CyberOptics Reports Stronger Than Forecasted

Third Quarter Operating Results



New 500,000 Share Repurchase Program Authorized



Minneapolis, MNOctober 24, 2007CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today reported operating results for the third quarter of 2007 ended September 30:




        Consolidated sales totaled $16,173,000, up 16% from $13,974,000 in this years second quarter and also up 15% from $14,075,000 in the third quarter of 2006. Third quarter sales exceeded the previously issued guidance for this period.





        Operating income came to $1,806,000, up from $1,274,000 in this years second quarter and $1,767,000 in the year-earlier period.





        Net income totaled $1,473,000 or $0.16 per diluted share, an increase of 23% from $1,198,000 or $0.13 per diluted share in this years second quarter and down from $1,745,000 or $0.19 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2006. Earnings for this years third quarter, which exceeded the forecasted financial guidance for this period, included $207,000 of additional selling and general administrative expense, or $.01 per diluted share on an after-tax basis, related to a cancelled acquisition. Earnings and our effective tax rate for this years third quarter were also negatively impacted by a $64,000 reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from a tax law change in the United Kingdom.





        CyberOptics ended the third quarter of 2007 with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $49,967,000 compared to $48,842,000 at the end of the second quarter and $49,007,000 at the beginning of 2007. CyberOptics board of directors has approved a new share buyback authorization, calling for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of common stock in the open market for a one-year period, commencing October 29, 2007, under a 10b5-1 trading program. No CyberOptics shares were repurchased during the third quarter.




Kathleen P. Iverson, president and chief executive officer, commented: Our above-plan operating results in the third quarter were paced by much stronger than anticipated sales of  electronic assembly sensors and continued robust demand for inspection systems. Sales of electronic assembly sensors to our primary OEM customers were at their strongest level within the past two years, reflecting an upturn in the global electronic assembly market that we believe started strengthening during this years second quarter. Our third quarter sales also benefited from the shipment of the remaining half of 37 SE 300 solder paste inspection systems from an earlier order. In addition, significant orders for both solder paste and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems were received from original design manufacturers (ODMs) and electronics manufacturing services companies. We also completed our first Flex Ultra
AOI sales to key ODM and memory module customers, who previously had only used our SE 300 solder paste inspection systems. We ended the third quarter with a solid backlog of inspections systems and believe that fourth quarter revenue from inspection systems should increase from the third quarter level.



Iverson continued: Order bookings of both
electronic assembly sensors and inspection systems totaled $15.7 million in the third quarter, and we ended this period with a
backlog totaling $8.1 million. The majority of this backlog is scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter. Sales of electronic
assembly sensors are forecasted to remain robust, although we expect the fourth quarter sensor order rate to moderate somewhat
from the exceptionally strong third quarter level. As a result, we are forecasting sales of $13.5 to $14.5 million and earnings of
$0.12 to $0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2007 ending December 31. Our fourth quarter guidance incorporates the
continuation of higher R&D investment related to the development of next-generation solder paste and AOI
systems.

Steven K. Case, Ph.D., chairman and founder, added: We believe that the upturn in the global electronics assembly market should continue into 2008. To fully capitalize upon positive market conditions, we will continue the accelerated R&D program that we implemented in the third quarter, which is aimed at keeping our systems offerings on the leading edge of inspection technology. We see substantial opportunities for inspection solutions based on faster production through-put speeds, programming ease of use, and improved imaging resolutions. We believe the next-generation systems now under development will also serve us well in future market environments, since demand for inspection systems is not driven solely by increases in production capacity. To help ensure end-product quality, automated inspection is increasingly required for inspecting the progressively smaller and nearly microscopic components
now used in a growing range of end-user electronics. For this reason, CyberOptics long-term future will benefit from todays investments.
