ViaSat Announces Record Orders, Revenues, and Earnings
Carlsbad, CA ¾ ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of communication equipment for government and commercial customers, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Highlights include record fiscal year-to-date new business orders of $296.7 million, revenues of $255.0 million and net income of $0.56 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.45 per share on a GAAP basis. In addition, the fiscal third quarter results include record new orders of $107.5 million and revenues of $88.2 million. The Company also reported net income of $0.22 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.19 per share on a GAAP basis.
“Strong awards and sales keep us comfortably on track to meet our objectives for fiscal 2005,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. “Pro forma EPS was up 38% in the fiscal third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, excluding the 14 cent gain in fiscal 2004 from a legal settlement. Our government segment, for the first time in almost five years, had greater quarterly revenues than our commercial segment. This performance reflects the balance we like to have across our business, while the growth in both segments reflects underlying strength in demand for our technologies.”

For the third quarter ended December 31, 2004,1 the Company reported the following:

3 In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company reached a legal settlement related to the purchase of the Satellite Networks businesses of Scientific-Atlanta. The results reflect an after-tax gain of $3.8 million or $0.14 per share on a GAAP and pro forma basis, related to this settlement.
Government Segment
The Government segment recorded record quarterly and nine-month revenues of $48.6 million and $127.7 million, respectively, a 45.9% increase over the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 and a 44.3% increase over the prior nine-month period. The increase in revenues is primarily from our tactical data links and networking and information assurance systems and products.
Commercial Segment
For the Commercial segment, revenue increased to $41.1 million for the third quarter and $131.4 million year-to-date. These figures represent a 4.6% increase over the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 and an increase of 20.8% over the first nine months of fiscal year 2004. The increase in commercial segment revenues is primarily from our enterprise VSAT networks business.

Use of Pro Forma Financial Information

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 to pro forma net income. Pro forma as presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
