3-month report

Key financial data for the first quarter of 2007

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (April 23, 2007) - austriamicrosystems
(SWX: AMS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of analog ICs
for communications, industrial, medical and automotive applications,
showed a positive development in revenues and good profitability in
the first quarter 2007 given broad-based demand for its analog
semiconductor solutions.

Consolidated group revenues grew slightly to EUR 39.4 million from
EUR 38.8 million in the first quarter 2006. Gross margin for the
first quarter remained strong at 49% compared to 45% in the same
period last year. Due to anticipated higher R&D expenses for the
development of future product platforms, the result from operations
(EBIT) for the first quarter reached EUR 3.7 million, compared to EUR
4.3 million for the same quarter 2006.

Net result for the first quarter was EUR 3.5 million, compared to EUR
3.9 million in the same period 2006. Earnings per share for the first
quarter 2007 were CHF 0.53 / EUR 0.32, compared to CHF 0.56 / EUR
0.36 in the same period 2006. Total backlog (excluding consignment
agreements) reached EUR 54.2 million on March 31, 2007 compared to
EUR 58.3 million on March 31, 2006.

The first quarter 2007 results reflect effects from seasonality and
the ongoing phase-out of a legacy communications customer while
austriamicrosystems prepares for significant ramp-up activity with a
number of high-volume products and customers in the second half of
2007.

In the first quarter, austriamicrosystems' Communications, Industry &
Medical, and Automotive business units continued to be successful in
their target markets power management, sensors and sensor interfaces,
mobile entertainment and car access, delivering high performance
analog ICs to a growing worldwide customer base including major
global OEMs.

Strong design activities continued particularly around
austriamicrosystems' lighting management products which offer
significant technological advantages over the competition. In the
last quarter, the first of a range of new handset models by
SonyEricsson which are powered by austriamicrosystems' lighting
technology became available in stores while a second model was
announced to the public. In addition, austriamicrosystems gained
important design-wins at two major LCD display manufacturers for its
industry-leading backlighting solutions, leveraging its LED driver
technology. The corresponding large-size PC display and TV products
are expected to become available later this year.

austriamicrosystems' Industry & Medical and Automotive business units
also continued to see good demand for their products. Taking a key
step on its process technology roadmap, austriamicrosystems recently
announced a significant development and licensing partnership with
IBM for a high-voltage 0.18µm process which includes licensing of its
high-voltage process technology.

Looking forward, austriamicrosystems expects its business to develop
positively over the course of the current year with growth in
revenues and earnings. Based on available information,
austriamicrosystems reiterates its anticipation of double-digit full
year revenue growth for 2007 compared to last year, accompanied by
substantial growth in earnings.
