Item 2.02       Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On July 23, 2007, Digi International Inc. (the “Company”) reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. See the Company’s press release dated July 23, 2007, which is furnished as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
     Certain information the Company intends to disclose on the conference call scheduled for 5:00 p.m. eastern time on July 23, 2007, includes earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included below.
     Management understands that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. The use of EBTDA does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for the Company’s working capital needs. Additionally, measures of EBTDA, including EBTDA as a percentage of net sales, may be calculated differently from company to company, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Management nevertheless believes that the presentation of EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring the Company’s performance from year to year and in assessing the Company’s performance against other companies. Management believes that such information helps investors compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of the Company’s capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Management believes that EBTDA as a percentage of net sales is not only useful for the Company in measuring and monitoring internal performance, but it is also widely used by analysts and investors to assess the Company’s performance. The Company uses EBTDA as a percentage of net sales as a key performance indicator of how the Company is performing compared to prior periods and compared to the Company’s operating plan. Furthermore, the Company’s incentive compensation plans use EBTDA to measure operating performance, which is a factor that the most employees have the ability to influence.

Digi International Reports 21.4% Increase in Revenue for
Third Fiscal Quarter 2007 Over Third Fiscal Quarter 2006
(Minneapolis, MN, July 23, 2007) - Digi International® Inc. (NASDAQ: DGII) reported revenue of $ $43.5 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared with $35.9 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $7.6 million, or 21.4%. Other financial highlights for the quarter include:
    Operating income and net income increased by 35.9% and 103.0%, respectively, over the third quarter of 2006.
 
    Earnings per diluted share increased by 86% over the third quarter of 2006, including discrete tax benefits recorded in the third quarters of fiscal 2007 and 2006.
Revenue from embedded products in the third quarter of 2007 was $18.8 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 37.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2006. Revenue from non-embedded products was $24.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.6 million, or 11.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2006. MaxStream-branded product revenue was $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2007. MaxStream was acquired on July 27, 2006.
Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2007 was 52.8% compared with 54.3% during the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross profit margin was due to lower sales of higher gross profit margin mature products and other product mix changes within both the embedded and non-embedded product categories. Gross profit margin includes the amortization of identifiable intangibles for purchased and core technology, shown separately on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Operating expenses as a percent of net sales decreased by 2.7 percentage points in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006 as Digi continues to focus on controlling expenses while increasing revenue. Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were $17.9 million, or 41.1% of revenue, compared with $15.7 million, or 43.8% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in operating expenses is attributable to the inclusion of operating expenses pertaining to MaxStream and variable compensation expenses related to the increase in revenue.
Operating income increased by 35.9% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter of 2006. Operating income was $5.1 million, or 11.7% of net sales, in the

third quarter of 2007, compared with $3.8 million, or 10.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2006.
Digi recorded a discrete tax benefit of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 equating to $0.11 per diluted share pertaining to the closing of a domestic tax return and the settlement of a foreign tax audit. As a result of the aforementioned events taking place in the third quarter of 2007, Digi reversed previously established tax reserves associated with these items. During the third quarter of 2006 Digi recorded a tax benefit of $0.6 million equating to $0.02 per diluted share pertaining to the recovery of discrete tax benefits in the quarter.
Net income was $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 103.0%. Earnings per diluted share were $0.26 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $0.14 in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 86%.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, Digi reported revenue of $128.2 million compared to revenue of $103.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006, or an increase of 23.7%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, Digi reported net income of $14.2 million compared to $8.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 75.3%. Earnings per diluted share were $0.55 for the first nine months of 2007 compared to $0.34 for the comparable period in 2006, an increase of 59%.
Digi’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of the third quarter of 2007 was $78.0 million, an increase of $19.1 million over the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balance at the end of fiscal 2006. Digi’s current ratio is 5.7 to 1, and the Company has no debt other than insignificant amounts of capital lease obligations.
“This was another strong quarter for Digi,” said Joe Dunsmore, Digi’s Chief Executive Officer. “In particular, our operating income improvement of 35.9% year over year is indicative of our positive operating momentum.”
Third Quarter 2007 Business Highlights:
    Digi united wireless technologies to pioneer “Drop-in Networking,” with the introduction of the ConnectPort X product family, a line of IP gateways that provide seamless connectivity of ZigBee, Wi-Fi, cellular and Ethernet traffic to centralized applications and databases.
