KVH Reports Results for Second Quarter

• Second quarter revenue of $21.9 million with net income of $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share

• Quarterly airtime revenues approximately $3 million

• Fiber optic gyro revenues up 50% sequentially from first quarter of 2009

MIDDLETOWN, RI – July 28, 2009 – KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $21.9 million, down 2% from the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net income for the period was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. During the same period last year the company reported net income of $2.0 million or $0.14 on a per diluted share basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue was $40.1 million, down 12% compared to $45.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. KVH reported a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.17 on a per share basis for the first six months of 2009. During the same period last year, the company reported net income of $3.6 million or $0.24 on a per diluted share basis.

“We set a series of aggressive goals for our business with the aim of achieving a strong sequential improvement in our results for the second quarter,” said Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH’s chief executive officer. “I’m pleased to say that we met and exceeded many of those goals. Despite the continuing economic volatility, our strategic growth drivers gained ground and helped set us on a course for what I believe will be long-term success.

“For example, we achieved our third consecutive record quarter for fiber optic gyro sales. We also took major steps in the expansion of our maritime broadband network while, at the same time, the revenue contribution from our broadband airtime services continued to grow. Together, these strategic initiatives helped counterbalance the continuing pressure that the economic environment put on sales of our satellite products, especially to the consumer markets.”

In the second quarter of 2009, mobile communications revenue from marine, land, and aeronautical products and services was $12.5 million, down 31% on a year-over-year basis. Mr. Kits van Heyningen commented, “While domestic and international sales of

satellite products into the leisure land and leisure marine markets declined compared to the second quarter last year, our TracPhone V7 and mini-VSAT Broadband initiative continued to make significant strides. First, we recently reached a major milestone as we sold and shipped our 500th TracPhone V7. We also put in place agreements that will bring our mini-VSAT Broadband service to Asian waters, the Indian Ocean, Australia, and New Zealand in the coming months. Quarterly airtime revenue was up 88% year over year to approximately $3 million, the significant majority of which was derived from mini-VSAT Broadband subscriptions, meeting our expectations for the strategic value of this new business endeavor. We are now turning our eyes toward continued network expansion in the Atlantic as well as Africa, especially in support of the oil fields off the western coast.”

KVH’s defense-related guidance and stabilization revenue from KVH’s fiber optic gyro solutions, TACNAV^® military navigation systems, and related services was approximately $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, up 130% on a year-over-year basis. “While revenue from tactical navigation product sales and associated services was down 22% year over year, our fiber optic gyro business posted an impressive 50% sequential increase in sales over our record first quarter of this year. The success in this area of our business stems not only from our sales of fiber optic gyros for remote weapon stations but also from increased sales to a variety of other commercial and defense applications,” concluded Mr. Kits van Heyningen.

Speaking about the company’s financial results, Patrick Spratt, KVH’s chief financial officer, said, “The high level of sales of relatively higher margin fiber optic gyros helped us achieve better-than-anticipated results on both the top and the bottom line. Gross margin was slightly better than expected at almost 36%. We also demonstrated good operating expense control resulting in a sequential decline from the first quarter of 2009 on a dollar basis. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased sequentially by more than $5 million from the prior quarter primarily as a result of a new $4 million mortgage, sequential improvement in net margin and a prepayment of a mini-VSAT Broadband airtime contract by a U.S. government customer. Inventory levels, while still high, are improving, our balance sheet remains strong overall, and we have the resources at hand to support our investment in long-term growth drivers for the company.

“Looking ahead to the third quarter, we expect that the continuing tough economic conditions as well as historical seasonality factors will put pressure on sales to the consumer and leisure marine and land markets. Although there is always uncertainty in this environment, we do expect sequential increases for our mini-VSAT Broadband offering, for our aeronautical satellite TV antenna, and to a modest extent for our fiber optic gyroscopes. We expect that total sales in the third quarter should be about equal to the second quarter, followed by a sequential increase in the fourth quarter. For the second half of the year, we expect net margin to be about breakeven, reflecting a modest loss in the third quarter and turning to a modest profit in the fourth quarter. Ongoing strong investments in the mini-VSAT Broadband service infrastructure are contributing to the near-term margin pressure, and visibility in most markets remains very limited.”
