Raytheon Reports Second Quarter Earnings from Continuing Operations of $0.28 per Share; Backlog up 20 Percent to a Record $25.6 Billion

    LEXINGTON, Mass., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company
(NYSE: RTNA, RTNB) today reported second quarter 2000 sales from continuing
operations of $4.1 billion, compared with sales of $4.6 billion in the second
quarter of 1999.  Sales were down year over year, as expected.  Divestitures
accounted for $136 million of the decline year over year.  The remainder
reflects lower volume in missiles and missile defense systems.  Income from
continuing operations for the quarter was $95 million, or $0.28 per diluted
share, compared with $277 million, or $0.81 per diluted share in the second
quarter of 1999.
    As previously announced, the company completed the sale of its engineering
and construction unit.  The impact of the sale in the second quarter was a $46
million loss on disposal of discontinued operations.  Net income for the
second quarter of 2000 was $49 million, or  $0.14 per diluted share, versus
$290 million, or $0.84 per diluted share the previous year.
    The company's backlog from continuing operations at the end of the quarter
was a record $25.6 billion, up 20 percent compared with $21.2 billion a year
earlier.  Backlog was up 4 percent from $24.6 billion at the end of the first
quarter, on bookings of $5.1 billion during the second quarter of 2000.
    Operating cash flow was moderately negative for the quarter, a $31 million
requirement, including a $167 million use of cash in discontinued operations.
This was driven by strong cash collections in the company's defense
businesses.  Net debt at the end of the second quarter was $10.1 billion.
    "For the year-to-date, cash outflow was better than planned, reflecting
efforts throughout the company to improve working capital management and focus
on the fundamentals of the business," said Daniel P. Burnham, Raytheon's
chairman and chief executive officer.  "Our increasing backlog gives us
confidence in our revenue growth outlook for 2001 and beyond.  While we are
generally pleased with our performance for the quarter, we recognize that
there is still work to be done.  Throughout the organization, we will continue
to emphasize meeting commitments to our customers and to our shareholders."

    Electronic Systems
    Electronic Systems (ES) reported sales of $1.8 billion for the quarter,
versus $2.1 billion a year ago.  Volume was down in missiles and missile
defense systems, as expected.  ES reported operating income of $209 million,
compared with $345 million in the prior year.  Factors contributing to the
decline in operating income included lower volume, adverse mix and certain
non-recurring items which, on balance, benefited 1999.
    Significant business wins in the quarter included booking of $756 million
for the engineering and manufacturing development phase of Theater High
Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) ground-based radar.  The company also won a $118
million contract from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command for STANDARD Missile-
2 production and upgrades.
    ES had backlog of $11.9 billion at the end of the second quarter, compared
with $9.1 billion a year ago.

    Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems
    Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems (C3I) reported
sales of $846 million for the second quarter of 2000, versus $988 million in
the same quarter of 1999.  Sales were lower due to the sale of the flight
simulator business and the planned wind-down of certain international
projects.  For the full year, sales are likely to be down due to the flight
simulator divestiture and delays in international orders.  C3I had operating
income of $93 million, compared with $148 million a year ago.  The decline in
operating income was driven by lower volume and certain non-recurring items in
1999.
    Raytheon booked $150 million in the quarter as part of a Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) contract to incorporate modifications to the Standard
Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS).  The company is under contract
to develop and install STARS at 172 FAA terminal area control facilities and
up to 199 military radar approach control facilities over the next decade.
    C3I's backlog at the end of the quarter totaled $4.8 billion, compared
with $5.7 billion at the close of the second quarter of 1999.  The decrease is
due entirely to an adjustment to bookings in the fourth quarter of 1999
related to a large commercial contract awarded in the first quarter of 1999.

    Technical Services
    Technical Services (TS) had second quarter 2000 sales of $466 million,
compared with $501 million in the year-ago quarter.  Operating income for the
unit was $38 million, compared with $42 million in the second quarter of 1999.
The sale of the flight simulator business in the first quarter 2000 had an
unfavorable impact on both sales and operating income in the 2000 second
quarter, compared with the prior year.
    TS had backlog of $1.7 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with
$1.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 1999.

    Aircraft Integration Systems
    Aircraft Integration Systems (AIS) recorded second quarter 2000 sales of
$303 million, compared with $288 million in the 1999 second quarter.  Sales
from the Airborne Standoff Radar (ASTOR) contract accounted for the increase
during the quarter.  AIS had operating income of $31 million in the second
quarter 2000 and in the second quarter of 1999.
    AIS had backlog of  $2.1 billion at the end of the second quarter,
compared with $1.0 billion at the end of the second quarter 1999.  The
increase is primarily due to the ASTOR program, which was booked in the fourth
quarter of 1999.

    Commercial Electronics
    Commercial Electronics (CE) recorded sales of $155 million in the second
quarter, compared with $206 million a year ago.  The decline in sales was due
primarily to the divestiture of Cedarapids Inc. in the third quarter of 1999.
CE recorded an operating loss of $9 million in the second quarter of 2000,
compared with operating income of $7 million in the second quarter of 1999.
Operating income was down due primarily to the divestiture of Cedarapids,
volume shortfalls at Raytheon Marine's High Seas division, and investments in
new technology ventures transferred from defense electronics to commercial
electronics.
    CE had backlog of $0.7 billion at the end of the 2000 second quarter,
compared with $0.6 billion a year ago.

    Raytheon Aircraft Company
    Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) had second quarter sales of $810 million,
compared with $742 million a year ago.  The increase was driven by higher
deliveries, with 145 aircraft shipped in the quarter.  Operating income was
$35 million, compared with $69 million a year ago.  Despite higher sales,
operating income was down primarily due to pricing pressure on commuter
aircraft, the sale of finance receivables, narrower spreads on customer
financing due to higher interest rates, and SAP implementation costs.
    In May, Raytheon agreed to sell up to $800 million of general aviation and
corporate aviation finance receivables generated at RAC to debis Capital
Services, a business unit of DaimlerChrysler Services (debis) AG, to reduce
off-balance-sheet debt at RAC.  During the quarter, the company completed the
sale of approximately $350 million of receivables under the agreement.  Under
a separate agreement, Raytheon and debis entered into a financing partnership
designed to leverage debis' financial capabilities to support RAC customers
worldwide.
    RAC had backlog of $4.3 billion at the end of the second quarter, compared
with $3.4 billion a year ago.
    Raytheon Company is a global technology leader that provides products and
services in the areas of commercial and defense electronics and business and
