July 28, 2003

ANADIGICS, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANAD), a leading supplier of wireless and broadband communications solutions, today announced second quarter 2003 net sales of $18.0 million. This compares to revenues of $16.1 million in the first quarter of 2003. The "GAAP" EPS loss was ($0.45) and included a charge of $1.7 million or $0.06 per share relating to the purchased in-process research and development resulting from the acquisition of the WLAN Power Amplifier business from RF Solutions.

Wireless revenues were $9.0 million, up 4.9% from first quarter 2003 revenues of $8.6 million. CDMA revenues accounted for greater than 90% of Wireless revenues. Broadband revenues were $9.0 million, up 20% from first quarter 2003 revenues of $7.5 million. The favorable revenue increase was achieved both through the shipments of WLAN power amplifiers and increased revenue growth in cable infrastructure products.

"In 2003, ANADIGICS introduced several new products that will play a critical role in driving our CDMA and GSM revenue growth," said Dr. Bami Bastani, President & CEO of ANADIGICS, Inc. "The Company has attained a leadership position in WLAN as demonstrated by achieving an industry milestone with the shipment of over 1 million InGaP power amplifiers in less than 100 days".

The Company's gross profit increased to $0.6 million, up from breakeven in the first quarter 2003. Total operating expenses (including R&D and SG&A) were $12.6 million, reflecting the additional quarterly expense following the acquisition of RF Solutions' Power Amplifier business.

The Company's balance sheet remains strong. The cash balance (including marketable securities) was $135.1 million at June 28, 2003 compared to $144.6 million on March 29, 2003. During the quarter, the company used $2.9 million in cash to fund the RF Solutions acquisition and $0.6 million for capital expenditures.
