EMS Technologies Announces
Record Fourth Quarter Results

Strong Growth in Sales and Profits Expected for 2011

ATLANTA — March 3, 2011 — EMS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELMG) today announced record sales and record Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting strong execution and improved profitability across the entire company.

For the fourth-quarter 2010, consolidated revenues were a record $98.1 million, and operating income was $6.2 million. Fourth-quarter net earnings totaled $6.1 million, or $0.40 per share, including a benefit of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, for Congress’s recent extension of the tax credit for R&D expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA (described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) for the fourth quarter was a record, totaling $12.2 million. The Company also generated a record $17.4 million in operating cash flow from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2010, further improving an already strong balance sheet. These financial results exceeded the results for the comparable period in 2009. For the full year 2010, the Company reported revenues of $355.2 million and net earnings of $14.1 million, or $0.92 per share. Adjusted EBITDA for 2010 was a record $40.3 million, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (also described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) were $0.97 per share.

Neil Mackay, EMS’s CEO, commented, “Our results are a direct reflection of the Company’s leadership in dynamic markets and the focused performance of our people, as well as the benefit of strategic and operational steps we have taken to increase efficiency and improve profitability. EMS is positioned for growth, and we expect strong results in 2011 and beyond.”

Strong North American Markets Drives Record LXE Revenues

Fourth quarter revenues from LXE’s rugged wireless computers were a record $38.7 million, a 31% increase from $29.5 million in Q4 2009. LXE’s fourth quarter operating income was $2.5 million in 2010, compared with an operating loss of $0.4 million in 2009. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA from LXE increased to $3.3 million in 2010 compared with $0.2 million in 2009. The most active markets were beverage, automotive, and construction equipment, as well as markets for LXE’s new wide-area products for field-force automation.

Revenue growth was also driven by the success of LXE’s change to an indirect distribution strategy. We expanded our market reach by establishing strong relationships with large distribution partners, such as ScanSource and BlueStar, and system integrators, such as Red Prairie and PEAK Technologies. Since the beginning of 2010, the number of worldwide distribution partners has nearly tripled to more than 700.

Global Tracking To Align With LXE For Competitive Advantage

Fourth-quarter 2010 revenues for the Global Tracking business were $10.9 million, a 24% increase from $8.8 million in Q4 2009. Global Tracking’s operating income increased to $0.6 million in 2010 from $0.3 million in 2009. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million in Q4 2010, a 55% increase from $1.1 million in Q4 2009. Higher airtime revenue and installation of systems for search and rescue contributed to these improved results.

Neil Mackay commented, “Global Tracking comprises powerful enabling technologies that are helping fuel the demand to track and communicate with people and assets on the move, anywhere in the world. We believe the integration of this business with LXE will be a competitive advantage and an important key for long-term success.”

Aviation Business Improves In Fourth Quarter and Builds For The Future

The Aviation business earned $2.7 million in operating profit and $5.0 million Adjusted EBITDA on revenues of $31.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $2.5 million in operating profit and $4.6 million Adjusted EBITDA on revenues of $30.3 million for the comparable period one year earlier. This business reported its strongest revenue since mid-2009, driven by sales of satellite connectivity products for defense applications in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”). The Aviation business also had major shipments of air-to-ground products, as part of commercial airline expansion of in-flight broadband service.

In the fourth quarter, the Aviation division completed a major integration project, by combining our Tacoma Park, Maryland facilities into operations at Moorestown, New Jersey, and reassigning key managers for a more efficient structure. Said Mackay, “Our opportunities in an improving aviation market are significant, and we believe our integration initiative will translate into more efficient operations and better margins for the future.”

Defense & Space Finishes the Year With Strong Profits

The EMS Defense & Space business maintained tight cost control in the fourth quarter and executed effectively on its programs, including data-links for aircraft. This business achieved operating profit of $1.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million on revenues of $17.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, a significant increase over Q4 2009 breakeven operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million on revenues of $16.4 million. Fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales increased to 15% in 2010 compared with 5% in 2009.

The Defense & Space backlog was $73 million at the end of the quarter, compared with $71 million at the beginning of the quarter. The backlog has been affected by delays in orders that management believes are related to uncertainty in defense budgets.

Guidance for 2011 Fiscal Year

Mackay commented, “We are very encouraged by the financial success of 2010 and the business trends developing in our major market sectors. We expect that all of our businesses, except the Defense & Space segment, will show higher sales and profits in 2011. As a result, we believe that we can achieve net growth in consolidated revenues of close to 10% in 2011. This growth assumption is based in part on the broadly improving outlook for the AeroConnectivity and Global Resource Management sectors, as well as additional growth from the introduction of new products into these sectors.”

Expectations in 2011 consider normal seasonality in which the second half of the year is typically much stronger than the first half. The Company also expects the 2011 second half revenues to be higher due to product rollouts beginning earlier in the year.

For the full year 2011, management expects consolidated revenues in the range of $385 — $405 million, and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $43 — $46 million. The Company expects Adjusted Earnings Per Share in the range of $1.10 — $1.25 per share, assuming an effective income tax rate of 20%. The forecasted effective income tax rate is higher than in recent years due to the expectation of relatively higher profits to be earned in the U.S. in 2011. The 2011 guidance does not include potential costs associated with a recent announcement by one of our shareholders that it intends to nominate four directors to the EMS Board.

Mackay concluded, “Our strategy to increase the value of the company is simple. It is built on increasing profitability, greater strategic alignment, and growth. In 2010, profits were up substantially, and we began important initiatives to increase alignment in the Aviation and Global Resource Management businesses. We expect to see the results of these efforts in revenue growth in 2011 and beyond. We firmly believe this is the best path to maximize long-term shareholder value,” added Mackay.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information regarding our earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding impairment-related charges, acquisition-related items and stock-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The press release also references earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding impairment-related charges, acquisition-related items, and adjustments, if any, for changes to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets resulting from changes in judgment about the potential realization of these assets (“Adjusted Earnings Per Share”). Each of these measures also excludes potential costs associated with a recent announcement by one of our shareholders that it intends to nominate four directors to the EMS Board. The Company believes that earnings that are based on these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, lenders and financial analysts because (i) these measures are more comparable with the results for prior fiscal periods, and (ii) by excluding the potential volatility related to the timing and extent of nonoperating activities, such as acquisitions or revisions of the estimated value of post-closing earn-outs, such results provide a useful means of evaluating the success of the Company’s ongoing operating activities. Also, the Company uses this information, together with other appropriate metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of its operating businesses, to determine management’s incentive compensation, and to assess the Company’s compliance with debt covenants. Management further considers Adjusted EBITDA an important indicator of operational strengths and performance of its businesses. EBITDA measures are used historically by investors, lenders and financial analysts to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions and evaluate performance. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is a component of our bank lending agreement, which requires certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA to be achieved by the Company. This information should not be considered in isolation or in lieu of the Company’s operating and other financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and adjustments to EBITDA are not determined consistently by all entities, Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

		NEWS RELEASE (Continued) Atlanta, GA March 3, 2011

We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted Earnings Per Share for 2011. Not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliation is available to us at this time without unreasonable efforts; this is due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate detailed forecasts and projections. Accordingly, we do not believe that reconciling information for such projected figures would be meaningful.

•

U.S. defense budget pressures on near-term spending priorities;

•

uncertainties inherent in the process of converting contract awards into firm contractual orders in the future;

•

volatility of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and their effect on purchasing power by international customers, and on the cost structure of the our operations outside the U.S., as well as the potential for realizing foreign exchange gains and losses associated with assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies;

•

successful resolution of technical problems, proposed scope changes, or proposed funding changes that may be encountered on contracts;

•

changes in our consolidated effective income tax rate caused by the extent to which actual taxable earnings in the U.S., Canada and other taxing jurisdictions may vary from expected taxable earnings, changes in tax laws, and the extent to which deferred tax assets are considered realizable;

•

successful transition of products from development stages to an efficient manufacturing environment;

•

changes in the rates at which our products are returned for repair or replacement under warranty;

•

customer response to new products and services, and general conditions in our target markets (such as logistics and space-based communications) and whether these responses and conditions develop according to our expectations;

•

the increased potential for asset impairment charges as unfavorable economic or financial market conditions or other developments might affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our business units;

•

the success of certain of our customers in marketing our line of high-speed commercial airline communications products as a complementary offering with their own lines of avionics products;

•

the availability of financing for various mobile and high-speed data communications systems;

•

risk that unsettled conditions in the credit markets may make it more difficult for some customers to obtain financing and adversely affect their ability to pay, which in turn could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition;

		NEWS RELEASE (Continued) Atlanta, GA March 3, 2011

•

development of successful working relationships with local business and government personnel in connection with distribution and manufacture of products in foreign countries;

•

the demand growth for various mobile and high-speed data communications services;

•

our ability to attract and retain qualified senior management and other personnel, particularly those with key technical skills;

•

the potential effects, on cash and results of discontinued operations, of final resolution of potential liabilities under warranties and representations that we made, and obligations assumed by purchasers, in connection with our dispositions of discontinued operations;

•

the availability, capabilities and performance of suppliers of basic materials, electronic components and sophisticated subsystems on which we must rely in order to perform according to contract requirements, or to introduce new products on the desired schedule;

•

uncertainties associated with U.S. export controls and the export license process, which restrict our ability to hold technical discussions with customers, suppliers and internal engineering resources and can reduce our ability to obtain sales from customers outside the U.S. or to perform contracts with the desired level of efficiency or profitability;

•

our ability to maintain compliance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Communications Commission, and with other government regulations affecting our products and their production, service and functioning; and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information regarding our earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share, excluding impairment loss and related charges, acquisition-related items, and an acquisition-related foreign exchange adjustment, (“Adjusted Earnings Per Share”) and earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding impairment loss and related charges, the acquisition-related items and acquisition-related foreign exchange adjustment (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company believes that earnings that are based on these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, lenders and financial analysts because (i) these measures are more comparable with the results for prior fiscal periods, and (ii) by excluding the potential volatility related to the timing and extent of nonoperating activities, such as acquisitions or revisions of the estimated value of post-closing earn-outs, such results provide a useful means of evaluating the success of the Company’s ongoing operating activities.
