PSi TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

Manila, Philippines – November 7, 2007 – PSi Technologies Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: PSIT), a leading independent provider of assembly and test services for the power semiconductor market, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007:

Third Quarter Financial Results

The third quarter revenue totaled $22.5 million, relatively unchanged compared to $22.7 million in the previous quarter, and a decline of 6.4% compared to the same quarter in 2006.

The company continues to experience the softness in the power semiconductors market as a result of inventory adjustments. In particular, the third quarter volume of the package used in appliances has significantly dropped compared to the previous quarter.

The top five customers for the third quarter of 2007(in alphabetical order) were Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, ON Semiconductors, Power Integrations, and ST Microelectronics. The products assembled and tested for these customers are used in various end user applications, such as, automotive systems, consumer electronics, communications equipment, industrial applications, home appliances and PC motherboards. As in the prior quarter, PSi continues to focus on developing strategic partnerships with new customers, particularly for its new package family of Power QFN.

The cost of sales improved from $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $18.2 million in the third quarter, largely due to the cost reduction programs covering raw materials usage and efficiency in manpower management leading to productivity gains. Furthermore, the company realized the benefit of its efforts to move its product portfolio towards higher contribution packages. As a result, gross profit increased by 42.1% from $0.8 million in the second quarter to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2007.

Net other expenses for the third quarter improved to $0.9 million from $1.3 million during the previous quarter. This reduction in net other expenses is attributable to lower foreign exchange losses resulting from the slowdown on the rate of appreciation of the Philippine currency against the U.S. dollar in the third quarter as compared to previous quarter and lower interest and bank charges, partly offset by additional legal fees resulting from the closure of China operations.

Overall, the improvement in gross profit by 42.1% and reduction of net other expenses by 29% for the third quarter resulted to an improvement in net loss by 20.9% and a 18.6% increase in EBITDA, compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Third Quarter 2007 Results

 

Year To Date Financial Results

Sales revenue for the first nine months of 2007 was $69.9 million, representing an increase of 8.0% over sales revenue of $64.7 million for the same period last year. 2006 results exclude sales revenue of $2.2 million generated by the now-closed China operations.

Through the first nine months of 2007, the continued appreciation of the Philippine currency against the U.S. dollar and the increase in copper prices in the first nine months of 2007 as against the same period of 2006 has negatively affected gross profit and EBITDA. Comparing the same periods of 2007 and 2006, the Philippine peso, on the average, has appreciated by 9%. The copper prices have increased by an average of 30%, from $5.3/kg to $6.89/kg, for the first nine months of 2006 and 2007, respectively. The impact of these external factors was partly reduced through management focus on, and execution of, cost reduction initiatives and productivity improvement programs across the two assembly and test sites. Moreover, the company was able to obtain agreements with its major customers that enabled the company to pass through increased copper prices to customers beginning in the latter part of third quarter 2007.

With the appreciation of the Philippine peso and the increase in copper prices offset by the cost initiatives, productivity programs and the copper price pass-through, gross profit for the first nine months of 2007 was $3.3 million, down from $4.1 million in the same period of 2006. Similarly, EBITDA was down from $8.3 million to $6.4 million, for the first nine months of 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Third quarter 2007 ending cash balance improved by 80%, from $3.3 million in December 2006 to $5.9 million in September 2007. The net increase in cash can be largely attributed to improved collections and a prepayment from a customer, offset by reduction in liabilities and acquisition of machineries.

New acquisitions in property, plant and equipment totaled $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2007. These expenditures are mostly related to the purchase of machineries and equipment to improve capacity and support ramp up for new products.

Total current liabilities decreased by $5.5 million, from $37.8 million in December 2006 to $32.3 million in September 2007, mainly due to payment of trade and capital liabilities. The prepayment from a customer, $1.3 million as of September 2007, effectively booked the production line for current and future loadings

Noncurrent liabilities account includes the carrying amount of $5.9 million Exchangeable Notes issued in July 2003 and June 2005, net of discount representing the embedded conversion feature of the Note.

Business Outlook

Arthur J. Young, Jr., Chairman and CEO said, “During the third quarter we had to contend with rapidly-changing business demand that affected the semiconductor value chain. A couple of PSi customers had dramatic net reductions in volume, which affected our own loading requirements. To avert further negative financial impact, we were able to move our assembly and test lines to

higher-contribution margin packages and execute on our cost and productivity initiatives. We anticipate that our particular market will strengthen and will be back to single digit growth in the fourth quarter of 2007. We see the Philippine peso further appreciating in the fourth quarter of 2007, the effect of which we will continue to address.”

Gordon J. Stevenson, EVP and COO remarked, During 2007 we have made significant strides forward with respect to embedding continuous improvement activities in both of our manufacturing sites and have sustained our cost reduction drive considered essential towards combating the appreciating peso and increased copper prices. Our ‘Quality First’ strategy continues to yield breakthrough performance with numerous key customers viewing PSi as a preferred supplier and either now starting to shift their demand to PSi or increasing the current load to our Philippine manufacturing facilities. While opportunities remain, these factors combined are assisting greatly the overall PSi financial performance and are enabling us to lay a much more competitive foundation in preparation for an improved stronger semiconductor market.”
