FEI Company Finalizes Financial Statements and Files Form 10-K

HILLSBORO, Ore., Feb 29, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FEI Company (Nasdaq:FEIC) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today.

The Form 10-K reports that the company's annual revenue for 2007 was $592.5 million and its fourth quarter revenue was $150.2 million. Both totals are $2.3 million lower than the preliminary results released by the company on February 4, 2008. Net income was $57.9 million or $1.35 per diluted share for the year and $15.6 million or $0.36 per diluted share for the fourth quarter. Those results are $1.6 million or $0.04 per share below the preliminary results.

The revised financial results reflect the company's determination, during the completion of its financial statements, that $1.3 million of revenue related to a limited number of transactions involving multiple deliverables should be deferred and that service revenue should be adjusted downward by $1.0 million. The company anticipates recognizing the $1.3 million in revenue from transactions involving multiple deliverables in 2008.

Balance sheets, statements of operations and supplemental information consistent with the Form 10-K filing are attached to this press release.
