Q2 2017 Quarterly Commentary
Quarterly Commentary July 27, 2017 Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 Second Quarter 2017 Performance Summary In the second quarter of 2017, we achieved another milestone essential to our long-term strategy. On July 5, 2017 we successfully launched Intelsat 35e, our fourth Intelsat EpicNG satellite, as we implement high-throughput technology to unlock new applications and to drive future growth. While we continue to experience longer cycles with respect to contracting sales of Intelsat EpicNG services, particularly with respect to the Intelsat 33e satellite which entered into service earlier this year, we are confident in our long-term plan and are making good progress on commercializing Intelsat EpicNG. Second quarter 2017 revenue was $533 million, a 2 percent decline, as compared to revenue of $542 million in the second quarter of 2016. Net loss attributable to Intelsat S.A. was $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to net income attributable to Intelsat S.A. of $116 million in the prior year period, which included a gain on early extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA1, or earnings before interest, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, taxes, depreciation and amortization, increased 2 percent to $418 million, or 78 percent of revenue, compared to $411 million, or 76 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2016. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of 2017 was largely driven by lower operating expense, including an improvement in bad debt expense primarily related to increased collections from a delinquent account. Quarterly Total Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA $750 $551 $542 $543 $538 $533 $500 $417 $418 $411 $405 $410 (millions) Revenue $250 AEBITDA $0 2Q16 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 Intelsat S.A. -
