Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures Text 3 In order to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s financial results, this presentation contains "Non - GAAP financial measures" under the rules of the SEC . The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is a Non - GAAP measure that represents earnings (loss) before income taxes, interest (income) and other, write - off of deferred financing costs, interest expense, amortization of stock - based compensation, amortization of intangibles, depreciation expense, estimated contract settlement costs, settlement of intellectual property litigation, acquisition plan expenses, facility exit costs and strategic alternatives analysis expenses and other . The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the definition of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies . Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure frequently requested by the Company’s investors and analysts . The Company believes that investors and analysts may use Adjusted EBITDA, along with other information contained in its SEC filings, in assessing the Company’s performance and comparability of its results with other companies . The Company’s Non - GAAP financial measures reflect the GAAP measures as reported, adjusted for certain items as described in Appendix II . These Non - GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary to conduct the Company’s business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP . These measures are adjusted as described in the reconciliation of GAAP to Non - GAAP in Appendix II, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non - recurring . Non - GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP . Investors are advised to carefully review the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings . 3

Text Comtech – Impact of COVID - 19  Our third quarter of fiscal 2020 corresponded precisely with the period in which worldwide restrictions on business activities were in force due to the COVID - 19 pandemic.  In response to lower sales and delayed orders, we implemented a variety of cost saving measures, including reducing global headcount by approximately 10%, reducing salaries, suspending merit increases and eliminating certain discretionary expenses. Severance costs relating to these actions were not material and our cost reduction efforts continue.  While deemed an essential business by the U.S. government, for the safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers, we implemented remote working arrangements, curtailed most business travel, and established social distancing safeguards at our facilities.  Q3 FY 2020 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA ( non - GAAP) were $135.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. 7  We believe that the pandemic’s worst impact on our business is largely behind us.  Our long - term fundamentals remain strong as we continue to believe we are well - positioned for growth as business conditions meaningfully improve.  We expect that our fiscal 2020 fourth quarter consolidated net sales and Adjusted EBITDA will be meaningfully better than the results we achieved during the third fiscal quarter of 2020.

14 x In May 2020, we agreed to amend the terms of the agreement, which we originally announced in November 2019. x The aggregate purchase price was reduced by 24% from $50 million to $38 million. x Cash consideration will be $5 million, with the remainder of the consideration to be paid in shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of both, at our election at the time of closing. x The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval to allow us to purchase UHP's sister company, which is headquartered in Moscow. x In July, we announced that the Federal Antimonopoly Service (“FAS”) of the Russian Federation advised us that our application for regulatory approval has been referred to the Commission for Supervising Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation (the “Commission”) for review under Russia’s Foreign Investment Law. As such, we plan to submit our application for regulatory approval to the Commission as soon as possible. x The acquisition of Gilat remains subject to certain conditions to closing, including regulatory approval in Russia. x In May 2020, we received notification from the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation that it was extending the review period for our application pending a decision under the Foreign Investment Law, to determine whether approval is required from the Chairman of the Russian Government Commission for Supervising Foreign Investments. x In July 2020, we commenced litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Gilat. The amended complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that certain actions, if taken by Gilat, would breach Gilat’s obligations under the merger agreement. We also requested a declaratory judgment that Gilat has suffered a material adverse effect and that Comtech is not obligated to close on the acquisition.
