WALNUT, Calif. – ViewSonic® Corporation, a leading global provider of visual display products, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Net sales were $423.9 million, an increase of 11.8 percent compared to $379.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by growth in unit shipments of LCD and projector products. Net income was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in net income was primarily the result of the growth in net sales, higher gross margins and a reduction in ViewSonic’s selling, general and administrative expenses, which were 6.9 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 7.9 percent in the second quarter of 2006. The second quarter of 2007 included a $3.7 million gain related to a litigation settlement related to certain commercial matters.

"While the display industry as a whole experienced shortages in certain LCD sizes resulting in an increase in panel prices, we were able to grow sales in regional markets by enhancing our core product offerings and continuing to execute on strategic initiatives designed to improve our cost structure,” said James Chu , chairman and CEO of ViewSonic Corporation. “As a result of these efforts and improvements made in our supply chain and logistics processes, we were able to continue to grow our net income year-over-year.”
