Tektronix Reports Results for the
Fourth Quarter and Full Year of Fiscal 2007
Sales for Fiscal Year Top $1.1B
BEAVERTON, Ore., Jun. 21, 2007 — Tektronix, Inc. (NYSE: TEK) today reported net sales of $298.5 million and net earnings from continuing operations of $28.0 million or $0.35 per share for the fourth quarter ended May 26, 2007. This compares with net sales of $289.3 million and net earnings from continuing operations of $31.9 million or $0.37 per share for the same period last year. Excluding acquisition-related costs, business realignment costs, share-based compensation, and one-time items, non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations were $35.6 million or $0.45 per share for the fourth quarter as compared with $36.4 million or $0.43 per share for the same period last year.
“Sales were up 3% over last year and were our highest in six years. Gross margins were strong and drove our best earnings per share this year,” said Rick Wills, Tektronix Chairman and CEO. “Orders were down 7% impacted by a very difficult comparison to last year’s fourth quarter.”
Instruments business orders were up 3% and sales were up 10% from last year. Orders were strong in all geographies except Japan which declined in the quarter. “Orders were especially good in our two newer product categories — signal sources, where we successfully launched our new AWG5000 and in spectrum analyzers where demand continues to be exceptionally strong,” continued Wills.
Orders in the Communications business were down 26% year-over-year although they improved 17% sequentially. “Orders were again impacted by continued weakness in the overall market and by a difficult comparison to this quarter last year where we had several large strategic network management wins,” commented Wills. Sales were down 17% over last year on lower orders and a sequential increase in backlog.

“This was another great quarter for new products in the Instruments business with the introduction of the MSO4000, a new family of mixed signal oscilloscopes which represents an expansion of our leading oscilloscope offering and sets a new performance benchmark for this class of product. In addition, we introduced the AWG5000 — an extension of our recently introduced arbitrary waveform generator platform that uniquely addresses digital RF technologies,” said Wills. “In the Communications business, we expanded our VoIP monitoring solution to offer active test capability and the ability for service providers and cable companies to extend VoIP management services to their enterprise customers. In addition, we continued to execute our strategy with the addition of several new customers.”
Full Year Results
For the fiscal year ended May 26, 2007, Tektronix reported net sales of $1.105 billion and net earnings from continuing operations of $87.3 million or $1.07 per share. This compares with net sales of $1.040 billion and net earnings from continuing operations of $90.9 million or $1.08 per share for the prior fiscal year. Excluding acquisition-related costs, business realignment costs, share-based compensation, and one-time items, non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations were $124.9 million or $1.53 per share for the fiscal year, as compared with $114.6 million or $1.36 per share for the prior fiscal year.
“This was a strong year for Tektronix in many ways. Our orders and sales were the highest in six years. Excluding share-based compensation, we saw very good earnings per share growth in fiscal 2007,” said Wills. “Orders in our Instruments business were especially strong driven by our general purpose test products which grew over 15% year-over-year, and we introduced an unprecedented number of major products. In our Communications business, we grew sales 4% in a difficult market environment and continued to deliver market-leading solutions. Overall, we continued to take market share in virtually all of our product categories according to preliminary external market data.”
“Looking forward, we believe we have the strongest portfolio of products in our history and a pipeline of future products that will continue to build our product leadership position. In spite of continuing challenges in the communications market we are also encouraged by the continued success we are having with communications customers and the market-leading solutions we offer to support the technology transition to next-generation, converged networks. And, we have a balanced focus on growth and on delivering value to our shareholders as we continue to execute on our proven business strategy,” concluded Wills.
First Quarter Guidance
For the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the company expects net sales to be approximately $280-$290 million. Earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be between $0.36

Tektronix will be discussing its fourth quarter results and future guidance on a conference call today, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Pacific. A live Webcast of the conference call will be available at www.tektronix.com/ir. A replay of the Webcast will be available at the same Web site for one year.
Tektronix presents non-GAAP measures of net earnings and net earnings per share from continuing operations that exclude the effects of acquisition-related costs, business realignment costs, share-based compensation and one-time items. The “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results” reconciles net earnings in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to the non-GAAP net earnings. Tektronix presents non-GAAP net earnings to help readers differentiate the results of ongoing activity from results that include acquisition-related costs, business realignment costs, share-based compensation and one-time items. Some of these items pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not possible to ascertain with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP for projected amounts is provided. In addition, in line with common industry practice and in order to enable comparability with other technology companies, guidance for non-GAAP net earnings excludes the effects of share-based compensation under FAS123R. Management of Tektronix uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s results of operations and for forecasting purposes, as well as to compensate employees.
Statements and information in this press release that relate to future events or results (including the Company’s statements and expectations regarding sales and earnings per share, markets, market position and market growth opportunities, strategic direction and the introduction of new products) are based on the Company’s current expectations. They constitute forward-looking statements subject to a number of risk factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. Those factors include: worldwide geopolitical and economic conditions; current and future business conditions in the electronics, communications, computer and advanced technologies industries; changes in order rates and customer cancellations, including changes in seasonal buying habits and timing of large orders; competitive factors, including pricing pressures, loss of key employees, technological developments and new products offered by competitors; changes in product and sales mix, and the related effects on gross margins; customer acceptance of large orders with delayed acceptance criteria; the Company’s ability to deliver a timely flow of competitive new products, and market acceptance of these products; risks related to the implementation of an upgrade to our information technology systems; the availability of parts and supplies from third-party suppliers on a timely basis and at reasonable prices; risks associated with compliance with the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” worldwide regulatory provisions, including the associated conversion of current and future product designs and manufacturing processes to procure or produce lead-free products, and with export regulations; inventory risks due to changes in market demand or the Company’s business strategies; changes in effective tax rates; currency fluctuations; and the ability to develop effective sales channels. Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is included in filings made by the
