COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP. ANNOUNCES

RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2007 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR

Melville, New York – September 19, 2007 – Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) today reported its operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. Net sales, operating income, EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share for the full year were at all time highs.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 were $117.8 million compared to $100.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, reflecting growth in the mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers segments, partially offset by lower sales in the telecommunications transmission segment.

GAAP net income was $17.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $11.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2006. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the amortization of stock-based compensation expense, was $18.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2007 as compared to Non-GAAP net income of $12.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 31, 2006.

Net sales for the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 were $445.7 million, compared to $391.5 million for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006. GAAP net income was $65.2 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 compared to $45.3 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes the amortization of stock-based compensation expense, was $70.2 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 as compared to Non-GAAP net income of $49.6 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended July 31, 2006.

In commenting on the Company‘s performance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “The fourth quarter was an outstanding finish to another record year for Comtech. The fundamentals across all three of our business segments remain solid and we continue to see strong demand for our product and service offerings, as evidenced by the sizable bookings we’ve received in recent weeks on key programs.”

Mr. Kornberg concluded, “As we look forward to fiscal 2008, we are confident that we are well-positioned for another year of record sales and earnings.”

Selected Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2007 Financial Metrics and Other Items

• Bookings for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2007 were $93.8 million and $388.7 million, respectively, compared to $147.9 million and $424.2 million for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2006, respectively. Fourth quarter fiscal 2007 satellite earth station bookings returned to levels experienced in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007. Backlog as of July 31, 2007 was $129.0 million compared to $153.0 million as of April 30, 2007 and $186.0 million as of July 31, 2006.

• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $27.2 million and $102.5 million for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2007, respectively, versus $20.3 million and $78.3 million for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2006, respectively.

• Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2007 was $89.2 million compared to $44.3 million for fiscal 2006.

• In our mobile data communications segment, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded a favorable cumulative gross profit adjustment, which resulted in an increase to operating income of $5.3 million. This adjustment, which is discussed in our Form 10-K filed earlier today, primarily related to the finalization of total contract costs in connection with the completion of the original U.S. Army Movement Tracking System (“MTS”) contract. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we also recorded a favorable cumulative gross profit adjustment on the MTS contract, which resulted in an increase to operating income of $3.3 million.

• Our effective tax rate was 34.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2007, excluding certain adjustments which are more fully described in our Form 10-K filed earlier today, approximated 35.0%.

• Amortization of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Amortization of stock-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
