<p style="color:windowtext;font-family:Times New Roman;line-height:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">ANGLETON, TX, OCTOBER 4, 2007 &#150; Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:
BHE), a leading contract manufacturing provider, revised its guidance for the
third quarter of 2007 due to slower than anticipated product and program
transitions, as well as softer than projected marketplace demand</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;font-family:Times New Roman;line-height:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Based on preliminary information, sales for the third quarter of 2007
are expected to be between $670 million and $680&nbsp;million. During the
quarter, we continued to see strong new program bookings and exceeded our
anticipated levels of operating cash flows. Our position in the industry
continues to be strong despite the current market condition.</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> Diluted
earnings per share for the third quarter, including a $6 million tax benefit,
are expected to be between $0.29 and $0.35 on a GAAP basis.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;line-height:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Looking forward, we anticipate new bookings and new program ramps to
provide measurable sequential growth for the fourth quarter.</font></p>

<p style="color:windowtext;line-height:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">These results are preliminary and therefore subject to the Company&#146;s
completion of its third quarter closing and review procedures. At this time,
the Company is finalizing its financial results for the third quarter of 2007
and will report those results on October 25, 2007. A conference call hosted by
Benchmark management will be held on October 25, 2007 at 10:00 am (Central
time) to discuss the financial results of the Company and its current outlook.
This call will be broadcast via the Internet and may be accessed by logging on
