Ultralife Receives $40 Million Follow-On Order to Supply Advanced Military Communications Systems
Company Offers Preliminary Fiscal 2008 Revenue Estimate
Newark, New York December 26, 2007 Ultralife Batteries, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULBI) has received
an order worth approximately $40 million from a U.S. defense contractor to supply advanced
communications systems. This order is a follow-on to the $62 million order the company announced on
December 17. Deliveries are expected to occur during 2008 with delivery schedules to be agreed upon
between Ultralife and the customer during the year. For customer confidentiality reasons, Ultralife
is not able to disclose either the customers name or details about this order.
We are pleased by this customers recognition of Ultralifes engineering capabilities in awarding
us a total of over $100 million worth of orders for advanced communications systems, said John D.
Kavazanjian, Ultralifes president and chief executive officer. This order also attests to our
success in designing advanced integrated communications systems in collaboration with a customer,
in keeping with our strategy of forging durable partnerships with our customers to design power
solutions and communications systems that meet their application requirements.
Taking into consideration our estimate of incremental revenue from this order and the contribution
from Stationary Power Services and Innovative Solutions Consulting two businesses which we
recently acquired in addition to our quarterly revenue run rate on existing business and outlook
for future demand, we estimate revenue in 2008 will reach at least $230 million, added Mr.
Kavazanjian. As we move through the year, we would expect to have greater visibility on our full
year estimate and plan to provide detailed guidance for the first quarter of 2008 on the fourth
quarter 2007 earnings conference call.
