Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation

The Business – Gogo Inc. (“Gogo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the only multi-orbit, multi-band in-flight connectivity provider offering connectivity technology purpose-built for business and military/government aviation. The Company has a holistic approach of providing broadband connectivity services to its customers from small to large aircraft and heavy jets through the Company’s air-to-ground (“ATG”) technology and access to multiple satellite constellations, which aim to deliver consistent, global tip-to-tail connectivity with a suite of software, hardware, and advanced infrastructure supported by a 24/7/365 customer support team.

Segments – As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Satcom Direct on December 3, 2024, as described in Note 2, “Acquisition of Satcom Direct,” the Company has two reportable segments: the legacy pre-acquisition operations of the Company, (“Gogo BA”) and the acquired entities, Satcom Direct. The Gogo BA segment provides in-flight connectivity for business aviation via ATG and satellite networks. The Satcom Direct segment provides global satellite-based communication solutions primarily for business and military/government aircraft. Satcom Direct is managed as a separate reportable segment, but in the future, we may realign our reportable segments after integrating the Satcom Direct business.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2025 (the “2024 10-K”). These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

We hadone class of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the significant estimates and bases such estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Accounting standards not yet adopted:

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, most notably in the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. As this guidance only impacts disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issues ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses which requires disclosure about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have upon our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

  1. Acquisition of Satcom Direct

On December 3, 2024 (the “Closing”), the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Satcom Direct, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Satcom Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation) and certain of its affiliates and their collective subsidiaries (collectively, “Satcom Direct”), pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, dated as of September 29, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Satcom Direct operates worldwide with an international sales and service team based in nine countries. Satcom Direct sells its in-flight connectivity and communication services and equipment globally through their international sales force to OEMs, governments, military, and private fleet companies among others.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Satcom Direct in exchange for:(i) an aggregate cash purchase amount of $375 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Cash Consideration”), (ii) five million restricted shares (the “Stock Consideration”) of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (iii) up to an additional $225 million in potential earnout payments of cash and/or Common Stock tied to realizing certain financial performance milestones over the next four years (the “Earnout Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, the “Acquisition Consideration”). The Cash Consideration was financed via the Company’s $250 million HPS Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the remainder with cash on hand. The Earnout Consideration has an estimated fair value of$53 million and is included in Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of the Earnout Consideration was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation based on future gross profit projections of Satcom Direct, gross profit volatility rates of comparable companies and a risk adjusted discount rate. The fair value measurement was based on significant unobservable inputs and thus represents a Level 3 measurement.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Acquisition Consideration (in thousands):

Estimated Aggregate Acquisition Consideration
Share consideration
Common Stock issued per the Purchase Agreement5,000
Share price on December 2, 20248.10
Stock Consideration$40,500
Cash Consideration$346,900
Settlement of pre-existing relationship$393
Estimated fair value of Earnout Consideration$53,000
Preliminary fair value of estimated aggregate Acquisition Consideration$440,793

The Company allocated the purchase price to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets and liabilities was allocated to goodwill. The Company determined the preliminary estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the Closing, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management's estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received. The Company expects to finalize the valuation no later than one year from the Closing.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing based on the preliminary purchase price allocation (in thousands):

Total liabilities assumed$122,442
Net assets acquired$256,179
Goodwill$184,614

The allocation of the purchase price presented above was based on management's preliminary estimate of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. These valuation techniques incorporate the use of future projected revenues and cash flows as well as estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and liabilities are valued at historical carrying values, which approximate fair value, except as described below. The fair value measurements discussed below were based on significant inputs that are not observable and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. Inventories were valued using a combination of the comparative sales method, which estimated the expected sales price of the products, reduced by all costs expected to be incurred to complete the inventory, as well as a profit on the sale and estimated replacement cost. Assets held for sale represent the main corporate facility of Satcom Direct and associated land in Melbourne, Florida. The Company expects to sell the assets within the next twelve months. Assets held for sale were valued using the income approach less the direct costs associated with selling the assets. Property and equipment, net were valued using a combination of the cost and market approaches. Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenue that will be derived from sales of connectivity services and equipment to existing customers of Satcom Direct. Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. This method of valuation reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by these existing customers less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows. Software and the tradename were valued under the relief from royalty method, which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the software or tradename as opposed to paying a third party for its use. The estimated fair value of operating leases was determined based on current market terms, which resulted in a net unfavorable adjustment to the right-of-use asset. After assessing the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company recorded goodwill of$184.2 million as of December 31, 2024. As a result of subsequent measurement period adjustments, the balance of acquired goodwill increased to$184.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Of the total goodwill amount,$174.2 million is attributable to the U.S. entities and is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, synergies, and economies of scale.

Supplemental Pro-Forma Information (Unaudited)

The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 as if the acquisition of Satcom Direct had occurred on January 1, 2023. The amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and are based upon currently available information. The unaudited pro-forma information for the period presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition: (i) the change in Cost of Equipment to reflect the fair value change in inventory, (ii) incremental stock compensation expense, and adjustments for change in control bonuses that vest after the Closing as post-combination compensation expense, (iii) additional Depreciation and amortization expense related to the step up in fair value for finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment acquired, (iv) removal of historical interest expense associated with Satcom Direct’s historical indebtedness which was extinguished upon consummation of the acquisition and the addition of interest expense related to financing the acquisition (refer to Note 9, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities,” for additional information), and (v) the related tax effects assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023. Pre-acquisition revenue and net income amounts for Satcom Direct were derived from the books and records prepared prior to the acquisition and are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations or of the results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place as of the date noted below.

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share was computed using the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation. Contingently issuable shares are only included in the diluted earnings per share computation once all necessary conditions have been satisfied.

The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the effect of stock options, deferred stock units, performance stock units, restricted stock units and the potential Earnout Consideration when the computation is anti-dilutive. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted average number of shares excluded from the computation was 28.7 million and 2.8 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for thethree-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

  1. Revenue Recognition

Remaining performance obligations

As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price in our contracts allocated to the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RPO”) was approximately$595 million and excludes consideration from contracts that have an original duration of one year or less. Approximately$585 million of the RPO primarily represents connectivity and entertainment service revenues which are recognized as services are provided, which is expected to occur through the remaining term of the contracts. Our contracts vary in length and generally have terms oftwo toten years. We expect to recognize approximately 43% of our connectivity and entertainment service RPO within the next year, approximately 43% inone tofive years and the remaining 14% infive toten years. The remaining$10 million of the RPO represents future equipment revenue that is expected to be recognized primarily within the next three years as equipment is shipped.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we recognized revenue of$16.8 million that was previously included in the beginning balance of deferred revenue.

  1. Government Assistance

FCC Reimbursement Program

On July 15, 2022, the Company was notified that it was approved for participation in the FCC Reimbursement Program, designed to reimburse providers of advanced communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of covered communications equipment or services, that have been deemed to pose a national security risk, from their networks. Pursuant to the FCC Reimbursement Program, the FCC approved up to approximately $334 millionin reimbursements to the Company to cover documented and approved costs to (i) remove and securely destroy all ZTE communications equipment and services in the Company’s terrestrial U.S. networks and replace such equipment and (ii) remove and replace certain equipment installed on aircraft operated by the Company’s ATG customers that is not compatible with the terrestrial equipment that will replace ZTE equipment. Due to an initial shortfall in the amount appropriated by Congress to fund the FCC Reimbursement Program, approximately $132 million of the approved amount is currently allocated to the Company under the program. Following passage of the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (“FY 2025 NDAA”), the Company was recently allocated its full approved amount of approximately $334 million. Program participants are subject to a number of conditions and requirements under the FCC’s rules including a requirement that they submit their first reimbursement request by July 17, 2023 and certify that they have developed a plan to permanently remove, replace and dispose of covered equipment or services within one year following the first reimbursement request. The rules permit participants to petition the FCC for one or more six-month extensions of the completion deadline. The Company submitted and received its first reimbursement claim in July 2023. Due to a number of factors, including supply chain disruptions, the insufficiency of the FCC funding prior to the passage of the FY 2025 NDAA, and the operational and logistical complexity of replacing airborne equipment, the Company was unable to complete the program by July 2024. As a result, the Company sought and was granted two six-month extensions by the FCC and was subsequently granted a one-year extension related to the FY 2025 NDAA, currently extending the program completion deadline to May 8, 2026. As outlined in the Company’s application to the FCC and status reports filed to date, and as previously disclosed by the Company, the Company expects to require additional extensions past the May 8, 2026 date and will thus be petitioning the FCC for multiple program extensions.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recorded a$10.7 million and $9.7 million receivable from the FCC, respectively, which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Research and development costs are reported as Engineering, design and development expenses in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  1. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets are comprised of both indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test of our indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and the results from the test performed in the fourth quarter of 2024 indicated no impairment. We also reevaluate the useful life of indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

On December 3, 2024, Gogo and GIH entered into a second amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement, by and among, Gogo, GIH, guarantors party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, among other purposes, (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments available under the 2021 Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount of revolving commitments equal to $122 million and (b)extend the maturity date of the revolving facility to December 3, 2029 (subject to such maturity date springing to the date that is 90 days prior to the then-current maturity date of (a) the 2021 Term Loan Facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement and (b) the HPS Term Loan Facility under the HPS Credit Agreement under certain conditions).

The 2021 Term Loan Facility amortizes in nominal quarterly installments equal to one percent of the aggregate initial principal amount thereof per annum, with the remaining balance payable upon final maturity of the 2021 Term Loan Facility. There are no amortization payments under the Revolving Facility.

The 2021 Term Loan Facility bears annual interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at GIH’s option, either (i) an adjusted term secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin of 3.75% and a credit spread adjustment of approximately 0.11%, 0.26% or 0.43% per annum based on 1-month, 3-month or 6-month term SOFR, respectively or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%.

Loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility bear annual interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at GIH’s option, either (i)an adjusted term SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.00% per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio. Additionally, unused commitments under the Revolving Facility are subject to a fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum depending on GIH’s senior secured first lien net leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2025, the fee for unused commitments under the Revolving Facility was 0.25% and the applicable margin was 4.00% for SOFR rate loans and 3.00% for alternate rate loans.

The 2021 Facilities may be prepaid at GIH’s option at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs), subject to minimum principal payment amount requirements. On May 3, 2023, the Company prepaid $100 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Term Loan Facility. This prepayment satisfied the required amortization payments for the remaining term of the 2021 Term Loan Facility.

Subject to certain exceptions and de minimis thresholds, the 2021 Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to:

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, insurance recovery and condemnation events, subject to reduction to 50% and 0% if specified senior secured first lien net leverage ratio targets are met;

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt offerings; and

50% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), subject to reduction to 25% and 0% if specified senior secured first lien net leverage ratio targets are met.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things: incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of disqualified equity interests; incurrence or existence of liens; consolidations or mergers; activities of Gogo and any subsidiary holding a license issued by the FCC; investments, loans, advances, guarantees or acquisitions; asset sales; dividends or other distributions on equity; purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock; payment or redemption of certain junior indebtedness; entry into other agreements that restrict the ability to incur liens securing the 2021 Facilities; and amendment of organizational documents; in each case subject to customary exceptions.

The Revolving Facility includes a financial covenant set at a maximum senior secured first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50:1.00, which will apply if the outstanding amount of loans and unreimbursed letter of credit drawings thereunder at the end of any fiscal quarter exceeds 35% of the aggregate of all commitments thereunder.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, which, if any of them occurred, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all of the then outstanding obligations under the 2021 Facilities to be due and payable immediately and the commitments under the Revolving Facility to be terminated.

The Revolving Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes of GIH and its subsidiaries and was undrawn as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Term Loan Facility was$601.4 million and $601.4 million, respectively, the unaccreted debt discount was$1.6 million and$1.7 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount was$599.9 million and $599.8 million, respectively.

We paid approximately $21.6 million of loan origination and financing costs related to the 2021 Facilities, which are being accounted for as deferred financing costs on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the terms of the 2021 Facilities. Total amortization expense was$0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for thethree-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and is included in interest expense in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the 2021 Facilities was$9.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

On April 30, 2021, Gogo, GIH, and each direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of GIH (Gogo and such subsidiaries collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), whereby GIH and the Guarantors guarantee the obligations under the 2021 Facilities and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the Guarantee Agreement, and GIH and the Guarantors entered into a collateral agreement (the “Collateral Agreement”), in favor of the Collateral Agent, whereby GIH and the Guarantors grant a security interest in substantially all of their respective tangible and intangible assets (including the equity interests in each direct material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary owned by GIH or any Guarantor, and 65% of the equity interests in any non-U.S. subsidiary held directly by GIH or any Guarantor), subject to certain exceptions, to secure the obligations under the 2021 Facilities and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the Collateral Agreement. The liens granted under the 2021 Term Loan Facility are subject to an intercreditor agreement and arepari passu with the liens granted under the HPS Term Loan Facility (as defined below).

HPS Credit Agreement

On December 3, 2024, the Company and GIH entered into a credit agreement (the “HPS Credit Agreement” and together with the 2021 Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) with HPS Investment Partners, LLC, as the administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, which provides for a term loan credit facility (the “HPS Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The HPS Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments equal to one percent of the aggregate initial principal amount thereof per annum, with the remaining balance payable upon final maturity of the HPS Term Loan Facility on April 30, 2028.

The HPS Term Loan Facility bears annual interest at a floating rate measured by reference to, at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted term SOFR (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus an initial applicable margin of 6.00%, which is subject to two leverage-based step-downs of up to 0.25% each or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 5.00%, which is subject to two leverage-based step-downs of up to 0.25% each.

The HPS Term Loan Facility may be prepaid at the Company’s option, at any time, without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs, and except that (a) during the first 12 months following the closing of the HPS Credit Agreement, certain prepayments of the HPS Term Loan Facility are subject to a 3.00% prepayment premium and (b) during the period from 12 months to

24 months following the closing of the HPS Credit Agreement, certain prepayments of the HPS Term Loan Facility are subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium), subject to minimum principal repayment amount requirements.

Subject to certain exceptions and de minimis thresholds, the HPS Term Loan Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to:

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, insurance recovery and condemnation events;

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt offerings; and

75% of annual excess cash flow (as defined in the HPS Credit Agreement), subject to reduction to 50% if specified senior secured first lien net leverage ratio targets are met.

The HPS Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things: the incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of disqualified equity interests; the incurrence or existence of liens; consolidations or mergers; activities of the Company; the making of investments, loans, advances, guarantees or acquisitions; asset sales; the making of dividends or other distributions on equity; the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital stock; payment or redemption of certain junior indebtedness; activities of Federal Communications Commission license holders; entry into other agreements that restrict the ability to incur liens securing the HPS Term Loan Facility.

The HPS Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, which, if any of them occurred, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all of the then outstanding obligations under the HPS Term Loan Facility to be due and payable immediately.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the HPS Term Loan Facility was$248.8 million and $249.4 million, respectively, the unaccreted debt discount was$4.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount was$244.2 million and $244.5 million, respectively.

We paid approximately $2.2 million of loan origination and financing costs related to the HPS Credit Agreement which are being accounted for as deferred financing costs on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the HPS Credit Agreement. Total amortization expense was$0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and is included in interest expense in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the balance of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the HPS Credit Agreement was$2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

On December 3, 2024, Gogo, GIH, and the Guarantors entered into a guarantee agreement (the “HPS Guarantee Agreement”) in favor of HPS Investment Partners, LLC, as collateral agent (the “HPS Collateral Agent”), whereby GIH and the Guarantors guarantee the obligations under the HPS Term Loan Facility and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the HPS Guarantee Agreement, and GIH and the Guarantors entered into a collateral agreement (the “HPS Collateral Agreement”), in favor of the Collateral Agent, whereby GIH and the Guarantors grant a security interest in substantially all of their respective tangible and intangible assets (including the equity interests in each direct material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary owned by GIH or any Guarantor, and 65% of the equity interests in any non-U.S. subsidiary held directly by GIH or any Guarantor), subject to certain exceptions, to secure the obligations under the HPS Term Loan Facility and certain other secured obligations as set forth in the HPS Collateral Agreement. The liens granted under the HPS Term Loan Facility are subject to an intercreditor agreement and arepari passu with the liens granted under the 2021 Term Loan Facility.

  1. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. We currently use interest rate caps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes, and have designated these interest rate caps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the earnings impact of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded upon the recognition of the variable interest payments related to the hedged debt.

In May 2021, we purchased interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million for $8.6 million. The cost of the interest rate caps will be amortized to interest expense using the caplet method, from the effective date through termination date. We receive payments in the amount calculated pursuant to the caps for any period in which the daily compounded SOFR rate plus a credit spread adjustment recommended by the Alternative Reference Rate Committee of 0.26% increases beyond the applicable strike rate. The notional amounts of the interest rate caps periodically decrease over the life of the caps.

The notional amounts, strike rates and end dates of the cap agreements are as follows(notional amounts in thousands):

Start DateEnd DateNotionalAmountsStrike Rate
7/31/20217/30/2023$650,0000.75%
7/31/20237/30/2024525,0000.75%
7/31/20247/30/2025350,0001.25%
7/31/20257/30/2026250,0002.25%
7/31/20267/30/2027200,0002.75%

We record the effective portion of changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized. The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense in the event the hedges are no longer considered effective, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. No gains or losses of our cash flow hedges were considered to be ineffective and reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings for thethree-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We estimate that approximately$1.7 million currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. We assess the effectiveness of the hedges on an ongoing basis, and the remaining outstanding caps are still considered to be highly effective, and remain designated as a cash flow hedge. Cash flows from interest rate caps are classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as investing activities.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of $3.0 million, net of tax of $0.8 million, and for thethree-month period ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a decrease in fair value on the interest rate caps of$1.5 million, net of tax of $0.2 million. Increases and decreases in fair value on interest rate caps above exclude amortization of the purchase price paid for the interest rate caps.

When derivatives are used, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks (based on significant observable inputs - Level 2 inputs).

The following table presents the fair value of our interest rate derivatives included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented (in thousands):

March 31, · December 31,
Derivatives designated as hedging instrumentsBalance sheet location20252024
Current portion of interest rate capsPrepaid expenses and other current assets$6,087$7,351
Non-current portion of interest rate capsOther non-current assets$4,173$6,660

Fair Value Measurement

Our derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of interest rate caps, which are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives entered into by us are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using discounted cash flows along with fair value models that primarily use market observable inputs. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, interest rate yield curves, and counterparty credit risks.

  1. Interest Costs

We capitalize a portion of our interest on funds borrowed during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and amortized over the useful lives of the assets.

The following is a summary of our interest costs for thethree-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024(in thousands):

Total interest costs$17,945$9,279
  1. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

A three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 - defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Refer to Note 10, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for fair value information relating to our interest rate caps.

Investment in Convertible Note:

On February 26, 2024, Gogo invested $5 million in a convertible note offering (“Investment in Convertible Note”). The Investment in Convertible Note accrues interest at 5% per annum, payable upon maturity of the note or upon conversion, and matures two years after the date of issuance. We have elected to measure our Investment in Convertible Note using the fair value option and record changes in fair value, including accrued interest, in Other (income) expense, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company elected the fair value option for the Investment in Convertible Note to eliminate complexities of applying certain accounting models.

The fair value of the Investment in Convertible Note is measured using Level 3 (unobservable) inputs. The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, determined the fair value using a binomial lattice model. The significant assumptions used in the model include the yield, equity volatility, outstanding principal, remaining term, stated interest rate, risk-free interest rate and the current publicly available stock price. The yield is estimated using similar security yields for companies with similar credit ratings. Equity volatility is estimated based on observed equity volatility for similar companies. The outstanding principal, remaining term and stated interest rate are all determined based on contractually defined terms and the risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the remaining time to maturity.

The Investment in Convertible Note is included in Prepaid and other current assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances were as follows(in thousands):

Long-Term Debt:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our only financial assets and liabilities disclosed but not measured at fair value are the 2021 Term Loan Facility and the HPS Term Loan Facility, which are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at cost. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are based on quoted market prices of our instruments in markets that are not active. We estimated the fair values of the 2021 Term Loan Facility and the HPS Term Loan Facility by calculating the upfront cash payments a market participant would require to assume these obligations. The upfront cash payments used in the calcula tions of fair values on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding any issuance costs, are the amounts that a market participant would be willing to lend at such date to an entity with a credit rating similar to ours and that would allow such an entity to achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the scheduled cash outflows under the 2021 Term Loan Facility and HPS Term Loan Facility.

The fair value and carrying value of long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows(in thousands):

  1. Income Tax

The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 36.6% and 26.4%, respectively. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, our effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and stock-based compensation. For thethree-month period ended March 31, 2024, our effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, nondeductible officer’s compensation, and stock-based compensation, partially offset by tax benefits related to domestic research and development tax credits.

We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance related to our deferred income tax assets to determine, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of such deferred assets will not be realized. In our assessments, the Company considers recent financial operating results, the scheduled expiration of our net operating losses, future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable differences, and tax planning strategies. The remaining valuation allowance is still required for deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards as it is more likely than not as of March 31, 2025 that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We are subject to taxation and file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, various states and several foreign jurisdictions including, but not limited to, Canada, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and Singapore. With a few exceptions, as of March 31, 2025, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.

We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision line item in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions were recorded for thethree-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we didnot have a liability recorded for interest or potential penalties.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation and Retirement Plans

Stock-Based Compensation —As of March 31, 2025, we maintained the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of both equity and cash awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards (shares and units), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred share units and other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents to eligible employees, directors and consultants, as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. See Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation and 401(k) Plan,” in our 2024 10-K for further information regarding the 2024 Plan. The majority of our equity grants are awarded on an annual basis.

Additionally, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Satcom Direct on December 3, 2024,2,275,000 shares were granted, consisting of a combination of RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) (together, the “Inducement Awards”) by the Compensation Committee. The RSUs will vest in equal annual installments over thefive-year period following the grant date. The PSUs are subject to performance-based vesting and will vest when the performance-based vesting conditions are met. Though not awarded pursuant to the 2024 Plan, the Inducement Awards have been issued subject to the terms and conditions of the 2024 Plan.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, no options to purchase shares of common stock were granted, options to purchase 224,889 shares of common stock were exercised, no options to purchase shares of common stock were forfeited and 16,958 options to purchase shares of common stock expired.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025,1,764,776 RSUs were granted,741,553 RSUs vested and 92,938 RSUs were forfeited. The fair value of the RSUs granted during thethree-month period ended March 31, 2025 was approximately$13.1 million, which will generally be recognized over a period offour years.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025,55,680 deferred stock units were granted and 104,936 vested. The fair value of the deferred stock units granted during thethree-month period ended March 31, 2025 was approximately$0.5 million, which was recognized immediately.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025,35,939 shares of common stock were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The following is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense by operating expense line in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations(in thousands):

Retirement Plans — We have a 401(k) plan for U.S.-based employees, as well as various defined contribution plans for international employees. Eligible U.S. employees may make tax-deferred contributions under the 401(k) plan, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. We match contributions towards the 401(k) plan and international defined contribution plans, subject to annual limitations. Our matching contributions were$1.1 million and$0.6 million, respectively, during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

  1. Leases

Operating and Financing Leases — We determine whether a contract contains a lease at contract inception and calculate the lease liability and right-of-use asset using our incremental borrowing rate.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Commitments – We have agreements with various vendors under which we have remaining commitments to purchase hardware components and development services. Such commitments will become payable as we receive the hardware components, or as development services are provided.

On May 17, 2024, Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (“Airspan”) filed a plan supplement to its Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, Case No. 24-10621 (the “Plan”), whereby the Company and Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress”) agreed in principle to each provide fifty percent (50%) of a new first lien revolving facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $20.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). Unless otherwise extended by the parties, any amounts outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility shall be due and payable in full on the first anniversary of the closing date of the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Plan, including the Company’s participation in the New Revolving Credit Facility, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on June 28, 2024. On June 27, 2024, Airspan and the Company amended the Master Service Agreement, dated November 25, 2019. Further, on October 11, 2024, in connection with Airspan becoming a private company, the Company, Airspan and Fortress executed the necessary documents for the New Revolving Credit Facility to become effective. The New Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn as of December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of the New Revolving Credit Facility was $5.0 million, of which $2.5 million was the Company’s obligation and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2025, Airspan borrowed another $5.0 million under the New Revolving Credit facility, of which $2.5 million was the Company’s obligation.

The Company accrued a contingent liability of $5.0 million in Accrued liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for state and local taxes in a variety of jurisdictions for periods between 2010 and 2023 related to Satcom Direct’s pre-acquisition business activities. While the Company believes that the reserve represents the best current estimate of any potential liability in state and local taxes, there can be no assurance that the outcome of discussions with any state taxing authority will not result in the payment of state sales taxes for prior periods, or that the amount of any such payments will not be materially different than the liability currently recorded. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has accrued a $5.0 million indemnification receivable in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 2, “Acquisition of Satcom Direct,” for further information on the Purchase Agreement.

SmartSky Litigation –On February 28, 2022, SmartSky Networks, LLC (“SmartSky”) brought suit against Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) alleging that Gogo 5G infringes four patents owned by the plaintiff. On February 21, 2023, the plaintiff amended its complaint to allege that Gogo 5G infringes two additional patents recently issued to the plaintiff. The suit seeks compensatory damages as well as treble damages for alleged willful infringement and reimbursement of plaintiff's costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees. On May 29, 2024, Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC amended its answer and counterclaims in the same suit, alleging that three of the six patents asserted by SmartSky are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct before the U.S. Patent Office. A trial date has been scheduled for November 17, 2025. Claim construction proceedings, fact discovery and expert discovery are completed. Dispositive motions were filed on October 25, 2024 and await resolution. We continue to vigorously defend our position in the infringement suit. The outcome of the underlying litigation is inherently uncertain. No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses.

On March 5, 2024, Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC filed counterclaims in the same suit, alleging that SmartSky’s ATG network, Flagship equipment, and LITE ATG equipment infringe three patents owned by Gogo. Gogo’s counterclaim suit seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages as well as reimbursement of Gogo's costs and attorneys' fees. On April 10, 2024, the Court held that Gogo's counterclaims would proceed under a separate schedule and would be tried separately from SmartSky's claims. The court entered a scheduling order for Gogo’s counterclaims on January 14, 2025 with a trial date of March 8, 2027.

On December 16, 2024, SmartSky sued Gogo Inc. and its subsidiaries alleging that Gogo maintains an illegal monopoly over air-to-ground broadband inflight connectivity products and services and has blocked SmartSky from entering the market in violation of antitrust laws. SmartSky also alleges claims of false advertising, unfair and deceptive trade practices, and tortious interference. The suit seeks actual damages, treble damages, punitive damages, disgorgement of profits, reimbursement of plaintiff's costs, attorneys' fees, pre- and post-judgment interest, and interest on actual damages. On March 14, 2025, Gogo Inc. and its subsidiary Gogo Business Aviation LLC filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. We will vigorously defend our position in this lawsuit. The outcome of the litigation is inherently uncertain. No amounts have been accrued for any potential losses under this matter, as we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the litigation or any potential losses.

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. With respect to such legal proceedings, we accrue a loss when it is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated. Regardless of the outcome of any particular litigation and the merits of any particular claim, litigation can have a material adverse impact on our Company due to, among other reasons, any injunctive relief granted, which could inhibit our ability to operate our business, amounts paid as damages or in settlement of any such matter, diversion of management resources and defense costs.
