Aviation, which includes industry-leading in-flight connectivity (IFC) services, narrowband safety operational data services and other complementary services and applications for commercial aircraft, business jets and unmanned aircraft. As of December 31, 2025, we had our IFC systems installed and in service on approximately 4,460 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 140 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance) and approximately 2,100 business jets with Ka-band communication services. We anticipate that approximately 1,100 additional commercial aircraft will be put into service with our IFC systems under existing customer agreements with commercial airlines. However, due to the nature of commercial airline contracts and other factors, such as increased competition and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) delays, there can be no assurance that anticipated IFC services will be activated on all such additional commercial aircraft.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets (ASC 360), we assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and satellites and other assets, when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) are less than the asset’s carrying value. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to results of operations. No material impairments were recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Previous wording

Our total revenues increased by $33.3 million as a result of a $19.8 million increase in product revenues and a $13.4 million increase in service revenues. The increase in product revenues was driven by a $21.4 million increase in our defense and advanced technologies segment, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in our communication services segment. The increase in service revenues was driven by increases of $6.9 million in our defense and advanced technologies segment and $6.6 million in our communication services segment.

Current wording

Our total revenues decreased by $14.5 million as a result of a $20.6 million decrease in product revenues, partially offset by a $6.1 million increase in service revenues. The decrease in product revenues was primarily driven by a $22.4 million decrease in our defense and advanced technologies segment, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in our communication services segment. The increase in service revenues was primarily driven by a $10.2 million increase in our defense and advanced technologies segment, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in our communication services segment.

Previous wording

Cost of revenues increased by $48.0 million due to increases of $44.1 million in cost of product revenues and $3.9 million in cost of service revenues. The increase in cost of product revenues correlated to product revenue growth in our defense and advanced technologies segment. Additionally, product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues. The increase in cost of service revenues was primarily driven by service revenue growth, mainly in our communication services segment.

Current wording

Cost of revenues decreased by $17.9 million due to decreases of $15.1 million in cost of service revenues and $2.8 million in cost of product revenues. The decrease in cost of service revenues was primarily driven by improved margins, mainly in our communication services segment. The decrease in cost of product revenues was due to product revenue decline, partially offset by a change in margins, mainly in our defense and advanced technologies segment, as product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior year period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues.

Previous wording

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses remained relatively flat year-over-year. SG&A expenses are comprised primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, acquisition and transaction related expenses, facilities, finance, contract administration and general management.

Current wording

The $7.8 million decrease in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses was primarily driven by an $8.9 million decrease in support costs, mainly in our communication services segment. SG&A expenses consisted primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, acquisition and transaction related expenses, facilities, finance, contract administration and general management.

Previous wording

The $10.2 million increase in independent research and development (IR&D) expenses was primarily a result of increased IR&D efforts supporting multi-orbit initiatives in our communication services segment and next-generation encryption products and Direct-to-Device (D2D) growth initiatives in our defense and advanced technologies segment.

Current wording

The $11.3 million increase in independent research and development (IR&D) expenses was primarily a result of increased IR&D efforts supporting multi-orbit initiatives in our communication services segment.

Previous wording

The $34.3 million decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to our decreased level of indebtedness compared to the prior year period, as the aggregate principal amount of our total outstanding indebtedness was $6.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information), in addition to the increase in capitalized interest.

Current wording

The $18.1 million decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period was primarily a result of our decreased level of indebtedness compared to the prior year period, as the aggregate principal amount of our total outstanding indebtedness was $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 compared to $6.7 billion as of June 30, 2025 (see Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information), in addition to the increase in capitalized interest.

Previous wording

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $58.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 63%. The effective tax rate for the period differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance, foreign tax rate differences and foreign tax audit adjustments. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $11.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7%. The effective tax rate for the period differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance, foreign tax rate differences, and decreases in our unrecognized tax benefits.

Current wording

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded an income tax provision of $23.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of negative 116%. The effective tax rate for the period differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance, foreign tax rate differences and foreign tax audit adjustments.

Previous wording

Our communication services segment revenues increased by $5.0 million as a result of a $6.6 million increase in segment service revenues, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in segment product revenues. The increase in segment service revenues was due to a $39.8 million increase in aviation services and a $7.3 million increase in government satcom services, partially offset by an expected decrease in revenues of $36.6 million from fixed services and other, as we continued to allocate a greater proportion of our bandwidth to our IFC business in preference to our U.S. fixed services business due to bandwidth constraints, as well as a $3.9 million decrease in maritime. The increase in IFC service revenues was primarily driven by the increase in the number of commercial aircraft and business jets receiving our in-flight services through our IFC systems, with our IFC systems installed and in service on approximately 4,460 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 140 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance), and approximately 2,100 business jets as of December 31, 2025, compared to approximately 4,030 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 80 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance) and approximately 2,000 business jets as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in segment product revenues was primarily attributable to the revenues generated in the prior year period by the energy services system integration business that we sold in December 2024.

Current wording

Our communication services segment revenues decreased by $2.3 million due to a $4.2 million decrease in segment service revenues, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in segment product revenues. The decrease in segment service revenues was primarily due to a $47.3 million decrease in fixed services and other and an $8.3 million decrease in maritime, mostly offset by a $31.5 million increase in aviation and a $20.0 million increase in government satcom. We continued to allocate a greater proportion of our bandwidth to our IFC business in preference to our U.S. fixed services business due to bandwidth constraints. Additionally, the IFC service revenue increase was driven primarily by the increase in the number of commercial aircraft receiving our in-flight services through our IFC systems, with our IFC systems installed and in service on approximately 4,630 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 100 were inactive mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance) as of June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 4,230 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 100 were inactive mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance) as of June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

The decrease in our communication services segment operating profit was primarily due to a $5.2 million increase in IR&D efforts supporting multi-orbit initiatives.

Current wording

The increase in our communication services segment operating profit was primarily due to higher earnings contributions of $19.7 million, reflecting higher service revenue margins. Additionally, we experienced a decrease of $11.1 million in SG&A costs, partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in IR&D efforts supporting multi-orbit initiatives.

Previous wording

Cost of revenues increased by $16.3 million due to increases of $9.1 million in cost of service revenues and $7.2 million in cost of product revenues. The increase in cost of service revenues was primarily driven by service revenue growth across both of our segments. The increase in cost of product revenues correlated to product revenue growth in our defense and advanced technologies segment. Additionally, product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues.

Current wording

The decrease in our defense and advanced technologies segment operating profit was primarily due to lower earnings contributions of $16.3 million, reflecting segment product revenue decline and a change in margins, as product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior year period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues.

Previous wording

The firm backlog does not include contract options. As of December 31, 2025, a little less than half of the firm backlog is expected to be delivered during the next 12 months, with the balance delivered thereafter. We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase orders, and not anticipated purchase orders and requests. In our communication services segment, our backlog includes fixed broadband service revenues under our subscriber agreements, but does not include future recurring IFC service revenues under our agreements with commercial airlines. As of December 31, 2025, our IFC systems were installed and in service on approximately 4,460 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 140 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance). We anticipate that approximately 1,100 additional commercial aircraft will be put into service with our IFC systems under existing customer agreements with commercial airlines. Due to the nature of commercial airline contracts and other factors such as increased competition and OEM delays, there can be no assurance that all anticipated purchase orders and requests will be placed or that anticipated IFC services will be activated on all such additional commercial aircraft.

Previous wording

We may, from time to time, seek to retire, prepay or repurchase our outstanding debt, including through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On May 2, 2025, we redeemed in full the remainder of Viasat’s 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 and on November 21, 2025, we repaid early all of the $300.0 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under Inmarsat’s original senior secured term loan facility (the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility). As a result, we recorded a loss of $11.6 million and $11.9 million in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), mostly related to an unamortized fair value adjustment made in purchase accounting for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

Previous wording

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 was $1.3 billion compared to $609.7 million in the prior year period. This $657.8 million increase was driven by a $498.4 million year-over-year decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets and liabilities and operating results (net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges), which resulted in $159.5 million of higher cash provided by operating activities year-over-year. The decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets and liabilities year-over-year was primarily due to an increase in our deferred revenues that was largely attributable to the receipt of the $420.0 million lump sum payment from Ligado during the current year period (see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information) and timing of payments related to accrued liabilities driven by interest and income taxes payables. Cash paid for income taxes, net, during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 and 2025 were $79.2 million and $174.6 million, respectively. Cash paid for interest (net of amounts capitalized) during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 and 2025 were $220.9 million and $271.0 million, respectively.

Current wording

Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2027 was $260.6 million compared to $258.5 million in the prior year period. This $2.1 million increase was driven by a $53.5 million year-over-year decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets, partially offset by our operating results (net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges) which resulted in $51.4 million of lower cash provided by operating activities year-over-year. The decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets during the first three months of fiscal year 2027 when compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the timing of payments related to our income taxes. Cash paid for income taxes, net, during the first three months of fiscal years 2027 and 2026 was $32.5 million and $34.5 million, respectively. Cash paid for interest (net of amounts capitalized) during the first three months of fiscal years 2027 and 2026 was $36.5 million and $59.3 million, respectively.

Previous wording

Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal year 2026 was approximately $663.7 million compared to $524.9 million in the prior year period. This $138.8 million increase reflected a $230.0 million decrease in cash receipts related to satellite insurance claim proceeds as the final payment was received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, partially offset by a decrease of $88.0 million in cash used for capital expenditures.

Current wording

Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2027 was approximately $218.9 million compared to $176.0 million in the prior year period. This $43.0 million increase in cash used in investing activities year-over-year reflected an increase of $20.9 million in cash used for capital expenditures.

Our complementary fleet of 23 in service or operational satellites spans the Ka-, L- and S- bands, with 13 Ka-band satellites, eight L-band satellites (three of which are contingency L-band satellites that are operational but not currently in commercial service), an S-band satellite that supports the European Aviation Network to provide IFC services to commercial airlines in Europe, and a hybrid Ka-/L-band satellite. In late July 2024, the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite completed in-orbit testing and was integrated into our existing satellite fleet covering the Americas. In May 2025, two Ka-band highly-elliptical earth orbit satellite payloads (GX10A and GX10B) were put in service to provide polar coverage. On November 13, 2025, we launched the second of our third-generation ViaSat-3 class satellites, ViaSat-3 F2, into orbit with expected service launch in the first half of fiscal year 2027. Furthermore, we have eight additional GEO satellites under development: a high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellite (ViaSat-3 F3), three adaptive Ka-band GEO satellites (GX7, GX8 and GX9) and four Inmarsat-8 L-band GEO safety service satellites. Our extensive satellite fleet enables us to provide a wide array of high-quality broadband and narrowband services with near global coverage (including strong oceanic coverage) with greater redundancy and resiliency.
