Raytheon Reports Strong Second Quarter 2006 Results and Increases Full-year Guidance

                                 Highlights
* EPS from continuing operations of $0.69, up 35 percent * Strong operating
   cash flow; net debt at $3.1 billion, lowest in over 10 years * Strong
 bookings of $5.5 billion; sales of $5.7 billion, up 6 percent * Increases
   full-year guidance for EPS, operating cash flow, and ROIC * Announces
  decision to explore strategic alternatives for Raytheon Aircraft Company

    WALTHAM, Mass., July 27, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) reported second quarter 2006 income from continuing
operations of $311 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to $233
million or $0.51 per diluted share in the second quarter 2005. Second
quarter 2006 income from continuing operations was higher primarily due to
improved operating results at the Company's Government and Defense
businesses. The second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations
included a $34 million or $0.05 per diluted share favorable adjustment
related to the final valuation of warrants issued in the quarter in
connection with the 2004 settlement of a class action shareholder lawsuit
and a $7 million or $0.01 per diluted share charge related to the tentative
settlement of ERISA litigation filed in 2003.
    "We continue to be pleased with our operating performance and our
positive outlook for the remainder of 2006," said William H. Swanson,
Raytheon's Chairman and CEO. "The team remains focused on providing our
customers with the best-in-class solutions and enhancing shareholder
value."
    Second quarter 2006 net income was $310 million or $0.69 per diluted
share compared to $201 million or $0.44 per diluted share in the second
quarter 2005. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 included a $32
million after-tax loss in discontinued operations or $0.07 per diluted
share primarily attributable to foreign tax related matters.
    Net sales for the second quarter 2006 were $5.7 billion, up 6 percent
from $5.4 billion in the second quarter 2005. Government and Defense sales
for the quarter (after the elimination of intercompany sales) increased 5
percent to $4.8 billion from $4.5 billion in the second quarter 2005.
Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) sales for the quarter increased 8 percent
to $745 million from $687 million in the second quarter 2005.
    Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter
2006 was $439 million versus $820 million for the second quarter 2005, a
decrease primarily due to higher collections in the prior year's same
period that resulted from a financial system implementation in the first
quarter 2005. Year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations
was $444 million versus $546 million for the comparable period in 2005, a
decrease primarily due to higher 2006 cash tax payments.
    Net debt was $3.1 billion at the end of the second quarter 2006
compared with $3.3 billion at the end of 2005 and $4.6 billion at the end
of the second quarter 2005. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and
cash equivalents. During the second quarter 2006, the Company retired $408
million of subordinated notes payable.
    The Company is also announcing that it intends to explore strategic
alternatives for Raytheon Aircraft Company, which may include among others,
a potential sale of the business, an initial public offering or spin-off to
shareholders or some combination thereof. There can be no assurance that a
transaction involving RAC will occur. The Company currently anticipates
that any such transaction will not involve Flight Options LLC or Raytheon
Airline Aviation Services LLC, the Company's commuter aircraft business.
The Company has retained Credit Suisse to serve as its financial advisor
and assist it in this process. As a matter of policy, the Company will not
comment upon any proposals received or any rumors relating to any of the
foregoing.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Second Quarter 2006


    Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a "non-GAAP" financial measure under
    SEC regulations.  The Company defines 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 the operating
    lease expense), divided by average invested capital after capitalizing
    operating leases (operating lease expense times a multiplier of 8) and
    adding financial guarantees.  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. The Company uses ROIC to
    make the most efficient and effective use of capital and as an element of
    management incentive compensation.
