WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon Company announced fourth quarter 2008 adjusted income from continuing operations of $466 million or $1.13 per diluted share, compared to $420 million or $0.96 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2007(1). Reported fourth quarter 2008 income from continuing operations was $421 million or $1.02 per diluted share compared to $634 million or $1.45 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2007. Fourth quarter 2008 income from continuing operations included a $45 million or $0.11 per diluted share unfavorable adjustment due to the impact of pension investment returns on existing contracts (the "CAS Pension Adjustment"). Fourth quarter 2007 income from continuing operations included a $214 million or $0.49 per diluted share favorable adjustment due to tax-related benefits.

"Raytheon had a successful 2008 with strong bookings, a record backlog and solid growth in sales and operating income," said William H. Swanson, Raytheon Chairman and CEO. "Our advanced technologies, program performance and diverse portfolio of products and services are uniquely suited to meet customer requirements and position us well for the future."

Net sales in the fourth quarter 2008 were $6.1 billion compared to $6.0 billion in the fourth quarter 2007. The Company's solid sales performance in the fourth quarter 2008 was achieved with 3 fewer work days than the fourth quarter 2007.

The Company continued to generate solid operating cash flow in the fourth quarter 2008. Operating cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter 2008 was $444 million compared to $941 million in the fourth quarter 2007. The change was primarily due to $381 million in tax refunds in the fourth quarter 2007. The Company also made $160 million more in discretionary cash contributions to its pension plans in the fourth quarter 2008 ($660 million in 2008 compared to $500 million in 2007).

The Company ended the year with $50 million of net debt. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Full-Year Financial Results

Full-year 2008 adjusted income from continuing operations was $1.7 billion or $4.06 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 billion or $3.31 per diluted share in 2007(2). Reported full-year 2008 income from continuing operations was $1.7 billion or $3.95 per diluted share compared to $1.7 billion or $3.80 per diluted share in 2007. Full-year 2008 income from continuing operations included the $45 million or $0.11 per diluted share unfavorable CAS Pension Adjustment. Full-year 2007 income from continuing operations included a $219 million or $0.49 per diluted share favorable adjustment due to tax-related benefits.

2008 net sales were $23.2 billion compared to $21.3 billion in 2007, an increase of 9 percent. All of Raytheon's businesses contributed to the Company's sales growth.

The Company generated excellent operating cash flow for the year. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $2.0 billion in 2008 compared to $1.2 billion in 2007. The increase in operating cash flow in 2008 was primarily due to a reduction in working capital items, lower net cash tax payments and lower discretionary cash contributions made to the Company's pension plans. The Company paid $448 million in net cash taxes in 2008, compared to $734 million in 2007 (which included $631 million in tax payments attributable to the gain on the sale of Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) and $381 million in tax refunds). The Company also made $660 million in discretionary cash contributions to its pension plans in 2008 compared to $900 million in 2007.

As part of its previously announced share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 14.1 million shares of common stock for $680 million in the fourth quarter 2008 and 30.7 million shares for $1.7 billion for the year.

    * Preliminary Adjusted Summary Financial Results include non-GAAP
    financial measures which exclude the impact of certain items noted below.
    The 2008 adjusted measures exclude the $69 million pre-tax, $45 million
    after-tax, or $0.11 per diluted share unfavorable adjustment due to the
    impact of pension investment returns on existing contracts. Fourth
    quarter and full-year 2007 adjusted income and EPS from continuing
    operations exclude a favorable adjustment of $214 million or $0.49 per
    diluted share and $219 million or $0.49 per diluted share, respectively,
    due to certain tax-related benefits.  See attachment G for a
    reconciliation of these measures to the comparable GAAP measures and a
    discussion of why the Company is presenting this information.

    ** Net income in 2007 included $885 million or $1.99 per diluted share in
    discontinued operations primarily from Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC)
    and Flight Options (FO) which were sold in 2007.

    Preliminary Return on Invested Capital Non-GAAP
     Financial Measure
    Fourth Quarter 2008



    We define Return on Invested Capital (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 impact of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
    158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
    Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 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.

    This Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures in Preliminary Statement of
    Operations Information includes certain non-GAAP financial measures
    under the "Adjusted" columns and sets forth a reconciliation of such
    measures to the comparable GAAP measure under the "GAAP" column.  The
    non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and
    not a substitute for financial performance in accordance with GAAP.
    We use the adjusted measures to facilitate management's internal
    comparisons to the Company's historical operating results, to
    competitors' operating results, and to provide greater transparency to
    investors of supplemental information used by management in its
    financial and operational decision-making, including management's
    evaluation of the Company's operating performance.  The 2008 adjusted
    measures exclude an unfavorable adjustment to reflect the impact of the
    increase in estimated future pension costs on existing contracts
    recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 (the "CAS Pension Adjustment").
    Pension costs as calculated under the U.S. Government Cost Accounting
    Standards (CAS) are a component of our estimated costs to complete each
    of our contracts.  On an annual basis, we update our estimate of
    future CAS pension costs based upon actual asset returns and other
    actuarial factors.  When these estimated future costs increase, which
    occurred at December 31, 2008 driven mainly by the significant decline
    in the value of our pension assets, the estimated costs to complete each
    existing contract increases.  The amounts of revenue and profit which are
    recognizable based upon our estimated percent complete and expected
     margins on our contracts, principally on our fixed price contracts, were
    reduced.  In the fourth quarter, we recorded a cumulative catch-up
    adjustment for this reduction in revenue and profit of $69 million pretax,
    $45 million after-tax or $0.11 per diluted share as part of Corporate and
    Eliminations consistent with our internal management reporting and
    performance evaluation.  The components of the CAS Pension Adjustment by
    business are as follows:  IDS - $20 million, IIS - $7 million, MS - $14
    million, NCS - $12 million, SAS - $12 million and TS - $4 million. Fourth
    quarter and full-year 2007 adjusted income and EPS from continuing
    operations exclude a favorable adjustment of $214 million or $0.49 per
    diluted share and $219 million or $0.49 per diluted share, respectively,
    due to certain tax-related benefits.
