PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 15, 2005

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported orders of $1.80 billion for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2005, 1 percent above one year ago. Revenues during the quarter were $1.69 billion, 10 percent below last year. Third quarter GAAP net earnings were $104 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $100 million, or $0.20 per share, in last year's third quarter.

Excluding a net $38 million composed largely of restructuring charges and tax benefits, Agilent reported third quarter operating net income of $142 million, or $0.28 per share. On a comparable basis, the company earned $154 million, or $0.30 per share, one year ago(1).

"Agilent performed well in the third quarter, despite still-soft markets," said Bill Sullivan, Agilent president and chief executive officer. "Revenues were slightly below our expectations because of weak wireless test and life sciences markets. We were disciplined in our spending, however, and demonstrated excellent cash generation once again. As the world's premier measurement company, we extended our leadership through major new product introductions in both electronic and bioanalytical instrumentation."

The company reported third quarter revenues of $1.69 billion, just below its expectations of $1.70 billion to $1.80 billion. Operating earnings, at $0.28 per share, were at the high end of expectations of $0.23 to $0.28 per share. Gross margins improved by over 2 percentage points compared with last year, despite 10 percent lower revenues and difficult conditions in several of Agilent's markets. During the quarter, the company generated $85 million in free cash flow(2) from operations, bringing total cash on hand to $2.8 billion.

Looking ahead, Agilent said it remained comfortable with its prior guidance for the fourth fiscal quarter. With evidence of a rebound in semiconductor-related markets, signs of a bottoming in wireless test, and the assumption of normal seasonality, the company expects fourth quarter fiscal 2005 revenues of $1.79 billion to $1.89 billion. Operating earnings are expected to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.38 per share(3).

Momentum in Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis remained mixed in this year's third quarter. Orders of $348 million were 8 percent above last year, and down 10 percent sequentially due to normal seasonal patterns. Both Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis orders were up similar amounts compared with last year, with particular strength in Life Sciences from generic drug manufacturers, and for the new gas chromatograph and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) platforms within Chemical Analysis. Revenue of $341 million was up only 2 percent versus last year because of the late-quarter introduction of new GC/MS instruments and some weakness in near-term pharmaceutical demand. With shippable backlog at record levels, this segment is expected to return to double-digit revenue growth in Q4.

Segment profits of $42 million were $3 million below last year on a $6 million increase in revenues. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, profits were flat compared with last year. A lower tax rate and tight capital management enabled the segment to achieve a Return On Invested Capital(5) (ROIC) of 27 percent during the quarter, compared with last year's ROIC of 22 percent.

Third quarter Test and Measurement orders of $722 million were 6 percent below one year ago and down 5 percent from the seasonally strong second quarter. Overall segment demand was characterized by mixed demand in communications test solutions, with wireless test still below last year and wireline test up, and pockets of strength in general purpose instruments. Revenues of $705 million were 8 percent below last year and down 6 percent from the prior three months.

Third quarter operating profits of $72 million were $17 million below last year on $58 million lower revenues, with gross margins improved by over 1 point and operating expenses slightly below one year ago. Compared with the second quarter, segment profits were flat despite $43 million lower revenues. During the quarter, Test and Measurement achieved a 17 percent ROIC(5), up 3 points from last year despite a 1.5 point lower operating margin, with taxes lower and capital investment well contained.

Third quarter Automated Test orders were up for the third consecutive quarter, reaching $228 million, 10 percent above last year and 33 percent ahead of the second quarter. Semiconductor test orders were up 18 percent from last year, with particular strength in SOC test, while manufacturing test orders were off 16 percent from one year ago. Revenues of $192 million were 21 percent below last year but up 6 percent sequentially. Segment book-to-bill of 1.19 compares with 0.86 one year ago and 0.94 in the second quarter.

The third quarter segment loss of $13 million represents an improvement of $7 million compared with the second quarter on an $11 million increase in revenues. With momentum building in semiconductor test, this segment is expected to return to profitability in the fourth quarter.

Semiconductor Products orders of $499 million during the third quarter were up 25 percent from one year ago and up 8 percent sequentially. The increase in orders was led by personal systems, up 37 percent from last year, with particular strength in wireless handset components and navigation products, while networking orders were up 2 percent. With a book-to-bill ratio of 1.11 compared with 1.12 in the second quarter and only 0.87 one year ago, it appears that the semiconductor industry is regaining momentum. Third quarter revenues of $450 million were 2 percent below last year but up 9 percent sequentially.

Segment profits of $39 million were $2 million below last year on an $8 million drop in revenues. Sequentially, profits were up $27 million on a $36 million increase in revenues. Segment ROIC(5) was 18 percent during the quarter, flat with last year but up 12 points from the second quarter.

(1)Before net restructuring and amortization charges in all periods.

(2)Free cash flow is defined as Net Cash provided by operating activities less Investments in property, plant and equipment.

(3)Agilent's expected range of EPS for Q405 excludes restructuring, which cannot be estimated, and amortization of intangibles, which is expected to be approximately $4 million per quarter. The annual non-GAAP tax rate is assumed to be 23 percent. Beginning in Q304, Agilent is treating its senior convertible debentures as "if converted." As a result, approximately 36 million shares were added to the denominator of diluted EPS, and $6.6 million of associated after-tax quarterly interest expense was added back to the numerator.

(4)Before restructuring charges in all periods.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance and to enhance our investors' overall understanding of our
core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.
We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through
the eyes" of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.
Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures
such as are disclosed in this release. This information facilitates
management's internal comparisons to the company's historical
operating results and comparisons to competitors operating results.

Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental
information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP
information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It
excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have
a material effect on the company's net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with
expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does
not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the
company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance and to enhance our investors' overall understanding of our
core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.
We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through
the eyes" of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.
Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures
such as are disclosed in this release. This information facilitates
management's internal comparisons to the company's historical
operating results and comparisons to competitors operating results.

Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental
information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP
information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It
excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have
a material effect on the company's net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with
expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does
not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the
company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

(a) In order to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share, we
added 36 million shares and approximately $7 million of after-tax
interest expense to non-GAAP net income to treat our senior
convertible debentures as if they were converted. There was no impact
of this to our diluted earnings per share.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance and to enhance our investors' overall understanding of our
core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.
We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through
the eyes" of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.
Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures
such as those that are disclosed in this release. This information
facilitates management's internal comparisons to the company's
historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating
results.

Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental
information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP
information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It
excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have
a material effect on the company's net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with
expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does
not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the
company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

(a) In order to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share, we
added 36 million shares and approximately $6 million of after-tax
interest expense to non-GAAP net income to treat our senior
convertible debentures as if they were converted. The impact of this
was ($.01) to our diluted earnings per share.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance and to enhance our investors' overall understanding of our
core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.
We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through
the eyes" of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.
Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures
such as those that are disclosed in this release. This information
facilitates management's internal comparisons to the company's
historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating
results.

Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental
information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP
information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It
excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have
a material effect on the company's net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with
expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does
not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the
company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

We provide non-GAAP financial information in order to provide
meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational
performance and to enhance our investors' overall understanding of our
core current financial performance and our prospects for the future.
We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through
the eyes" of management in addition to the GAAP presentation.
Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures
such as those that are disclosed in this release. This information
facilitates management's internal comparisons to the company's
historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating
results.

Non-GAAP information allows for greater transparency to supplemental
information used by management in its financial and operational
decision making. Historically, we have reported similar non-GAAP
information to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting.

This information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It
excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have
a material effect on the company's net income (loss) and net income
(loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with
expectations and that our GAAP results are correctly stated but does
not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the
company. The non-GAAP information we provide may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
