(NASDAQ: CMTL) (\u201cComtech\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a global communications technology leader, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the \u201cTransaction\u201d) to sell most of its Satellite and Space Communications (\u201cS&amp;S\u201d) segment to Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (\u201cGilat\u201d) (NASDAQ: GILT, TASE: GILT), and become a focused public safety technology company. The Transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Comtech and Gilat.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder the terms of the agreement, Gilat will acquire most of the S&amp;S segment for $157.5 million, of which $10.0 million is being paid today. In addition, Comtech will retain certain cyber-focused assets currently within the S&amp;S segment as well as rights to certain S&amp;S accounts receivable collections. The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Company currently expects the Transaction to close in calendar Q4 2026, subject to the timing of regulatory review.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company also announced amendments to its existing credit facilities and agreed to replace the existing series of convertible preferred stock with a new series of convertible preferred stock. These agreements not only provide the necessary consents to the Transaction, but also deliver immediate improvements that enhance the Company&#8217;s financial flexibility. Comtech anticipates that upon closing the Transaction, the Company will use the net cash proceeds to reduce debt and recapitalize the business to provide a stronger and healthier financial position for the remaining Allerium business.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe sale of most of the S&amp;S segment, together with the agreements we have reached with our lenders and preferred stockholders, represent a significant milestone in Comtech\u2019s transformation and reflect the successful execution of our strategy,\u201d said Ken Traub, Chairman, President and CEO. \u201cI would like to thank and compliment Daniel Gizinski and the entire S&amp;S leadership and operational teams for the successful turnaround and improved positioning of this business. I would also like to thank and compliment our entire organization for their dedication to the Company\u2019s transformative initiatives, and specifically Mike Bondi and the finance team, Don Walther and the legal team and Jennie Kerr and the people operations team. This organization has done an incredible job over the past several quarters in executing on our transformation to improve profitability, cash flow and the capital structure, streamline our operations and sharpen our strategic focus on building Allerium&#8217;s public safety business. Finally, I would like to thank all of our partners and stakeholders for their patience and support in the execution of our plans to build long-term sustainable value for the Company and our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Traub continued, \u201cOver the next few months as we await regulatory approval, we will be executing a transition plan to align the organization to be purpose-built to support Allerium&#8217;s growth as a leader in next-generation public safety technologies and services. Under Jeff Robertson&#8217;s leadership, Allerium has been enhancing its mission-critical solutions for public safety agencies and mobile network operators through a growing portfolio of software, cloud-native, data-driven and AI-enabled capabilities. Allerium sits at the center of NG911, call handling, location-based services, and real-time data critical to the coordination of emergency response. With an improved capital structure, streamlined organization and a clear strategic focus, Allerium is poised to capitalize on its leadership in the public safety market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nUpon closing, the Company will align its operations, strategy and brand with its public safety focus and will transition to the Allerium name. Allerium will be able to direct investment, innovation, and execution around a single mission-critical market with significant long-term demand drivers as public safety solutions continue to evolve from voice-based connections to data-centric communication, coordination and real-time AI-enhanced decision-making. With a simpler operating model, a strengthened balance sheet, and a single strategic focus, Allerium intends to accelerate its growth of recurring software and services revenue and expand margins and operating leverage while investing more decisively in the innovation its public safety customers depend upon.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAllerium is well-positioned to build upon the leadership we have established in the public safety market, as we are the first to bring together the complete emergency response ecosystem \u2014 from device location to the systems, networks and data analysis that help drive action and connect people to emergency assistance,\u201d said Jeff Robertson, President of Allerium. \u201cThe industry is expanding beyond voice as agencies and network operators face increasing data complexity, rising call volumes, workforce constraints and growing expectations for real-time situational awareness. This evolution is creating new opportunities for AI-assisted intelligent workflows, real-time information correlation, and technologies designed to help public safety operators manage increasing volumes of critical information during active incidents. We believe Allerium will play a leading role in defining the next generation of emergency communications by helping public safety move beyond connectivity toward coordination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are proud of our entire team who contributed to the significant turnaround and repositioning of our S&amp;S business,&#8221; commented Daniel Gizinski, President of S&amp;S. \u201cWe will continue to support our mission, customers and partners going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are impressed with the successful progress of Comtech and look forward to welcoming its Satellite and Space Communications segment into Gilat,&#8221; said Adi Sfadia, CEO of Gilat. \u201cThis segment brings a talented team and strong technology, and we believe it is an excellent strategic fit with Gilat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nComtech anticipates the net cash proceeds from the Transaction to range from approximately $143.0 million to $145.0 million, after deducting estimated Transaction related expenses of approximately $12.5 million to $14.5 million. Such net cash proceeds do not include any additional proceeds that the Company may generate from assets that have been part of the S&amp;S business and retained by Comtech. In accordance with its existing credit facilities, the Company will use 65% of the net proceeds from the Transaction to prepay the majority of its senior secured credit facility, with the remaining 35% to prepay subordinated debt outstanding, starting with repaying the subordinated priority term loan.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn connection with aligning its operations, strategy and brand with a public safety focus, the Company anticipates investing between approximately $12.0 million and $14.0 million for transition related costs. Such costs are expected to be incurred mostly in fiscal 2027 and associated with business systems tools, capabilities, personnel and reporting functions. After completing the sale of most of the S&amp;S business and after approximately one year of transition implementation, Comtech anticipates annual cost savings, excluding one-time non-recurring expenses, to range from approximately $11.0 million to $13.0 million.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2026, net sales for the businesses being retained by Comtech were approximately $249.0 million and funded backlog as of April 30, 2026 was $554.0 million. Considering the above anticipated cost savings, the Company estimates that pro forma Adjusted EBITDA would have been between approximately $33.0 million and $35.0 million for the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2026. Such amounts are unaudited estimates. Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, is defined in Comtech\u2019s Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC on June 15, 2026.
