EXHIBIT 99.1 (VIASAT NEWS) May 12, 2004 Contact: Bruce Rowe ViaSat Inc. 760-476-2505 www.viasat.com VIASAT REPORTS RECORD NEW BUSINESS ORDERS, REVENUES AND NET INCOME FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004 CARLSBAD, CA -- ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of communication equipment for government and commercial customers, today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2004. ViaSat concludes its fiscal year 2004 with a number of company records including fourth quarter revenues of $83.2 million, annual revenues of $278.6 million, annual new orders of $346.6 million, annual net income of $13.2 million, and annual cash flow from operations of over $28 million. "Fiscal 2004 was very satisfying for ViaSat as we achieved or exceeded all of the ambitious objectives we set out at the beginning of the year," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "But, we believe our year ending competitive position is even more important than the financial accomplishments. Our substantial backlog, continued strong order flow in both commercial and government markets, wealth of funded R&D, strong balance sheet, and roster of new products all contribute to our confidence in achieving another record year in fiscal 2005." The Company also announced that it is revising the presentation of costs incurred for its Immeon joint venture for fiscal years 2003 through 2001. The restatement will have no impact at all on previously reported revenues, net income, earnings per share, assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity for the periods presented. Subsequently, the Company intends to file an amendment to extend its universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional details on these two topics are provided later in this release. FINANCIAL RESULTS For the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 2, 2004*, the Company reported the following: (In millions, except share data) Q4 2004 Q4 2003 FY 2004 FY 2003 - -------------------------------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Revenues $ 83.2 $ 53.7 $ 278.6 $ 185.0 Actual net income (loss) $ 3.8 ($ 1.3) $ 13.2 ($ 9.6) Per share net income (loss) $ 0.13 ($ 0.05) $ 0.48 ($ 0.37) Pro forma net income (loss)** $ 5.0 ($ 0.0) $ 17.9 ($ 4.6) Per share pro forma net income (loss)** $ 0.18 ($ 0.00) $ 0.65 ($ 0.18) Weighted average shares 28.4 26.1 27.6 26.0 New orders / Contract awards $ 73.2 $ 59.7 $ 346.6 $ 259.2 Sales backlog $ 281.6 $ 213.6 $ 281.6 $ 213.6 --more--

(VIASAT SMALL LOGO) 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 ended 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 6 of this release. A description of our use of non-GAAP information is provided under "Use of Pro Forma Financial Information" below. Note: In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, ViaSat recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $3.8 million as a result of its settlement of litigation with Scientific-Atlanta relating to the acquisition of the Scientific-Atlanta satellite networks business in April 2000, which is net of specific assets claimed and legal costs. This one-time gain added approximately $0.14 per share to the results on a fully diluted and pro forma basis. GOVERNMENT SEGMENT Government Systems recorded quarterly revenues of $39.6 million and fiscal year revenues of $128.1 million. These amounts represent a 77% increase over the fourth quarter revenues of fiscal year 2003 and a 56% increase over fiscal year 2003 revenues and were in large part a result of the $170.5 million in government segment awards received during the fiscal year. Record revenues were achieved in fiscal year 2004 in the Tactical Data Links, Information and Network Security, Mobile Satellite Systems and Government Broadband business areas. With a strong mix of customer funded development and production orders in backlog of $142.4 million as of year end, we believe the Government Systems segment is well positioned for continued growth into next fiscal year. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT The Commercial segment recorded record quarterly revenues of $43.6 million and fiscal year revenues of $150.5 million. These figures represent a 39% increase over revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003 and a 47% increase over fiscal year 2003 revenues. Record revenues were achieved in fiscal year 2004 in the VSAT Networks and Satellite Ground Systems businesses. The strong revenue growth in the commercial segment reflects improved competitive positioning, more favorable market conditions in the commercial telecommunication market for our VSAT Networks systems, record awards in our large antenna systems business, and the further development and deployment of our in-flight and consumer satellite broadband internet systems. SELECT FISCAL YEAR 2004 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS - - New contract awards for the year of approximately $83 million for our Tactical Data Link products, including a $30 million contract for Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) LVT(1) --more--

Continued progress in the North American VSAT market, the world's largest, highlighted by our first award for the U.S. lottery market from Intralot. - - US Monolithics earned its first positive operating margin in the fourth quarter as a result of a combination of new business from both defense and commercial customers. - - Significant increase in new business orders for the Comsat Laboratories business in the fourth quarter due to U.S. Department of Defense development contracts from major defense prime contractors for transformational communication systems. - - Continued success in winning new orders for our Government Broadband business, led by development and follow-on orders for the Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem (EBEM), and success in migrating our commercial IP, bandwidth-on-demand VSAT products into networks for joint coalition operations in Iraq. - - Our large antenna systems business posted fiscal year 2004 orders close to $50 million and earned strategic positions in the large range upgrade, telemetry and missile defense markets. - - ViaSat's recognition by several sources for its outstanding performance during the year, both in terms of financial performance and growing industry stature. Two highlights were BUSINESS 2.0 magazine ranking the Company No. 8 on its list of the "100 Fastest Growing Tech Companies" and CEO Mark Dankberg's selection as "Satellite Executive of the Year" for 2003 by VIA SATELLITE magazine, the VSAT industry's leading trade publication. REVISING PRIOR PRESENTATION OF COSTS INCURRED FOR JOINT VENTURE As indicated above, the Company announced that it will file an amended Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to revise the previous presentation of costs incurred for its Immeon Networks, LLC joint venture. ViaSat will restate amounts in fiscal years 2003, 2002, and 2001 previously recorded as "Equity in loss of joint venture" to "Cost of revenues" in the Statement of Operations and also reflect the related impact in the Statement of Cash Flows. These revisions will not affect ViaSat's previously reported revenues, net income, earnings per share, assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity for the periods presented. A summary of the financial information related to this restatement is provided at the end of this release. --more--

(VIASAT SMALL LOGO) 4 PLANNED SHELF AMENDMENT The Company intends to file an amendment to extend its universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the next fiscal quarter. Once declared effective by the SEC, the amended universal shelf on Form S-3 will permit ViaSat, from time to time, to sell securities for proceeds in an aggregate amount of up to $200 million. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

USE OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pro forma net income (loss) excludes the effect of acquisition related 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. --more--

(VIASAT SMALL LOGO) 5 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. Pro forma net income (loss) as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See the "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations" table for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to pro forma net income (loss).
