   - Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.79, up 30
                                  percent
                   - Sales of $5.4 billion, up 9 percent
         - Increases full-year guidance for EPS, bookings and ROIC

             - Repurchased 9.6 million shares for $526 million

    WALTHAM, Mass., July 26, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) reported second quarter 2007 income from continuing
operations of $356 million or $0.79 per diluted share compared to $276
million or $0.61 per diluted share in the second quarter 2006. Second
quarter 2007 income from continuing operations was higher primarily due to
operational improvements, combined with lower net interest and pension
expense. As previously announced, second quarter 2007 income from
continuing operations included a $39 million charge ($59 million pretax) or
$0.09 per diluted share for the early redemption of $1.0 billion of debt.
    "We are very pleased with the Company's solid operating performance in
the first half of 2007, along with the significant wins during the quarter
on Navy Multiband Terminal and Warfighter FOCUS programs, which represent a
potential of $12 billion over the life of these programs," said William H.
Swanson, Raytheon's Chairman and CEO. "Our strong operational improvements
allow us to increase our 2007 guidance for full-year EPS and bookings."
    Second quarter 2007 net income was $1,335 million or $2.97 per diluted
share compared to $310 million or $0.69 per diluted share in the second
quarter 2006. Net income for the second quarter 2007 included $979 million
in discontinued operations or $2.18 per diluted share of which $986 million
was attributable to the gain on the sale of Raytheon Aircraft Company
(RAC), which was completed in the second quarter. The sale resulted in
after-tax net proceeds of approximately $2.4 billion.
    Net sales for the second quarter 2007 were $5.4 billion, up 9 percent
from $5.0 billion in the second quarter 2006 led by Integrated Defense
Systems (IDS), Missile Systems (MS) and Network Centric Systems (NCS).
    Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter
2007 was an outflow of $46 million versus a positive $474 million for the
second quarter 2006. The second quarter 2007 included $589 million in cash
tax payments versus $101 million in cash tax payments paid in the second
quarter 2006. Of the cash taxes paid in the second quarter 2007, $316
million was attributable to the gain on the sale of RAC.
    Year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations was an
outflow of $425 million versus a positive $426 million for the comparable
period in 2006. The year-to-date decrease in operating cash flow was
primarily due to $643 million in cash tax payments ($316 million
attributable to the gain on the sale of RAC) in the first half 2007 versus
$101 million of cash tax payments made in the first half 2006 combined with
the $400 million discretionary cash contribution made to the Company's
pension plans in the first quarter 2007 versus the $200 million
discretionary cash contribution made in the first quarter 2006.
    During the second quarter 2007, the Company repurchased 9.6 million
shares for $526 million as part of the Company's previously announced share
repurchase program. The Company has repurchased 14.7 million shares of
common stock year-to-date for $801 million.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Second Quarter 2007

    We define ROIC as income from continuing operations plus after-tax net
    interest expense plus one-third of operating lease expense after-tax
    (estimate of interest portion of operating lease expense) divided by
    average invested capital after capitalizing operating leases (operating
    lease expense times a multiplier of 8), adding financial guarantees less
    net investment in Discontinued Operations, and adding back the cumulative
    minimum pension liability/impact of FAS 158. ROIC is not a measure of
    financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles
    (GAAP) and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the
    same manner. ROIC should be considered supplemental to and not a
    substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We
    use ROIC as a measure of efficiency and effectiveness of our use of
    capital and as an element of management compensation.
