Advanced Energy Announces 2007 Second Quarter Financial Results

Fort Collins, Colo., July 25, 2007– Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq GM: AEIS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. Sales were $103.0 million for the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 1.5% from $104.6 million in the second quarter of 2006, and a sequential decline of 4.0% compared to $107.3 million in the first quarter of 2007.

Gross margin for the second quarter was 43.6%, up from 42.8% in the second quarter of 2006, and down from 45.0% in the first quarter of 2007 due to lower revenues, and the transition of manufacturing from Stolberg, Germany to China.

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $11.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, a 35.7% decrease compared to $18.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2006. This was primarily due to an increase in research and development spending and the change in the effective tax rate from 11% in 2006 to 35% in 2007. Net income also decreased 8.0% from $12.7 million, or $0.28 in the first quarter of 2007, due to lower revenues. The first quarter of 2007 included a restructuring charge of $2.8 million related to the closure of the Company’s Stolberg, Germany facility.

"Second quarter revenues came in at the low end of our guidance as we began to experience the impacts of a decline in our business as demand from the semiconductor capital equipment industry was lower than previously anticipated. As a result, earnings came in lower than expected and gross margins were lower due to the costs associated with the transition of production from Stolberg, Germany to China, which will be complete by the end of the year. We increased our R&D spending in the quarter which was driven by several strategic initiatives that are in process. However, we experienced strong growth from our non-semi business, which was up 11% sequentially, and dampened the effect of the down semi revenues for the quarter." said Dr. Hans Betz, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Energy. "As we look ahead, we remain highly confident in our growth strategy, including our current product pipeline, our excellent position in our markets and our future growth opportunities."

Third Quarter 2007 Guidance

The Company anticipates third quarter 2007 results to be within the following ranges:

• Sales of $95 million to $100 million.
• Earnings per share of $0.19 to $0.22.
