ViaSat Reports First Quarter Results, Including Record Revenue and Backlog
     Carlsbad, CA ¾ ViaSat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) today announced record revenues of $100.0 million, new net contract awards of $129.3 million, and backlog of $391.2 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2005. In addition, the company reported net income of $0.22 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.18 per share on a GAAP basis and strong cash flows from operations of $6.8 million.
     “We earned solid financial results and achieved significant business milestones in our first quarter,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. “The MIDS production contract award was our largest ever, and indicates a strong competitive position. Both WildBlue and Telesat of Canada began Ka-band broadband service in North America and we began shipping our DOCSIS(R)-for-satellite production modems in volume. Plus, our strong backlog and continued positive cash flow create a solid foundation going forward.”

ViaSat News
Government Segment
     The Government segment had quarterly revenues of $53.5 million, a 40.6% increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. The revenue growth was primarily related to increased sales of tactical data link products partially offset by reductions in information assurance and mobile satellite communication product sales. New contract awards were $81.3 million, raising the Government segment backlog to over $222 million.
Commercial Segment
     Revenues from our Commercial segment were $47.5 million for the first quarter, which were essentially flat from the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. The Antenna Systems product line revenue of $10.6 million was an increase of 6.3% over the first quarter of last fiscal year. This revenue was offset by a reduction of Satellite Networks product line revenues of 1.4% to $37.0 million from the first quarter of 2005. New contract awards were $48.1 million, raising the Commercial segment backlog to $169 million.
Selected First Quarter 2006 Business Highlights

    Settled an outstanding legal dispute with a subcontractor on our MIDS program for $4.75 million. The pre-tax gain recorded from the settlement was $2.7 million.
 
    Won a development contract to demonstrate how our programmable KG-250 inline network encryptor can enable the U.S. Air Force to meet its current Telemetry Tracking and Control (TT&C) security requirements at lower cost, while providing a simplified growth path to a more network centric TT&C architecture.
 
    Increased sales of our commercial VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) products into joint military networks including a $3.2 million contract to supply our LINKWAY(R) networking system to DataPath for its compact, trailer-based satellite telecommunications earth station for sustained and reliable telecommunications in the field.

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).
