Management Commentary

Adi Sfadia,
Gilat’s
CEO, commented: “We concluded the quarter with Adjusted EBITDA increasing 13% year over year to $17.6 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to approximately 15% while our Non-GAAP Net Income jumped over 21% to $14.3 million. This comes alongside revenues of $116.2 million, compared to $117.7 million in the same quarter last year. Due to cost and pricing discipline, these results were achieved despite weaker currency conditions and bad debt write-offs resulting from Hughes Network Systems’ Chapter 11 filing.”

Mr. Sfadia added, “Our revised revenue outlook reflects several factors. In IFC, we rescheduled certain terminal deliveries while working through commercial terms that are important to program profitability. Continued delays in LEO and GEO satellite development and launches, partly due to launch options scarcity, have pushed out the expected timing of certain network equipment orders. In Peru, agreements reached later than anticipated shifted some expected revenue into 2027.”

Mr. Sfadia concluded, “Changing market dynamics are intensifying competitive pressure, as vertically integrated LEO providers gain market share from traditional GEO providers. These changes in market dynamics reinforce the strategic direction we have been pursuing for several years: building our Defense segment through acquisitions and investments. This quarter’s Defense results show that the strategy is working, as our Defense segment continued its strong momentum, with revenues growing 53% year over year. Our acquisition of Comtech is the next major step in this shift. The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions. Once completed, it is expected to create a company with the scale to address accelerating demand for secure defense communications and a substantially larger U.S. presence, and to more than double defense revenues in 2027.

In addition, we continue to pursue a growing number of opportunities in next-generation ground infrastructure, IFC, and particularly in new sovereign satellite constellations, which represent an increasingly growing market for Gilat.”

Non-GAAP Measures

The attached unaudited summary consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). To supplement the summary consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP measurements of gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, income before taxes on income, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends, and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures mainly exclude, if and when applicable, the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, lease incentive amortization, other non-recurring expenses, other integration expenses, other operating expenses (income), net, and the income tax effect on the relevant adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and evaluate the Company’s financial and operating results on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company also believes this measure, when viewed in combination with the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period and may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. A reconciliation between the Company’s net income and Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached summary consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP presentations of gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, income before taxes on income, net income, Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Gilat’s operating performance or liquidity.
