Viasat Q2 FY26 Shareholder Letter
Fellow Shareholders, Our Q2 Fiscal Year 2026 performance and impending launch of ViaSat-3 (VS-3) F2 reflect the meaningful progress we are making against our highest priorities and commitment to building value for our employees, customers, and shareholders. We are especially pleased with our awards growth and cash performance while we balance investing for future growth while reducing capital intensity. For Q2 FY2026, we reported a net loss1 of $61 million improved from a net loss1 of $138 million in Q2 FY2025. This improvement was primarily due to favorable service mix, lower depreciation and amortization, and reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses. Revenue grew 2% year-over-year (YoY) driven primarily by 3% growth in the Defense and Advanced Technologies segment and a 1% YoY increase in the Communication Services segment. Adjusted EBITDA2 increased by 3% YoY as better than expected Adjusted EBITDA growth in the Communication Services segment was partially offset by an expected YoY Adjusted EBITDA decline in Defense and Advanced Technologies. The impending launch of VS-3 F2 will be a very meaningful milestone for the company. An incredible amount of dedication went into preparing the satellite for launch and I really appreciate all of the efforts of our entire team to get it done. We remain focused on getting both VS-3 F2 and VS-3 F3 into service as reflected in the accompanying satellite roadmap. As a reminder, each of the new VS-3 satellites is designed to enable more bandwidth capacity than our entire existing fleet – creating opportunities to grow in each of our franchise businesses – and to accelerate growth and drive meaningful free cash flow3 contributions in the Communication Services segment. Our Defense and Advanced Technologies segment outlook is promising as backlog increased to a record $1.2 billion, up 31% YoY and 14% sequentially. Our projected long-term growth trajectory is supported by several attractive secular growth drivers including: • Increased reliance on space-based assets, both domestically and internationally, for national security purposes which creates a growing set of global opportunities for the commercial space industry, especially for dual-use capable systems • Increased demand for highly resilient communications, including both terrestrial and satellite in multi-domain operations requiring seamless interoperability • Growing demand for digitization of military infrastructure to enable highly computationally intense autonomous, cloud-centric, and AI-driven decisions while simultaneously defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats • The growing global recognition of the value of sovereign control over space systems • Increased integration of commercial and defense technologies together with the rise of Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity including Direct-to-Device (D2D)Not surprisingly, we are seeing a significant uptick in interest for commercial mobile space networks that enable D2D NTN connectivity. Given some of the recent market transactions we are seeing in this space and our own coordination agreement with AST/Ligado, it seems there is a greater appreciation of the value that we can create with our mobile satellite spectrum. The announcement we made in September regarding our intention to form Equatys with Space42, and potentially other operators, is an example of how we believe we can continue to build on the value of our large, coordinated and highly strategic global position in Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) while managing and reducing capital intensity. As I mentioned last quarter, we are continuing to opportunistically strengthen our capital structure via cash flow improvements, addressing debt maturities, and conducting ongoing portfolio reviews. The Strategic Review Committee of our Board continues to evaluate our capital allocation and portfolio priorities, including the merits of separating our government and commercial businesses within a competitive environment of government-commercial dual use and vertical integration opportunities. We are focused on building shareholder value and reinforcing our competitive positions, and we see accelerating deleveraging and collapsing the Viasat and Inmarsat debt silos into one as important components to that. We believe the strong start to the first half of fiscal year 2026 is an important proof point as we compete not only for business success and outcomes, but also for investor confidence and capital. Once again, we recognize there will be challenges but we are playing to win. Sincerely, Mark Dankberg

Communication Services Segment Highlights > Communication Services book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x in Q2 FY2026 was driven primarily by demand for high-bandwidth, multi-orbit solutions across aviation, maritime and government end markets. > With the impending launch of the ViaSat-3 (VS-3) F2 satellite aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V551 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, VS-3 F2 is anticipated to come into service in early calendar year 2026. The VS-3 satellite design combines substantial capacity, and superior bandwidth economics with increased flexibility to move and concentrate capacity in the highest demand places virtually anywhere - whether it is on land, at sea or in the air. > Received a total of $436 million from Ligado and AST including the first quarterly payment of $16 million in September and the lump sum payment of $420 million after fiscal quarter end in October. We intend to use a portion of these proceeds to repay early the remaining $300 million in principal amount of the original 2026 Inmarsat term loan facility. > Unveiled HaloNetTM, a modular set of data transport capabilities combining our advanced space, ground, and networking infrastructure into a solutions portfolio addressing government and commercial Low Earth Orbit (LEO) operators mission requirements. HaloNet solutions transports mission data back to earth for analysis and distribution while balancing real-time demands and data latency, as well as maintaining continuous contact with the spacecraft for command and control. > Announced $234 million award to deliver additional satellite services for the region’s world-class Southern Positioning Augmentation Network (SouthPAN). The agreement, which amends the previous Inmarsat award, secures reliable satellite service and ground infrastructure, delivering precise positioning across Australia, New Zealand and maritime zones. >Announced Viasat and Space42 intend to form Equatys, a jointly owned entity, to enable global D2D services and evolving existing and planned Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) to a standards-based, open architecture 5G network environment. Equatys will operate as a neutral “space tower” company using a shared multi-tenant model that reduces redundant investments while delivering cost-efficient capacity. Commercial rollout targeted within 3 years.>Awarded NexusWave orders from Station Satcom for bulk carrier operator Norse Ship Management’s fleet and from Anglo-Eastern to upgrade Hadley Shipping Group’s fleet. NexusWave is a fully managed, bonded connectivity service that provides fast speeds and global coverage from a single, robust platform tailored to the evolving digital needs of the Maritime market. >Expanded Maritime partnership with Pulsar International strengthening its long-standing role as a trusted partner. Pulsar was the first company appointed as a NexusWave partner in the Mediterranean market, and has built a track record of successful NexusWave installations. Pulsar committed to a large-scale NexusWave rollout across more than 300 vessels operated by their customer base over the next 12 months underscoring the expected growth in demand for high-speed, global, reliable, and secure connectivity at sea. AwardsQ2 FY2026 Communication Services awards increased 35% YoY to a record of over $1 billion. YoY growth in government satcom, aviation and maritime was partially offset by declines in FS&O relating to US fixed broadband and the effects of the divestiture of the Energy Services Systems Integration business. Q2 FY2026 total backlog of $2.7 billion decreased 5% YoY. Aviation and government satcom backlog increased 25% and 15% YoY, respectively, which partially offset decreases in FS&O backlog due to decline of the US fixed broadband business, the removal of the Energy Services Systems Integration business backlog and decreases in maritime. Sequentially, backlog grew 8% driven primarily by strong government satcom awards bookings. Revenue Q2 FY2026 Communication Services segment revenues increased 1% YoY to $837 million. Segment product revenues were down 15% YoY primarily due to the divestiture of the Energy Services Systems Integration business in Q3 FY2025, which partially offset YoY service revenue growth. Aviation and government satcom service revenues increased 15% and 9% YoY, respectively, partially offset by a 16% YoY decrease in FS&O service revenues and a 3% YoY decrease in maritime service revenues. Commercial and business aviation ended the quarter with approximately 4,250 and 2,080 aircraft in service, respectively, growing both YoY and sequentially. Maritime vessels were down YoY and sequentially to approximately 13,650. U.S. fixed broadband ended the quarter with approximately 157,000 subscribers and $113 average revenue per user. Adjusted EBITDA Communication Services segment Q2 FY2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $337M increased 6% compared to the prior year quarter. Strong operating performance in aviation and government satcom was partially offset by expected declines in FS&O and maritime service revenues. Communication Services segment provides a wide range of broadband and narrowband communications solutions across government and commercial mobility, maritime, fixed broadband (residential), energy and enterprise customers AWARDS, REVENUE AND ADJ.

Defense and Advanced Technologies Segment Highlights>Received awards for various Information Security & Cyber Defense products totaling over $155 million in Q2 FY2026 for government customers reflecting the strong demand from cloud service providers (CSPs) expanding to meet data center driven demand for more geographic locations and growth in AI applications.>Announced multi-year development award for a new space-based encryption solution to support data security for U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (USSF SSC). Viasat’s encryption team will build a next-generation cryptography solution for satellite applications to allow the Government to better protect critical space assets from cybersecurity threats including an End Cryptographic Unit (ECU) designed with pre-launch and on-orbit functionality to quickly address various communications and transmission security requirements, optimizing size, weight and power.>Selected by the U.S. Government to build a next-generation Ethernet Data Encryptor (EDE) solution as part of a sole-source, multi-million-dollar Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) award. Viasat will design and develop this new high-assurance, high-speed EDE to meet the most stringent government security standards for protecting classified data while addressing demand for increased network traffic bandwidth, lower power requirements, and advanced device management to enable cutting edge automation and responsiveness. These capabilities are critical as Department of Defense networks increasingly utilize cloud service providers and to support a Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability.>Subsequent to quarter end, selected for a prime contract award by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command for the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global program. Viasat is one of five awardees to receive an initial Delivery Order 1 contract under an IDIQ contract that aims to develop a proliferated, small satellite geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) constellation that will deliver resilience and anti-jam capabilities crucial for providing secure, reliable and cost-effective communication capabilities to support evolving USSF and U.S. Department of War missions. Awards Defense and Advanced Technologies Q2 FY2026 segment awards decreased 9% YoY to $467 million. Information security and cyber defense and space and mission systems awards decreased YoY partially offset by strong awards in AT&O. Backlog reached a record $1.2 billion in Q2 FY2026, an increase of 31% YoY and 14% sequentially, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5x.RevenueQ2 FY2026 segment revenue was $304 million, a 3% increase YoY. The YoY revenue growth was driven primarily by product revenue increases in information security and cyber defense of 14% partially offset by lower tactical networking product revenues. Adjusted EBITDAQ2 FY2026 segment Adjusted EBITDA declined 15% YoY to $48 million. Strong operating performance in information security and cyber defense was more than offset by declines in space and mission systems, higher segment research and development investments supporting next generation encryption and space and mission system products, and D2D growth initiatives, along with declines in tactical networking. Defense and Advanced Technologies segment provides a diverse set of resilient, vertically integrated solutions, leveraging core technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms, to government and commercial customers AWARDS, REVENUE, AND ADJ.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Liquidity Operating Cash Flow Viasat generated $282 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, an increase of $43 million YoY and $24 million sequentially. The YoY increase primarily reflected improved operating earnings along with a decline in working capital largely from increases in accounts payable and lower accounts receivable. The sequential increase primarily reflected a decline in working capital due to an increase in accounts payable offset by lower operating earnings and the timing of interest payments. Capital ExpendituresQ2 FY2026 capital expenditures declined 7% YoY to $214 million primarily due to lower satellite expenditures related to timing of certain space, ground infrastructure and other capex payments. Free Cash Flow3, Net Debt4 and Liquidity Viasat generated $69 million in free cash flow during the quarter, an improvement of $58 million compared to prior year quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by a YoY increase in operating cash flow combined with a decline in capital expenditures. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, Viasat generated $147 million in free cash flow. Viasat ended Q2 FY2026 with $2.4 billion in available liquidity which consisted of $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.15 billion of borrowing ability under our two undrawn revolving credit facilities. Net debt declined sequentially to $5.5 billion resulting in a slight improvement in net debt relative to LTM Adjusted EBITDA.

Outlook Our second quarter FY2026 financial performance reflects continued execution and progress towards positioning Viasat for accelerated growth, strong cash generation and lower capital intensity. With the impending launch of VS-3 F2 soon followed by the expected launch of VS-3 F3, we expect to benefit from a substantial increase in our global capacity as the satellites enter service and are incorporated into our multi-orbit strategy, which is anticipated to fuel a long runway of high-growth opportunities in attractive markets we choose to serve. •For FY2026, we continue to expect low single digit YoY revenue growth and flattish YoY Adjusted EBITDA. O We continue to expect Communication Services segment FY2026 revenue performance to be flat compared to FY2025, driven by low double-digit growth in aviation services, offset by a lower rate of declines in FS&O. o We continue to expect Defense and Advanced Technologies segment FY2026 YoY revenue growth in the mid-teens, driven primarily by strong double-digit growth in both information security and cyber defense and space and mission systems. • We now expect net debt relative to LTM Adjusted EBITDA to decrease modestly by the end of FY2026.. • In FY2026, we continue to expect capital expenditures of approximately $1.2 billion, consistent with our prior guidance (which includes approximately $400 million for Inmarsat related capital expenditures). • We continue to expect another year of double-digit operating cash flow growth with the timing of satellite-related capital expenditures concentrated in the second half of the fiscal year. Once beyond those payments, we expect to return to free cash flow generation and expect positive free cash flow for FY2027. Our guidance does not include the impact of the Ligado lump sum payments, including the $420 million payment received this October after fiscal quarter end. We remain committed to building a solid foundation for accelerated and sustained growth, capital efficiency, and cash generation. Our future growth outlook is underpinned by large installed bases and strong secular drivers across our unique and diversified portfolio. We operate across one of the largest blocks of MSS spectrum in the world and have been a responsible user of that L-band spectrum since Inmarsat’s inception over 45 years ago. And, we remain dedicated to providing and evolving the vital services our commercial and government customers require around the world. We believe this drives meaningful upside value to our spectrum rights and have a comprehensive plan to reinforce our competitive positions and drive returns and enhanced shareholder value.

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., Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow, measures Viasat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Viasat’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. We believe net debt provides useful information to both management and investors in order to monitor our leverage (including our ability to service our debt and make capital expenditures) and evaluate our consolidated balance sheet. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply there is less debt than the most comparable GAAP measure. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make investments, fund acquisitions and for certain other activities. Free cash flow can vary significantly from period to period depending upon, among other things, operating asset and liability balances, service and product revenues, operating efficiencies, increases or decreases in purchases of property and equipment, subscriber additions (losses), subscriber churn, and other factors. 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 Viasat’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 under “Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation.” Copyright © 2025 Viasat, Inc. All rights reserved.
