NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of RigNet, Inc. (the Company or RigNet) include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information becomes available and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from estimates. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2017.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to RigNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016 for information regarding the Company’s accounting policies.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 (ASU 2015-14), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08 (ASU 2016-08), Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations. The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April and May of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10 (ASU 2016-10) and Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12 (ASU 2016-12), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), respectively, that provide scope amendments, performance obligations clarification and practical expedients. These ASUs allow for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018. The Company’s evaluation of this ASU included a detailed review of representative contracts from each segment and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU introduces a new lessee model that generally brings leases on the balance sheet. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (ASU 2016-09), Share Based Compensation. The new ASU simplifies several aspects of share based compensation including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the second quarter of 2016 and has applied the guidance as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 (ASU 2016-15), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new ASU reduces diversity of practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics, including the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18 (ASU 2016-18), which includes restricted cash in the cash and cash equivalents balance in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Business Combinations

Energy Satellite Services

On July 28, 2017, RigNet acquired substantially all the assets of Energy Satellite Services (ESS). ESS is a supplier of wireless communications services via satellite networks primarily to the midstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The assets acquired enhance RigNet’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) customer portfolio, and strengthen the Company’s US land and Internet-of-Things (IoT) market position. The Company paid $22.2 million in cash for the ESS assets. ESS is based in Texas.

The assets and liabilities of ESS have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

The goodwill of $8.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and ESS, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of ESS, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Applications and Internet-of-Things segment.

Data Technology Solutions

On July 24, 2017, RigNet acquired substantially all the assets of Data Technology Solutions (DTS). DTS provides comprehensive communications and IT services to the onshore, offshore, and maritime industries, as well as disaster relief solutions to global corporate clients. The Company paid $5.1 million in cash for the DTS assets. DTS is based in Louisiana.

The assets and liabilities of DTS have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

The goodwill of $0.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and DTS, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of DTS, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Managed Services segment.

Cyphre Security Solutions

On May 18, 2017, RigNet completed its acquisition of Cyphre Security Solutions (Cyphre) for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid $4.9 million in cash in May 2017, $3.3 million in stock and expects to pay $3.8 million of contingent consideration for intellectual property, estimated as of the date of acquisition. The initial estimate of the contingent consideration for intellectual property is preliminary and remains subject to change based on certain post-closing contractual options under the acquisition agreement. Cyphre is a cybersecurity company that provides advanced enterprise data protection leveraging BlackTIE^® hardware-based encryption featuring low latency protection for files at rest and in transit for both public and private cloud. Cyphre is based in Texas.

The contingent consideration for Cyphre is measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $3.9 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Cyphre contingent consideration of $0.1 million with corresponding increases to other liabilities.

The assets and liabilities of Cyphre have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

The goodwill of $4.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and Cyphre, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of Cyphre, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Applications and Internet-of-Things segment.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet incurred $0.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which are reported as general and administrative expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Additional costs related to these acquisitions will be incurred and recorded as expense during the remainder of 2017.

TECNOR

On February 4, 2016, RigNet completed its acquisition of Orgtec S.A.P.I. de C.V., d.b.a. TECNOR (TECNOR) for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $11.4 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid $4.8 million in cash in February 2016, paid $0.1 million for final net working capital and expected to pay a $6.5 million contingent consideration earn-out, estimated as of the date of acquisition. The initial estimate of the earn-out payable was preliminary and remains subject to change based on the achievement of certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement. The maximum earn-out is $21.3 million. TECNOR provides telecommunications solutions for remote sites on land, sea and air, including a wide array of equipment, voice and data services, satellite coverage and bandwidth options in Mexico. These services are provided to industrial, commercial and private users in diverse activity segments including mission critical military and government applications, oil and gas operations, commercial fishing and leisure. TECNOR is based in Monterrey, Mexico.

The assets and liabilities of TECNOR have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

The earn-out for TECNOR is measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the earn-out was $5.2 million. There was a $0.8 million reduction in fair value to the TECNOR earn-out for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 recorded as a reduction of other current liabilities and a decrease to general and administrative expense in the Corporate segment. The change in fair value was due to a forecast of TECNOR’s future achievement of the post-closing performance targets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNOR earn-out liability of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to other current liabilities. The earn-out is payable in 2018.

The goodwill of $6.5 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and TECNOR, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of TECNOR, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Managed Services segment.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3 – Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company is exposed to various business and credit risks including interest rate, foreign currency, credit and liquidity risks.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has significant interest-bearing liabilities at variable interest rates which generally price monthly. The Company’s variable borrowing rates are tied to LIBOR resulting in interest rate risk (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt). The Company presently does not use financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk, but evaluates this on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has exposure to foreign currency risk, as a portion of the Company’s activities are conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the currencies that could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company presently does not hedge these risks, but evaluates financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. Foreign currency translations are reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas industry. The Company mitigates the risk of financial loss from defaults through defined collection terms in each contract or service agreement and periodic evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable.

Liquidity Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions and has not experienced losses associated with these accounts during 2017 or 2016. Liquidity risk is managed by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt).

Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill resulted from prior acquisitions as the consideration paid for the acquired businesses exceeded the fair value of acquired identifiable net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually with additional evaluations being performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

Due to the change in segments (see Note 12 – Segment Information) and reporting units during the third quarter of 2017, the Company re-allocated goodwill to each reporting unit based on relative fair value.

The Company acquired $8.6 million of goodwill in the ESS acquisition completed on July 28, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $0.6 million of goodwill in the DTS acquisition completed on July 24, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $4.6 million of goodwill in the Cyphre acquisition completed on May 18, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company acquired $6.5 million of goodwill in the TECNOR acquisition completed on February 4, 2016 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company performs its annual impairment test on July 31^stof each year, with the most recent annual test being performed as of July 31, 2017. The July 2017 annual test resulted in no impairment as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value plus goodwill of that reporting unit. No impairment indicators have been identified in any reporting unit as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, goodwill was $37.1 million and $22.0 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation, and increases with acquisitions.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of customer relationships, non-competes, brand name, technology, backlog and licenses acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions. Intangibles also include internal-use software. The Company’s intangibles have useful lives ranging from 1.7 to 7.0 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Impairment testing is performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

In June 2016, the Company identified a triggering event for a license in Kazakhstan associated with a decline in cash flow projections. In June 2016, the Company conducted an intangibles impairment test and as a result of such test, recognized a $0.4 million impairment of licenses in the Corporate segment, which was the full amount of the Company’s intangibles within Kazakhstan.

No impairment indicators have been identified in any reporting unit as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, intangibles were $32.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized amortization expense of $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized amortization expense of $4.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth expected amortization expense of intangibles for the remainder of 2017 and the following years (in thousands):


2017		1,833

Note 5 – Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had restricted cash of $0.1 million and $1.5 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had restricted cash of $0.1 million and $1.5 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively. The restricted cash in long-term assets was primarily used to collateralize a performance bond in the Managed Services segment (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt). The restricted cash in current assets as of December 31, 2016 was an escrowed portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of TECNOR.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Covenants and Restrictions

The Company’s credit agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a ratio of funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the credit agreement, of less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of September 30, 2017. If any default occurs related to these covenants, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest shall be declared immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants in the credit agreement.

In February 2016, the Company amended its credit agreement with the most significant changes being the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio and the timing associated with delivery of financial statements and compliance certificates to the administrative agent.

In December 2016, the Company further amended its credit agreement with the most significant changes being voluntarily reducing the revolving credit facility from $125 million to $75 million and changing the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and certain other definitions contained in the credit agreement.

Note 7 – Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

•

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Reported amounts approximate fair value based on quoted market prices (Level 1).

•

Restricted Cash — Reported amounts approximate fair value.

•

Accounts Receivable — Reported amounts, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets.

•

Accounts Payable, Including Income Taxes Payable and Accrued Expenses — Reported amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

•

Long-Term Debt — The carrying amount of the Company’s floating-rate debt approximates fair value since the interest rates paid are based on short-term maturities and recent quoted rates from financial institutions. The estimated fair value of debt was calculated based upon observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to the Company at the end of each respective period.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, are measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

The earn-out for TECNOR is measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the earn-out was $5.2 million. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the earn-out was $5.7 million. There was a $0.8 million reduction in fair value to the TECNOR earn-out for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 recorded as a reduction of other current liabilities and a decrease to general and administrative expense in the Corporate segment. The change in fair value was due to a forecast of TECNOR’s future achievement of the post-closing performance targets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNOR earn-out liability of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to other liabilities. (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was (22.2%) and (11.5%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (59.5%) and (54.7%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

The Company has computed the provision for taxes for the current and comparative periods using the actual year-to-date effective tax rate. The Company’s financial projections for those periods did not provide the level of detail necessary to calculate a forecasted effective tax rate.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $3.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, may be necessary within the coming year due to lapse in statute of limitations.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted a total of 226,974 restricted stock units (RSUs) to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). Of these, the Company granted (i) 125,852 RSUs to certain officers and employees that generally vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, (ii) 33,586 RSUs issued to directors that vest in May 2018 and (iii) 67,536 performance share units (PSUs) to certain officers and employees that generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and are subject to continued employment and certain performance based targets. The ultimate number of PSUs issued is based on a multiple determined by certain performance based targets.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 126,788 RSUs and 28,445 stock options were forfeited.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $8.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10 – Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of basic shares outstanding. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. Basic shares exclude the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock and RSUs. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted shares equal the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, other than antidilutive shares, if any, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect. In periods when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were approximately 723,296 and 644,858 potentially issuable shares, respectively, excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because the Company incurred a loss in the period and to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were approximately 1,919,696 and 1,228,397 potentially issuable shares, respectively, excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because the Company incurred a loss in the period and to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

Global Xpress (GX) Dispute

Inmarsat plc (Inmarsat), a satellite telecommunications company, and the Company are in a dispute relating to a January 2014 agreement regarding the purchase by the Company of up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years (GX dispute). The parties are attempting to resolve the GX dispute through a contractually-stipulated arbitration process that began in October 2016. The parties dispute whether Inmarsat has met its contractual obligations with respect to the service under the agreement. In July 2017, pursuant to its contractual rights under the agreement, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the agreement to Inmarsat.

The Company has incurred legal expenses of $0.8 million in connection with the GX dispute for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company may continue to incur significant legal fees, related expenses and management time in the future. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the GX dispute, the total costs to be incurred or the potential impact on personnel.

Based on the information available at this time and management’s understanding of the GX dispute, the Company does not deem the likelihood of a material loss related to this dispute to be probable, so it has not accrued any liability related to the dispute. At this stage of the arbitration, the range of possible loss is not reasonably estimable, but could range from zero to the maximum amount payable under the contract for the services plus expenses.

Other Litigation

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a claimant or a defendant in various legal proceedings, including proceedings as to which the Company has insurance coverage and those that may involve the filing of liens against the Company or its assets.

Sales Tax Audit

The company is undergoing a routine sales tax audit in a state where it has operations for the period from August of 2011 to May of 2015. It is expected that the audit and the appeals process, if necessary, will be completed within the next three months. The Company does not believe that the outcome of the audit will result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Our Operations

We are a global technology company that provides customized communications services, applications and cybersecurity solutions enhancing customer decision making and business performance. We provide solutions ranging from fully-managed voice and data networks to more advanced applications that include video conferencing, asset and weather monitoring, real-time data services and cybersecurity under a multi-service recurring revenue model.

Customers use our private networks to manage information flows and execute mission-critical operations primarily in remote areas where conventional telecommunications infrastructure is either unreliable or unavailable. We provide our clients what is often the sole means of communications for their remote operations.

Network service customers are primarily served under fixed-price contracts, either on a monthly or day rate basis or for equipment sales. Our contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service orders that have a term of one to three years with renewal options, while land-based locations are generally shorter term or terminable on short notice without a penalty. Service orders are executed under the MSA for individual remote sites or groups of sites, and generally may be terminated early on short notice without penalty in the event of force majeure, breach of the MSA or cold stacking of a drilling rig (when a rig is taken out of service and is expected to be idle for a protracted period of time).

We previously operated our business under two reportable segments: Managed Services and Systems Integration (previously called SI&A). During the third quarter of 2017, after we completed the ESS acquisition, we reorganized our business and reportable segments. Applications and Internet-of-Things is now managed and presented as a separate segment, and was previously presented in the Managed Services segment. All historical segment financial data included herein has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. We now operate three reportable segments, which are managed as distinct segments by our chief operating decision-maker.

•

Managed Services. Our Managed Services segment provides remote communications, telephony and technology services for offshore and onshore drilling rigs and production facilities, support vessels, and other remote sites.

•

Applications and Internet-of-Things (Apps & IoT). Our Apps & IoT segment provides applications over-the-top of the Managed Services including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings including BlackTIE^® encryption, weather monitoring primarily in the North Sea (METOCEAN) and certain other value added services such as Adaptive Video Intelligence (AVI).

•

Systems Integration. Our Systems Integration segment provides design and implementation services for customer telecommunications systems. Solutions are delivered based on the customer’s specifications, adhering to international industry standards and best practices. Project services may include consulting, design, engineering, project management, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning and maintenance.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of satellite charges, voice and data termination costs, network operations expenses, internet connectivity fees, equipment purchases for Systems Integration projects and direct service labor. Satellite charges consist of the costs associated with obtaining satellite bandwidth (the measure of capacity) used in the transmission of service to and from leased satellites. Direct service labor consists of field technicians, our Network Operations Center (NOC) employees, and other employees who directly provide services to customers. Network operations expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation of our NOC, which is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on all property, plant and equipment either installed at a customer’s site or held at our corporate and regional offices, as well as intangibles arising from acquisitions and internal use software. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions, travel costs and marketing communications. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with our management, finance, contract, support and administrative functions.

Profitability generally increases or decreases at a site as we add or lose customers and value-added services. Assumptions used in developing the rates for a site may not cover cost variances from inherent uncertainties or unforeseen obstacles, including both physical conditions and unexpected problems encountered with third party service providers.

Recent Developments

On November 6, 2017, we entered into our third amended and restated credit agreement, which provides for a $15.0 million term loan facility and an $85.0 million revolving credit facility that matures on November 6, 2020 with interest payable monthly at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% based on a consolidated leverage ratio and principal payments of $1.25 million due quarterly beginning March 31, 2018.

During the third quarter of 2017, we incurred restructuring expense of $0.8 million associated with the reduction of 31 employees.

On July 28, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets of Energy Satellite Services (ESS). ESS is a supplier of wireless communications services via satellite networks primarily to the midstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The assets acquired enhance our product offering, add to our existing midstream Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) customer portfolio, and strengthen our IoT market position. We paid $22.2 million in cash for the ESS assets. ESS is based in Texas.

On July 24, 2017, we acquired substantially all the assets of Data Technology Solutions (DTS). DTS provides comprehensive communications and IT services to the onshore, offshore, and maritime industries, as well as disaster relief solutions to global corporate clients. We paid $5.1 million in cash for the DTS assets. DTS is based in Louisiana.

In July 2017, we delivered a notice of termination of an agreement with Inmarsat to acquire capacity from Inmarsat’s GX network. We will continue to offer other solutions to our customers as we have in the past. We will continue to evaluate and make available the best service options for our customers’ telecommunication needs.

On May 18, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Cyphre Security Solutions (Cyphre) for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, we paid $4.9 million in cash, $3.3 million in stock and expect to pay $3.8 million of contingent consideration for intellectual property, estimated as of the date of acquisition. The initial estimate of the contingent consideration for intellectual property is preliminary and remains subject to change based on certain post-closing contractual options under the acquisition agreement. Cyphre is a cybersecurity company that provides advanced enterprise data protection leveraging BlackTIE^® hardware-based encryption featuring low latency protection for files at rest and in transit for both public and private cloud. Cyphre is based in Texas.

In January 2017, we signed and announced an eight-year lease for new headquarters space, comprised of 28,808 square feet located at 15115 Park Row Blvd, Suite 300, Houston, Texas. The term of this lease runs through June 2025.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Operating Matters

Uncertainties in the oil and gas industry may continue to impact our profitability. The fundamentals of the oil and gas industry we serve remain challenged into 2017, particularly offshore. Oil prices declined significantly throughout 2015 and into 2016 from the highs in mid-year 2014 due to lower-than-expected global oil demand growth, increased supply from U.S. unconventional sources and increased production from several international countries. Although oil prices and U.S. onshore drilling rig counts have increased since their 2016 lows, the oil and gas environment continues to be challenged with operators focusing on shorter term, land-based projects that generally require less capital investment. Generally, a prolonged lower oil price environment decreases exploration and development drilling investment, utilization of drilling rigs and the activity of the global oil and gas industry that we serve. Several global exploration and production companies reduced their capital spending budgets, including the cancellation or deferral of existing programs, and are expected to continue operating under reduced budgets in the current commodity price environment.

For the periods referenced below, we were billing on the following sites listed in the table below:

(2)	Includes U.S. onshore drilling and production sites, completion sites, man-camps, remote offices, and supply bases and offshore-related supply bases, shore offices, tender rigs and platform rigs

In addition, uncertainties that could impact our profitability include service responsiveness to remote locations, communication network complexities, political and economic instability in certain regions, cyber-attacks, export restrictions, licenses and other trade barriers. These uncertainties may result in the delay of service initiation, which may negatively impact our results of operations. Additional uncertainties that could impact our operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, timing of collecting our receivables, and our ability to increase our contracted services through sales and marketing efforts while leveraging the contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Sales Tax Audit

We are undergoing a routine sales tax audit in a state where we have operations for the period from August of 2011 to May of 2015. It is expected that the audit and the appeals process, if necessary, will be completed within the next three months. We do not believe that the outcome of the audit will result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Global Xpress (GX) Dispute

We are in a dispute with Inmarsat relating to a January 2014 take or pay agreement to purchase up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years. We are attempting to resolve the dispute through a contractually-stipulated arbitration process that began in October 2016. The parties dispute whether Inmarsat has met its contractual obligations with respect to the service under the agreement. In July 2017, pursuant to our contractual rights under the agreement, we delivered a notice of termination of the agreement to Inmarsat.

We have incurred legal expenses of $0.8 million in connection with the GX dispute for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We may continue to incur significant legal fees, related expenses and management time in the future. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the GX dispute, the total costs to be incurred or the potential impact on personnel.

Based on the information available at this time and our understanding of the GX dispute, we do not deem the likelihood of a material loss related to this dispute to be probable, so we have not accrued any liability related to the dispute. At this stage of the arbitration, the range of possible loss is not reasonably estimable, but could range from zero to the maximum amount payable under the contract for the services plus expenses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue. Revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 0.5%, to $50.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $50.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was driven by increased revenues in the Apps & IoT and Systems Integration segments, partially offset by lower revenue in the Managed Services segment. The Apps & IoT segment increased $3.4 million, or 221.2%, due to our growth strategy which focuses on growth into the application layer and IoT space including the acquisition of ESS, which contributed $1.3 million. The Systems Integration segment increased $2.2 million, or 64.8%, due to the timing of Systems Integration projects. The Managed Services segment decreased $5.4 million, or 11.9%, primarily due to decreased offshore drilling sites served and decreased revenue-per-site from offshore drilling rigs partially offset by $1.1 million from the acquisition of DTS. The decrease of 10 offshore drilling sites served was primarily due to offshore drilling rigs we previously served being cold-stacked or scrapped partially offset by new sales wins. The decreased revenue-per-site from offshore drilling rigs is primarily due to decreased multi-tenancy ratios from operators on offshore drilling rigs. As rigs that we serve hot-stack (when a rig is taken out of service but is ready to mobilize on short notice) due to the current economic environment, the opportunity to serve the operator and earn additional revenue is lost until the drilling rig is subsequently contracted for service. Revenue continues to be impacted by previously announced reductions in offshore drilling.

Cost of Revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by $2.5 million, or 8.5%, to $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenue increased in the Apps & IoT segment by $2.7 million as we invest in our strategy of expanding into the application layer and IoT space including the acquisition of ESS and Cyphre. Cost of revenue increased in the Systems Integration segment by $1.2 million due to the timing of Systems Integration projects. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the Managed Services segment by $1.4 million primarily due to reductions in ongoing expenses partially offset by the acquisition of DTS.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower levels of capital expenditures in recent years, partially offset by the recent acquisitions of Cyphre, DTS and ESS.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense increased $0.7 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was due to investing in our growth strategy.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. General and administrative costs increased due to the acquisition of Cyphre and ESS and related acquisition costs in the Apps & IoT segment. General and administrative costs decreased in the Managed Services and Systems Integration segments due to reductions in ongoing expenses partially offset by the acquisition of DTS.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was (22.2%) and (59.5%) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $19.8 million, or 11.8%, to $148.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $167.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was driven by lower revenues across the Managed Services and Systems Integration segments, partially offset by an increase in the Apps & IoT segment. The Managed Services segment decreased $24.2 million, or 16.5%, primarily due to decreased offshore drilling sites served and decreased revenue-per-site from offshore drilling rigs partially offset by $1.1 million from the acquisition of DTS. The decrease of 10 offshore drilling sites served was primarily due to offshore drilling rigs we previously served being cold-stacked or scrapped partially offset by new sales wins. The decreased revenue-per-site from offshore drilling rigs is primarily due to decreased multi-tenancy ratios from operators on offshore drilling rigs. As rigs that we serve hot-stack (when a rig is taken out of service but is ready to mobilize on short notice) due to the current economic environment, the opportunity to serve the operator and earn additional revenue is lost until the drilling rig is subsequently contracted for service. Revenue continues to be impacted by previously announced reductions in offshore drilling. The Systems Integration segment decreased $0.3 million, or 2.0%, due to the timing of Systems Integration projects. The Apps & IoT segment increased $4.8 million, or 93.9%, due to our growth strategy which focuses on growth into the application layer and IoT space including the acquisition of ESS, which contributed $1.3 million.

Cost of Revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased by $4.1 million, or 4.1%, to $95.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $99.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the Managed Services segment by $9.7 million primarily due to reductions in ongoing expenses partially offset by the acquisition of DTS. Cost of revenue increased in the Systems Integration segment by $0.9 million due to the timing of Systems Integration projects. Cost of revenue increased in the Apps & IoT segment by $4.7 million as we invest in our strategy of expanding into the application layer and internet-of-things space including the acquisition of ESS and Cyphre.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.7 million to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $25.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower levels of capital expenditures in recent years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets. We recognized $0.4 million in impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In June 2016, we identified a triggering event for a license in Kazakhstan associated with a decline in cash flow projections. In June 2016, we conducted an intangibles impairment test and as a result of such test, recognized a $0.4 million impairment of licenses in the Corporate segment, which was the full amount of intangibles within Kazakhstan.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense increased $0.4 million to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was due to investing in our growth strategy.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $8.0 million to $31.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. General and administrative costs decreased in the Managed Services and Systems Integration segments due to reductions in ongoing expenses partially offset by the acquisition of DTS. General and administrative costs increased in the Apps & IoT segment due to the acquisition of Cyphre and ESS and related acquisition costs.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rate was (11.5%) and (54.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2017, we had working capital, including cash, of $44.8 million.

Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient for the conduct of our business and operations for the foreseeable future. We may also use a portion of our available cash to finance growth through the acquisition of, or investment in, businesses, products, services or technologies complementary to our current business, through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or otherwise, or to pay down outstanding debt.

During the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand and availability under our credit facility. In forecasting our cash flows we have considered factors including contracted services related to long-term deepwater drilling programs, U.S. land rig count trends, projected oil and natural gas prices, and contracted and available satellite bandwidth.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional expansion opportunities within the next year which could require additional financing, either debt or equity.

Beyond the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, availability under our credit facility and additional financing activities we may pursue, which may include debt or equity offerings.

Currently, the Norwegian kroner and the British pound sterling are the foreign currencies that could materially impact our liquidity. We presently do not hedge these risks, but evaluate financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 90.2% and 84.6% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during 2017 of $1.9 million was primarily due to decreased operating activity.

Our cash provided by operations is subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of the oil and gas industry and, therefore, the demand for our services. Other factors impacting operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, as well as the timing of collecting our receivables. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to increase our contracted services through our sales and marketing efforts while leveraging our contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $45.0 million and $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Net Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $32.2 million paid in connection with acquisitions consisting of $4.9 million for Cyphre, $5.1 million for DTS and $22.2 million for ESS. Net Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $4.8 million paid for the acquisition of TECNOR. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 includes capital expenditures of $13.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively. We expect capital expenditures for 2017 to continue to be low due to continued reduced levels of global offshore oil and gas drilling activity.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $16.7 million in principal payments on our long-term debt partially offset by draws of $15.0 million on our revolving credit facility. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included $9.4 million in principal payments on our long-term debt.

Credit Agreement

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has a $60.0 million term loan (Term Loan) and a $75.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), which includes a $15 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

The Term Loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%, based on a ratio of funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the credit agreement. Interest is payable monthly along with quarterly principal installments of $2.1 million, with the balance due October 2018. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.1% and 2.4%, respectively, with an interest rate of 3.2% at September 30, 2017. The Term Loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was $27.9 million.

The RCF matures in October 2018 with any outstanding borrowings then payable. Borrowings under the RCF carry an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%, which varies as a function of the Company’s leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2017, $32.0 million in draws on the facility remain outstanding. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.1% and 2.4%, respectively, with an interest rate of 3.2% at September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, there were $6.3 million in standby letters of credit issued, which reduces our availability under the RCF.

In February 2016, we amended our credit agreement with the most significant changes being the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio and the timing associated with delivery of financial statements and compliance certificates to the administrative agent.

In December 2016, we amended our credit agreement with the most significant changes being voluntarily reducing RCF from $125 million to $75 million and changing the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and certain other definitions contained in the credit agreement.

Our credit agreement imposes certain restrictions including limitations on our ability to obtain additional debt financing and on our payment of cash dividends. It also requires us to maintain certain financial covenants such as a funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio of less than or equal to 2.5 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. At September 30, 2017, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net loss, operating income (loss), basic or diluted earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment, foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities, (gain) loss on retirement of property, plant and equipment, change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, merger and acquisition costs, executive departure costs, restructuring charges and non-recurring items.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

•

Investors and securities analysts use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Adjusted EBITDA;

•

By comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year; and

•

Adjusted EBITDA is an integral component of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined and used in the financial covenant ratios in the credit agreement.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

•

To indicate profit contribution;

•

For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and as a key element of annual incentive programs;

•

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and

•

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (gain) loss on retirement of property, plant and equipment;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the stock based compensation component of employee compensation;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition costs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect executive departure costs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring charges;

•

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and

•

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures. We believe Unlevered Free Cash Flow is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

•

Investors and securities analysts use Unlevered Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Unlevered Free Cash Flow; and

•

By comparing our Unlevered Free Cash Flow in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year.

Although Unlevered Free Cash Flow is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Unlevered Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect interest expense;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect (gain) loss on retirement of property, plant and equipment;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect acquisition costs;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect executive departure costs;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect restructuring charges;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect depreciation and amortization;

•

Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect the stock based compensation component of employee compensation; and

•

Other companies in our industry may calculate Unlevered Free Cash Flow or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow.

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow generated from our operations to assess the potential recovery of historical capital expenditures, determine timing and investment levels for growth opportunities, extend commitments of satellite bandwidth cost, invest in new products and services, expand or open new offices and service centers, and assist purchasing synergies.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.7 million to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from increased costs partially offset by increased revenue. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.7 million to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from lower revenue partially offset by a reduction in ongoing operating expenses.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow was $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $4.6 million over the prior year quarter. Unlevered Free Cash Flow was $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $9.1 million over the prior year period. The decrease in Unlevered Free Cash Flow was due to decreased Adjusted EBITDA and increased capital expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to foreign operations and certain purchases from foreign vendors. In the normal course of business, we assess these risks and have established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values.

Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rates. We presently do not hedge these risks, but evaluate financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 9.8% and 15.4%, respectively of our revenues were earned in non-U.S. currencies. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, we had no significant outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable interest rate long-term debt. We presently do not hedge these risks, but evaluate financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. The following analysis reflects the annual impacts of potential changes in our interest rate to net loss attributable to us and our total stockholders’ equity based on our outstanding long-term debt on September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, assuming those liabilities were outstanding for the previous twelve months:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In August 2017, the Company filed litigation in Harris County District Court and arbitration against one of its former Chief Executive Officers for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition and breach of contract. The Company is seeking repayment of certain severance benefits and injunctive relief. The Company has incurred legal expense of approximately $0.3 million in connection with this dispute for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company may continue to incur significant legal fees, related expenses and management time in the future. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this dispute, the total costs to be incurred or the potential impact on personnel.

Inmarsat and the Company are in a dispute relating to a January 2014 take or pay agreement to purchase up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years. The parties are attempting to resolve the dispute through a contractually-stipulated arbitration process with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution that began in October 2016. The parties dispute whether Inmarsat has met its contractual obligations with respect to the service under the agreement. In July 2017, pursuant to its contractual rights under the agreement, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the agreement to Inmarsat.

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is a claimant or a defendant in various other legal proceedings, including proceedings as to which the Company has insurance coverage and those that may involve the filing of liens against the Company or its assets.
