Updated financial guidance for 2011

NEW YORK, July 28, 2011 — L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LLL) today reported a 16% increase in diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS) to $2.26 for the quarter ended July 1, 2011 (2011 second quarter) compared with $1.95 for the quarter ended June 25, 2010 (2010 second quarter). The 2011 second quarter included a tax benefit of $0.11 per diluted share primarily related to the reversal of amounts previously accrued with respect to the 2006 and 2007 U.S. Federal income tax returns. The company increased its full year EPS guidance as a result of the lower expected tax rate for 2011. Net sales of $3.8 billion decreased by approximately 5% compared to the 2010 second quarter.

The decline in sales was driven primarily by the loss of the Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) and Afghanistan Ministry of Defense (MoD) support contracts in 2010, continued lower pass-through volume related to the U.S. Army’s systems and software engineering and sustainment services (SSES) contract due to a change in contract vehicles that occurred in 2009, and a delay in the 2011 order for the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA).

“Despite a challenging sales environment, the company posted good sales growth in C³ISR, intelligence and cyber support in Government Services and systems field support services in AM&M due to recent competitive wins, and also EO/IR products in Electronic Systems. For the quarter, our funded orders were $3.8 billion, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 and funded backlog of $10.9 billion, and we generated strong cash flow, which is a testament to L-3’s solid performance and operational strength in a challenging environment,” said Michael T. Strianese, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We won several competitive programs, secured key awards for legacy programs and continued to focus on excellent program execution and innovative solutions that enhance support to our customer base.”

Key wins during the quarter included contracts to perform sustainment for the U.S. Navy’s P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, the operation and maintenance of airborne sensors under the Missile Defense Agency’s HALO program, and Special Operations Command contracts to provide specialty and application IT management services. L-3 was also awarded ID/IQ contracts to provide linguist services for the U.S. Army and law enforcement training services for the Department of State.

Mr. Strianese continued, “We remain committed to improving our operational efficiency and delivering value to our customers and shareholders. During the quarter, we deployed our strong cash flow to repurchase $224 million of our common stock and pay dividends of $48 million, resulting in $526 million of cash returned to our shareholders year-to-date.”

Following a comprehensive strategic review across its business units, L-3 announced today a plan to spin-off to L-3 shareholders 100% of a new, independent, publicly traded government services company. This transaction will better position both companies to pursue expanded growth opportunities and more effectively address customer priorities.

See the separate press release issued earlier today announcing the planned spin-off for additional information.

Second Quarter Results of Operations: For the 2011 second quarter, consolidated net sales of $3.8 billion decreased by $200 million, or 5%, as compared to the 2010 second quarter. Lower sales from the Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M), Government Services, and Electronics Systems segments, were partially offset by sales growth from the Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C³ISR) segment. Acquired businesses⁽¹⁾, which are all included in the Electronics Systems segment, contributed $33 million to net sales in the 2011 second quarter.

Operating income for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $38 million, or 9%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) decreased by 40 basis points to 10.7% for the 2011 second quarter compared to 11.1% for the 2010 second quarter. Lower operating margins in the C³ISR, Government Services and Electronic Systems segments were partially offset by higher operating margins for the AM&M segment.

See segment results below for additional discussion of segment sales and operating margin.

Net interest expense and other income decreased by $26 million for the 2011 second quarter compared to the same period last year. The decrease was due to: (1) lower interest expense primarily from lower interest rates on outstanding fixed rate debt as a result of recent debt refinancings and (2) a $13 million ($8 million after income taxes, or $0.07 per diluted share) debt retirement charge in the 2010 second quarter that did not recur in the 2011 second quarter.

The effective tax rate for the 2011 second quarter decreased by 640 basis points compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to: (1) a reversal of previously accrued amounts of $12 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, primarily related to the 2006 and 2007 U.S. Federal income tax returns, (2) a higher mix of foreign earnings with lower tax rates compared to the 2010 second quarter, and (3) the reenactment of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit.

Net income attributable to L-3 in the 2011 second quarter increased by $15 million, or 7%, compared to the 2010 second quarter, and diluted EPS increased 16% to $2.26 from $1.95. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2011 second quarter compared to the 2010 second quarter declined by 8% due to repurchases of L-3 common stock.

First Half Results of Operations: For the first half ended July 1, 2011 (2011 first half), consolidated net sales of $7.4 billion decreased by $223 million, or 3%, as compared to the first half ended June 25, 2010 (2010 first half). Lower sales from the AM&M, Government Services and Electronic Systems segments were partially offset by sales growth from the C³ISR segment and additional days in the 2011 first half. Acquired businesses, which are all included in the Electronics Systems segment, contributed $114 million to net sales in the 2011 first half.

Operating income for the 2011 first half decreased by $58 million, or 7%, compared to the 2010 first half. Operating margin decreased by 40 basis points to 10.8% for the 2011 first half compared to 11.2% for the 2010 first half. Lower operating margins in the C³ISR, Government Services and the Electronic Systems segments were partially offset by higher operating margins for the AM&M segment.

See segment results below for additional discussion of segment sales and operating margin.

Net interest expense and other income decreased by $7 million for the 2011 first half compared to the same period last year. A decrease of $12 million primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of recent debt refinancings and lower amortization of bond discounts was partially offset by $5 million of higher debt retirement charges. The 2011 first half included an $18 million debt retirement charge related to the redemption of the company’s $650 million 5⁷/₈% senior subordinated notes due 2015. The 2010 first half included a $13 million debt retirement charge related to the redemption of the company’s $400 million 6¹/₈% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

The effective tax rate for the 2011 first half decreased by 480 basis points compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to: (1) $12 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to the reversal of previously accrued amounts primarily related to the 2006 and 2007 U.S. Federal income tax returns, (2) a higher mix of foreign earnings with lower tax rates compared to the 2010 first half, (3) the reenactment of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit, and (4) a 2010 first half tax provision of $5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the unfavorable tax treatment of the U.S. Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that did not recur.

Net income attributable to L-3 in the 2011 first half decreased by $2 million compared to the 2010 first half, and diluted EPS increased 8% to $4.11 from $3.82. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2011 first half compared to the 2010 first half declined by 7% due to repurchases of L-3 common stock.

Orders: Funded orders for the 2011 second quarter decreased to $3.8 billion compared to $4.1 billion for the 2010 second quarter. Funded backlog was $10.9 billion at July 1, 2011, compared to $11.1 billion at December 31, 2010.

Cash flow: Net cash from operating activities was $519 million for the 2011 first half, a decrease of $70 million, compared to $589 million for the 2010 first half. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to the timing of quarterly employer pension contributions and working capital requirements. Capital expenditures, net of dispositions of property, plant and equipment, were $77 million for the 2011 first half, compared to $63 million for the 2010 first half.

Cash returned to shareholders: The table below summarizes the cash returned to shareholders during the 2011 first half compared to the 2010 first half.

Second Quarter: C³ISR net sales for the 2011 second quarter increased by $49 million, or 6%, compared to the 2010 second quarter primarily due to increased demand and new business for networked communication systems for manned and unmanned platforms to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

C³ISR operating income for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $5 million, or 5%, and operating margin decreased by 130 basis points compared to the 2010 second quarter. Operating margin decreased by 100 basis points due to favorable contract performance in the 2010 second quarter for networked communication systems that did not recur and 30 basis points due to sales mix.

First Half: C³ISR net sales for the 2011 first half increased by $64 million, or 4%, compared to the 2010 first half primarily due to increased demand and new business for networked communication systems for manned and unmanned platforms and airborne ISR logistics support and fleet management services to the DoD, and international ISR systems. These increases were partially offset primarily by lower sales for airborne ISR systems to the DoD and force protection products to foreign ministries of defense.

C³ISR operating income for the 2011 first half decreased by $20 million, or 10%, compared to the 2010 first half. Operating margin decreased by 180 basis points due to favorable contract performance in the 2010 first half that did not recur for network communications and airborne ISR systems and an $8 million loss on a contract termination recorded in the 2011 first quarter.

Government Services

		Second Quarter Ended												First Half Ended
		July 1,				June 25,								July 1,				June 25,
($ in millions)		2011				2010				Decrease				2011				2010				Decrease

Operating margin			7.5	%			8.5	%			(100	) bpts			7.5	%			8.2	%			(70	) bpts

Second Quarter: Government Services net sales for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $60 million, or 6%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to: (1) $26 million in lower sales due to the loss of an Afghanistan MoD support contract, (2) reduced pass-through subcontractor sales volume of $24 million for task order renewals related to SSES, (3) $11 million in lower sales from lower information technology support services for the U.S. Special Operations Command due to fewer task orders received because of more competitors on the current contract, and (4) $39 million in lower sales from completed contracts primarily for U.S. Army sustainment, training and logistics support services and the SBInet program for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. These decreases were partially offset by $40 million in higher sales due to increased demand for intelligence and information technology support services for U.S. Government agencies.

Government Services operating income for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $15 million, or 17%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. Operating margin decreased by 100 basis points primarily due to lower contract profit rates on select new business and re-competitions of existing business due to competitive price pressures, lower sales and higher business development costs for the cyber security business.

First Half: Government Services net sales for the 2011 first half decreased by $23 million, or 1%, compared to the 2010 first half. Additional days in the 2011 first half as compared to the 2010 first half increased sales by approximately $60 million. Excluding the impact of the additional days, sales decreased by approximately $83 million, or 4%, due to trends similar to the 2011 second quarter. SSES subcontractor pass-through volume declined $53 million and sales were lower by $49 million due to the loss of the Afghanistan MoD support contract.

Government Services operating income for the 2011 first half decreased by $15 million, or 10%, compared to the 2010 first half. Operating margin decreased by 70 basis points. Operating margin was reduced by 110 basis points primarily due to reasons similar to the 2011 second quarter. The decrease in operating margin was partially offset by an increase of 40 basis points related to costs in the 2010 first half for a security systems contract that did not recur and the timing of receipt of award fees for linguist services.

AM&M

Operating margin			9.2	%			7.6	%			160	bpts			10.1	%			8.3	%			180	bpts

Second Quarter: AM&M net sales for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $150 million, or 20%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. The decrease was due to lower sales volume, primarily as a result of: (1) $99 million from the SOFSA contract loss, (2) $53 million due to the timing of orders for JCA, and (3) reduced level of effort on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for system field support services for a U.S. Army C-12 contract.

AM&M operating income for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $2 million, or 3%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. Operating margin increased by 160 basis points. Operating margin increased 170 basis points due to improved contract performance, primarily for rotary wing cabin assemblies and U.S. Navy maritime patrol aircraft and 70 basis points due to a decline in lower margin sales mix for SOFSA. These increases were partially offset by 80 basis points primarily due to higher costs related to JCA.

First Half: AM&M net sales for the 2011 first half decreased by $210 million, or 15%, compared to the 2010 first half. Additional days in the 2011 first half as compared to the 2010 first half increased sales by approximately $23 million. Excluding the impact of the additional days, sales decreased by $233 million, or 16%. The decrease was primarily as a result of: (1) $198 million from the SOFSA contract loss and (2) $34 million from JCA.

AM&M operating income for the 2011 first half increased by $5 million, or 4%, compared to the 2010 first half. Operating margin increased by 180 basis points. Operating margin increased 170 basis points due to improved contract performance, primarily for rotary wing cabin assemblies, and a decline in lower margin sales mix for SOFSA, and 80 basis points due to a 2011 first quarter favorable price adjustment of $10 million for an international aircraft modernization contract. These increases were partially offset by 70 basis points primarily due to startup costs related to a U.S. Army C-12 contract and higher costs related to JCA.

Operating margin			13.3	%			14.1	%			(80	) bpts			13.0	%			13.8	%			(80	) bpts

Second Quarter: Electronic Systems net sales for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $40 million, or 3%, compared to the 2010 second quarter, reflecting lower sales volume for: (1) warrior systems due to lower shipments of night vision products, (2) microwave products due to reduced funding related to the Prophet program, (3) combat propulsion systems due to a reduction in DoD funding for Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and (4) simulation & training devices due to declining production volumes on the F-22 and AVCATT (Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer) programs and the delay of a foreign maritime simulation project. These decreases were partially offset by sales from acquired businesses of $33 million and higher demand for EO/IR products.

Electronic Systems operating income for the 2011 second quarter decreased by $16 million, or 8%, compared to the 2010 second quarter. Operating margin declined by 80 basis points primarily due to a change in sales mix.

First Half: Electronic Systems net sales for the 2011 first half decreased by $55 million, or 2%, compared to the 2010 first half, reflecting lower sales volume for: (1) microwave products due to reduced funding related to the Prophet program and reduced deliveries of mobile satellite communications systems and related power devices and amplifiers, (2) combat propulsion systems, (3) warrior systems, and (4) simulation & training devices. These decreases were partially offset primarily by sales from acquired businesses of $114 million and higher demand for EO/IR products

Electronic Systems operating income for the 2011 first half decreased by $27 million, or 7%, compared to the 2010 first half. Operating margin decreased by 80 basis points primarily due to a change in sales mix.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this release, including information regarding the company’s 2011 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, 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: timing and completion of the planned spin-off of a new, independent, publicly traded government services company, our dependence on the defense industry and the business risks peculiar to that industry, including changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. Government defense budget; backlog processing and program slips resulting from delayed funding of the Department of Defense (DoD) budget; 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 in the future with terms that are attractive to L-3 and to integrate acquired business operations; the impact of any strategic initiatives undertaken by us, including but not limited to the potential spin-off of a portion of our Government Services segment, and our ability to achieve anticipated benefits; 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 markets; global economic uncertainty; the DoD’s contractor support services in-sourcing and efficiency initiatives; events beyond our control such as acts of terrorism; our ability to perform contracts (revenue arrangements) on schedule; our international operations; our extensive use of fixed-price type contracts as compared to cost-plus 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, including in connection with jury trials; results of audits by U.S. Government agencies; results of on-going governmental investigations, including potential suspensions or debarments; the impact on our business of improper conduct by our employees, agents or business partners; anticipated cost savings from business acquisitions not fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; the outcome of matters relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and similar non-U.S. regulations; 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 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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.
