EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Ultralife Batteries Updates Fourth Quarter Revenue Guidance NEWARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2007--Ultralife Batteries, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULBI) announced that, based on a preliminary review of results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, the company expects to report revenue of approximately $31 million. These results compare to management's previous guidance, which estimated revenue of approximately $35 million for the fourth quarter. The revenue shortfall is attributable to a delay in delivering two large planned shipments caused by logistical issues, which arose toward the end of the quarter. These deliveries are scheduled to be completed by January 12. Revenue associated with these orders will be additive to the company's planned revenue for the first quarter of 2007. "Growing sales volume at McDowell Research as a result of successful joint Ultralife and McDowell marketing initiatives, coupled with a ramp-up in McDowell's production, created temporary supply constraints on some key components late in the quarter and delayed shipments of two orders," said John D. Kavazanjian, Ultralife's president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter, as we rapidly expanded production capability at McDowell to record levels, we worked closely with vendors to keep pace with delivery schedules. A missed commitment from vendors on two key components, one on each order, resulted in these delivery delays. We have taken steps to alleviate this bottleneck and expect that the integration of Ultralife's and McDowell's supply chains will minimize disruptions like this going forward, ensuring that we are operationally ready to meet an expanding set of market opportunities and support aggressive growth goals." Management will provide details about Ultralife's fourth quarter performance and the outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 when it reports fourth quarter results on February 15, 2007.
