  IXYS Corporation Announces Results for the June 30, 2005 Quarter Thursday August 4, 4:30 pm ET 
  SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2005--IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:SYXI - News) today released its financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.  For the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, IXYS reported net revenues of $63.3 million, an increase of 5.6% as compared with net revenues of $60.0 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. 
  Gross profit was $21.1 million, or 33.4% of net revenues, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as compared to gross profit of $17.2 million, or 28.6% of net revenues, for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. 
  Net income for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2005 was $5.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $1.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share, in the same quarter for the prior fiscal year. 
  "We are pleased to report that, comparing the June 2005 quarter to the June 2004 quarter, we continued to grow the top line and the bottom line. Gross profits grew by 23% and net income grew by 176%. In the June quarter, we saw lower revenues from our consumer products business when compared to the March quarter, and lower than expected revenues in Europe. We have been taking actions to address our revenues in Europe and reduce our overhead there. We enjoyed the benefits of our lean organization and reported a net income of $5.1 million, the second highest profit for any quarter in our history. We continued our cash growth, and stockholders' equity grew to a record level of $169 million. Our stronger balance sheet allows us to continue to invest in new products and technology, as well as establish a stronger presence in Asia," commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, Chief Executive Officer. 
  "The summer months have historically been weak for IXYS," said Uzi Sasson, Chief Financial Officer. "Therefore, we expect revenues for the September quarter to be relatively flat, or slightly lower, as compared to the June quarter." 
  IXYS develops and markets primarily high performance power semiconductors and control ICs that are used in controlling and converting electrical power efficiently in power systems for telecommunication infrastructure, motor drives, medical systems and transportation. IXYS also serves emerging markets with digital and analog ICs that control flat panel displays, medical instruments and telecommunication products.
