(VIASAT LOGO) NEWS May 12, 2005 Contact: Heather Ferrante ViaSat Inc. 760-476-2633 www.viasat.com VIASAT ANNOUNCES RECORD ORDERS, REVENUES, AND EARNINGS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005 CARLSBAD, CA -- ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a provider of networking and communication equipment for government and commercial customers, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2005. Highlights include fiscal year records for revenues of $345.9 million, net income of $0.83 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.68 per share on a GAAP basis, and new business orders totaling $426.2 million. In addition, the fiscal fourth quarter results include record quarter totals for revenues of $90.9 million, new orders of $129.5 million, and net income of $0.27 per share on a pro forma basis or $0.24 per share on a GAAP basis. "Sustained strength in new orders continues to drive record financial performance," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "Earnings, earnings per share, and new orders all met or exceeded our targets, while product mix and non-recurring events somewhat restricted operating margins. Year over year pre-tax earnings growth outpaced revenue growth for the fourth quarter and for all of fiscal year 2005 - despite a substantial one-time benefit in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. The company also generated $8 million in operating cash flow this quarter. Given our substantial backlog and new product positions, the outlook for sustained and record growth in revenues, earnings, and orders and strong cash flow in fiscal year 2006 seems very favorable." FINANCIAL RESULTS For the fourth quarter ended April 1, 2005(1), the Company reported the following: (In millions, except per share data) Q4 2005 Q4 2004 FY 2005 FY 2004 ------------------------------------ ------- ------- ------- ------- Revenues $ 90.9 $ 83.2 $ 345.9 $ 278.6 Net income $ 6.7 $ 3.8 $ 19.3 $ 13.2 (3) Diluted per share net income $ 0.24 $ 0.13 $ 0.68 $ 0.48 (3) Pro forma net income (2) $ 7.6 $ 5.0 $ 23.3 $ 17.9 (3) Diluted per share pro forma net income (2) $ 0.27 $ 0.18 $ 0.83 $ 0.65 (3) Weighted average shares diluted 28.2 28.4 28.1 27.6 New orders/Contract awards $ 129.5 $ 73.2 $ 426.2 $ 346.6 Sales backlog $ 361.9 $ 281.6 $ 361.9 $ 281.6 (1) ViaSat uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year which ends on the Friday closest to March 31. ViaSat quarters for fiscal year 2005 ended on July 2, 2004, October 1, 2004, December 31, 2004 and April 1, 2005. --more--

VIASAT NEWS 2 (2) 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 contained in this release. A description of our use of non-GAAP information is provided under "Use of Pro Forma Financial Information" below. (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 quarterly revenues of $47.7 million and record annual revenues of $175.4 million, a 20.4% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 and a 36.9% increase over the prior fiscal year. 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 $46.0 million for the fourth quarter and a record $177.4 million for the fiscal year. These figures represent a 0.9% increase over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 and an increase of 14.9% over fiscal year 2004. The increase in commercial segment revenues is primarily from our enterprise VSAT networks and broadband product areas. SELECTED FISCAL YEAR 2005 HIGHLIGHTS - - Earned record new orders of $117 million for tactical data link products, including Multi-functional Information Distribution System (MIDS) terminal production and development of the next generation Joint Tactical Radio System version of MIDS. - - Completed National Security Agency (NSA) certification and began shipments of the KG-250 Inline Network Encryptor. This is our first programmable product based on the DoD HAIPIS (High Assurance IP Interoperability Specification) standard and ViaSat's PSIAM (Programmable, Scalable Information Assurance Model) architecture. Our HAIPIS and PSIAM achievements provide a strong position for continued growth in the emerging Crypto Modernization market. - - Received awards for 6,500 second generation UHF satellite modems from Raytheon. These are used in AN/PSC-5C and AN/PSC-5D portable satellite terminals, the Tactical Tomahawk cruise missile, and other multi-band terminals. - - Won a significantly growing share of the VSAT IP networking market including sales to service providers and enterprise users. Cumulative shipments of LinkStar VSAT terminals surpassed 50,000 during FY05. --more--

VIASAT NEWS 3 - - Achieved major milestones in product development and initial deployments for our Ka-band DOCSIS(R)- based consumer broadband networks. Cumulative orders for Ka and Ku band DOCSIS satellite broadband terminals have reached approximately 200,000 units. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Company disclosed a material weakness related to significant and non-routine transactions. Please see related disclosures in the third quarter Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ViaSat has implemented the remediation steps outlined in its third quarter Form 10-Q disclosure including hiring additional finance and accounting personnel, establishing certain policies and procedures and conducting training. However, as of this release, the Company has not concluded its fiscal year-end assessment of internal controls, including testing of the remediated policies and procedures. ViaSat produces innovative satellite and other network communication products that enable fast, secure, and efficient communications to any location. 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, Spain, and Italy. In addition, ViaSat's wholly-owned subsidiary, US Monolithics, designs and produces MMICs and modules for use in broadband communications. US Monolithics is based in Chandler, Arizona.

USE OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pro forma net income excludes the effects of acquisition charges (amortization of intangible assets).

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 --more--

VIASAT NEWS 4 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.
