IOMEGA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

***

REVENUE INCREASED 46% YEAR OVER YEAR

SAN DIEGO , August 2, 2007 – Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) today reported net revenue of $59.3 million and a net profit of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended July 1, 2007. In comparison, second quarter 2006 net revenue was $40.7 million with a net loss of $10.4 million, or $(0.20) per share. Second quarter net revenue increased $18.7 million, or 46%, from the same quarter last year, primarily due to strong growth in Consumer Storage Solutions and Network Storage Systems. Gross margin for second quarter 2007 was $12.1 million, or 20.5%, as compared to second quarter 2006 gross margin of $6.8 million, or 16.7%.

Included in the second quarter 2007 net income was a net tax benefit of $1.2 million and a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 million. With this goodwill impairment charge, Zip product line goodwill has been completely written off.

Cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments at July 1, 2007 amounted to $75.1 million, a decrease of $1.7 million from the end of the first quarter. This decrease was a result of timing of working capital needs during the quarter as compared to the prior quarter.

“I am pleased with our financial and operational results for the second quarter which is historically our seasonally weakest quarter,” said Jonathan Huberman, Chief Executive Officer. “We posted our fourth consecutive quarter of net income and third consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth; and we continued to execute on our 2007 goals.”

Mr. Huberman continued, “As we look to the remainder of 2007, our goals remain:

• To continue to grow and deliver sustained profitability,
• To further increase the size of our external HDD business,
• To continue to penetrate the high-growth NAS market with new products,
• To ramp the REV 70GB Backup Drive and push for broad market adoption,
• To grow our managed services business, and
• To continue to seek opportunities to leverage Iomega’s assets.”
