HERNDON, Va. (Aug. 1, 2011) – GeoEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEOY), a leading source of geospatial information and insight, announced today results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

“During the quarter, GeoEye continued to produce solid revenue growth and operating results that were in line with our expectations,” said Matt O’Connell, GeoEye’s chief executive officer and president. “We have continued to focus on the successful execution of our multi-billion-dollar EnhancedView award; the integration of our GeoEye Analytics business; and the development of new government, international and commercial customers. We are very pleased with the way we have positioned the Company for second-half growth and with the revenue visibility that we have into the remainder of the year.”

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Adjusted net income available to common shareholders (a non-GAAP measurement that excludes the impact of non-operating charges, gains and one-time charges and tax benefits) for the second quarter of 2011 was also $11.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, as compared to $10.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the same period in 2010.

Operating profit was $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Operating margin was 27.1 percent for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 30.0 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income before depreciation and amortization expenses, net interest income or expense, provision for income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and other items.  We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing operations.  However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under financial performance under GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income available to common stockholders before other items, net of tax.  Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents fully diluted earnings per share before other items, net of tax.  We believe that Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to evaluate our performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by excluding items that are not related to the ongoing operations of our business.  However, Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not recognized terms under financial performance under GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Diluted EPS may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures of other companies.
