Luxembourg, 27 July 2016
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), operator of the world’s first Globalized Network, powered by its leading satellite backbone, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Intelsat reported total revenue of $542.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Net income attributable to Intelsat S.A. was $116.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Intelsat reported EBITDA1, or earnings before net interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, of $403.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $410.7 million, or 76 percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Intelsat Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Spengler said, “Our 2016 business objectives are progressing on plan, with two of our four planned launches successfully completed and continued momentum on our next generation high throughput Intelsat EpicNG® platform. Our launch and in-service timelines remain on track. We are loading traffic onto our Intelsat 29e satellite, which entered into service in late March, and placed Intelsat 31 into service in late July. We recently signed our first global contract for our managed mobility service, IntelsatOne® Flex, an important milestone as we continue to build a differentiated, global high throughput service platform.”
“With $542 million in revenue and $411 million in Adjusted EBITDA, our second quarter financial results are consistent with our expectations for 2016,” continued Mr. Spengler. “Second quarter performance by customer set reflects the trends and operational accomplishments that were anticipated in the 2016 guidance established in February, and which we are reaffirming in totality today. As new capacity enters service over the balance of this year, we expect both our network services and media businesses to improve. In addition, the solid renewals and the six-month extension of an expiring contract will benefit our government business.”
Mr. Spengler added, “Our backlog continues to provide visibility into future revenue and cash flows that allows us to invest in our fleet and pursue our long-term business strategy. Backlog at June 30, 2016 was $9.2 billion, over four times our annual revenue. We are focused on effectively managing our capital structure while continuing to invest in initiatives that will drive customer growth.”
