STRONG SHOWING FROM RAYTHEON

STRONG SHOWING FROM RAYTHEON

24 Jul 08. Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) reported second quarter 2008 income from continuing operations of $426m or $1.00 per diluted share compared to $355m or $0.79 per diluted share in the second quarter 2007.
Second quarter 2008 income from continuing operations was higher primarily due to operational improvements and lower pension expense, as well as a prior-year $39m charge ($59m pretax) or $0.09 per diluted
share for the early retirement of debt.

“All of our businesses performed well and the Company had a strong second quarter,” said William H. Swanson, Raytheon’s Chairman and CEO. “We are increasing our financial outlook for the year as a result of our solid performance.”

Second quarter 2008 net income was $426m or $1.00 per diluted share compared to $1,335m or $2.97 per diluted share in the second quarter 2007. Net income for the second quarter 2007 included $980m in discontinued operations or $2.18 per diluted share primarily due to the
sale of Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC), which was completed in the second quarter 2007.

Net sales for the second quarter 2008 were $5.9bn, up 11 percent from $5.3bn in the second quarter 2007, with growth across all of the
Company’s businesses.

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter
2008 was a positive $767m compared to an outflow of $30m for the second quarter 2007. The improvement in the second quarter 2008 was primarily due to cash tax payments of $316 million made in the second quarter 2007 attributable to the gain on the sale of RAC and a reduction in working capital items in the second quarter 2008.

In the second quarter 2008 the Company repurchased 5.2 million shares of common stock for $340m, as part of the Company’s previously announced share repurchase program. The Company has repurchased 10.7 million shares of common stock year-to-date for $680m.
