"Mercury performed well in the second quarter," said Mark Aslett , President and CEO of Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. "We continued to execute on a plan to focus the business, improve Mercury's profitability, increase our cash flow, and position the Company for renewed growth in fiscal 2010 and beyond. As expected, this was another strong quarter for our ACS defense business, and Mercury Federal made further progress in expanding the Company's total addressable defense market."
"We also made progress toward our goal of divesting our unprofitable and non-core businesses by the end of this fiscal year," Aslett said. "As announced earlier this afternoon, today we signed and closed on the sale of Mercury's Visage Imaging business to Pro Medicus Limited, an Australian company in the healthcare and life sciences space. This removes the business that has been generating Mercury's most significant operating losses and advances us toward completing our portfolio rationalization activities. Looking forward, we are confident that Mercury will conclude the fiscal year as a more focused and profitable enterprise with a strong and growing defense business."
