International Display Works Announces Record Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Financial Results

ROSEVILLE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- June 8, 2006 -- International DisplayWorks, Inc. (IDW) (NASDAQ:IDWK), a manufacturer and distributor of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), modules and assemblies, today announced financial results for the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2006 which ended on April 30, 2006.


First Quarter Highlights:

-- Total revenues were a record $27.2 million, representing a 20.3 percent increase over the comparable quarter of FY05.

-- This represents the IDW's 11th consecutive quarter of profitability.

-- The Company expanded and strengthened the management team by adding industry veterans Mr. Dwight D. Boliek as VP of Materials and Steve Gerisch as VP of Sales.

-- IDW successfully completed all factory qualifications for the Tier One cell phone customer.

"We delivered another record quarter from a revenue perspective, showing both sequential and year over year growth. We made two significant additions to our management team by retaining Dwight Boliek as VP of Materials and Steve Gerisch as VP of Sales. Both Dwight and Steve bring substantial procurement and sales expertise respectively, which we expect to benefit IDW as we implement initiatives to better position the Company for further growth," commented Tom Lacey, Chairman and CEO.

"Our sales pipeline remains solid and we believe the recent progress with our Tier 1 OEM handset customer serves as a validation of our state of the art manufacturing process, high yield output capabilities and overall product quality which we believe will collectively enable us to win additional business," Tom Lacey further commented.

Financial Results

"During the second quarter, we experienced solid revenue growth," commented Joe Bedewi, the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

The Company completed the second quarter with $61.4 million in cash and liquid investments as a result of the recently completed follow-on offering. During the quarter the Company used a portion of these proceeds to reduce debt by $12.9 million on its existing credit line.

"Our recently completed follow-on offering significantly strengthened our working capital position, which will enable us to support our current production ramps and future growth. Looking forward, our revenue guidance for the third fiscal quarter is $30 - $36 million," Mr. Bedewi went on to state.
