Raytheon Reports Strong Third Quarter 2007 Results; Announces New $2.0 Billion Share Repurchase Plan

                                 Highlights
        -- Strong bookings of $6.5 billion; backlog of $33.9 billion
                   -- Sales of $5.4 billion, up 8 percent
   -- Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.69, up 17
                                  percent
                   -- $0.86 excluding Flight Options (1)
             -- Announces agreement to sell Flight Options LLC
             -- Repurchased 8.6 million shares for $500 million

    WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 25, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) reported third quarter 2007 income from continuing
operations of $304 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to $267
million or $0.59 per diluted share in the third quarter 2006. Third quarter
2007 income from continuing operations was higher primarily due to
operational improvements, combined with lower net interest and pension
expense, partially offset by an after-tax impairment charge of $69 million
($84 million pretax) or $0.16 per diluted share in connection with the
disposition process of Flight Options. Third quarter 2007 income from
continuing operations excluding Flight Options was $380 million or $0.86
per diluted share compared to $274 million or $0.61 per diluted share in
the third quarter 2006. (1)
    Raytheon also announced that on October 15, 2007, it entered into a
definitive agreement to sell Flight Options to H.I.G. Capital, a global
private investment firm. This transaction is expected to close in the
fourth quarter 2007.
    "Our program execution, strong backlog and customer focus are driving
the Company's performance and delivering value to our shareholders," said
William H. Swanson, Raytheon Chairman and CEO. "With the pending sale of
Flight Options, going forward our attention will be focused on our core
business, leading technologies and Mission Support to our global
customers."
    Third quarter 2007 net income was $299 million or $0.68 per diluted
share compared to $321 million or $0.71 per diluted share in the third
quarter 2006. Net income for the third quarter 2007 included a $5 million
after-tax loss in discontinued operations or $0.01 per diluted share versus
a $54 million gain or $0.12 in the third quarter 2006. Third quarter 2006
discontinued operations results included Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC),
which was sold by the Company in the second quarter 2007.
    Net sales for the third quarter 2007 were $5.4 billion, up 8 percent
from $4.9 billion in the third quarter 2006 led primarily by Integrated
Defense Systems (IDS), Missile Systems (MS) and Network Centric Systems
(NCS).
    Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter
2007 was $735 million versus $733 million for the third quarter 2006. The
third quarter 2007 included $203 million in cash tax payments versus $53
million in cash tax payments in the third quarter 2006. Of the cash taxes
paid in the third quarter 2007, $157 million was attributable to the gain
on the sale of RAC.
    Year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations was $310
million versus $1,159 million for the comparable period in 2006. The
year-to- date decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to $846
million in cash tax payments ($473 million attributable to the gain on the
sale of RAC) versus $154 million of cash tax payments made in the
comparable period in 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 third quarter 2007, the Company repurchased 8.6 million
shares for $500 million as part of the Company's previously announced share
repurchase program. The Company has repurchased 23.3 million shares of
common stock year-to-date for $1.3 billion.
    The Board of Directors, on October 24, 2007, authorized the repurchase
of up to an additional $2.0 billion of the Company's outstanding common
stock. Share repurchases will take place from time to time at management's
discretion depending on market conditions.
    (1) Income and EPS from continuing operations excluding Flight Options are
        non-GAAP financial measures.  See attachment G for a reconciliation of
        these measures to income and EPS from continuing operations under
        GAAP.  We are providing these non-GAAP measures to provide insight on
        how we expect continuing operations to appear when Flight Options is
        reported as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter 2007.

mission support equipment for the two lead Zumwalt-class destroyers for the
U.S. Navy. IDS also booked $123 million for the Patriot Pure Fleet program

    Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) had third quarter 2007 net sales of
$1,016 million, down 5 percent compared to $1,069 million in the third
quarter 2006, primarily due to lower volume on some airborne systems
programs and a reduction in classified space bookings due to customer
reprioritization. SAS recorded $121 million of operating income compared to
$148 million in the third quarter 2006. Operating income was lower
primarily due to profit adjustments taken on certain programs in both the
third quarter 2006 and 2007 and reduced volume.
    During the quarter, SAS booked over $123 million on a number of classified
contracts.

The Company recorded an after-tax impairment charge of $69 million ($84
million pretax), which includes all of FO's remaining goodwill and a
portion of its intangible assets, as a result of the disposition process.
    On October 15, 2007, Raytheon entered into a definitive agreement to
sell FO to H.I.G. Capital, a global private investment firm. In the fourth
quarter 2007, the Company expects to record an additional after-tax charge
of approximately $45 million, subject to purchase price adjustments, to
write down the net assets of FO to the expected final net sales price. The
Company will present FO as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter
2007 and for all periods presented.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Third 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.

      provide insight on how we expect continuing operations to appear when
      Flight Options is reported as a discontinued operation in the fourth
      quarter 2007.
