Mellanox Technologies Announces Financial Results for Q2 2007
Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenue

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and YOKNEAM, Israel – July 25, 2007 – Mellanox™ Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX; TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of semiconductor-based, server and storage interconnect products, today announced record financial results for its fiscal second quarter of 2007, ended June 30, 2007.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company recorded revenue in the second quarter of $19.8 million, up 17 percent from the $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 and up 83 percent from $10.8 million in the second quarter a year ago.

Gross margins in the second quarter were 75.1 percent, compared with 74.7 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 68.1 percent in the second quarter a year ago. GAAP net income in the second quarter was $5.6 million or $0.17 per diluted share, compared with $3.3 million or $0.15 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007 and $649,000 or $0.02 per diluted share a year ago.

On a non-GAAP basis, the company recorded second quarter net income of $6.4 million compared with $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 and $712,000 a year ago. These non-GAAP net income results exclude share-based compensation expenses.

Total cash and investments were $137.7 million at June 30, 2007. The company generated $5.0 million of cash from operations during the quarter or $11.7 million for the first half of 2007.

“We are pleased with our second quarter results, which represented the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenues for Mellanox,” said Eyal Waldman, chairman, president and CEO. “We are continuing to expand our OEM customer base, and increasing the number of enterprise and commercial applications we are addressing with InfiniBand.

“We have already begun production shipments of our ConnectX IB InfiniBand adapters to Hewlett-Packard for its BladeSystem c-Class, and expect to ship to additional tier-one server companies later this year. We have also secured our first ConnectX EN 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter design win.

“In addition to our NASDAQ listing, Mellanox is proud to have listed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), and to be included in four TASE indexes: the TA-75, TA-100, Tel-Tech and Tel-Tech 15,” he said.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Mellanox uses non-GAAP measures of net income which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. The company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors, as these non-GAAP results exclude expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. Management believes it is useful to exclude share-based compensation expenses because it enhances investors’ ability to review our business from the same perspective as management, which believes that share-based compensation expenses are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s business operations. Further, management uses non-GAAP information as certain non-cash charges such as share-based compensation do not reflect the cash operating results of the business. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations is also presented in the financial statements portion of this release and is posted under the “Investors” section at our website.

* Under GAAP, shares used in computing income per share attributable to ordinary shareholders are adjusted for the amount of time they are outstanding during the period. Because the shares issued pursuant to our initial public offering were issued, and all of our then outstanding preferred shares converted into ordinary shares, on February 13 2007, those shares were adjusted for the amount of time they were outstanding during the period as part of the GAAP SHARES- BASIC calculation. The GAAP SHARES-BASIC have been adjusted to a non-GAAP measure as if those ordinary shares were outstanding during the entire period to provide a comparable share number in future quarters.

• This adjustment adds back the GAAP effect of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares from stock options had been issued under the treasury method.
