Unaudited key financial data for fiscal year 2007

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (January 10, 2008) — austriamicrosystems
(SWX: AMS), a leading worldwide designer and manufacturer of high
performance analog ICs for communications, industry & medical and
automotive applications, expects revenues for fiscal year 2007 of EUR
193.9 million based on unaudited information, slightly below the
previous fiscal year´s revenues of EUR 196.4 million and below
previous company guidance. This unfavorable development is mainly due
to mobile entertainment revenues from Asian customers expected in the
fourth quarter 2007 which were not realized as anticipated and the
impact of the continuing unfavorable EUR/USD exchange rate
environment within the fourth quarter 2007. Unaudited revenues grew
by more than 16% quarter-on-quarter from the third to the fourth
quarter 2007.

Despite the lower full year revenues, the preliminary unaudited gross
margin for fiscal year 2007 increased by more than two percentage
points to over 50%, up from 48% for fiscal year 2006. Given this
revenue impact and based on preliminary unaudited information,
austriamicrosystems expects the result from operations or EBIT for
fiscal year 2007 to be approximately 10 % below previous company
guidance.

Notwithstanding these developments, austriamicrosystems is convinced
that its strategic positioning in its target markets is excellent and
fully supported by key OEM relationships. austriamicrosystems
therefore expects 2008 to be a successful year with substantial
growth in revenues and earnings.

Fully audited financial figures for the fourth quarter and fiscal
year 2007 will be available on February 19, 2008 as previously
announced.
