period last year. This decline was
attributable to reduced legal, accounting and corporate expenses, and RFI's
success at maintaining a lower selling cost structure.

         Consolidated operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006
improved by $0.1 million to $1.7 million from the same period one year ago.
Operating income at the Medical Systems Group improved 26% to $1.5 million from
$1.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. This offset a decline in
operating income at RFI, which posted operating income of $0.8 million from $1.4
million in the comparable prior year period. Corporate costs declined to $0.5
million from $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.




         The Company did not provide for a U.S. domestic income tax benefit in
the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter due to its domestic net operating loss carry
forwards. The tax provision recorded is related to the income of Villa, Del
Global's Italian subsidiary.

         Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was $0.7 million, or
$0.06 per diluted share on approximately 12.2 million weighted average common
shares outstanding, from $0.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share on
approximately 11.5 million weighted average common shares outstanding, in the
same period last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 included
a loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.

FISCAL 2006 OVERVIEW

         Consolidated net sales declined to $83.0 million for fiscal year 2006
from $84.9 million in fiscal 2005. Sales at the Medical Systems Group declined
to $70.3 million from $70.8 million last year, as higher international sales
were offset by lower domestic sales. Of note, international sales in fiscal 2005
included shipments of $8.8 million under an international Romanian tender order;
no such sales were recorded in fiscal 2006. Sales at RFI decreased to $12.7
million from $14.1 million in fiscal 2005. Sales at RFI were impacted by
catch-ups of late orders from fiscal 2004 during fiscal 2005, and decreased
demands from an OEM customer in fiscal 2006 due to a planned move of this
production to a customer owned facility.

         Consolidated gross margin was 23.3% in fiscal 2006 as compared to 26.3%
in fiscal 2005. Lower sales at RFI resulted in a gross margin of 35.5% in fiscal
2006 as compared to 41.0% in fiscal 2005. At the Medical Systems Group, fiscal
2006 gross margins declined to 21.1% from 23.3% in the prior year due to lower
domestic and international sales resulting from the effect of product mix and
pricing pressure.

         SG&A for fiscal 2006 declined to $13.6 million, or 16.4% of sales, from
$16.5 million, or 19.4% of sales, last year. The decrease was the result of
reduced corporate legal and accounting costs, reduced selling costs at both RFI
and the Medical Systems Group, as well as higher costs in fiscal 2005 related to
a review of strategic alternatives.

         Fiscal 2006 operating income was $3.5 million as compared to operating
income of $3.9 million in fiscal 2005. The Medical Systems Group generated an
operating profit of $3.6 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to an operating
profit of $5.6 million in fiscal 2005, and RFI achieved an operating profit of
$2.4 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to an operating profit of $2.8 million
in fiscal 2005. Unallocated corporate costs declined to $2.5 million in fiscal
2006 from $4.6 million last year. Operating income in fiscal 2006 included $0.5
million of costs related primarily to the previously disclosed settlement of
litigation filed during fiscal 2005 by the potential buyers of the Medical
Systems Group. Litigation settlement costs were $0.3 million in fiscal 2005.

         The Company has not provided for a U.S. domestic income tax benefit in
fiscal 2006 due to its domestic net operating loss carry forwards. The tax
provisions recorded are related to the profits of Villa, Del Global's Italian
subsidiary.




         Net income for fiscal 2006 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share
on approximately 12.1 million weighted average common shares outstanding, as
compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share on
approximately 11.5 million weighted average common shares outstanding, last
year. Net income for fiscal 2006 included a loss from discontinued operations of
$0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Net income for fiscal 2005 included a
gain from discontinued operations of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

BACKLOG

         Consolidated backlog at July 29, 2006 rose 53.4% to approximately $22.4
million from approximately $14.6 million at July 30, 2005. Backlog at RFI
increased $0.2 million from levels at the beginning of the fiscal year, and
there was a $7.5 million increase in the backlog at the Medical Systems Group
reflecting domestic increases of $0.9 million and international increases of
$7.4 million due to higher bookings during the fiscal 2006 period. Substantially
all of the backlog should result in shipments within the next twelve months.

COMMENTS

         James A. Risher, Del Global's President and Chief Executive Officer
commented, "Del Global Technologies has identified several business challenges
during the last year and is developing plans for future growth. The Company's
Medical Systems Group operates in a number of growing markets. The management
team's challenge in 2007 is to better position the business for the transition
from analog products to digital systems with sufficient value added content to
grow operating margins. We will be in a better position to share our vision with
you later this year. The Company's RFI business continues to serve a niche
market for highly engineered power supply components."

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Del Global's balance sheet at July 29, 2006 reflected working capital
of $6.9 million, shareholders' equity of $12.8 million, and a net book value of
$1.10 per share. As of July 29, 2006, Del Global had approximately $1.0 million
of excess borrowing availability under its domestic revolving credit facility
compared to $0.5 million at July 30, 2005. In addition, as of July 29, 2006, Del
Global's Villa subsidiary had an aggregate of approximately $4.4 million of
excess borrowing availability under its various short-term credit facilities.
Terms of the Italian credit facilities do not permit the use of borrowing
availability to directly finance operating activities at Del Global's U.S.
subsidiaries.
