DRS Leonardo DRS, Inc.

DRS Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: DRS) today reported record financial results for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter and year, which ended March 31, 2008. Results for both periods included higher revenues, operating income, net earnings and earnings per share than the same periods a year earlier. For fiscal 2008, the company secured a record $3.86 billion in new contract awards and ended the period with funded backlog of $3.61 billion. �DRS completed fiscal 2008 with record financial results across the board for the fourth quarter, including a new high for a fourth quarter in organic revenue growth and robust bookings,� said Mark S. Newman, chairman, president and chief executive officer of DRS Technologies. �Record new orders during the period reflected the continued strong demand for DRS�s products and services. The company�s performance for the fiscal year was excellent, advancing significantly year over year and positioning the company well, as we entered the first quarter of fiscal 2009.� Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter Results Fiscal 2008 fourth quarter net earnings of $54.9 million were significantly higher than net earnings of $22.0 million reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, as restated. (For information on the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter restatement, see the section entitled �Fiscal 2007 Adjustment� later in this news release.) Diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.32 for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter were more than double diluted EPS of $0.54 posted for last year�s fourth quarter and were based on 41.6 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared with 41.1 shares for the same period a year earlier. Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $939.4 million, 18 percent above revenues of $798.9 million for the same period last year. Record fourth quarter revenues were attributable entirely to organic growth. Operating income of $108.3 million for the last three months of fiscal 2008 was 89 percent above $57.2 million for the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. Contributing to the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter increase was higher overall revenue generation, with profitability rising in each of the company�s operating segments. The company�s operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenues) for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter was a strong 11.5 percent, compared with 7.2 percent for fiscal 2007. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $128.1 million for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter were 68 percent higher than EBITDA of $76.1 million for the last quarter of fiscal 2007. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 13.6 percent, compared with 9.5 percent for last year�s fourth quarter. Interest and related expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $26.2 million, 10 percent lower than $29.1 million for the same period a year earlier. The decrease was due primarily to lower average borrowings outstanding, reflecting the company�s focus on reducing debt, which was $1.63 billion at the end of the fiscal year, 9 percent lower than a year earlier. The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was approximately 33 percent, compared with approximately 21 percent for the same period last fiscal year. The effective income tax rates for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were positively impacted by the recording of $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, in discrete cumulative tax benefits, primarily related to the reversal of a valuation allowance on previously unrecognized losses at the company�s U.K. operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and to export sales under the Extraterritorial Income (ETI) exclusion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $92.9 million, compared with $133.6 million reported for the fiscal 2007 fourth quarter. Free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was $70.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $115.8 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Lower free cash flow in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter was the result of the company�s efforts to achieve more consistency in free cash flow performance in each quarter throughout the fiscal year. Capital expenditures for the last quarter of fiscal 2008 were $22.5 million, compared with $17.8 million for same quarter in the prior fiscal year. New Contract Awards and Backlog DRS secured $956.2 million in new orders for products and services during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, 39 percent higher than $688.9 million in bookings for the same quarter last year. Funded backlog at March 31, 2008 of $3.61 billion was 19 percent above funded backlog of $3.04 billion at the end of last fiscal year.

Fiscal 2008 Results For fiscal 2008, the company reported net earnings of $165.8 million, 60 percent higher than $103.6 million last fiscal year, as restated. (For information on the fiscal 2007 restatement, see the section entitled �Fiscal 2007 Adjustment� later in this news release.) Fiscal 2008 diluted EPS of $4.00 were 57 percent above the $2.54 reported last fiscal year and were based on 41.4 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared with 40.8 million shares for fiscal 2007. Consolidated revenues of $3.30 billion for fiscal 2008 were 17 percent higher than revenues of $2.82 billion for last fiscal year. The increase was attributable entirely to strong organic growth in each of the company�s four operating segments. Fiscal 2008 operating income of $360.4 million was 33 percent above $270.7 million reported for fiscal 2007. The company�s operating margin for fiscal 2008 was 10.9 percent, compared with 9.6 percent for fiscal 2007.

Interest and related expenses for fiscal 2008 decreased 8 percent to $110.4 million, from $119.9 million a year ago. The decrease was due primarily to lower average borrowings outstanding. The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2008 was approximately 34 percent, compared with approximately 31 percent for last fiscal year. The tax rates in both years were positively impacted by the recording of discrete cumulative tax benefits: $6.7 million in fiscal 2008 and $11.6 million in fiscal 2007. Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2008 was $211.5 million, 8 percent higher than $195.2 million reported for fiscal 2007. Free cash flow was $140.1 million for fiscal 2008, slightly higher than $139.3 million in the prior fiscal year. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 were $71.4 million, compared with $55.9 million for last year.

Record new orders received during fiscal 2008 were valued at $1.52 billion, up 19 percent from a year ago, which contributed to funded backlog of $1.32 billion at March 31, 2008, 18 percent higher than backlog at the end of last fiscal year. RSTA Segment The company�s Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Target Acquisition (RSTA) Segment generated $232.6 million in revenues for the last quarter of fiscal 2008, 37 percent above the $169.4 million posted for the same quarter a year ago.

The segment posted $26.1 million in operating income, reflecting an 11.2 percent operating margin, compared with a $14.6 million loss for the same period a year earlier due to $40.3 million in pretax charges taken on the Thermal Weapon Sights II program. Record new orders of $234.8 million during the last three months of fiscal 2008 were a substantial 86 percent higher than bookings of $126.2 million for same period last fiscal year. Fiscal 2008 revenues of $781.6 million generated by the company�s RSTA Segment were 30 percent higher than a year ago. The rise in revenues was due to increased shipments in the same product lines mentioned above. The segment generated $85.4 million in operating income, more than double the $31.8 million reported a year earlier, reflecting a 10.9 percent operating margin. Fiscal 2007 profitability for the segment was impacted by the fourth quarter charges, mentioned above. Record new orders of $989.0 million during fiscal 2008, up 8 percent from last fiscal year, contributed to funded backlog of $1.21 billion at March 31, 2008, 19 percent higher than a year earlier. Sustainment Systems Segment For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, DRS�s Sustainment Systems Segment generated revenues of $141.2 million, a 17 percent increase above $120.5 million in revenues for the last quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in sales was attributable to the higher shipments in the segment�s power generators, heavy ammunition trailers, roof assemblies for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles and environmental control systems product lines. The segment�s operating income of $21.0 million for the quarter was a 19 percent improvement over the $17.6 million reported for the same quarter last year, and reflected a strong 14.9 percent operating margin.

The Sustainment Systems Segment reported a 24 percent rise in revenues to $495.3 million for fiscal 2008, compared with $400.8 million in the prior year. The increase in sales was the result of higher shipments primarily associated with the same products lines mentioned above.

The Sustainment Systems Segment secured new contracts valued at a record $545.9 million during the fiscal 2008, a 7 percent increase over last year, and posted funded backlog of $552.7 million at March 31, 2008, 14 percent higher than backlog of $485.5 million at the same a year ago.

Lower revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were due primarily to decreases in engineering and logistics and asset protection services during the period. Operating income of $15.2 million for the quarter was up 21 percent from $12.6 million for the same period a year earlier, reflecting an operating margin of 8.9 percent, 29 percent higher than the 6.9 percent operating margin last year. Stronger profitability in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter was due primarily to the segment�s military communications products and services lines. New orders received in last quarter of fiscal 2008 for the segment were valued at $227.2 million, 14 percent higher than $198.8 million in new contracts captured during the same quarter of fiscal 2007.

Operating income of $52.6 million for the fiscal year was up 7 percent from $49.2 million a year earlier, and reflected an operating margin of 7.7 percent, compared with 7.2 percent last year. Higher fiscal 2008 revenues and profitability were due primarily to the segment�s military communications products and services lines, and engineering and logistics support services lines. New orders received in fiscal 2008 were valued at $803.1 million, slightly higher than bookings of $781.1 million secured in fiscal 2007. The segment�s fiscal 2008 year-end funded backlog was $520.9 million, up 26 percent from backlog of $414.7 million at the same time last year.

The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA is net cash provided by operating activities. The preceding tables present the components of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA is presented as additional information because we believe it to be a useful indicator of an entity's debt capacity and its ability to service its debt. EBITDA is not a substitute for operating income, net earnings or net cash flows provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is not a complete net cash flow measure because EBITDA is a measure of liquidity that does not include reductions for cash payments for an entity's obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, business acquisitions and capital expenditures and pay its income taxes. Rather, EBITDA is one potential indicator of an entity's ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA also is not a complete measure of an entity's profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for depreciation and amortization, interest and related expenses, and income taxes. EBITDA, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define EBITDA in the same manner. � 7 The Company discloses free cash flow because the Company believes that it is a measurement of cash flow generated that is available for investing and financing activities. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow represents cash generated after paying for interest on borrowings, income taxes, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, but before repaying outstanding debt and investing cash to acquire businesses, and making other strategic investments. Thus, key assumptions underlying free cash flow are that the Company will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures with new debt, and that the Company will be able to finance any new acquisitions it makes by raising new debt or equity capital. Free cash flow, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define free cash flow in the same manner.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures provide additional and meaningful assessments of the Company's ongoing operating performance. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are operating income, net earnings and diluted EPS, and that adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are not substitutes for the comparable GAAP amounts. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS, as we define them, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define adjusted operating income, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS in the same manner.
