    MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2007--ADC
(NASDAQ:ADCT)(www.adc.com) today announced unaudited results for its
fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. The results
from continuing operations are summarized below for ADC's four
reportable business segments: Global Connectivity Solutions, Wireless
Solutions, Wireline Solutions and Professional Services.

    "In 2007, ADC made significant strides in building the company's
long-term value as a leading global network infrastructure company,"
said Robert E. Switz, President and CEO of ADC. "We successfully
executed on our commitments of competitive transformation and
operating earnings momentum. We also better positioned ADC for global
fiber infrastructure leadership, growth in a new generation of
wireless capacity and coverage solutions, and expansion in developing
country markets."

    Significant Operating Income and Cash Flow Growth in 2007

    "ADC's successful efforts to transform our business competitively
resulted in strong operating income and cash flows in 2007," said
Switz. "Our total net sales of $1.3 billion in fiscal 2007 grew 3%
compared to fiscal 2006, yet our operating income grew 44% to $68
million and our cash provided by operating activities from continuing
operations grew 63% to $153 million versus fiscal 2006. Continuing
merger consolidation among some of our key communications service
provider customers reduced the sales growth rate of ADC and its peers
in 2007 compared to recent years. While awaiting the resumption of
spending by several of these key customers following their mergers, we
were aggressively working in 2007 on our competitive transformation
initiative--a multiyear program to achieve operational and cost
leadership in our businesses. This effort was a major factor in our
gross margins improving to 33.5% in fiscal 2007 compared to 32.2% in
fiscal 2006. Gross margin was 34.1% in fiscal 2007, excluding an $8.9
million inventory charge for the ACX copper automated cross-connect
product-line exit in the third quarter."

    "I am very pleased with our strong operating performance in every
quarter of fiscal 2007. At the same time, I am very disappointed that
we are also announcing a nonoperating $29.4 million impairment charge
on our investment portfolio due to uncertainties in the capital
markets regarding auction-rate securities," added Switz. "ADC has
always taken a conservative approach to investing our excess cash with
a corporate policy of investing only in highly rated investment-grade
securities, with preservation of capital and liquidity as our primary
objectives. We are not pleased that certain highly rated
investment-grade securities in our portfolio are currently illiquid
and have lost value in recent months. Given current capital market
conditions for auction-rate securities, we would expect that other
corporations will face similar valuation issues in their investment
portfolios. Our balance sheet and cash position remain strong."

    Diluted EPS Calculation

    The calculation of GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations
reflects the if-converted method, which assumes that ADC's convertible
notes are converted to common stock, if such treatment is dilutive.
This method results in the fully diluted EPS calculation for
continuing operations using a:

    --  Numerator equal to the sum of income from continuing
        operations plus the addback of after-tax interest expense from
        the convertible notes. The convertible notes consist of $200
        million in 1.0% fixed rate notes maturing on June 15, 2008 and
        $200 million in variable rate notes maturing on June 15, 2013,
        with an interest rate equal to 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375%. The
        interest rate for the variable rate notes is reset on each
        June 15 and December 15. The interest rate on the variable
        rate notes is 5.784% for the six-month period ending December
        15, 2007.

    --  Denominator equal to weighted average common shares
        outstanding for basic EPS plus employee stock options (where
        dilutive) plus 14.2 million shares assuming the convertible
        notes are converted to common stock.

    If adjusting GAAP earnings for the expenses (benefits) in the
above table, the variables below may be used in determining adjusted
diluted EPS from continuing operations, with and without the
if-converted method to determine which is the most dilutive treatment.

    Nonoperating Impairment Charge for Available-for-Sale Securities

    As disclosed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third
quarter of our 2007 fiscal year and as updated on a Form 8-K filed on
November 15, 2007, the current overall credit concerns in capital
markets have impacted our ability to liquidate certain auction-rate
securities that we classify as available-for-sale securities on our
balance sheet.

    As of October 31, 2007, we held auction-rate securities--purchased
as highly rated (AAA and AA) investment-grade securities--with a par
value of $193.0 million. In connection with the preparation of our
fourth quarter 2007 results, we have determined it is necessary to
record an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $29.4 million
(nonoperating item in other income/expense, net) to reduce the value
of our auction-rate securities to their estimated fair value of $163.6
million as of October 31, 2007. We determined the October 31, 2007
fair value of these auction-rate securities based on (i) October 31,
2007 prices provided by the brokerage firms managing our investments,
(ii) estimates provided by a third party valuation firm we have
retained to assess the value of our auction-rate securities, and (iii)
management judgment based on information we have received and our
expectation of the assumptions market participants would use in
pricing the assets in current market transactions.

    In early November, we sold at par $23.2 million of the
auction-rate securities we held on October 31, 2007. Subsequently, we
have received monthly account statements as of November 30, 2007 from
the firms managing our investments that indicate a further reduction
in fair value of the remaining investments of approximately $20
million. In connection with the preparation of our fourth quarter 2007
results we concluded based on these statements that a further
other-than-temporary impairment charge will be recorded in our first
quarter of fiscal 2008. The estimated $20 million further reduction in
fair value could change significantly, potentially reflecting either
further erosion or recovery in value, based on future market
conditions. We are continuing to monitor and analyze our auction-rate
securities investments. In November, one of these investments with a
par value of approximately $16.8 million was downgraded from a Aaa
rating to a A2 rating by Moody's Investor Services. We are not aware
of any other of our auction-rate securities investments that have been
downgraded to date.

    The current par value of our auction-rate securities portfolio is
$169.8 million, which after adjustment for the $29.4 million
other-than-temporary impairment recorded as of October 31 and the
additional estimated reduction of approximately $20 million in
November has an estimated fair value of approximately $121 million as
of November 30, 2007. To the extent that the additional $20 million
reduction in fair value estimated as of November 30 still exists at
the end of our first fiscal quarter of 2008, as well as any further
changes in fair value determined during the period, we would be
required to take an additional nonoperating impairment charge as of
that time. In addition, it is possible other additional temporary or
other-than-temporary charges could occur in the future depending on
changes in market conditions.

    "While we continue to explore ways to further strengthen our
liquidity position, we currently expect that our existing cash
resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working
capital and capital expenditures to execute our current business plan,
fund both the LGC Wireless and Century Man Communication acquisitions
and pay $200 million for the maturity of our convertible notes due in
June, 2008," said James G. Mathews, ADC's chief financial officer.

    Global Connectivity Solutions (GCS)

    GCS sales of $251 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 increased
10% from $229 million in the same quarter in 2006. From the same
period in fiscal 2006, GCS experienced a 37% increase in sales of
global fiber connectivity solutions, primarily due to strong growth in
central office fiber deployments, increased spending on FTTX
deployments and enterprise data center deployments. The increase in
fiber sales was offset partially by a 4% decline of global copper
connectivity shipments, which largely reflected a decrease in sales of
outside cabinets in Europe. Sales of global enterprise connectivity
products increased 2%.

    GCS sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 declined 6% from $269
million in the third quarter of 2007. Due primarily to seasonality,
sales of global fiber connectivity products decreased 12% and global
copper connectivity products decreased 5% sequentially from the third
quarter. Enterprise connectivity product sales increased 1% during the
same sequential period.

    Wireless Solutions

    Wireless Solutions sales of $11 million increased 25% in the
fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006, but
declined from $13 million in the third quarter of 2007. The variation
in sales was generated primarily as a result of spending patterns by
existing customers on Digivance coverage and capacity systems.

    Wireline Solutions

    Wireline Solutions sales of $13 million decreased 22% in the
fourth quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006 and
increased 10% from the third quarter of 2007. The year-over-year
decrease in wireline product sales was the result of a long-term,
industry-wide product substitution trend. This decline in market
demand for high-bit-rate digital subscriber line products is expected
to continue as carriers deliver fiber and Internet Protocol services
closer to end-user premises.

    Professional Services

    Professional Services fourth quarter 2007 sales of $54 million
increased 3% from the same quarter in 2006 and were 2% above the third
quarter of 2007. This growth was predominately in the United States
with a major customer continuing to expand its network build programs.

2007. The increase from August 3, 2007 was primarily a result of total
cash provided by operating activities, which was partially offset by
capital expenditures and a $29.4 million other-than-temporary
impairment on available-for-sale securities. This impairment is a
nonoperating charge in other income/expense, net. The increase from
October 31, 2006 was primarily a result of total cash provided by
operating activities, supplemented by $60 million in proceeds from the
sale of investments and partially offset by minority cost-based
investments, capital expenditures and the above referenced $29.4
million other-than-temporary impairment.

    ADC believes that its existing cash resources will be sufficient
to meet our anticipated needs for executing our current business plan.
ADC's $200 million of fixed rate convertible notes outstanding mature
on June 15, 2008, and the $200 million of variable rate convertible
notes mature on June 15, 2013. All convertible notes have a conversion
price of $28.091 per share. In addition, ADC's deferred tax assets,
which are substantially reserved at this time, should reduce its
income tax payable on U.S. taxable earnings in future years.

    Employees

    Total employees were approximately 9,050 as of October 31, 2007,
9,100 as of August 3, 2007 and 8,600 as of October 31, 2006. The
change in employees from August 3, 2007 and October 31, 2006 primarily
are due to the variation in the number of manufacturing personnel in
Mexico. As demand for products increases or decreases, we change the
number of manufacturing employees in our Mexico facilities to
accommodate our manufacturing needs.

    Outlook for 2008 Annual Guidance and Information on Long-term
Business Direction

    "We expect to grow sales and operating income in 2008 at or above
the average rate globally for our industry for a few key reasons",
said Switz. "First, we expect that normalized spending patterns will
resume in 2008 when the merger integration among some of our key
customers is completed. Second, we believe that we are very well
positioned to grow our market share in the fiber, copper and
enterprise connectivity markets, as well as in wireless capacity and
coverage solutions and developing country markets. The combination of
these sales growth expectations and our continued efforts to engage in
the competitive transformation of our operations drives our belief
that we can grow operating income in 2008 at a rate faster than sales.
Ultimately, delivering these kinds of results are expected to lead to
growth in long-term shareholder value."

    In fiscal 2008, ADC expects quarterly sales to be higher in the
middle two quarters similar to fiscal 2007. Consistent with this
pattern, ADC anticipates that sales in the first quarter of 2008 will
be lower than the fourth quarter of 2007 by 3-7%. This compares to
sequential declines in a range of 7-9% in the first quarters of 2005
and 2006. ADC expects its second quarter 2008 sales will be
sequentially higher than the first quarter as customers begin spending
their 2008 capital budgets sometime in February 2008, with third
quarter 2008 sales in a range around the second quarter amount. As is
typical to ADC's seasonal pattern, fourth quarter 2008 sales are
expected to be lower than the third quarter as customers' capital
spending nears the end of the calendar year. For the full year of
2008, gross margins are expected to average at 35% or higher; however,
they are expected to rise and decline with sales volume levels from
quarter to quarter resulting in the first and fourth quarter's gross
margins being lower than in the middle two quarters.

    On a continuing operations basis, ADC currently expects its 2008
sales to be in the range of $1.450-$1.475 billion. This includes the
results of the LGC Wireless acquisition that closed on November 30,
2007. Results for the Century Man Communication acquisition are not
included in the outlook at this time as this acquisition has not
closed. Based on this annual sales estimate and subject to sales mix
and other factors, GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations in 2008
is estimated to be in the range of $0.68 to $0.78, which includes
estimated charges (benefits), net of tax, listed in the below table,
except for the amortization of purchased intangibles associated with
the LGC Wireless acquisition, for which the amortization amount has
not yet been determined.

Estimated GAAP EPS from continuing operations - diluted $ 0.68-0.78(1)
Amortization of purchased intangibles                   $     0.20
Stock-option compensation expense in selling and
 administration                                         $     0.07
Approximately $20 million nonoperating impairment of
 available-for-sale securities as of November 30, 2007,
 subject to further evaluation throughout 2008          $     0.17


    (1) Excludes potential future restructuring, operating impairment,
further potential nonoperating impairment associated with our
available-for-sale securities, purchased intangible amortization, and
certain non-operating gains/losses, as well as benefits from any
reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation reserve, of which the
amounts are uncertain at this time. The calculation of GAAP diluted
EPS from continuing operations includes the if-converted method, which
assumes that ADC's convertible notes are converted to common stock, if
such treatment is dilutive.

    Long-Term Growth Potential In Global Network Infrastructure

    Because of our focus on long-term growth potential, we are
investing research and development resources, expanding go-to-market
presence and examining acquisitions that are aligned closely with our
core strategy to be a leading global network infrastructure company.
ADC is committed to increasing and growing its fiber connectivity,
wireless and enterprise portfolios, and growing in developing country
markets. Specifically, our strategic objectives are focused on the
following areas:

    --  Achieving global fiber connectivity leadership. ADC has strong
        customer relationships in which we supply high-performance
        fiber connectivity solutions to nearly every type of
        communications service provider, including nearly every major
        wired service provider around the globe as well as wireless
        service providers, cable operators, and large business
        enterprises. Our leadership position in these blue-chip
        companies positions us to be a global fiber connectivity
        leader as fiber continues to be deployed deeper into both
        public and private networks. We believe that fiber will
        dominate next-generation network infrastructure as
        communications service providers transition from narrowband to
        broadband services. Across the globe, fiber-intensive
        broadband networks that offer enhanced communications services
        and generate new revenue are accelerating.

    --  Executing our wireless capacity and coverage strategy. We have
        an exciting growth opportunity in our new FlexWave(TM) all-IP
        radio access network (IP RAN) solution that allows wireless
        operators to meet the growing coverage and capacity demands of
        advanced wireless services, while at the same time containing
        costs through flexible Internet Protocol (IP) backhaul. Our
        execution of this strategy was accelerated in November 2007
        with our acquisition of LGC Wireless, a global leader in
        specialized wireless coverage and capacity solutions for
        carriers and enterprises. We are building and marketing
        next-generation IP radio access nodes and distributed antenna
        systems for several important application areas: the home,
        business and outdoor venues such as campuses, public sites and
        hard-to-serve areas like tunnels and canyons. These products
        are designed to address both coverage and capacity for
        emerging data and video intensive wireless handsets.

    --  Growing sales in developing country markets. We are pursuing
        plans to accelerate ADC's growth potential, expand our product
        offerings, enhance our low-cost manufacturing capabilities and
        provide a price and feature competitive platform for gaining
        position in developing country markets. In December 2007, we
        executed on this strategic initiative and announced our intent
        to acquire Century Man Communication, a leading provider of
        communication distribution frame solutions in China.
        Developing countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin
        America are important to ADC as they are investing in
        communications infrastructure at higher rates than developed
        countries due to significant demand for communications
        services. In many cases, these developing countries need
        products designed for their application and installation
        requirements. As a result, we are investing in research and
        development, and examining potential acquisitions that can
        capture the strong potential of faster growing countries
        outside the United States and Western Europe.

    --  Continuing our competitive transformation. Coupled with the
        need for sales growth, ADC must also improve processes to
        enhance our customers' experience in doing business with ADC
        and become more cost efficient in order to increase
        profitability. We therefore are focusing aggressively on ways
        to conduct our operations more effectively and efficiently. We
        will continue working on our competitive transformation to
        enhance our customers' experience and realize the benefits of
        our highly leveragable operating model at higher sales volumes
        to drive strong earnings growth and cash flow generation.

    Income Tax Expense

    As of October 31, 2007, ADC had a total of $996 million in
deferred tax assets (primarily for U.S. income taxes) that have been
offset by a valuation allowance of $945 million. Approximately $213
million of these deferred tax assets relate to capital loss carryovers
that can be utilized only against realized capital gains through
October 31, 2009. Excluding the deferred tax assets related to capital
loss carryovers, most of the remaining deferred tax assets are not
expected to expire until after 2021. In fiscal 2006, ADC determined
that its recent experience generating U.S. income, along with its
projection of future U.S. income, constituted significant positive
evidence for partial realization of its U.S. deferred tax assets.
Therefore, ADC recorded a tax benefit of $49 million in fiscal 2006
and an additional $6 million in fiscal 2007 related to a partial
release of valuation allowance on the portion of our U.S. deferred tax
assets which are expected to be realized over the subsequent two-year
period. At one or more future dates, if sufficient positive evidence
exists that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be
realized with respect to additional deferred tax assets, we will
release additional valuation allowance. Also, if there is a reduction
in the projection of future U.S. income, we may need to increase the
valuation allowance. As it generates pre-tax income in future periods,
ADC currently expects to record reduced income tax expense until
either its deferred tax assets are fully utilized to offset future
income tax liabilities or the value of its deferred tax assets are
fully restored on the balance sheet.

future sales; profit percentages; earnings per share and other results
of operations; whether expectations or beliefs regarding the
marketplace in which we operate actually are realized; the sufficiency
of our cash balances and cash generated from operating and financing
activities for our future liquidity; potential adverse financial
impacts caused a decline in the fair value and lack of liquidity of
auction-rate securities we presently hold; the demand for equipment by
telecommunication service providers, from which a majority of our
sales are derived; the fact our business is increasingly dependent on

with rapid technological change in our industry; our ability to make
the proper strategic choices with respect to acquisitions or
divestitures; our ability to integrate the operations of any acquired
businesses with our own operations and to realize planned synergies
from such transactions; increased competition within our industry and
increased pricing pressure from our customers; our dependence on
relatively few customers for a majority of our sales as well as
potential sales growth in market segments we presently feel have the
greatest growth potential; fluctuations in our operating results from
quarter-to-quarter, which are influenced by many factors outside of
our control, such as variations in demand for particular products in
our portfolio that have varying profit margins; the impact of
regulatory changes on our customers' willingness to make capital
expenditures for our equipment and services; financial problems, work
interruptions in operations or other difficulties faced by our
customers or vendors, which can influence future sales to customers as
well as our ability to either collect amounts due us or obtain

both in the United States and outside of the United States, as a
significant portion of our sales come from non-U.S. jurisdictions; our
ability to protect our intellectual property rights and defend against
infringement claims made by other parties; possible limitations on our
ability to raise additional capital if required, either due to
unfavorable market conditions or lack of investor demand; our ability
to attract and retain qualified employees in a competitive
environment; potential liabilities that could arise if there are
design or manufacturing defects with respect to any of our products;
our ability to obtain raw materials and components and the prices of
those materials and components, which can be subject to volatility;
our dependence on contract manufacturers to make certain of our
products; changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates
and equity securities prices, all of which will impact our results;
our ability to successfully defend or satisfactorily settle any
pending litigation or litigation that may arise; fluctuations in the
telecommunications market, and other risks and uncertainties,
including those identified in the section captioned Risk Factors in
Item 1A of ADC's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
