Exhibit 99.1 Raytheon reports 1999 full year and fourth quarter results; Company ends year with record backlog of $28.4 billion - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Raytheon Logo Appears Here] Raytheon Company Corporate Communications 141 Spring Street Lexington, Massachusetts 02421 USA News release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Polk 781.860.2386 www.raytheon.com - ---------------- Raytheon reports 1999 full year and fourth quarter results; Company ends year with record backlog of $28.4 billion LEXINGTON, Mass., (Jan. 25, 2000) - Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTNA, RTNB) today reported 1999 revenue of $19.8 billion, up 2 percent from the year earlier, and diluted earnings per share of $1.19, in line with the estimate provided by the company on January 18, and down from 1998 diluted earnings per share of $2.47. Revenue was up slightly due to increased sales in missile defense systems and some improvement in the power business of Raytheon Engineers & Constructors (RE&C). The decline in earnings was due to contract-related adjustments, pricing pressures, and the cumulative effect of two internal accounting changes consistent with SOP 98-5 and SAB 101. Results for 1998 also included gains from divestitures. Total bookings for the year were $24.8 billion, compared with $22.2 billion in bookings for 1998, resulting in record backlog of $28.4 billion, up 18 percent over December 1998. Fourth quarter 1999 revenue was $4.8 billion, down 8 percent from the previous year. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter were $0.21, compared with $1.00 in the fourth quarter of 1998. The revenue decline in the quarter is due primarily to lower missile shipments; certain non-recurring events from the 1998 fourth quarter in the electronics businesses; aircraft shipments and accounting adjustments at Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC); and the divestiture of Cedarapids, Inc. These factors, along with contract adjustments in the electronics businesses and cost performance at both RAC and RE&C, contributed to lower earnings for the quarter. On December 6, 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, which clarified conditions for recognizing revenue on bill and hold transactions. As previously announced, the company recently completed a review of revenue recognition practices at RAC. Based on that evaluation, Raytheon has now restated its financial results consistent with SAB 101. This restatement resulted in a negative effect of $0.11 per share on fourth quarter earnings. Operating cash flow during the fourth quarter was $778 million, resulting in net debt of $9.5 billion at year-end, compared with $8.6 billion at the end of 1998.

Page 2 of 8 "Despite all the challenges Raytheon faced in 1999, we are moving forward with some of the best technology in the industry, talented people and strong customer relationships," said Daniel P. Burnham, Raytheon chairman and chief executive officer. "We intend to take all of the steps necessary to improve execution in every area of the business and generate free cash flow for debt reduction." Electronics Businesses - ---------------------- Raytheon's electronics businesses reported fourth quarter operating income of $360 million on revenue of $3.5 billion. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 1998 was $658 million on revenue of $3.8 billion. The decline in revenue was due primarily to lower missile shipments, the divestiture of Cedarapids, Inc., and lower sales at Training and Services due to the discontinuance of Raytheon Data Systems. Contributing to lower operating profit were estimate-at-completion (EAC) adjustments due to higher overhead rates at Sensors and Electronic Systems (SES); contract cost adjustments on the Boeing Business Jet program at Aircraft Integration Systems; and year-end balance sheet and contract reviews at Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems. These were offset by $65 million of favorable adjustments to restructuring-related reserves. Events in the 1998 fourth quarter, including claim settlements and contract closeouts at SES, contributed to higher revenue and operating profit in the 1998 period. Operational highlights included: . The signing of a $1.3 billion ((Pound Sign)800 million) contract for the UK Ministry of Defence's Airborne Stand Off Radar (ASTOR) program. ASTOR is a radar surveillance system that provides day/night and all-weather imagery of the ground over a large area. . Selection by the Boeing Company to develop an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar for the F/A-18F Super Hornet. Under an Advance Agreement between Boeing and the U.S. Navy, Raytheon will develop an integrated AESA radar prototype. The next step would be a Navy contract award, expected in early 2001, for engineering and manufacturing development. If the contract is awarded, delivery of radars would begin in 2004. . A $1.1 billion contract award by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide science, operations and maintenance support services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. Under the contract, Raytheon will provide everything needed to sustain year-round research programs at three research stations and on two research vessels on and around the continent of Antarctica. The electronics businesses had backlog of $20.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter, compared with $17.6 billion at the end of 1998. Raytheon Engineers & Constructors - --------------------------------- RE&C reported operating income of $5 million on revenue of $656 million in the 1999 fourth quarter, compared with operating income of $22 million on revenue of $658 million for the same period in 1998. Cost growth and project delays, particularly in one international program, continued to erode operating margins at RE&C. Also material to the quarter were losses related to the settlement of two claims. During the quarter, RE&C won an award for $1.1 billion in new work for two power projects in Massachusetts. Under the contract, awarded by Sithe Energies, Inc., RE&C will be the turnkey

RE&C had backlog of $3.4 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with $3.9 billion at the end of 1998. Raytheon Aircraft Company - ------------------------- RAC recorded an operating loss of $38 million on revenue of $632 million in the 1999 fourth quarter, compared with operating income of $40 million on revenue of $788 million in the fourth quarter of 1998. RAC shipped 10 fewer aircraft in the 1999 fourth quarter than it did in the 1998 period, and 19 fewer aircraft than forecast due to production and shipment delays. All of the delayed 19 aircraft are expected to ship in the first half of 2000. Also contributing to lower operating profit were cost performance on existing and new product lines and the impact of the bill and hold restatement of $57 million in the fourth quarter versus $41 million in the comparable period last year. Raytheon Travel Air, RAC's fractional aircraft ownership division, reported a record fourth quarter with revenue of $82 million, bringing 1999 revenue to $230 million. Both revenue and fractional share ownership grew in excess of 75 percent during 1999, and Travel Air was ranked No. 1 in customer satisfaction and program reliability based on a survey by Aviation Research Group/U.S. Respondents. RAC had backlog of $4.3 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with $2.5 billion at the end of 1998.
