MIPS Technologies Announces Preliminary Fiscal Third Quarter Revenue Results

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. April 4, 2007 - MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer, networking, personal entertainment, communications and business applications, today announced preliminary revenue results for its third quarter of fiscal 2007.  For the quarter ending March 31, 2007, the company expects to report revenues in the range of $18.8 million to $19.0 million compared to $20.8 million in the prior quarter.

“Both our royalty and contract revenues came in lower than we had previously expected during the quarter,” noted John Bourgoin, president and CEO of MIPS Technologies.  “Two licenses that we had anticipated completing did not close until the first week of April. Had we completed these as anticipated, MIPS would have had a strong licensing revenue quarter. These licenses will be incremental to our expected contract revenue in our fourth fiscal quarter.”

All statements relating to the company’s third quarter financial performance contained in this release are preliminary and may change based on the company’s management and independent auditors completion of customary quarterly closing  and review procedures.

MIPS Technologies will report revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 on April 25, 2007 after the close of the market.  The company invites you to listen to management’s discussion of Q3 results and Q4 guidance in a live conference call on April 25, 2007 beginning at 1:45 p.m. Pacific time.  The conference call number is 1-210-839-8500.  The replay number is 1-203-369-1260 and will be available for seven days, beginning shortly after the end of the conference call.  The access code is MIPS.  An audio replay of the conference call can be found at www.mips.com/company/investor_relations soon thereafter.
