Forward-Looking Expectations^1^

Management reiterates guidance for 2026 for revenue between $500 to $520 million, representing a revenue growth rate of approximately 13% at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is expected to be between $61 to $66 million, representing a growth rate of approximately 19% at the midpoint.

Management Commentary

Adi Sfadia, Gilat's CEO, commented: “Gilat delivered another strong quarter, with revenues increasing 17% and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 31%. The combination of growth and margin expansion reflects solid execution across our Defense, Commercial, and Peru segments and the continued strength of our underlying business.”

Mr. Sfadia added, “During the quarter and in recent weeks, momentum remained broad-based. Gilat Defense continued to expand its activity in both the United States and in Europe, reflecting increasing demand for advanced communications solutions that support mobility, rapid deployment, and operational continuity in complex operating environments. We introduced the Viper Ka ESA terminal, broadening our support for unmanned and autonomous missions, and we also advanced work on certifications that will position us to better support next-generation defense communications architectures.

The announced Comtech acquisition is progressing well and is the next major step in Gilat’s transformation into a scaled defense, space, and mission-critical communications technology company. The acquisition is expected to create a company with more than $700 million in pro forma annual revenues, more than double Gilat Defense revenues, expand our U.S. engineering and manufacturing footprint, and improve access to larger U.S. and allied defense and space programs.The acquisition is anticipated to close toward year-end, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions."

Mr. Sfadia concluded, “Our first-half performance, recent awards, backlog, and strong pipeline support our full-year 2026 outlook and positions us well to fully capitalize on the Comtech acquisition.”

Key Recent Announcements

Gilat to Acquire Comtech’s Satellite & Space Communications Segment Creating a Leading Provider of Advanced Defense and Satellite Communications Solutions

^1^ We do not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis because we are unable to reasonably provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as earnout-based expenses related to recent acquisitions. As a result, we are not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for forward looking data without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measures

The attached unaudited summary consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). To supplement the summary consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP measurements of gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, income before taxes on income, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends, and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures mainly exclude, if and when applicable, the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, lease incentive amortization, other non-recurring expenses, other integration expenses, other operating expenses (income), net, and the income tax effect on the relevant adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and evaluate the Company’s financial and operating results on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company also believes this measure, when viewed in combination with the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period and may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. A reconciliation between the Company's net income and Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached summary consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP presentations of gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, income before taxes on income, net income, Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Gilat’s operating performance or liquidity.
