ViaSat and Eutelsat to close previously announced European broadband joint venture

CARLSBAD, Calif., February 9, 2017 – ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global broadband services and technology company, today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2016.

“Our year-to-date financial performance approaching the April launch of ViaSat-2 is at record levels,” said Mark Dankberg, ViaSat chairman and CEO. “Revenues are up 9% compared to last year on a year-to-date basis. Year-to-date contract awards and Adjusted EBITDA are also at record levels. We’ve achieved record Adjusted EBITDA even with R&D investments year-to-date that are $34 million higher than last year primarily due to our in-house construction of the ViaSat-3 payloads and our commercial mobility solutions portfolio. Those investments enhance our competitive position, help protect our unique intellectual property and are expected to be offset by corresponding capital cost savings on the ViaSat-3 program. Our financial performance is under-pinned by strong backlog and continued momentum in core government business lines and ubiquitous demand for higher speeds and volumes of broadband connectivity in residential, in-flight, and government markets—as well as a growing array of attractive vertical and geographic markets enabled by ViaSat-2 and the ViaSat-3 constellation. Executing on our previously announced partnering arrangement with Eutelsat represents definitive progress in immediately expanding our geographic reach to consumer and mobile markets with the strongest partner in Europe.”

ViaSat/Eutelsat Partnering Arrangement Update:

ViaSat and Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) agreed to close the previously announced joint venture, combining Eutelsat’s current European broadband business with ViaSat’s broadband technologies and consumer Internet Service Provider (ISP) business expertise. Under the terms of the arrangement, an entity to be 51% owned by Eutelsat will own and operate Eutelsat’s KA-SAT satellite and current wholesale broadband business, with ViaSat purchasing a 49% interest for approximately €132.5 million in cash. A second entity to be 51% owned by ViaSat and 49% owned by Eutelsat will purchase wholesale KA-SAT satellite-based capacity to offer retail broadband internet services in the European region. Both entities will be headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. The closing of the partnering arrangement is expected to occur by the end of February 2017, upon completion of certain administrative procedures. Additionally, ViaSat and Eutelsat expect to add the ViaSat-3 class satellite currently under construction for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region to the partnering arrangement later this calendar year after concluding final legal and business terms.

Key Financial Announcements from the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2017:

On November 23, 2016, ViaSat completed the sale of 7,475,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering, including 975,000 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The net offering proceeds were approximately $503.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. ViaSat used $225.0 million of the net proceeds to repay all outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, with the remaining net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

 


Satellite Services

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat’s Satellite Services segment continued to post strong growth with another quarter of record revenues at $160.1 million, a 13% increase year-over-year. Operating profit grew even faster, up 60% to $34.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA rose 21% to $76.6 million. Continued expansion of premium higher bandwidth broadband internet plans, plus growth in value-added service offerings drove Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) in ViaSat’s residential broadband internet business to a new record high. Adjusted EBITDA margins reached 48%, up from 45% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

 

 

ViaSat served approximately 675,000 residential subscribers at the close of the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, which was a slight decrease on a year-over-year basis.

 

 

 

ARPU in the residential broadband internet business reached a new record high of $63.11, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of growth. A higher mix of subscribers choosing premium service plans and value-added service bundles continued to contribute to the increase in ARPU.

 

 

 

At the close of the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat’s in-flight internet service was deployed on 555 commercial aircraft. The Company ended the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 with more than 750 commercial aircraft in install backlog. This backlog growth was largely driven by American Airlines selection of ViaSat to outfit its new Boeing 737 MAX fleet, and to retrofit more than 500 aircraft from its existing, mainline domestic fleet, with ViaSat’s in-flight internet system. The install backlog also includes commercial aircraft contracts from EL AL Israel Airlines, Finnair and SAS.

 

 

 

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, Qantas continued to drive awareness for its “fast, free” in-flight internet service, from ViaSat, that is expected to be deployed across its domestic Australian fleet. In-flight internet trials are set for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, with ViaSat and Qantas executing on their contract to roll out service to more planes by mid-fiscal year 2018.

 

 

 

In November 2016, ViaSat acquired Arconics, a Dublin-based software company. With this acquisition ViaSat gained new capabilities in aircraft operations, including connected aircraft software such as Electronic Flight Bag solutions, wireless in-flight entertainment, mobile applications and airline document management expertise. Following the closing of the transaction, ViaSat announced Qatar Airways deployed the Arconics automated web-based document management system across its entire airline group.

Year-to-date, Satellite Services segment results reached record highs, with revenue growth of 13% to $468.8 million and an operating profit increase of 64% year-over-year to $98.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $222.4 million was up 24% over the same period last year.

Commercial Networks

In the fiscal third quarter of 2017, ViaSat’s Commercial Networks segment results reflected the planned ramp of investments in next-generation technologies and the associated impact on financial performance in this segment. Quarterly revenues were down slightly compared to the same period last year while R&D expenses were up 93% year-over-year, associated primarily with internal development of the ViaSat-3 payloads and next-generation networks, plus expansion of ViaSat’s commercial in-flight internet solution portfolio. As a result, segment operating losses were higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower for the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, as compared to the same period last year. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

 

 

Construction of the ViaSat-2 satellite is complete. The satellite will be shipped (expected in March 2017) from the Boeing Satellite Systems International facility in El Segundo, California, to the Arianespace launch site in French Guiana. The scheduled launch date for ViaSat-2 is April 25, 2017, with an expected in-service date in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2017.

 

 

 

In November 2016, ViaSat and Boeing Satellite Systems International completed Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the first two ViaSat-3 class satellites. Concluding PDR was a major milestone toward confirming the ViaSat-3 satellites’ ability to satisfy performance specifications and requirements when operating on orbit. ViaSat and Boeing are currently performing detailed design work on each satellite. The first flight hardware is expected to arrive in ViaSat’s Tempe, Arizona satellite integration facility in late calendar year 2017. The first ViaSat-3 class satellite is expected to be ready for launch in calendar year 2019.

 


Year-to-date, Commercial Networks segment revenues were lower, operating loss was higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower compared to the same period last year.

Government Systems

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat’s Government Systems segment revenues increased 10% to $166.0 million compared to the prior year period, while operating profit grew 6% to $24.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 7% to $39.9 million. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

 

 

ViaSat’s focus on bringing commercial innovation to the government sector continued to drive growth in its Government Systems segment for the fiscal third quarter of 2017, with new contract awards totaling $152.2 million and a backlog totaling $654.1 million.

 

 

 

ViaSat continued to expand Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) satellite services to rotary wing platforms both within the United States and with coalition partners, enabling new concepts of operations, including high bandwidth demand search and rescue and reconnaissance missions.

 

 

 

The third quarter of fiscal year 2017 included continued progress toward obtaining key NSA certifications for ViaSat’s security encryptor family. The new certifications are expected to enable ViaSat to capture opportunities within new government intelligence communities.

On a year-to-date basis, ViaSat’s Government Systems segment revenues grew 10% to $488.6 million. Year-to-date new contract awards for the Government Systems segment grew sharply, up 33% year-over-year, as demand increased for tactical datalink products and solutions coupled with growth in broadband service offerings. Operating profit increased 22% year-over-year to $71.1 million, generating Adjusted EBITDA of $117.4 million, a 17% increase over the same period last year.

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 evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, 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.
