</pre>
		<p>TAINAN, Taiwan, April 29, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (&quot;Himax&quot; or &quot;Company&quot;) (Nasdaq:HIMX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.</p>
		<p>Net revenues for the first quarter of 2008 was $231.6 million, representing 25.3% growth year-over-year and a 13.3% decline sequentially.</p>
		<p>Gross margin was 25.3% in the first quarter of 2008, up 580 basis points year-over-year and up 60 basis points sequentially.</p>
		<p>Operating margin was 13.7% in the first quarter of 2008. Operating income was $31.7 million, up from $16.8 million in the same period last year, and down from $42.4 million in the previous quarter.</p>
		<p>Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $34.1 million, up from $18.0 million in the same period last year, and down from $46.0 million in the previous quarter. This represents earnings per diluted share of $0.18, compared to $0.09 in the first quarter of 2007, and $0.23 in the fourth quarter of 2007.</p>
		<p>Excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, non-GAAP operating margin was 14.9% in the first quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP operating income was $34.6 million, up from $19.2 million in the same period last year, and down from $44.4 million in the previous quarter.</p>
		<p>Non-GAAP net income was $37.0 million, up from $20.4 million in the same period last year, and down from $48.0 million in the previous quarter. This represents earnings per diluted share of $0.19, compared to $0.10 in the first quarter of 2007, and $0.24 in the fourth quarter of 2007.</p>
		<p>Share-based compensation was $2.4 million, compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, and $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Acquisition-related charges were $0.5 million, compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2007, and $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.</p>
		<p>Reconciliation of gross margin, operating margin and diluted EPS excluding share-based compensation and acquisition-related charges, a non-GAAP financial measure, to GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating margin and diluted GAAP EPS, most comparable GAAP figure, is set out in the attached reconciliation schedule.</p>
		<p>Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax, commented, &quot;The appreciation of NT dollars had relatively little impact on our financials, as virtually all of our revenues and costs of goods sold are priced in U.S. dollars and we keep and report our books in U.S. dollars. Our first quarter revenues, gross margin and EPS all came in above our guidance. Our revenues declined by 13.3% sequentially, which reflects the seasonally lower demand in the first quarter and fewer working days in the holiday month of February. We were able to improve our gross margin for the sixth consecutive quarter, which was the result of our continued efforts in reducing our unit cost that more than offset our ASP decline.&quot;</p>
		<p>Mr. Wu continued, &quot;We maintain an optimistic long term view for our non-driver products, which include LCOS microdisplays, timing controllers, monitor scalers, TV chipsets, and power management ICs. We are encouraged by the progress we made in these product segments over the past couple of quarters. Some of these products, such as timing controller, are already in mass production and we have continued to be awarded with new design-wins. In other product areas we are either in early stage of mass production or undergoing advanced stage of anchor customer design-in. We continue to allocate a significant amount of engineering resources to all these new product areas. Upon mass production, all of them will enjoy higher gross margins as compared to display driver IC products.&quot;</p>
		<p>Looking forward, Mr. Wu added, &quot;We expect revenues to increase sequentially in the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to normal seasonality in the second quarter. We expect revenues to grow by around mid- to high- single digit, gross margin to remain flat or decline within one percentage point and diluted GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.16 - $0.18.&quot;</p>

start today&#8217;s results analysis, I think it&#8217;s a good idea that we talk about the
impact of the recent NT dollar appreciation over our financials. This is
important because, as you know, many of our Taiwan peers have suffered, to
various degrees, in their revenues, gross profit and non-operating income. The
appreciation, however, had relatively little impact on our financials. We keep
and report our books in US dollars. We have therefore maintained a policy to
seek a natural hedge position on a US dollar basis. Virtually all of our
revenues and costs of goods sold are priced in US dollars. In addition, we have
kept the majority of our cash in US dollars for the same reason. As Max will
report later, we made a net foreign exchange gain of US$1.4 million in the first
quarter. Our goal is that we keep a neutral hedge position regardless of the NT
dollar movement.</font></div>

net revenues of $231.6 million, representing a 25.3% growth year-over-year and a
13.3% decline sequentially. The sequential decline in revenues reflects the
seasonally lower demand in the first quarter and fewer working days in the
holiday month of February.</font></div>

large panel display drivers were up 26.2% from the same period last year, and
down 11.4% sequentially, and accounted for 82.6% of our total revenues in the
first quarter. The sequential decline in revenues was primarily due to the
slower seasonal sales across all applications and decline in ASP during the
first quarter.</font></div>

small-and medium-sized display drivers were up 9.7% year-over-year and down
27.3% sequentially. Small-and medium-sized revenues accounted for about 14.0% of
our total revenues, as compared to 16.6% in the previous quarter. The sequential
decline in revenues was primarily due to excess inventory issue for the China
white brand handset market in the first quarter.</font></div>

margin was 25.3% in the first quarter of 2008, up 580 basis points
year-over-year and up 60 basis points sequentially. We are pleased that we were
able to improve our gross margin for the sixth consecutive quarter. This
positive trend shows the results of our continued efforts in reducing our unit
cost that more than offsets our ASP decline in the first quarter.</font></div>

$0.18 in the first quarter of 2008, doubled from $0.09 in the same period a year
ago. The result is primarily a combination of our increased revenue, diversified
product offering, and improved gross margin.</font></div>

our non-driver products contributed more than 3% of our total sales in the first
quarter. Such revenues are outgrowing those of our display drivers
substantially. We maintain an optimistic long term view for our non-driver
products, which include LCOS microdisplays, timing controllers, monitor scalers,
TV chipsets, and power management ICs. We are encouraged by the progress we made
in these product segments over the past couple of quarters. Some of these
products, such as timing controllers, are already in mass production and we have
continued to be awarded with new design-wins. While in other product areas we
are either in early stage of mass production or undergoing advanced stage of
anchor customer design-in. We continue to allocate a significant amount of
engineering resources to all these new product areas. Upon mass production, all
of them will enjoy higher gross margins as compared to display driver IC
products.</font></div>

expect revenues to increase sequentially in the second quarter of 2008,
primarily due to normal seasonality in the second quarter. We expect revenues to
grow by around mid to high single digit, gross margin to remain flat or decline
within one percentage point and diluted GAAP EPS to be in the range of
$0.16-$0.18.</font></div>
