ViaSat Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Results

 

    Fiscal year 2017 set multiple new records including awards of $1.7 billion and revenues of $1.6 billion

 

    Operating cash flow generation hit highest level in Company history at $411.3 million for fiscal 2017, supporting next-generation satellite platform investments and satellite construction

 

    Fiscal year 2017 revenue up 10%, with new record revenues achieved in Satellite Services and Government Systems segments

 

    ViaSat-2 satellite scheduled to launch on June 1, 2017 from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 23, 2017 – ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global broadband services and technology company, today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31, 2017.

“Our strong fourth quarter wrapped up a fiscal year that featured multiple performance records including revenue, cash flow from operations and new contract awards,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. “Performance for both the quarter and full fiscal year were driven by our satellite services operations across the residential, aero and government mobility markets, and outstanding results from our government business, where we are capitalizing on our unique market position and capabilities. With our ViaSat-2 launch scheduled for June 1, we are poised to again set a new benchmark for low-cost bandwidth delivery and we’re making great progress with R&D investments in the ViaSat-3 program. Our strategy is simple: we want to lead the way with the highest speeds and the most bandwidth at the lowest total cost, an approach that will continue to redefine global bandwidth economics and open significant opportunities for ViaSat to disrupt multiple markets.”

Satellite Services

ViaSat’s Satellite Services segment achieved strong growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 driven primarily by its diverse broadband service offerings, generating an 11% year-over-year revenue increase to a new record high of $160.9 million. Operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA both grew faster than revenue, as operating profit grew significantly, rising 49% to $32.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $75.0 million. Fiscal 2017 fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA margins also remained high at 47%, up from 44% in the same quarter last year. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

    Continued interest in premium, higher bandwidth broadband internet plans, plus growth in value-added services continued to drive gains in the residential broadband business, with an Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of $66.02, up 13% year-over-year. This increase more than offset the effects of the slight decrease in the number of residential subscribers, which totaled approximately 659,000 subscribers at the close of fiscal year 2017.

 

    On March 3, 2017, ViaSat and Eutelsat Communications closed their European broadband strategic partnering arrangement, with ViaSat acquiring a 49% interest in Eutelsat’s wholesale services business for $139.5 million. A second entity, which is 51% owned by ViaSat, will focus on providing retail broadband internet services in the European region.

 

    In-flight connectivity business grew strongly with in-flight internet services now deployed on 559 commercial aircraft as of March 31, 2017, which was approximately 85 more aircraft than the end of fiscal year 2016.

 

    Now covering more than 90% of the world’s most frequently traveled flight paths, ViaSat’s in-flight internet services business continued to expand globally. Following the close of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat had more than 830 commercial aircraft in install backlog.


    Specific to commercial airline customers:

 

    JetBlue announced it became the only airline to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi at every seat – using ViaSat’s in-flight internet service.

 

    Subsequent to the 2017 fiscal year end, Qantas held the first high-speed, high-performance connectivity media flight in Australia; marking a successful trial for ViaSat and partner, nbn™.

 

    Following the close of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat announced Icelandair as the first airline to bring high-speed connectivity and internet streaming to transatlantic flights using ViaSat’s in-flight internet system.

Fiscal 2017 Satellite Services segment results also reflected multiple record highs, with revenue growth of 13% to $629.6 million, an operating profit increase of 60% year-over-year to $131.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $297.4 million, up 22% over the same period last year.

Commercial Networks

In the fiscal fourth quarter of 2017, ViaSat’s Commercial Networks segment activities were heavily focused on the Company’s ViaSat-3 project, a next-generation satellite platform designed to deliver over 1 Terabit per second (Tbps) of high throughput Ka-band broadband capacity. These anticipated ViaSat-3 investments coupled with next-gen mobility solutions and supplement type certificate (STC) activities supporting recent commercial airline wins, drove R&D expenses up year–over-year by 77%. Additionally, quarterly revenues were down 5% compared to the same period last year. As a result, segment operating losses were higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, as compared to the same period last year. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

    The launch of ViaSat-2 was somewhat further delayed due to civil unrest in French Guiana, the location of the ViaSat-2 launch site. ViaSat-2 is now scheduled to launch on June 1, 2017, with broadband services expected to be available in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 following in-orbit testing.

 

    Development of first flight hardware for the ViaSat-3 program remained on track and is expected to begin arriving in ViaSat’s Tempe, Arizona satellite integration facility in late calendar year 2017.

 

    Following the close of fiscal 2017, ViaSat introduced its Gen-2 in-flight internet equipment for the ViaSat-2 and ViaSat-3 class satellite platforms. The Gen-2 equipment is expected to offer commercial and government aircraft even faster and higher-quality in-flight internet performance as compared to ViaSat’s prior generation system.

Fiscal 2017 Commercial Networks segment revenues were lower, operating loss was higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower compared to the same period last year. Earnings decreases were primarily a result of the Company’s fiscal year 2017 ViaSat-3 R&D activities.

Government Systems

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, ViaSat’s Government Systems segment revenues increased 20% to a record $196.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to $45.0 million, compared to the prior year period, while the operating profit was slightly lower by $3.1 million. Included in the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal 2017 results was a loss contingency reserve recorded by ViaSat’s 52% majority-owned subsidiary TrellisWare. This reserve impacted fiscal fourth quarter of 2017 consolidated and segment operating profit by a total amount of $11.8 million; with a net effect after noncontrolling interest impacts to net income attributable to ViaSat, Inc. common stockholders of $4.0 million or $0.07 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 million (See Table: ‘An Itemized Reconciliation between Segment Operating Profit (Loss) Before Corporate, Amortization of Acquired Intangibles and Adjusted EBITDA’). Excluding the impacts of this reserve, year-over-year segment operating profits and Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2017 would have grown by 30% and 22%, respectively. Highlights for the quarter include:

 

    Record year-to-date segment contract awards of $850.7 million, reflecting a 1.2 to 1 book-to-bill ratio, supported strong segment backlog of $633.3 million, a 30% increase over the same period last year.


    Revenue growth in the quarter and year-to-date was driven by ViaSat’s cybersecurity and information assurance, tactical data link and tactical satellite communication radio products.

 

    Global mobile broadband service revenues were boosted by increased satellite service subscriptions for senior U.S. government leader aircraft in both the quarter and year-to-date periods.

 

    Following the close of fiscal year 2017, the KOR-24A Small Tactical Terminal (STT) airborne radio continued to expand its presence on a number of U.S. and Allied radio programs and platforms, including the Boeing AV-8B Harrier aircraft.

ViaSat’s Government Systems segment performance for fiscal year 2017 included a number of new record highs: revenue growth of 13% to $685.1 million, operating profit growth of 11% to $96.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 13% to $162.3 million compared to fiscal 2016.

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.
