Richardson Reports Record Fiscal Third Quarter Sales and Gross Profit

LaFox, IL, Wednesday, April 11, 2007: Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL) announced today results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 3, 2007. Sales in the third quarter were $160.1 million, an increase of 5.3% from the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Gross profit improved 5.3% to $39.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with $37.1 million in the same quarter last year. Operating income was $5.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 versus $1.5 million in the prior year. Operating income included a gain of $2.5 million from the sale of real estate and a building in Geneva, Illinois. Excluding this gain, operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 more than doubled operating income in the same period last year.

SG&A expenses remained relatively flat for the comparable third quarter periods, while SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.4% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared with 23.3% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Other expense included a foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to a foreign exchange gain of $1.6 million in the prior year. The foreign exchange variance was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, primarily related to receivables due from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent company and denominated in foreign currencies.

Net income was $1.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, or $0.06 per diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of last fiscal year.

The RF, Wireless & Power Division (RFPD) continued to lead the sales growth with a 10.8% increase in sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 over the prior year. RFPD sales reached $89.2 million with strong global demand for infrastructure and power conversion products. Sales in the Electron Device Group increased 11.3% to $24.4 million primarily due to higher sales of semiconductor fabrication and tube products. Security Systems Division/Burtek Systems’ (SSD/Burtek) sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 grew 3.7% from the prior

year to $26.2 million due to growth in distribution products. Sales in the Display Systems Group were 16.8% lower for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 at $19.6 million due to a decrease in project business for custom displays, a less favorable market for medical monitors, and lower demand for cathode ray tubes as compared to last year.

On a geographic basis, sales in Europe increased 16.8% to $39.9 million as compared to last year, with strong demand for wireless, power, electron device, and security system products. Sales in Asia/Pacific were $40.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a 16.7% increase over the prior year, due to sales growth in wireless infrastructure and power conversion products. Sales in North America declined 1.2% to $74.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 due to lower demand for display system products, partially offset by increases in electron device and wireless products sales. Sales in Latin America decreased 12.6% to $5.1 million due to a decline in sales of wireless, electron device, and security systems products.

“Our continued market penetration in Asia/Pacific and Europe, strong focus on core competencies and engineered solutions in the wireless, power, and electron device industries, and the implementation of our restructuring plan will help us achieve our goal of improved operating performance,” said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “We will continue to evaluate the performance of each business unit, seeking to improve operational efficiencies and asset utilization to increase shareholder value.”

On April 6, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Honeywell International Inc. to sell certain assets and liabilities of the Company’s SSD/Burtek strategic business unit for $80 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. The sale is subject to regulatory review. The Company anticipates the completion of the sale to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 or the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Upon completion, the Company would report SSD/Burtek as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

As of March 3, 2007, the net assets of SSD/Burtek included in the sale were approximately $33 million. Based on the Company’s tax structure and its ability to use existing net operating loss carryforwards to offset any gain in the U.S., the Company does not expect to pay income taxes as a result of the sale. After transaction expenses, net proceeds from the sale are estimated to be $76 million. Upon closing, the Company expects to record a gain on sale of approximately $43 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down debt outstanding under its credit agreement.

“The resources of Honeywell combined with SSD/Burtek will offer our customers an expanded range of products and the finest solutions for their security requirements. SSD/Burtek has been a major contributor to the success of Richardson Electronics. We are extremely pleased with the future of the business as part of Honeywell,” said Edward J. Richardson.
