Ramtron Reports Second-Quarter 2007 Financial Results.

Second Quarter Net Income Increases 25% on 20% Higher Revenue

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq: RMTR), a leading developer and supplier of nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) and integrated semiconductor products, today reported total revenue of $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2007, 20% higher than the $10.3 million reported for the same quarter of 2006. Second quarter product revenue was $11.9 million, 20% higher than product revenue of $9.9 million reported for the same quarter last year.

Second-quarter net income was $248,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with net income of $198,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same quarter a year earlier. Included in the second quarter 2007 results are non-cash, stock-based compensation charges of $571,000. Without these charges, second-quarter net income would have been $819,000 or $0.03 per share. Product gross margin for the second quarter of 2007 was 53% compared with 51% for the second quarter of 2006.

"We executed to our plan strategically, operationally and financially in the second quarter," said Ramtron CEO Bill Staunton. "As new and existing customers come to recognize and further appreciate the solution value that Ramtron brings to their applications, we are continuing to deepen our presence in our target markets -metering, automotive, computing and industrial - and strengthen our leadership position in the broad commercialization of FRAM.

"Consistent with our planned shift toward feature rich FRAM products, we continued to drive processor companion product sales and brought six new integrated products to market, which included our first custom device. We improved product gross margin two percent over the same period last year due to improving yields and increased manufacturing efficiencies. All other expense categories were in line with our operating targets for 2007, resulting in 6.6% net income as a percent of total sales, before stock-based compensation expenses," Staunton added.

Second-Quarter Product Highlights:

* Integrated product revenue grew 33% to $1.6 million, or 13% of FRAM product revenue, during the second quarter of 2007, compared with $1.2 million, or 12% of FRAM revenue, for the second quarter of 2006.

* Ramtron introduced the FM33x product family - a new line of Ramtron FRAM-Enhanced[TM] Processor Companions with a high-speed serial peripheral interface (SPI). The FM33x family combines, in one small package, all the benefits of a nonvolatile RAM with a comprehensive set of highly integrated support and peripheral functions for processor-based designs.

* Ramtron launched the semiconductor industry's first nonvolatile state saver - a novel device that saves the state of signals on demand and restores them to the correct state automatically upon the restoration of power. Ramtron's FRAM technology uniquely enables this capability due to its fast write time and virtually unlimited write endurance.

* Ramtron expanded its line of Ramtron FRAM Grade 1 automotive memory products with the qualification of an additional serial FRAM device to operate at +125 degrees Celsius (C). The FM25CL64-GA - a 3-volt, 64-kilobit (Kb) FRAM with a high-speed serial peripheral interface (SPI) - is now Grade 1 AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications under the hood, as well as in the passenger cab.

* Ramtron launched the VRS51L3174, an 8051-based microcontroller with 8 kilobytes (KB) of nonvolatile Ramtron FRAM memory that drops into industry standard 44-pin QFP sockets for easy device migration.

"Based on our performance in the first half of this year, we remain on track to achieve our goals for 2007. For full-year 2007, we are still targeting year-over-year revenue growth of 20% to 25%, and 5.0% to 6.5% net income as a percent of total revenue before stock-based compensation expenses," Staunton added.
