Exhibit 99.1 (VIASAT (R) LOGO) News August 3, 2004 Contact: Bruce Rowe ViaSat Inc. 760-476-2505 www.viasat.com VIASAT REPORTS RECORD REVENUES, EARNINGS GROWTH AND CONTINUED STRONG NEW ORDER FLOW CARLSBAD, CA -- ViaSat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of communication systems for government and commercial customers, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Highlights included record revenues in the first quarter of $84.2 million, near record orders for new business in a single quarter of $101.9 million, and earnings growth for the company. "ViaSat is off to a strong start in fiscal 2005 from both the financial performance and business environment perspectives," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "We set new records for revenue and backlog while almost tripling pro forma earnings compared with the same period last year, and we also launched important new commercial and defense products that we anticipate to contribute to our results in the years ahead." FINANCIAL RESULTS For the first quarter ended July 2, 2004*, the company reported the following: (In millions, except per share data) Q1 2005 Q1 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ 84.2 $ 59.3 Actual net income (loss) $ 3.6 $ 0.5 Per share net income (loss) $ 0.13 $ 0.02 Pro forma net income (loss)** $ 4.7 $ 1.6 Per share pro forma net income (loss)** $ 0.17 $ 0.06 Fully diluted weighted average shares 28.3 26.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- New orders/Contract awards $ 101.9 $ 102.2 Sales backlog $ 299.3 $ 256.6 * ViaSat uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year which ends on the Friday closest to March 31.

VIASAT News 2 GOVERNMENT SEGMENT The Government segment had quarterly revenues of $38.1 million, a 39% increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. New contract awards exceeded $63 million. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to increases in our tactical data links, information assurance and government broadband business areas. COMMERCIAL SEGMENT Revenue increased to $47.4 million for the first quarter, a 46% increase over the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. Revenue increases resulted from growth in our consumer broadband, enterprise VSAT networks and large antenna systems businesses. The commercial segment posted nearly $39 million in new contract awards during the quarter. SELECT FIRST QUARTER 2005 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS - - Received our largest single award for Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) terminals of $47.2 million, including both LVT(1) airborne and LVT(2) ground-based terminals. - - Order for 225 Tactical EBEMs (Enhanced Bandwidth Efficient Modem) for the Navy. This is the first order for tactical units and brings our total backlog to 956 units (including 36 test units). - - Follow-on award from Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB) of approximately $4.7 million, including both antenna systems and information security products, for the Communications Data Link System (CDLS). The order resulted from exercised options under a five-year contract between ViaSat and Cubic, and added 14 more antenna systems to the initial order. - - Continued to build backlog for our SurfBeam consumer broadband system, including a new contract with Telesat Canada. Telesat's plan to offer broadband service throughout Canada took a big step forward with the recent successful launch of the Anik F2 satellite with Ka-band spot beams. - - Our LinkStar(R) broadband VSAT continued its strong sales with a record 5,800 units shipped for the quarter, including major new network installations for distance learning in Honduras and Malaysia, along with travel center Wi-Fi hot spots and retail furniture stores in the U.S. In addition, the LinkStar system completed a series of tests, which showed compliance with the international DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcast - Return Channel Satellite) open standard. The joint testing with European partner Eutelsat S.A. was based on a test plan authored by SatLabs, a forum comprising several equipment manufacturers chartered by the European Space Agency (ESA) to promote DVB-RCS interoperability. --more--

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). --more--
