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.

"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

contractor for two gas-fired power plants, providing complete project
management, engineering, equipment procurement, construction and startup
services.

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.
