NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of RigNet, Inc.

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, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2019.

Significant Accounting Policies

In addition to the accounting policies described below, please refer to RigNet’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2018 for information regarding the Company’s accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue Recognition – Managed Communications Services (MCS) and Applications and Internet-of-Things (Apps & IoT)

MCS and Apps & IoT customers are primarily served under fixed-price contracts, either on a monthly or day rate basis or for equipment sales and consulting services. Contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service orders. Offshore contracts generally have a term of up to three years with renewal options. Land-based contracts 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 permit early termination 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).

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time — The delivery of service represents the single performance obligation under MCS and Apps & IoT contracts. Revenue for contracts is generally recognized over time as service is transferred to the customer and the Company expects to be entitled to the agreed monthly or day rate in exchange for those services.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time — The delivery of equipment represents the single performance obligation under equipment sale contracts. Revenue for equipment sales is generally recognized upon delivery of equipment to customers.

Revenue Recognition – Systems Integration

Revenues related to long-term, fixed-price Systems Integration contracts for customized network solutions are recognized based on the percentage of completion for the contract. At any point, RigNet has numerous contracts in progress, all of which are at various stages of completion. Accounting for revenues and profits on long-term contracts requires estimates of total estimated contract costs and estimates of progress toward completion to determine the extent of revenue and profit recognition.

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time — The delivery of a Systems Integration solution represents the single performance obligation under Systems Integration contracts. Progress towards completion on fixed-price contracts is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated contract costs (the cost-to-cost method). These estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available or as specific project circumstances change.

The Company reviews all material contracts on a monthly basis and revises the estimates as appropriate for developments such as providing services, purchasing third-party materials and equipment at costs differing from those previously estimated, and incurring or expecting to incur schedule issues. Changes in estimated final contract revenues and costs can either increase or decrease the final estimated contract profit or loss. Profits are recorded in the period in which a change in estimate is recognized, based on progress achieved through the period of change. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is classified as a current asset under Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (CIEB).

9

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Systems Integration contracts are billed in accordance with the terms of the contract which are typically either based on milestones or specified time intervals. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount of CIEB related to Systems Integration projects was $11.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Under long-term contracts, amounts recorded in CIEB may not be realized or paid within a one-year period. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $1.2 million and none, respectively, of amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized to date were classified as a current liability, under deferred revenue and other current liabilities.

Variable Consideration – Systems Integration - The Company records revenue on contracts relating to certain probable claims and unapproved change orders by including in revenue an amount less than or equal to the amount of costs incurred to date relating to these probable claims and unapproved change orders, thus recognizing no profit until such time as claims are finalized or change orders are approved. The amount of unapproved change orders and claim revenues is included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of CIEB. No material unapproved change orders or claims revenue were included in CIEB as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As new facts become known, an adjustment to the estimated recovery is made and reflected in the current period.

Backlog - As of September 30, 2019, we have backlog for our percentage of completion projects of $35.9 million, which will be recognized over the remaining contract term for each contract. Percentage of completion contract terms are typically one to three years.

Leases

Effective with adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (the new lease standard) on January 1, 2019, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases right of use assets and liabilities are included in right to use lease asset, deferred revenue and other current liabilities, and right to use lease liability – long-term portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment; current maturities of long-term debt; and long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right to use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued 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 to the balance sheet. The Company adopted this ASU as of the first quarter 2019, and it required right-of-use liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet of $6.5 million as of March 31, 2019, of which $5.8 million were long-term and $0.7 million were current, with no related impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity or Comprehensive Loss. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which, among other things, allows companies to carry forward their historical lease classification and to not record leases with an initial term of less than 12 months. The Company has used the optional transition method permitted under Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11 (ASU 2018-11). Accordingly, prior year amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting. The Company’s credit agreement excludes the impact of ASU 2016-02.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13), which measures credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The update amends the impairment model to utilize a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. Companies will apply this standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2020.

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-07 (ASU 2018-07), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

10

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 (ASU 2018-13), which eliminates disclosures, modifies existing disclosures and adds new Fair Value disclosure requirements to Topic 820 for the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. 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 August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (ASU 2018-15), which provides guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. 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.

Note 2 – Business Combinations

Auto-Comm and SAFCON

On April 18, 2018, RigNet completed the separate acquisitions of Automation Communications Engineering Corp. (Auto-Comm) and Safety Controls, Inc. (SAFCON) for an aggregate purchase price of $6.7 million. Of this aggregate purchase price RigNet paid $2.2 million in cash and $4.1 million in stock in April 2018. In September 2018, the Company paid $0.3 million in cash for a working capital adjustment.

Auto-Comm provides a broad range of communications services, for both onshore and offshore remote locations, to the oil and gas industry. Auto-Comm brings over 30 years of systems integration experience in engineering and design, installation, testing, and maintenance. SAFCON offers a diverse set of safety, security, and maintenance services to the oil and gas industry. Auto-Comm and SAFCON have developed strong relationships with major energy companies that complement the relationships that RigNet has established over the years. Auto-Comm and SAFCON are based in Louisiana.

The assets and liabilities of Auto-Comm and SAFCON 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 $1.4 million arising from the acquisitions consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company, Auto-Comm and SAFCON, 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 nondeductible for income tax purposes. The acquisitions of Auto-Comm and SAFCON, including goodwill, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and are primarily reflected in the Systems Integration segment.

Intelie

On March 23, 2018, RigNet completed its acquisition of Intelie^TM Soluções Em Informática S.A (Intelie), for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $18.1 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid R$10.6 million (BRL) (or approximately $3.2 million) in cash, $7.3 million in stock and expects to pay $7.6 million worth of RigNet stock as 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 $17.0 million payable in stock. Intelie is a real-time, predictive analytics company that combines an operational understanding with a machine learning approach. Intelie facilitates innovation via Intelie Pipes^TM, a distributed query language with a complex event processor to aggregate and normalize real-time data from a myriad of data sources. This technology enables the Intelie LIVE^TM platform to solve data integration, data quality, data governance and monitoring problems. Intelie LIVE is an operational intelligence platform that empowers clients to make timely, data-driven decisions in mission-critical real-time operations, including drilling, and longer-term, data-intensive projects, such as well planning. Intelie LIVE has broad applicability across many industry verticals. Intelie is based in Brazil.

The assets and liabilities of Intelie 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 Intelie is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of the earn-out was $7.9 million with $4.4 million in deferred revenue and other current liabilities and $3.5 million in other long-term liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Intelie earn-out of $0.2 million with corresponding increases to other liabilities. Portions of the earn-out are payable in RigNet stock on the first, second and third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition based on certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement. On April 29, 2019, the agreement was amended to clarify the calculation of certain contingent consideration, but did not change the amount or form of consideration that could be paid pursuant to the purchase agreement. In May 2019, the Company issued 208,356 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $3.0 million, as payment for the portion of the earn-out earned as of the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition.

The goodwill of $10.7 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 Intelie, 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 Intelie, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Apps & IoT segment.

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, the British Pound Sterling and the Brazilian Real 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 income (loss) in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

13

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Credit and Customer Concentration Risk

Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas, maritime, pipeline, engineering and construction industries. 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. Although no one customer comprised over 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our top 5 customers generated 24.7% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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 2019 or 2018. 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.

The Company acquired $1.4 million of goodwill in the Systems Integration segment from the Auto-Comm and SAFCON acquisitions completed on April 18, 2018 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $10.7 million of goodwill in the Apps & IoT segment from the Intelie acquisition completed on March 23, 2018 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company performs its annual impairment test as of July 31^st of each year. In connection with the July 31, 2019 impairment test, the most recent annual test performed prior to September 30, 2019, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units were in excess of their carrying values and no impairment was noted.

MCS had $21.9 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by 16.1% as of the July 31, 2019 annual impairment test. Apps & IoT had $22.2 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by 155.7% as of the July 31, 2019 annual impairment test. Systems Integration had $1.4 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by 29.2% as of the July 31, 2019 annual impairment test. Any future downturn in our business could adversely impact the key assumptions in our impairment test. While we believe that there appears to be no indication of current or future impairment, historical operating results may not be indicative of future operating results and events and circumstances may occur causing a triggering event in a period as short as three months.

No impairment indicators have been identified in any reporting unit as of September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, goodwill was $45.5 million and $46.6 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation, increases with acquisitions, and decreases in the event an impairment is recognized.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of customer relationships, covenants-not-to-compete, brand name, licenses, technology and backlog acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions. Intangibles also include internal-use software. The Company’s intangibles have useful lives ranging from 5.0 to 20.0 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.

No impairment indicators have been identified as of September 30, 2019.

14

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, intangibles were $30.1 million and $33.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized amortization expense of $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized amortization expense of $6.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had restricted cash of $0.1 million and $1.5 million, in current and long-term assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, 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 MCS segment (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt).

Credit Agreement

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a third amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of November 6, 2017, with four participating financial institutions (as amended from time to time, the Credit Agreement), which provides for a $15.0 million term loan (Term Loan), a $30.0 million term-out facility (Term-Out Loan) and an $85.0 million revolving credit facility (RCF). The RCF and Term-Out Loan mature on April 6, 2021. The Term Loan matures on December 31, 2020.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into the first amendment to Credit Agreement to refinance $30.0 million of outstanding draws under the existing $85.0 million RCF with the new $30.0 million Term-Out Loan.

The Credit Agreement required a $45.0 million reserve (Specified Reserve) under the RCF that was released and made available for borrowing for payment of the GX Dispute settlement. The RCF contains a sub-limit of up to $25.0 million for commercial and stand- by letters of credit and performance bonds issued by the parties under the Credit Agreement. The facilities under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

15

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan, Term-Out Loan and the RCF bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00% based on a consolidated leverage ratio defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest on the Term Loan, Term-Out Loan and RCF is payable monthly. Principal installments of $1.25 million and $1.5 million under the Term Loan and Term-Out Loan, respectively, are due quarterly. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and 4.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and 4.7%, respectively, with an interest rate of 5.0% at September 30, 2019.

Term Loan

As of September 30, 2019, the Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $6.3 million, excluding the impact of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Term-Out Loan

As of September 30, 2019, the Term-Out Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $27.0 million.

RCF

As of September 30, 2019, $81.2 million in draws remain outstanding under the RCF. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company borrowed $43.0 million under the RCF in connection with the $45.0 million of GX Dispute settlement payments.

Covenants and Restrictions

The Company’s Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends under default, and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. The consolidated leverage ratio increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for the four quarters starting in the 2^nd quarter of 2019. The consolidated leverage ratio then decreases to 3.00 to 1.00 for three quarters, and then decreases to 2.75 to 1.00 for all remaining quarters. If any default occurs related to these covenants that is not cured or waived, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest can be declared immediately due and payable. The facilities under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

In April 2019, the Company determined that in periods beginning at least as early as March 31, 2014, it had incurred and not appropriately included certain surety bonds or other similar instruments in its consolidated leverage ratio calculation as defined by the Credit Agreement. As a result, on May 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Consent and Waiver (Consent) to the Credit Agreement with the financial institutions party thereto under which the Company is permitted to exclude certain incurred surety bonds and other similar instruments from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement). In addition, the Consent waived all specified violations for all prior periods.

On June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment), which (i) permits the Company to exclude up to $5.0 million in legal and related costs for the GX Dispute (see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies) from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined under the Credit Agreement), (ii) permits the Company to exclude from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness up to $30.0 million of undrawn surety bonds and (iii) revises the threshold of proceeds from asset dispositions above which the Company must prepay on the Term Out Loan to $5.0 million. Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Funded Indebtedness are non-GAAP metrics defined in the Credit Agreement.

We believe we have accurately calculated and reported our required debt covenant calculations for the September 30, 2019 reporting period and are in compliance with the required covenant ratios.

Performance Bonds, Surety Bonds and Other Similar Instruments

As of September 30, 2019, there were $6.3 million of performance bonds, surety bonds and similar instruments outstanding of which $1.7 million is issued by the parties under the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2019, there were $0.1 million outstanding standby letters of credit and bank guarantees.

In June 2016, the Company secured a performance bond facility with a lender in the amount of $1.5 million for its MCS segment. This facility has a maturity date of June 2021. The Company maintains restricted cash on a dollar for dollar basis to secure this facility.

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.

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 Intelie is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of the earn-out was $7.9 million with $4.4 million in deferred revenue and other current liabilities and $3.5 million in other long-term liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Intelie earn-out of $0.1 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to other liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Intelie earn-out of $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, RigNet recognized an increase in the fair value of the earn-out of none and $1.3 million, respectively. The earn-out is payable in RigNet stock in portions on the first, second and third anniversary of the March 23, 2018 closing of the acquisition based on certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement. In May 2019, the Company issued 208,356 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $3.0 million, as payment for the portion of the earn-out earned as of the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition.

The contingent consideration for Cyphre, a cybersecurity company acquired in May 2017, is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $3.5 million, of which $0.3 million is in other current liabilities and $3.2 million is in other long-term liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Cyphre contingent consideration of $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to other liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Cyphre contingent consideration of $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The earn-out for Orgtec S.A.P.I. de C.V., d.b.a. TECNOR (TECNOR), acquired in February 2016, was 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. The fair value of the earn-out of $8.0 million was paid in July 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNOR earn-out liability of $0.1 million with corresponding increases to other liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized a decrease in the fair value of the earn-out of $0.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized an increase in the fair value of the earn-out of $2.1 million.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 137.1% and (47.0%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (12.6)% and 0.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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 IRS finalized the audit of the Company’s 2016 income tax return. There were no assessments or material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company received a notice informing us of an audit of the Company’s 2016-2017 income tax returns in Singapore. It is unclear if the audit and the appeals process, if necessary, will be completed within the next twelve months. The Company is in the early stages of the audit and is unable to quantify any potential settlement or outcome of the audit at this time.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $2.8 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, 2019, the Company granted a total of 601,122 stock-based awards to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). Of these, the Company granted the following stock-based awards associated with the long term incentive plan (LTIP): (i) 190,588 restricted stock units (RSUs) to certain officers and employees that generally vest over a three year period of continued employment, with 33% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, (ii) 30,648 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, (iii) 60,361 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 and (iv) 86,772 RSUs to outside directors that vest in 2020. The ultimate number of PSUs issued is based on a multiple determined by certain performance-based targets. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs 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, net of forfeitures.

Additionally, the Company granted 232,753 unrestricted stock grants associated with payment of the Company’s 2018 short term incentive plan to certain officers and employees that vested immediately.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company also granted 28,923 options to purchase our common stock with an exercise price of $15.06 to certain officers and employees of the Company as part of the LTIP under the 2010 Plan. Options granted have a contractual term of seven years and vest over a three-year period of continued employment, with 33% of the options vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

18

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses certain assumptions as of the date of grant. The assumptions used for the stock option grants made during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019
Expected volatility		49	%
Expected term (in years)		7
Risk-free interest rate		2.5	%
Dividend yield		—

Based on these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $7.94 per option.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 30,288 RSUs and 19,826 stock options were forfeited.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, there was $4.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, RSUs and restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Note 10 – Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding during the period. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, but excludes the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period. Diluted shares equal the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, other than antidilutive shares, if any. 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, 2019, there were approximately 1,167,910 and 2,195,304 potentially issuable shares excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were approximately 932,048 and 620,666 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

This segment also includes the private machine-to-machine IoT data networks including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) provided primarily for pipelines.

• 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.

Customers in our MCS and Apps & IoT segments 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. Offshore contracts generally have a term of up to three years with renewal options. Land-based contracts 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 permit early termination 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). Systems Integration customers are served primarily under fixed-price, long-term contracts.

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 contracted 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 are 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.

25

Profitability generally increases or decreases at an MCS 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 June 24, 2019, we announced that we reached a settlement with Inmarsat that concludes the GX Dispute. Pursuant to the settlement we paid $45.0 million in June 2019 and paid $5.0 million in July 2019 and will pay $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. We have an accrued liability of $0.8 million as of September 30, 2019. As previously disclosed, Inmarsat plc (Inmarsat), a satellite telecommunications company, filed arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution tribunal (the panel) in October 2016 concerning 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 incurred a credit of $0.4 million and cost of $3.9 million in GX Dispute Phase II costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. We incurred legal expenses of $0.7 million and $2.1 million in connection with the GX Dispute for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, we have backlog for our percentage of completion projects of $35.9 million.

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 2019, particularly offshore. The oil and gas environment continues to be challenged with operators focusing on projects with shorter pay-back periods that generally require less capital investment and lower costs from service providers and drilling contractors. The average price of Brent crude, a key indicator of activity for the oil and gas industry, was $64.65 per barrel for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 compared to an average of $72.17 for the nine months ending September 30, 2018. Brent crude spot prices increased in the first three quarters of 2018 and peaked at $86.07 on October 4, 2018. From the October 4, 2018 high, Brent crude oil prices decreased over 40.0% in the fourth quarter of 2018. In the first half of 2019, Brent crude oil prices recovered to the $70 per barrel range and have then declined in the second half of 2019 to the $60 per barrel range. Certain analysts are not presently predicting meaningful increases in offshore drilling rig utilization for the remainder of 2019, but are predicting more meaningful improvements in utilization and day rates in 2020 or 2021. As a result, we believe drilling contractors are cautiously optimistic about a gradual demand recovery. The offshore drilling contracting environment remains challenged, with major offshore drilling contractors having experienced significant pressure on day rates, which in turn has had a negative impact on the rates we are able to charge customers. 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.

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 from a state where we have operations. The audit can cover up to a four-year period. We are in the early stages of the audit and do not have any estimates of further exposure, if any, for the tax years under review.

NOTE: Consolidated balances include the segments above along with corporate activities and intercompany eliminations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenue. Revenue decreased by $3.8 million, or 5.8%, to $61.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $64.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Revenue for the Apps & IoT segment increased $1.8 million, or 24.1%, due to our focus on growth of the application layer and IoT space, which was offset by a $2.9 million decrease in MCS segment revenue and a $2.7 million decrease in Systems Integration revenue.

Cost of Revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased by $5.1 million, or 12.5%, to $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was due to cost reductions and lower variable costs on lower revenues. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the MCS segment by $3.8 million. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the Systems Integration segment by $1.7 million. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased in the Apps & IoT segment by $0.4 million as we continue our strategy to grow our application layer and IoT space, including Intelie.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.2 million to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to the intangibles from the July 2012 acquisition of Nessco being fully amortized coupled with lower capital expenditures.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense increased $0.1 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

28

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.3 million to $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative costs decreased due to reduced legal cost attributable to settlement of the GX Dispute during the second quarter of 2019 and other cost reductions.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rates were 137.1% and (12.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018

Revenue. Revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 0.1%, to $178.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $178.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, driven by growth in the Apps & IoT segment. Revenue for the Apps & IoT segment increased $5.9 million, or 30.5%, due to our focus on growth of the application layer and IoT space. Revenue for the Systems Integration segment decreased $2.6 million, or 8.4%. Revenue for the MCS segment decreased $3.1 million, or 2.4%.

Cost of Revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased by $2.0 million, or 1.8%, to $108.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $110.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the MCS segment by $2.8 million from cost reductions. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased in the Systems Integration segment by $2.3 million. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased in the Apps & IoT segment by $3.0 million as we continue our strategy to grow our application layer and IoT space, including Intelie.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.0 million to $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to the intangibles from the July 2012 acquisition of Nessco being fully amortized coupled with lower capital expenditures.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expense decreased $0.3 million to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million to $43.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $41.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. General and administrative costs increased primarily due to increased stock-based compensation and increased GX Dispute legal expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective income tax rates were (47.0%) and 0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019, we had working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, of $26.9 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 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 Agreement.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and our growth plans, we may elect to pursue 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 Agreement and additional financing activities we may pursue, which may include debt or equity offerings.

Currently, the Norwegian Kroner, the British Pound Sterling and the Brazilian Real 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, 2019 and 2018, 91.9% and 91.4% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in cash from operating activities of $27.3 million was primarily due to payment of $50.0 million towards the GX Dispute settlement, partially offset by the timing of collecting receivables and paying our accounts payable.

Our cash provided by operations is subject to many variables including the volatility of the oil and gas industry, the demand for our services, the cost of satellite bandwidth and 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 $16.5 million and $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 included $16.8 million and $18.8 million of capital expenditures, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $5.4 million for acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $48.5 million in proceeds from borrowings, partially offset by $11.4 million in principal payments on our long-term debt, $1.4 million withheld to cover employee taxes on stock-based compensation and $0.5 million in financing fees related to the consents, waiver and amendment to the Credit Agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $16.8 million in proceeds from borrowings and $3.8 million in principal payments on our long-term debt. Additionally, we paid the $8.0 million TECNOR earnout in July 2018, of which $6.4 million was in cash flows from financing activities and $1.6 million was in cash flows from operating activities.

30

Credit Agreement

The Credit Agreement provides for a $15.0 million Term Loan, a $30.0 million Term-Out Loan and an $85.0 million RCF, which includes a $25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of commercial and standby letters of credit and performance bonds issued by the parties under the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan, the Term-Out Loan and the RCF bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00%, based on a consolidated leverage ratio defined in the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable monthly and principal installments of $1.25 million and $1.5 million under the Term Loan and Term-Out Loan, respectively, are due quarterly.

The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and 4.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and 4.7%, respectively, with an interest rate of 5.0% at September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the outstanding principal amounts were $6.3 million for the Term Loan, $27.0 million for the Term-Out Loan and $81.2 million for the RCF.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends under default, and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. The consolidated leverage ratio increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for the four quarters starting in the 2^nd quarter of 2019. The consolidated leverage ratio then decreases to 3.00 to 1.00 for three quarters, and then decreases to 2.75 to 1.00 for all remaining quarters. If any default occurs related to these covenants that was not cured or waived, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest can be declared immediately due and payable. The facilities under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all our assets.

In April 2019, we determined that in periods beginning at least as early as March 31, 2014, we had incurred and not appropriately included certain surety bonds or other similar instruments in our consolidated leverage ratio calculation as defined by the credit agreement. As a result, on May 6, 2019, we entered into a Consent and Waiver (Consent) to the Credit Agreement with the financial institutions party thereto under which we are permitted to exclude certain incurred surety bonds and other similar instruments from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2019. In addition, the Consent waived all specified violations for all prior periods. On June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment), which (i) permits the Company to exclude up to $5.0 million in legal and related costs for the GX Dispute from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, (ii) permits the Company to exclude from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness up to $30.0 million of undrawn surety bonds and (iii) revises the threshold of proceeds from asset dispositions above which the Company must prepay on the Term Out Loan to $5.0 million. Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Funded Indebtedness are non-GAAP metrics defined in the Credit Agreement.

We believe we have accurately calculated and reported our required debt covenant calculations for the September 30, 2019 reporting period and are in compliance with the required covenant ratios. We expect to remain in compliance with our required debt covenant calculations for the foreseeable future, however, in the event that there are changes in economic conditions we can limit or control our spending through reductions in discretionary capital or other types of controllable expenditures, monetization of assets, or any combination of these alternatives if needed to remain in compliance with such covenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Non-GAAP Measure

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating income (loss), basic or diluted loss per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA 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. Net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment; (gain) loss on sales of property, plant and equipment, net of retirements; change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration; stock-based compensation; acquisition costs; executive departure costs; restructuring charges; the GX Dispute; GX Dispute Phase II costs and non-recurring items.

31

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;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the GX Dispute;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the GX Dispute Phase II costs;

• 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

We evaluate Adjusted EBITDA 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 assess purchasing synergies.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2.3 million to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $4.9 million to $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $24.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

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, 2019 and 2018, 8.1% and 8.6%, respectively, of our revenues were earned in non-U.S. currencies. At September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. 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, 2019, 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, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management included in its assessment of internal control over financial reporting all consolidated entities.
