Exhibit 99.1 VIASAT REPORTS PROFITABLE QUARTER, RECORD REVENUES AND CONTINUED STRONG NEW ORDER FLOW CARLSBAD, CA -- ViaSat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of communication equipment for government and commercial customers, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. Highlights included record revenues in the first quarter of $59.3 million, near record orders for new business in a single quarter of $102.2 million, and a profitable quarter for the company. "ViaSat returned to profitability in the fiscal first quarter, driven by a well balanced backlog of defense and commercial contracts," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "Converting orders to sales, cash and ultimately earnings remains our top priority, and this quarter was evidence the Company is executing on that front. This quarter's results also help illustrate sustained momentum in orders, revenues, cash flows and profitability, which should continue throughout the year. Further, we believe we have an excellent opportunity to increase earnings at an even faster pace than sales over the next several quarters." FINANCIAL RESULTS For the first quarter ended July 4, 2003*, the company reported the following: (In millions, except per share data) Q1 2004 Q1 2003 Revenues $ 59.3 $ 42.9 Actual net income (loss) $0.5 $ (1.6) Per share net income (loss) $ 0.02 $(0.06) Pro forma net income (loss)** $1.6 $ (0.3) Per share pro forma net income (loss)** $ 0.06 $(0.01) Fully diluted weighted average shares 26.9 25.9 New orders/Contract awards $ 102.2 $ 79.7 Sales backlog $ 256.6 $176.2 * 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 in the quarter of $27.5 million, a 36% increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. The revenue increase occurred across its tactical data links, information security and networking, UHF satcom and government broadband businesses, which resulted from record orders in fiscal 2003. New business awards continued to outpace revenue, resulting in a backlog increase of $8 million in the quarter. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT Revenue increased to $31.7 million for the first quarter, a 41% increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2003. Sales increases were achieved in our consumer broadband, mobile broadband (specifically business jets), and VSAT products businesses. New orders in excess of $65 million were received in the quarter, resulting in a backlog increase of over $33 million. SELECT FIRST QUARTER 2004 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS - - Application of key commercial broadband satellite technologies to defense products via an eight-year, delivery order contract from the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) to design and produce the Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM), including an initial purchase valued at $7.8 million. EBEM is intended to be the new military standard for high-speed satellite communications. The new modem supports a comprehensive set of legacy equipment, as well as advanced technologies, such as turbo coding and higher order modulation, to increase efficiency and throughput. - - Total bookings in excess of $18 million for Satellite Ground Systems, including strong follow-on sales to existing customers. The business continued its solid performance in the telemetry market and also landed a significant order for tactical military terminals, signaling a return to this market. - - Continuing growth opportunities for our new line of software programmable military satcom terminals, including an order from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for Phase I of the UHF teleport project. DISA serves the needs of the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Commanders, and the other Department of Defense (DOD) components. - - A firm multi-year order of over $30 million for a Ku band version of our DOCSIS-based consumer broadband satellite network for an international satellite operator.

- - Completed final customer acceptance testing on Comsat Labs' development of the Skyplex broadband multimedia terminal for Eutelsat, a Ka-band version of our DVB-RCS compatible LinkStar(R) broadband VSAT, with production of the first 100 units to follow. - - VSAT products sales and orders continued above expectations. Our LinkStar TDMA VSAT system received customer acceptance certificates on 11 new LinkStar network installations during the quarter, including the 3,200-terminal e-Mexico project. - - Two significant new contracts embedding our tactical information assurance products, as well as definitization of previously announced subcontracts with Boeing and Harris on FAB-T and JTRS. ViaSat produces innovative satellite and other network communication products that enable fast, easy, and efficient communications, especially to remote locations. 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. 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).
