L-3 Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results
| Diluted earnings per share of $2.12 |
| Net sales increased 5% to $3.8 billion |
| Net cash from operating activities of $450 million |
| Updates financial guidance for 2009 |
| Provides initial financial guidance for 2010 |
NEW YORK, October 27, 2009 L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LLL) today reported diluted
earnings per share (diluted EPS) of $2.12 for the quarter ended Sept. 25, 2009 (2009 third
quarter), compared to $1.70(1) for the quarter ended Sept. 26, 2008 (2008 third
quarter). The 2009 third quarter included a tax benefit of $0.22 for a net reversal of amounts
previously accrued related to tax years for which the statute of limitations has expired. Net sales
increased 5% to $3.8 billion compared to $3.7 billion for the 2008 third quarter.
On October 2, 2009, the company successfully completed a $1 billion offering of 5.20% senior notes,
its first investment grade rated bond issue. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering were
used to repay the companys outstanding $650 million term loan and the remaining net proceeds,
together with cash on hand, will be used to redeem the companys outstanding $750 million 7 5/8%
senior subordinated notes on November 2, 2009. On October 23, 2009, the company also replaced its
$1 billion senior revolving credit facility, which was due to expire on March 9, 2010, with a new
$1 billion three-year senior revolving credit facility that expires on October 23, 2012.
L-3 had a good third quarter, led by our C3ISR businesses, said Michael T. Strianese,
chairman, president and chief executive officer. We delivered solid operating results, earnings
per share and cash flow and continued to deploy the companys cash flow to increase shareholder
value by repurchasing $95 million of our common stock during the quarter and $396 million since the
beginning of the year. In addition, our successful debt refinancings improve L-3s debt maturity
profile and leverage metrics and also reduce L-3s cost of capital.
Mr. Strianese continued, Looking ahead, we are well positioned for shifting customer priorities
and slowing U.S. Department of Defense budgets. Our focus will continue to be strong program
performance, rapidly delivering innovation and value to our customers, and disciplined capital
allocation.
(1) | During the quarter ended March 27, 2009, the company adopted six new accounting standards, three of which required retrospective application of their provisions. These standards and their retrospective application are more fully described in Tables E and F (Unaudited Supplemental Financial Data) attached to this earnings release. |

Third Quarter Results of Operations: For the 2009 third quarter, consolidated net sales increased
5% compared to the 2008 third quarter driven primarily by growth in the Command, Control,
Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C3ISR) and Aircraft
Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M) reportable segments. These sales increases were partially
offset by a decrease in the Government Services reportable segment. The increase in consolidated
net sales from acquired businesses net of divestitures(2) was $28 million, or 0.8%.
The 2009 third quarter operating income increased by 5% compared to the 2008 third quarter.
Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) remained the same at 10.9% compared to
the 2008 third quarter. Higher margins primarily for C3ISR and certain Specialized
Products businesses were offset by higher pension expense in the 2009 third quarter compared to the
2008 third quarter. The increase in pension expense reduced operating income by $21 million ($13
million after income taxes, or $0.11 per diluted share) and reduced operating margin by 50 basis
points. The pension expense increase is primarily due to the actuarial loss that we experienced in
2008 as a result of the decline in the fair value of our pension plan assets, which is amortized as
a component of pension expense. See segment results below for additional discussion of segment
operating margin results.
Net interest expense and other income remained the same compared to the same period last year
primarily due to lower interest expense on our term loans, which are based on variable interest
rates, offset by lower interest income on cash investments.
The effective tax rate for the 2009 third quarter decreased by 840 basis points compared to the
same quarter last year. The decrease is primarily due to a tax benefit of $26 million, or $0.22 per
diluted share, for a net reversal during the 2009 third quarter of amounts previously accrued
related to tax years for which the statute of limitations has expired.
In the 2009 third quarter as compared to the 2008 third quarter, net income attributable to L-3
increased by $40 million, or 19% and diluted EPS increased by $0.42, or 25%. Diluted weighted
average common shares outstanding for the 2009 third quarter compared to the 2008 third quarter
declined by 4% due primarily to share repurchases of L-3 common stock made during the past year.
Year-to-Date Results of Operations: For the year-to-date period ended Sept. 25, 2009 (2009
year-to-date period), consolidated net sales increased 5% compared to the year-to-date period ended
Sept. 26, 2008 (2008 year-to-date period) driven primarily by growth in the C3ISR, AM&M
and Specialized Products reportable segments. These sales increases were partially offset by a
decrease in the Government Services reportable segment driven primarily by lower linguist services
(discussed below under the Government Services reportable segment). The increase in consolidated
net sales from acquired businesses net of divestitures was $145 million, or 1%.
(2) | Sales from acquired businesses net of divestitures are comprised of (i) sales from business and product line acquisitions that are included in L-3s actual results for less than 12 months, less (ii) sales from business and product line divestitures that are included in L-3s actual results for the 12 months prior to the divestitures. |

The 2008 year-to-date period results were impacted by three items that, in the aggregate, increased
operating income for that period by $110 million and reduced interest expense by $7 million (net
$71 million after income taxes, or $0.57 per diluted share). These three items are collectively
referred to as the Q2 2008 Items and are comprised of:
| A gain of $133 million ($81 million after income taxes, or $0.65 per diluted share) for the reversal of a $126 million liability as a result of a June 27, 2008 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals which vacated an adverse 2006 jury verdict and $7 million of related accrued interest (the Litigation Gain), |
| A gain of $12 million ($7 million after income taxes, or $0.06 per diluted share) from the sale of a product line (the Product Line Divestiture Gain), and |
| A non-cash impairment charge of $28 million ($17 million after income taxes, or $0.14 per diluted share) relating to a write-down of capitalized software development costs for a general aviation product (the Impairment Charge). |
The 2009 year-to-date period operating income decreased by 5% compared to the 2008 year-to-date
period. Operating income for the 2009 year-to-date period as compared to the 2008 year-to-date
period decreased by $110 million as a result of the Q2 2008 Items and by $56 million ($34 million
after income taxes, or $0.29 per diluted share) because of higher pension expense.
The 2009 year-to-date period operating margin decreased by 110 basis points to 10.6% compared to
11.7% for the 2008 year-to-date period. Excluding the Q2 2008 Items, the 2008 year-to-date period
operating margin was 10.6%. Higher margins primarily for C3ISR and certain Specialized
Products businesses were offset by an increase in pension expense, which reduced operating margin
by 50 basis points during the 2009 year-to-date period compared to the 2008 year-to-date period.
See segment results below for additional discussion of segment operating margin results.
Net interest expense and other income decreased compared to the same period last year driven by
lower interest expense on our term loans partially offset by $7 million of accrued interest
reversed during the 2008 year-to-date period in connection with the Litigation Gain and lower
interest income on cash investments.
The effective tax rate for the 2009 year-to-date period decreased by 350 basis points compared to
the same period last year. Excluding the Q2 2008 Items, the effective tax rate for the 2009
year-to-date period would have decreased by 320 basis points. The decrease is primarily due to a
tax benefit of $26 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for a net reversal during the 2009 third
quarter of amounts previously accrued related to tax years for which the statue of limitations has
expired.
Net income attributable to L-3 was $674 million for the 2009 year-to-date period and the 2008
year-to-date period. Diluted EPS increased by $0.26, or 5% . Diluted weighted average common
shares outstanding for the 2009 year-to-date period compared to the 2008 year-to-date period
declined by 5% primarily due to share repurchases of L-3 common stock made during the past year.
Orders: Funded orders for the 2009 third quarter decreased 15% to $3.4 billion compared to $4.0
billion from the 2008 third quarter and decreased 14% to $10.5 billion for the 2009 year-to-date
period from $12.2 billion for the 2008 year-to-date period. Funded backlog decreased 6% to $10.8
billion compared to $11.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2008.
Cash flow: Net cash from operating activities was $978 million for the 2009 year-to-date period,
compared to $1,031 million for the 2008 year-to-date period. Capital expenditures, net of
dispositions of property, plant and equipment, was $125 million for the 2009 year-to-date period,
compared to $134 million for the 2008 year-to-date period.

Third Quarter: C3ISR net sales for the 2009 third quarter increased by 21% compared to
the 2008 third quarter primarily due to increased demand and new business from the U.S. Department
of Defense (DoD) for airborne ISR and networked communication systems for manned and unmanned
platforms.
C3ISR operating income for the 2009 third quarter increased by 40% compared to the 2008
third quarter. Operating margin increased by 140 basis points. Higher sales volume, improved
contract performance and a more favorable sales mix for airborne ISR and networked communication
systems increased operating margin by 260 basis points. These increases were partially offset by an
increase in pension expense of $9 million, which reduced operating margin by 120 basis points.
Year-to-Date: C3ISR net sales for the 2009 year-to-date period increased by 24% compared
to the 2008 year-to-date period due to increased demand and new business from the DoD for airborne
ISR and networked communication systems for manned and unmanned platforms.
C3ISR operating income for the 2009 year-to-date period increased 36% compared to the
2008 year-to-date period. Operating margin increased by 100 basis points. Higher sales volume,
improved contract performance and a more favorable sales mix for airborne ISR and networked
communication systems increased operating margin by 210 basis points. These increases were
partially offset by an increase in pension expense of $24 million, which reduced operating margin
by 110 basis points.

Third Quarter: Government Services net sales for the 2009 third quarter decreased by 3% compared to
the 2008 third quarter. Sales declined due to: (1) reduced subcontractor pass-through sales volume
of $35 million related to task orders for U.S. Army systems and software engineering and
sustainment (SSES) services stemming from task order renewals migrating to a different contract
vehicle where L-3 is not a prime contractor, (2) lower Iraq-related linguist services of $19
million, and (3) lower volume for intelligence support for the U.S. Army and U.S. Government
agencies. These decreases were partially offset by increases in information technology (IT) support
services primarily for the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the executive branch of
the U.S. Government due to higher volume on new and existing contracts. Additionally, net sales
from acquired businesses were $32 million, or 3%.
Government Services operating income for the 2009 third quarter increased by 3% compared to the
2008 third quarter. Operating margin for the 2009 third quarter increased by 60 basis points.
Operating margins increased by 130 basis points primarily due to an award fee for linguist services
and favorable close-outs on completed contracts, and a decline in sales of lower margin linguist
and SSES services. These increases were partially offset by lower volume for intelligence support
services, which decreased operating margin by 50 basis points. Acquired businesses reduced
operating margin by 20 basis points.
Year-to-Date: Government Services net sales for the 2009 year-to-date period decreased by 5%
compared to the 2008 year-to-date period. Sales declined due to: (1) lower Iraq-related linguist
services of $222 million, (2) timing of deliveries for engineering support services, and (3) lower
volume for intelligence support services for the U.S. Army and U.S. Government agencies. These
decreases were partially offset by increases for IT support services for USSOCOM and the executive
branch of the U.S. Government due to higher volume on new and existing contracts and net sales from
acquired businesses of $82 million, or 3%.
L-3 Announces Results for the 2009 Third Quarter | Page 5 |
Government Services operating income for the 2009 year-to-date period decreased by 9% compared to
the 2008 year-to-date period. Operating margin for the 2009 year-to-date period decreased by 30
basis points. Lower margins on select contract renewals during the 2009 year-to-date period and
higher profit margins on certain fixed price contracts in the 2008 year-to-date period reduced
operating margin by 60 basis points. Acquired businesses also reduced operating margin by 10 basis
points. These decreases were partially offset by a decline in sales of lower margin linguist
services, which increased operating margin by 40 basis points.

Third Quarter: AM&M net sales for the 2009 third quarter increased by 17% compared to the 2008
third quarter. The increase in sales is due to: (1) new contracts and higher demand from existing
contracts for systems field support services for U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force rotary and fixed wing
training aircraft and U.S. Special Operations Forces logistics support, and (2) higher sales for
Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA). These increases were partially offset by sales volume declines for
contract field services (CFS) as fewer task orders were received because of more competitors on the
current contract that began on October 1, 2008.
AM&M operating income for the 2009 third quarter decreased by 5% compared to the 2008 third
quarter. Operating margin decreased by 210 basis points. The decrease is due to: (1) a change in
sales mix, primarily higher sales volume for lower margin JCA and system field support services,
which reduced operating margin by 130 basis points, and (2) lower sales volume and sales prices for
CFS, which reduced operating margin by 30 basis points. In addition, the 2008 third quarter
included approximately $3 million of income to adjust litigation accruals, which reduced operating
margin by 50 basis points.
Year-to-Date: AM&M net sales for the 2009 year-to-date period increased by 8% compared to the 2008
year-to-date period. Higher sales for systems field support services and JCA were partially offset
by sales declines for CFS.
AM&M operating income for the 2009 year-to-date period increased 3% compared to the 2008
year-to-date period. Operating margin decreased by 30 basis points. Sales volume declines for CFS
reduced operating margin by 30 basis points and margins declined by 50 basis points primarily due
to cost increases on international aircraft modernization contracts. In addition, the 2008
year-to-date period included $10 million of charges to adjust litigation accruals, which increased
operating margin by 50 basis points.

Third Quarter: Specialized Products net sales for the 2009 third quarter decreased by 2% compared
to the 2008 third quarter reflecting lower sales volume primarily for: (1) naval power & control
systems and aviation products as a result of reduced demand from commercial customers caused by the
global economic recession, (2) training & simulation, precision engagement and displays due to the
timing of certain deliveries and delays in receipt of expected orders, and (3) combat propulsion
systems due to a reduction in DoD funding for the Bradley fighting vehicle. These decreases were
partially offset by increases for: (1) microwave products primarily due to deliveries of mobile and
ground based satellite communications systems and spare parts for the U.S. military and higher
sales volume for tactical signal intelligence systems, and (2) Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR)
products primarily due to demand and deliveries on new and existing contracts.

Specialized Products operating income for the 2009 third quarter decreased by 2% as compared to the
2008 third quarter. Operating margin remained the same as compared to the 2008 third quarter.
Operating margin increased by 110 basis points primarily due to higher sales volume, favorable
sales mix and improved
contract performance for EO/IR products and improved contract performance for precision engagement.
The 2008 third quarter also included a charge of $4 million to adjust certain litigation accruals,
which increased operating margin by 30 basis points. These increases were offset by: (1) an
increase in pension expense of $11 million, which reduced operating margin by 80 basis points, (2)
lower sales volume for training and simulation due to timing of deliveries, which reduced operating
margin by 50 basis points, and (3) acquired businesses, which decreased operating margin by 10
basis points.
Year-to-Date: Specialized Products net sales for the 2009 year-to-date period increased by 3%
compared to the 2008 year-to-date period reflecting higher sales volume primarily for: (1) EO/IR
products and microwave products driven by trends similar to the 2009 third quarter, (2) training &
simulation primarily related to new and existing contracts, and (3) combat propulsion systems
mostly from continued performance on existing contracts. The increase in net sales from acquired
businesses, net of divestitures, was $64 million, or 2%, and pertains mostly to the Electro-Optical
Systems (EOS) business acquired on April 21, 2008 and to Chesapeake Sciences Corporation acquired
on January 30, 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decrease primarily for naval power
& control systems and aviation products, displays and precision engagement products driven by
trends similar to the 2009 third quarter.
Specialized Products operating income for the 2009 year-to-date period increased by 5% as compared
to the 2008 year-to-date period. Operating margin of 12.0% for the 2009 year-to-date period
increased by 30 basis points. Excluding the Product Line Divestiture Gain and non-cash Impairment
Charge, operating margin for the 2009 year-to-date period of 12.0% decreased by 10 basis points
compared to the 2008 year-to-date period. An increase in pension expense of $31 million reduced
operating margin by 80 basis points and lower sales volume for aviation products reduced operating
margin by 30 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales volume and
favorable sales mix primarily for EO/IR products and improved contract performance for precision
engagement, which increased operating margin by 80 basis points, and acquired businesses, which
increased operating margin by 10 basis points. In addition, the 2008 year-to-date period included
$6 million of charges to adjust litigation accruals, which increased operating margin by 10 basis
points.

The companys 2010 financial guidance assumes the following:
| Sales for the Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) contract through Feb. 28, 2010, the end of the current contracts performance period. If the SOFSA contract were retained for all of 2010, the additional 10 months could add approximately $400 million of sales to our 2010 sales guidance, |
| Pension expense essentially the same as 2009, which is expected to be approximately $169 million. The 2010 pension expense assumes a lower discount rate compared to 2009, offset by better than expected asset returns for 2009. The company will finalize these pension plan assumptions as of Dec. 31, 2009, and |
| An expectation that the U.S. Federal research and experimental (R&E) tax credit that expires on Dec. 31, 2009, will be extended for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010. The benefit of the R&E credit on the 2010 tax rate is approximately $0.14 per diluted share. |

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters discussed in this release, including information regarding the Companys
2009 and 2010 financial outlook that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to events
or conditions or that include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans,
believes, estimates, and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including
projections of total sales growth, sales growth from business acquisitions, organic sales growth,
consolidated operating margins, total segment operating margins, interest expense, earnings, cash
flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures and other projections,
they are subject to several risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and therefore,
we can give no assurance that these statements will be achieved. Such statements will also be
influenced by factors which include, among other things: our dependence on the defense industry and
the business risks peculiar to that industry; our reliance on contracts with a limited number of
agencies of, or contractors to, the U.S. Government and the possibility of termination of
government contracts by unilateral government action or for failure to perform; the extensive legal
and regulatory requirements surrounding our contracts with the U.S. or foreign governments and the
results of any investigation of our contracts undertaken by the U.S. or foreign governments; our
ability to retain our existing business and related contracts (revenue arrangements); our ability
to successfully compete for and win new business and related contracts (revenue arrangements) and
to win re-competitions of our existing contracts; our ability to identify and acquire additional
businesses
L-3 Announces Results for the 2009 Third Quarter | Page 10 |
in the future with terms that are attractive to L-3 and to integrate acquired business operations;
our ability to maintain and improve our consolidated operating margin and total segment operating
margin in future periods; our ability to obtain future government contracts (revenue arrangements)
on a timely basis; the availability of government funding or cost-cutting initiatives and changes
in customer requirements for our products and services; our significant amount of debt and the
restrictions contained in our debt agreements; our ability to continue to retain and train our
existing employees and to recruit and hire new qualified and skilled employees as well as our
ability to retain and hire employees with U.S. Government Security clearances; actual future
interest rates, volatility and other assumptions used in the determination of pension benefits and
equity based compensation, as well as the market performance of benefit plan assets; our collective
bargaining agreements, our ability to successfully negotiate contracts with labor unions and our
ability to favorably resolve labor disputes should they arise; the business, economic and political
conditions in the markets in which we operate, including those for the commercial aviation,
shipbuilding and communications market; global economic uncertainty; the DoDs contractor support
services in-sourcing initiative; our ability to perform contracts on schedule; events beyond our
control such as acts of terrorism; our international operations; our extensive use of fixed-price
type contracts as compared to cost-reimbursable type and time-and-material type contracts; the
rapid change of technology and high level of competition in the defense industry and the commercial
industries in which our businesses participate; our introduction of new products into commercial
markets or our investments in civil and commercial products or companies; the outcome of litigation
matters; results of audits by U.S. Government agencies; anticipated cost savings from business
acquisitions not fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; Titans compliance with
its plea agreement and consent to entry of judgment with the U.S. Government relating to the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), including Titans ability to maintain its export licenses as
well as the outcome of other FCPA matters; ultimate resolution of contingent matters, claims and
investigations relating to acquired businesses, and the impact on the final purchase price
allocations; competitive pressure among companies in our industry; and the fair values of our
assets, which can be impaired or reduced by other factors, some of which are discussed above.
For a discussion of other risks and uncertainties that could impair our results of operations or
financial condition, see Part I Item 1A Risk Factors and Note 18 to our audited
consolidated financial statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2008 as well as any material updates to these factors in our future filings.
Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or
developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking
statements. As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and
other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates,
forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be
material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as
of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these
forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date
of this release to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the
occurrence of anticipated events.

(f) | In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, Consolidation (ASC 810) (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements), the company retrospectively applied the presentation requirements by: (1) reclassifying noncontrolling interests (minority interests) to shareholders equity and (2) including income attributable to noncontrolling interests in net income. | |
(g) | In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) (originally issued as FASB Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities), the company is including the impact of restricted stock and restricted stock units that are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends (Participating Securities) when calculating both basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to L-3. | |
(h) | In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt, (ASC 470) (originally issued as FSP Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)), the company is separately accounting for the liability and equity (conversion option) components of the 3% Convertible Contingent Debt Securities (CODES) in a manner that reflects the companys non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized. Previously, the CODES were recorded at maturity value. FSP APB 14-1 does not apply to the companys other outstanding debt instruments because they are not convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1. |
