CLEARWATER, Fla., Jan 31, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

$17.5 Million Revenues, $.13 EPS, Posts Third Consecutive Quarter of Double-Digit Revenue and Earnings Growth; FY 99 Revenues Exceed $50 Million

Digital Lightwave(R), Inc. (NasdaqIGL), a leading provider of innovative optical networking products and technology, today announced record revenues and earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

Fourth-quarter revenues were $17.5 million, up 23 percent from revenues of $14.2 million for the third quarter and more than double the $8.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 1998. Net income was $3.9 million, or $.13 per share (diluted), up from $2.6 million, or $.09 per share (diluted), for the third quarter and compared with a net loss of $6.2 million, or a loss of $0.23 per share, for the fourth quarter of 1998. The loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 included approximately $4.6 million, or $.17 per share, of special charges principally associated with litigation and restructuring matters.

"The increasing demand for global Internet bandwidth continued to fuel profitable revenue growth for the company," said Gerry Chastelet, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Digital Lightwave. "For the year, we more than doubled our revenues, shipped over 1,100 NICs, began extending our market reach through initiating OEM and joint marketing relationships, and stepped up our technology leadership through the introduction of several new products. We`re excited by the performance of the business and view 2000 as an opportunity to expand our role in the burgeoning market for optical network products."

Revenues for fiscal year 1999 were $50.5 million, more than double the revenues of $24.2 million reported for fiscal year 1998. Net income for fiscal year 1999 was $5.0 million, or $.17 per share (diluted), compared with a net loss of $29.8 million, or $1.13 per share, for the previous year. The loss for fiscal year 1998 included $14.1 million, or $.54 per share, of special charges principally associated with litigation and restructuring matters.

During the fourth quarter, Digital Lightwave added several new customers in the telecommunications sector.

Habe DIGL zwar schon ziemlich lange und sind ja auch schon gut gelaufen,
aber ich habe jetzt nochmal welche nachgekauft, weil ich denke sie sind in einer
sehr profitablen Nische plaziert.

Eigentlich gibts es für das Testequipment, das sie herstellen keine wirkliche
Konkurrenz. Und das in einem Sektor, nach dem alle gieren.

Ich glaube, dass das richtige Erwachen hier noch bevor steht, denn hier geht es mal wieder
um Kosten: im Moment werden die Netze ausgebaut, koste es was es wolle,
aber es wird nicht merh lange dauern, dann wird der Kostendruck grösser in der Wartung
(see Global Crossing...) und Spezialisten wie DIGL (eigentlich NUR DIGL...)
were den grossen Reibach machen (oder aufgekauft werden...)

Sehr gute Chancen für die nächsten 5 Jahre, IMO viel besser als bei den reinen Glasfaser-Anbietern,
denn die profitieren gerade noch davon, dass zu horrenden Kosten die Netze
ausgebaut werden, aber hier werden die Margen schmelzen, noch nicht, aber bald...

Good Luck
