ViaSat Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Results

Carlsbad, Calif. – November 7, 2011 – ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), an innovator in satellite and other wireless networking systems and services, announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 that included new contract awards of $245.7 million, revenues of $223.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $39.0 million and non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.32 per share, or $0.18 per share on a diluted GAAP basis. Year-to-date, ViaSat reported new contract awards of $499.3 million, revenues of $418.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $75.1 million and non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.48 per share, or $0.22 per share on a diluted GAAP basis.

“Second fiscal quarter results for new orders, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA fit our expectations given the ViaSat-1 launch delays,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO. “But, the main event has been the successful launch and activation of ViaSat-1 subsequent to quarter end. We expect to begin new services at the end of this quarter that we believe will make satellite a better choice for many people who are underserved by terrestrial broadband connections. Meanwhile, national defense budget issues and associated program delays are having some near term impact on our government results, and the mix of business. Still, we had strong new contract awards in the first half of the year at nearly $500 million, up 23% from last year. The combination of new orders with the launch of ViaSat-1 create exciting growth opportunities, despite the macro environment.”

5 Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments.

Government Systems Segment

The Government Systems segment posted quarterly revenues of $103.4 million, an 8.9% increase from the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, primarily due to an increase in service revenues while product revenues remained relatively flat. The increase in service revenues was primarily related to higher sales of our government satellite communication systems, information assurance products, and tactical data link services. Adjusted EBITDA for the Government Systems segment was $20.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to $18.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. New contract awards in our Government Systems segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 were $136.7 million.

Commercial Networks Segment

For the Commercial Networks segment, revenues were $64.2 million for the second quarter, a 44.9% increase from the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, primarily due to an increase in product revenues while service revenues remained relatively flat. The product revenues increase was primarily due to higher sales of mobile broadband satellite communication systems, enterprise VSAT networks, and consumer broadband products. Adjusted EBITDA for the Commercial Networks segment was $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to $0.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. New contract awards in our Commercial Networks segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 were $53.6 million.

Satellite Services Segment

Our Satellite Services segment contributed revenues of $55.4 million for the second quarter, a 5.5% decrease from the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, primarily due to the lower number of wholesale subscribers of our WildBlue® service as our sales channels provisioned fewer customers in anticipation of the ViaSat-1 related service offerings. Adjusted EBITDA for the Satellite Services segment was $16.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to $23.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. New contract awards in our Satellite Services segment for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 were $55.4 million.

small number of contracts which account for a significant percentage of our revenues; our ability to successfully develop, introduce and sell new technologies, products and enhancements; reduced demand for products as a result of continued constraints on capital spending by customers; changes in relationships with, or the financial condition of, key customers or suppliers; reliance on a limited number of third parties to manufacture and supply our products; increased competition and other factors affecting the communications and defense industries generally; the effect of adverse regulatory changes on our ability to sell products; our level of indebtedness and ability to comply with applicable debt covenants; and our dependence on a limited number of key employees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement ViaSat’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), ViaSat uses non-GAAP net income attributable to ViaSat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures ViaSat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of ViaSat’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ViaSat Inc. excludes the effects of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to ViaSat Inc. before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition related expenses. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs and to evaluate future growth opportunities. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to the company’s historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables titled “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Net Income Attributable to ViaSat Inc. on a GAAP Basis and Non-GAAP Basis,” “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Net Income Attributable to ViaSat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA” and “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Segment Operating Profit (Loss) Before Corporate and Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets and Adjusted EBITDA” contained in this release.
