PRESS RELEASE

Business Editors

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — July 30, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DynCorp International Inc. (NYSE: DCP), a provider of specialized mission-critical technical services to civilian and military government agencies, today announced its results for the first quarter ended June 29, 2007.

First Quarter 2008 Results Compared to First Quarter 2007

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $548.7 million, a 2.0% increase over revenue of $537.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenue for the Government Services (GS) segment, which represented 65% of Company revenue in the first quarter, decreased to $358.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008, down $0.9 million or 0.3% from the comparable period in fiscal 2007. GS revenue was impacted by task order losses under the Worldwide Personal Protective Services program and completion of construction projects under the CIVPOL program. Offsetting these reductions were revenue increases on the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement program, construction work in Africa and additional services in Afghanistan on the CIVPOL program. Revenue for the Maintenance and Technical Support Services (MTSS) segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased to $190.7 million, up $11.9 million or 6.7% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. MTSS revenue, which represented 35% of Company revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, benefited from a new contract under which the Company provides logistics support services to the U.S. Air Force C-21 fleet.

Operating income was $31.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $28.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, a 10.0% increase. Operating margin was 5.8%, as compared to operating margin of 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Operating margin increased by 0.4% of revenue primarily due to improved contract performance. Earnings per share increased from a loss of $0.01 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to earnings of $0.22 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Earnings Per Share for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was negatively impacted by $12.2 million from interest on preferred stock and the early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the first quarter of 2008 increased 8.7% to $44.4 million as compared to $40.8 million in first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Total debt was $595.5 million at June 29, 2007, a reduction of $35.5 million from March 30, 2007. Of this total, $34.6 million was due to an Excess Cash Flow payment requirement under the terms of our credit agreement. Accounts receivable as of June 29, 2007 was $496.1 million, up from $462.0 million as of March 30, 2007 which resulted in a corresponding increase in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) to 74 days from 67 days. This increase was primarily due to payment timing issues related to a system change with the Department of State.

Backlog as of June 29, 2007 was $6.0 billion. Included in this total is $3.3 billion from the linguist and translation services contract awarded by the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) to Global Linguist Solutions LLC (GLS), a joint venture of DynCorp International and McNeil Technologies. The incumbent contractor's protest of the award to GLS was sustained by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The company's backlog and estimated remaining contract value metrics may require future adjustment depending on the outcome of future procurement actions taken by the U.S. Army in implementing the GAO's recommendation.
