Exhibit 99.1 VIASAT REPORTS RECORD REVENUES, GROWING EARNINGS, STRONG CASH FLOW AND NEW ORDERS CARLSBAD, CA - ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of communication equipment for government and commercial customers, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. Highlights for the quarter included record revenues of $64.3 million, net income of $0.11 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.07 per share on a GAAP basis, and net new orders for the quarter of $88.5 million. "We met or exceeded our objectives for earnings, sales, cash flows and new orders - setting new records for quarterly and year to date revenue as well as backlog," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "Cash flow from operations was especially strong at over $9 million. Operating income and margin continued to improve reflecting higher sales volumes and customer-funded development, lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales due to efficiencies and lower discretionary R&D expenses. Further, we've continued to see progress in our market position across essentially all of our business areas." FINANCIAL RESULTS For the second quarter ended October 3, 2003*, the company reported the following: (In millions, except per FIRST 6 FIRST 6 share data) Q2 2004 Q2 2003 MOS. FY04 MOS. FY03 ----------- ------- ------- --------- --------- Revenues $ 64.3 $ 39.5 $ 123.6 $ 82.4 Net income (loss) $ 1.8 ($ 4.2) $ 2.3 ($ 5.7) Diluted per share net income (loss) $ 0.07 ($ 0.16) $ 0.08 ($ 0.22) Pro forma net income (loss)** $ 3.0 ($ 2.9) $ 4.6 ($ 3.2) Diluted per share pro forma net income (loss)** $ 0.11 ($ 0.11) $ 0.17 ($ 0.12) Weighted average shares 27.3 26.0 27.0 26.0 New orders/Contract awards $ 88.5 $ 63.0 $ 190.8 $ 142.6 Sales backlog $ 280.8 $ 200.0 $ 280.8 $ 200.0 * ViaSat adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year beginning with its fiscal year 2004, which ends on the Friday closest to March 31. ViaSat's quarters for fiscal year 2004 end on July 4, 2003, October 3, 2003, January 2, 2004 and April 2, 2004.

** All non-GAAP pro forma numbers have been adjusted to exclude the effects of acquisition charges (amortization of intangible assets). A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results for these periods is included in the "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations" table on page 5 of this release. A description of our use of non-GAAP information is provided under "Use of Pro Forma Financial Information" below. GOVERNMENT SEGMENT Government Systems recorded record quarterly revenues of $27.6 million, a 68% increase over the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Revenues increased in all of our businesses, including tactical data links, information security and networking, UHF satcom and government broadband. Earnings in the government segment remained strong, but declined somewhat from the second quarter of fiscal year 2003 due to the current sales mix of programs with lower profit margins, including substantial increases in new product development. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT Revenue increased to $36.7 million for the second quarter, a 60% increase over the second quarter of fiscal year 2003. Revenues grew in our commercial broadband, VSAT networks and large antenna systems businesses. Commercial segment earnings were positive for the quarter, reflecting strong and continuing improvement in VSAT networks performance, growth in the broadband area, and steady gains in our antenna business. SELECT SECOND QUARTER 2004 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS - - Government Systems received a $43.8 million delivery order for Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) terminals from The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), San Diego. The order included LVT(1) airborne and LVT(2) ground-based Low Volume Terminals. The MIDS LVT provides secure, high capacity, jam resistant, digital data and voice communications capability for US Navy, US Air Force, and US Army platforms. The ViaSat MIDS terminal completed operational evaluation on the Navy's F/A-18 aircraft and is undergoing flight qualification and test on the Air Force F-16 as well. - - Government Broadband Systems received an initial order in an emerging government market for broadband, bandwidth-on-demand capable, rapidly-deployable satellite terminals. The terminals integrate ViaSat's commercial LINKWAY(R) IP networking into a mobile package for video transmission. The system will be used to quickly and securely transmit imagery from forward areas to headquarters and command locations in the field, as well as back to the U.S.

- - Began development of antenna and information security subsystems for the Navy's new Common Data Link (CDL) System. ViaSat received approximately $13 million in subcontracts from Cubic Corporation. The agreements also contain options to add additional production units. - - Our VSAT Networks business completed installation of a network for The Organizing Committee of the 8th All Africa Games, COJA, to supply LINKWAY multi-protocol broadband VSATs, Skylinx(R) digital telephony VSATs, and antenna systems for communications and video backhaul at the All African Games. The satellite network provided digital communications among four cities and a hub in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, plus a video uplink from Games locations for re-broadcast throughout Africa. - - The Comsat Laboratories business received research and development contracts to further enhance our VSAT products with key feature sets, including an award from U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) to add secure data encryption capability to our LINKWAY satellite networking system. - - We earned significant follow-on orders from key VSAT customers, including Eutelsat and BAIIT (China). ViaSat produces innovative satellite and other network communication products that enable fast, easy, secure, and efficient communications to any location. Products include network security devices, tactical data radios, and communication simulators. ViaSat also has a full line of VSAT products for data and voice applications, and is a market leader in Ka-band satellite systems, from user terminals to large gateways. ViaSat has locations in Carlsbad, CA, and Norcross, GA, along with its Comsat Laboratories division based in Clarksburg, MD. Additional field offices are located in Marlborough, MA, Washington DC/Baltimore, Australia, China, India, and Italy. In addition, ViaSat's wholly-owned subsidiary, U.S. Monolithics, designs and produces monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and modules for use in broadband communications. U.S. Monolithics is based in Chandler, Arizona. NOTE: ViaSat Inc. will host a conference call to discuss these FY2004 Second Quarter Earnings at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, November 6, 2003.

USE OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pro forma net income (loss) excludes the effects of acquisition charges (amortization of intangible assets). Pro forma net income is provided to enhance the overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the pro forma results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported pro forma results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of pro forma numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these adjusted pro forma results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See the "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations" table for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to pro forma net income (loss). Pro forma as presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
