ViaSat Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 Results

Revenue up 16%; Adjusted EBITDA up 17% to record levels; New contract awards increase 23%

Carlsbad, Calif. – February 11, 2014 – ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), an innovator in satellite and other wireless networking systems and services, announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. Revenues increased 16% to $332.6 million compared to the same period last year, and Adjusted EBITDA hit record levels, growing 17% year-over-year to $56.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. Non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders was $0.03 per share, or a loss of $0.13 per share on a diluted GAAP basis – compared to net income of $0.04 and a loss of $0.47 per share, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

ViaSat’s fiscal year-to-date results also reflected strong growth. Revenues increased 24% to $1.0 billion and Adjusted EBITDA grew 34% to $163.8 million compared to the same period last year. Net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders increased to $0.35 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis, or a loss of $0.13 per share on a diluted GAAP basis - compared to the prior year period losses of $0.18 and $0.99 per share, respectively.

“We are very pleased with the balance in our third quarter and year-to-date results,” said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. “We’ve maintained double-digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, and substantially increased discretionary investments to defend and extend our technology lead in fixed and mobile satellite broadband networks. The launch of Exede® In The Air via JetBlue’s Fly-Fi™ service is an exciting example of opportunities uniquely enabled by our satellite network assets and innovative technologies. We aim to create an opportunity for disproportionately strong growth by redefining the in-flight Wi-Fi experience - engaging up to 10 times the number of passengers per flight, with speeds 10 to 100 times faster than competing systems, at costs far lower than possible with conventional infrastructure. We are fortunate to have similar disruptive opportunities in several key markets.”

1  ViaSat uses a 52 or 53 week fiscal year which ends on the Friday closest to March 31. ViaSat quarters for fiscal year 2014 end on June 28, 2013, October 4, 2013, January 3, 2014, and April 4, 2014. This results in a 53 week fiscal year approximately every four to five years. Fiscal year 2014 is a 53 week year, compared with a 52 week year in fiscal year 2013. As a result of the shift in the fiscal calendar, the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 included an additional week. ViaSat does not believe that the extra week resulted in any material impact on its financial results.
2  Attributable to ViaSat Inc. common stockholders.
3  As the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013 financial information resulted in a net loss, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as diluted shares would be anti-dilutive.
4  Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments.

Satellite Services

Our Satellite Services segment reported revenues of $98.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, an increase of 37% year-over-year. We ended the quarter with nearly 620,000 consumer broadband subscribers and performed over 85,000 installations, including new additions and migrations. Our Satellite Services segment Adjusted EBITDA was $23.0 million for the third quarter, which more than doubled the amount reported for the same period last year, despite our substantial investments in intellectual property protection and legal expenses related to our high capacity satellite technologies. On a year-to-date basis, segment Adjusted EBITDA grew by 144% to $58.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period last year.

Commercial Networks

Our Commercial Networks segment generated $91.9 million in revenues during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, an increase of $23.2 million, or 34%, compared to the same period last year. Year-to-date revenues also grew significantly, increasing by $68.1 million to $299.4 million compared to the same period last year as we continue to make progress on our international Ka-band infrastructure projects (including commencement of initial gateway installation) and ramp up production on our aeronautical mobile broadband systems contracts. Segment Adjusted EBITDA results of $2.3 million for the third quarter were relatively unchanged compared to last year, overcoming the increased investments in next generation satellites and integrated networking systems, which more than doubled year over year. Nonetheless, year-to-date segment Adjusted EBITDA grew significantly to $22.2 million, representing a 104% increase compared to the same period last year.

Government Systems

Our Government Systems segment reported revenue of $142.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, a decrease of $4.0 million compared to the same period last year as completion of a Blue Force Tracking satellite service bandwidth contract offset growth in both command and control system production as well as sales of information assurance and security platforms. Year-to-date revenue growth compared to the same period last year remained solid at 11%. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $31.4 million and $83.4 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, a decrease of 11% and 5%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. These results reflect our investment in dual band mobility systems, as well as network expansion costs supporting our government mobility offerings. Our military mobile broadband service revenue base remains strong, including a $52 million contract renewal awarded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.

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 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.
