RADA Electronic Industries Announces First Quarter 2009 Results;
Company Reports 11% Increase in Revenues and Net Profit

On Thursday May 21, 2009, 9:39 am EDT

NETANYA, Israel, May 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RADA Electronic Industries
Ltd. (Nasdaq:RADA) reported today its financial results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009. Revenues were $4.1 million, an increase of 11% compared with
revenues of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. Gross profit increased
96% to $1.2 million from $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 and gross
margin was 30% compared with 17% in the first quarter of 2008. Operating
expenses were $1.3 million compared with operating expenses of $1.0 million in
the first quarter of 2008. Financial income was $95,000 compared with financial
expenses of $432,000 in the first quarter of 2008, which includes $240,000
income and $110,000 expenses from the changes of the U.S. dollar against the
Israeli Shekel, for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As a result, the Company reported net profit of $42,000 or $0.01 per share. This
compares with a net loss of $770,000 or $0.09 per share, for the comparable
quarter in 2008.

Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's CEO said, "The first quarter of
2009 is our third consecutive profitable quarter. The improvement in our
profitability was principally made possible by the sequential growth in our
revenues. This improvement occurred despite the increase in research and
development expenses, which expenses are expected to increase in the second and
third quarters of 2009. We are making these investments in order to allow us to
enhance and broaden our product offerings, which will provide us with greater
opportunities in the market. Although the current environment remains
challenging, we believe that the continued execution of our strategy to increase
our product offerings in the defense electronics market as well as commercial
derivatives will enable us to move forward and continue to improve our operating
results."
