ViaSat Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Results

Record Adjusted EBITDA as Satellite Services Quarterly Revenues Exceed $100 Million

Carlsbad, Calif. – November 11, 2013 – 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 2014. Revenue increased 25% compared to the same period last year to a record $353.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA also hit record levels and grew 22% year-over-year to $54.4 million for the second quarter. Non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders reached $0.20 per share, or $0.04 per share on a diluted GAAP basis – compared to losses of $0.04 and $0.18 per share, respectively, for the second quarter of last fiscal year.

ViaSat’s fiscal year-to-date performance also outpaced prior year levels. Revenue increased 29% to $675.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA grew 44% to $107.1 million and net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders increased to $0.30 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis, or $0.00 per share on a diluted GAAP basis – compared to the prior year period losses of $0.22 and $0.51 per share, respectively.

“Our fiscal second quarter again showed sustained strong growth,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. “Continued steady net subscriber additions for our Exede® service on ViaSat-1 are leading the way, but we also achieved double-digit revenue increases across all of our business segments, including Government Systems. This revenue growth is yielding strong EBITDA growth, even as we increase discretionary spending to extend and protect our technology advantages. New order flow this quarter was solid and helps sustain an exciting blend of current and emerging products and services. We are especially looking forward to the approaching initiation of commercial in-flight Wi-Fi services over ViaSat-1 with our launch partner JetBlue.”

1  ViaSat uses a 52 or 53 week fiscal year which ends on the Friday closest to March 31. ViaSat quarters for fiscal year 2014 end on June 28, 2013, October 4, 2013, January 3, 2014, and April 4, 2014. This results in a 53 week fiscal year approximately every four to five years. Fiscal year 2014 is a 53 week year, compared with a 52 week year in fiscal year 2013. As a result of the shift in the fiscal calendar, the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 included an additional week. ViaSat does not believe that the extra week results in any material impact on its financial results.
2  Attributable to ViaSat Inc. common stockholders.
3  As the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2013 financial information resulted in a net loss, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as diluted shares would be anti-dilutive.
4  Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments.

Satellite Services

Our Satellite Services segment reported revenues of $100.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, an increase of 49% year-over-year. This performance set another Satellite Services revenue record and pushed Satellite Services revenues to $186.2 million year-to-date. We ended the quarter with over 590,000 consumer broadband subscribers and performed over 100,000 installations. Our quarter-over-quarter ARPU for our retail and wholesale subscribers also continued to rise, reaching a record level of over $50.70 per month, up nearly 6% from the same quarter last year with our expanded retail subscriber base and increased service offerings. Satellite Services segment second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $18.5 million, which more than doubled the amount reported for the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, segment Adjusted EBITDA grew by 175%, totaling $35.9 million for the first half of fiscal year 2014.

Commercial Networks

Our Commercial Networks segment generated $110.2 million in revenues during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, an increase of $23.7 million, or 27%, compared to the same period last year. Year-to-date revenues increased by $44.9 million, or 28%, to $207.6 million reflecting continuing progress in our international Ka-band infrastructure projects, growth in aeronautical mobile broadband product sales, and development progress on a Ka-band satellite payload contract. Technology leverage across our segments continues to be an underlying theme, and this strategy succeeded again this quarter as our antenna systems product area achieved its second largest new orders quarter. Segment Adjusted EBITDA results were $8.7 million, an 84% increase versus the second quarter of last year, despite substantial increases in next generation broadband R&D investments. Year-to-date segment Adjusted EBITDA grew sharply to $19.9 million, up 136% compared to the same period last year.

Government Systems

Our Government Systems segment also reported strong revenue growth both for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 as well as the year-to-date period, increasing 11% to $143.3 million and 20% to $281.2 million, respectively. Performance in our command and control markets coupled with growth in funded information assurance and security platforms produced strong year-over-year contributions, including 25% growth in product revenues to $105.2 million, while our government mobility and other service revenues base remained strong. Second quarter segment Adjusted EBITDA was $27.5 million, a decrease of 12% compared to the same period last year, reflecting increased near term R&D activities and network expansion spending. Year-to-date segment Adjusted EBITDA was $52.1 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2014, which was relatively consistent with the same period last year despite the current quarter investments.

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 (loss) 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. 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 below.
