ViaSat Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Results

CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global broadband services and technology company, today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2017.

"Results for our second quarter were consistent with the objectives we established for this fiscal year," said Mark Dankberg, ViaSat chairman and CEO. "Government Systems revenue, operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA growth continued to be very strong, driven by broadband mobility, tactical data links, and information assurance and cyber security. In-flight connectivity investments delivered key milestones with new customers including American Airlines and Qantas that clear the way for rapid growth in airplanes in service in the quarters ahead. We are very pleased that JetBlue has expanded their relationship with us in order to gain coverage with ViaSat-2, and to foster even greater passenger engagement with their award winning Fly-Fi(®) service. ViaSat-2 orbit raising is almost complete, and we are positioning our services portfolio to reflect its capabilities. Residential ARPU continued to grow to record levels, reflecting strong demand, as we introduced more plans with higher speed and greater bandwidth on our existing satellites."

Satellite Services
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, ViaSat's Satellite Services segment revenues were essentially flat year-over-year, after exclusion of the prior year benefit of $6.6 million associated with payments under the Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) settlement, which concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. Segment operating profits and Adjusted EBITDA were lower as compared to the prior year period, as a result of increased expenses relating to preparations for the impending ViaSat-2 service launch and a ramp-up in large-scale commercial in-flight connectivity services. Highlights for the quarter include:

    --  In preparation for ViaSat-2 service launch, the Company began to trial a
        number of new service plans including a wide range of unlimited data
        options.
    --  ARPU in the residential business grew 9% year-over-year to a record high
        of $67.35, reflecting a higher mix of new and existing subscribers
        choosing premium service plans and value added services, and a slightly
        higher proportion of retail subscribers. This ARPU increase nearly
        offset the effects of a decrease in the total number of residential
        subscribers, as the Company began to de-emphasize older service plans.
        Total residential subscribers at the close of the second quarter of
        fiscal 2018 were approximately 589,000.
    --  At the close of the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, there were 576
        commercial aircraft in service equipped with ViaSat's in-flight internet
        system, and we expect to install our system on approximately 830
        additional aircraft under existing contracts.
    --  Key airline customer highlights:
        --  EL AL Israel Airlines selected ViaSat as its in-flight internet
            partner of choice for its new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
        --  Announced today, ViaSat and JetBlue expanded their relationship. In
            the new agreement, ViaSat will serve as the direct in-flight
            internet service provider to the airline, upgrading JetBlue aircraft
            to the latest ViaSat hardware, which will provide access to the
            expanded coverage and capacity of ViaSat's next-generation ViaSat-2
            and ViaSat-3 satellite platforms.

Fiscal-year-to-date, Satellite Services segment revenues, operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA were lower compared to the same period last year. This loss reflected the $13.2 million year-over-year impact to revenues and operating profit due to the completion of payments under the SS/L settlement agreement in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, plus costs associated with the preparation for the ViaSat-2 service launch and strong commercial in-flight connectivity service ramp, both of which are expected to occur in the second half of fiscal year 2018.

Commercial Networks
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, ViaSat's Commercial Networks segment activities continued to be heavily focused on R&D investment in the Company's ultra-high capacity ViaSat-3 class satellite constellation and in ramping its commercial airline programs, which included new spend for Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) and line-fit programs. This investment activity resulted in a 45% increase in R&D expenses compared to the prior year period. Quarterly revenues were down 14% compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of lower fixed terminal sales for Australia's nbn(TM) satellite broadband service, partially offset by delivery of the first next-generation in-flight connectivity systems in September 2017. Finally, the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 included investments to meet demand for accelerating mobile terminal deliveries. As a result, segment operating losses were higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 as compared to the same period last year. Highlights for the quarter include:

    --  The ViaSat-2 satellite orbit raising is on schedule, and in-orbit
        testing and the subsequent on-orbit handover from Boeing are expected to
        be completed before the end of calendar year 2017.
    --  ViaSat completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) milestones for the
        ViaSat-3 class spacecraft. ViaSat and Boeing are now proceeding with
        full construction, integration and testing of the first two ViaSat-3
        class satellites.
    --  Initial next-generation mobile terminals have shipped and have been
        installed on customer aircraft, marking a major commercial in-flight
        milestone for the Company.
    --  Announced earlier this week, ViaSat signed a EUR68 million Public
        Private Partnership between its wholly-owned subsidiary ViaSat Antenna
        Systems S.A. and the European Space Agency (ESA), to develop and
        productize key components of the ViaSat-3 class satellite communications
        system. The partnership is co-funded by ESA with the support of European
        Union member states, ViaSat and other organizations within the European
        space and communications industries.

Fiscal-year-to-date, Commercial Networks segment revenues were lower, operating loss was higher and Adjusted EBITDA was lower compared to the same period last year, reflecting the same year-over-year impacts and investment trends seen in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Government Systems
ViaSat's Government Systems segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 were 7% higher year-over-year, equaling $189.2 million. This growth was achieved in large part due to increased demand for ViaSat's tactical data link products, government mobility platforms and secure networking products, which all address critical challenges in a rapidly changing macro defense environment. Operating profit increased to $34.2 million, an 18% increase year-over-year, and quarterly Adjusted EBITDA hit a new high of $51.5 million, up 15% compared to the prior year period. Operating profit and revenue growth continue to be driven by strong demand for ViaSat's unique Non-Developmental Item (NDI) products initiated under Company-funded R&D programs in prior periods, alongside expanding demand for advanced government mobile broadband solutions. Highlights for the quarter include:

    --  Fiscal-year-to-date segment contract awards equaled $430.5 million,
        reflecting a 1.2 to 1 book-to-bill ratio, and a strong segment backlog
        of $689.0 million, driving total Company backlog to $1.1 billion.
    --  ViaSat announced key awards:
        --  Royal Canadian Navy deployed ViaSat's end-to-end Link 16
            communications system on its Halifax-class frigates
        --  U.S. Government awarded the option for ViaSat to provide global
            in-flight connectivity services on U.S. Government Senior Leader
            aircraft
        --  Northrop Grumman Australia selected ViaSat to deliver

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. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures ViaSat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of ViaSat's past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. 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 the Company'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.
