SILICOM REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004 RESULTS

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

KFAR SAVA, Israel — April 21, 2004 — Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILCF ) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Revenues for the first quarter of 2004 were $848,000 compared to $1,325,000 for the first quarter of 2003. Net loss for the quarter was ($402,000), or ($0.10) per share, compared to ($223,000), or ($0.05) per share, for the first quarter of 2003.

MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Workstation"

Commenting on the results, Shaike Orbach, President and CEO, said, “Our first quarter results reflect the timing lag between the phase out of legacy product lines, whose sales continue to decline, and the slow but growing ramp up of sales of our new product lines. In late 2002 we announced a new line of Multi Port Gigabit Ethernet Adapters. During the last few months, after long sales cycles lasting about a year, we have started to secure design wins with initial orders for products within this line. We expect a similar process with the new TOE/ iSCSI product line that was announced last week. Despite these long sales cycles and the amount of time required for sales to ramp to volume quantities, as each design win produces orders which continuously accumulate one on top of the other we believe that sales of both new lines will eventually compensate for decreasing sales of our legacy products and will become a key driver in the company growth.

Mr. Orbach concluded, “Overall, we are encouraged with our progress as demonstrated by the design wins we have been able to secure as well as with the current status of our marketing efforts. Such progress confirms the technological excellence and market need for our new high-end products. Customers of many types are viewing our adapters as an easy way to achieve an immediate performance gain in their high-traffic networks while reducing network congestion, simplifying network management, providing the highest possible server throughput, and minimizing CPU utilization. We believe each of the design wins and initial orders we announced may lead to others, and continue introducing our products to additional potential customers.”
