HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 10, 2007—Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM-News), a global provider of end-to-end satellite-based communications solutions, today announced financial results for the Company’s fiscal 2007 third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2007.  

Fiscal Year 2007 Third Quarter Results

Revenues for the Company’s fiscal 2007 third quarter increased 26.0% to a record $39.1 million, compared to $31.0 million in the same period last year.  Revenues from ground segment systems, networks and enterprise solutions increased by 34.1% to $31.8 million driven by the pre-engineered systems product line primarily due to the continued success in the government marketplace.  Revenues from data communications services remained unchanged at $7.3 million compared to the same period last year.  Overall, revenues in the government marketplace as a percentage of total revenues increased to 76% for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 from 48% in the same period last year.

Net income for the Company’s fiscal 2007 third quarter increased 88.2% to $2.3 million, or $0.14per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.  The increase in net income was driven by the increase in revenues, coupled with an increase in gross margin in the pre-engineered systems sold.  

Fiscal Year 2007 Nine-Month Results

Revenues for the Company’s fiscal 2007 nine months ended March 31, 2007 increased 12.2% to a record $101.6 million, compared to $90.5 million in the same period last year.   Revenues from ground segment systems, networks and enterprise solutions increased 11.9% to $77.6 million driven by increased sales in the pre-engineered systems product line in the government marketplace.  Revenues from the data communications services business segment increased 13% to $23.9 million primarily driven by an increase in life cycle support services.  Overall, revenues in the government marketplace as a percentage of total revenues increased to 68% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 from 51% in the same period last year.

Net income for the Company’s first nine months of fiscal 2007 increased 69.1% to $5.1 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the same period last year.  The increased revenue and an increase in the overall gross margin percentage of the Company drove the increase in net income. The improvement in gross margin is due to increased revenue in the government marketplace in both the pre–engineered systems product line in the ground segment systems, networks and enterprise solutions segment and life cycle support services in the data communications services business segment.

Management’s Review of Results

David Hershberg, Chairman and CEO of the Company, said, “Subsequent to the end of the third quarter Globecomm acquired the GlobalSat division of Lyman Bros., Inc.  GlobalSat brings both customer reach and management depth, and was a natural cultural fit with Globecomm.  GlobalSat significantly increases the Company’s recurring revenue base and presence in the government marketplace.  The acquisition met stringent criteria developed by Globecomm’s management team and we intend to provide GlobalSat with the full breadth of the Company’s resources to assure the success of this transaction and to enhance shareholder value.”  Mr. Hershberg continued, “The Company continues to execute on its long-term strategy as evidenced by record third quarter revenues and looks forward to finishing the current fiscal year breaking top and bottom line Company records.  In the third quarter, Globecomm forged a technology partnership with UTStarcom to demonstrate the power of a hosted satellite solution to satisfy the growing need to supply service to small and dispersed cellular systems, and teamed up with Vanu®, Inc. to create a high performance, low cost solution for cellular rural operators.  We are seeing multiple opportunities in these marketplaces and believe that this will be growth areas for years to come.”

Management’s Current Expectations for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2007

Globecomm continues to expect record consolidated revenues for fiscal year 2007 in excess of $145 million, or at least a 15% increase over fiscal 2006, and record earnings per diluted share in excess of $0.45 per share, representing at least a 67% increase over fiscal 2006 earnings per diluted share, excluding a net non-recurring gain in fiscal 2006 in the amount of $0.02 of earnings per diluted share.

These expectations reflect actual results for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and management’s current view of the next three months.  Actual results for fiscal year 2007 will remain susceptible to factors in certain areas of the world. This may include, but is not limited to, major disruptions in the marketplaces we operate due to political unrest, local violence, global economic recession and changes in United States Government foreign policy.  Results will also remain susceptible to possible cost overruns on projects, unfavorable product mix and timing of or failure to book and turn certain projects included in our projections.
