NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the management of Viasat, Inc. (also referred to hereafter as the Company or Viasat), and have not been audited. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Viasat, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiary, TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. (TrellisWare).

All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investment in unconsolidated affiliate in other assets (long-term) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, patents, orbital slots and other licenses, software development, property, equipment and satellites, long-lived assets, derivatives, contingencies and income taxes including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue from contracts with customers (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606), the Company applies the five-step model to its contracts with its customers. Under this model the Company (1) identifies the contract with the customer, (2) identifies its performance obligations in the contract, (3) determines the transaction price for the contract, (4) allocates the transaction price to its performance obligations and (5) recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies its performance obligations. These performance obligations generally include the purchase of services (including broadband capacity and the leasing of broadband equipment), the purchase of products, and the development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenues, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

Performance obligations

The timing of satisfaction of performance obligations may require judgment. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from contracts with customers for services, primarily consisting of connectivity services. These contracts typically require advance or recurring monthly payments by the customer. The Company’s obligation to provide connectivity services is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. The measure of progress over time is based upon either a period of time (e.g., over the estimated contractual term) or usage (e.g., bandwidth used/bytes of data processed). The Company evaluates whether broadband equipment provided to its customers as part of the delivery of connectivity services represents a lease in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 842). As discussed further below under “Leases - Lessor accounting”, for broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of connectivity service arrangements as a single performance obligation as the connectivity services represent the predominant component.

The Company also derives a portion of its revenues from contracts with customers to provide products. Performance obligations to provide products are satisfied at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. These contracts typically require payment by the customer upon passage of control and determining the point at which control is transferred may require judgment. To identify the point at which control is transferred to the customer, the Company considers indicators that include, but are not limited to, whether (1) the Company has the present right to payment for the asset, (2) the customer has legal title to the asset, (3) physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer, (4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and (5) the customer has accepted the asset. For product revenues, control generally passes to the customer upon delivery of goods to the customer.

The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. Government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. Government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the Company either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments based on a percentage of the costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer can often retain a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which the Company presents as unbilled accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For the Company’s U.S. Government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays the Company for its actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. Government contracts, the Company typically receives interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The Company recognizes a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and presents it as collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues on the balance sheet. An advance payment is not typically considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect the Company from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.

(UNAUDITED)

Performance obligations related to developing and delivering complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts are recognized over time as these performance obligations do not create assets with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance to date. To measure the transfer of control, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Estimating the total costs at completion of a performance obligation requires management to make estimates related to items such as subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity and the costs of overhead. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

Contract costs on U.S. Government contracts are subject to audit and review by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), and other U.S. Government agencies, as well as negotiations with U.S. Government representatives. As of June 30, 2025, the DCMA had approved the Company’s incurred costs through fiscal year 2022. The DCMA is currently auditing the Company’s fiscal year 2024 recurring incurred cost submission. The Company's cost accounting practices are examined for compliance with the applicable Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2022 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates its profitability would be adversely affected. The Company had $15.1 million and $14.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts (see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for more information).

Evaluation of transaction price

The evaluation of transaction price, including the amounts allocated to performance obligations, may require significant judgments. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue, and, where applicable, the cost at completion, is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. The Company’s contracts may contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions, including the potential for significant financing components, that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These amounts, which are sometimes variable, can be dictated by performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets, the timing of payments, and customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the amount to which it expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. In the event an agreement includes embedded financing components, the Company recognizes interest expense or interest income on the embedded financing components using the effective interest method. This methodology uses an implied interest rate which reflects the incremental borrowing rate which would be expected to be obtained in a separate financing transaction. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. Estimating standalone selling prices may require judgment. When available, the Company utilizes the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering all information (including market conditions, specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm contracts and orders for which work has not been performed. The Company includes in its remaining performance obligations only those contracts and orders for which it has accepted purchase orders. Remaining performance obligations associated with the Company’s subscribers for fixed consumer and business broadband services in its communication services segment exclude month-to-month service contracts in accordance with a practical expedient and are estimated using a portfolio approach in which the Company reviews all relevant promotional activities and calculates the remaining performance obligation using the average service component for the portfolio and the average time remaining under the contract. The Company’s future recurring in-flight connectivity (IFC) service contracts in its communication services segment do not have minimum service purchase requirements and therefore are not included in the Company’s remaining performance obligations. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3.5 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately half over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company operates and manages its business in two reportable segments: communication services and defense and advanced technologies. Revenue is disaggregated by products and services, customer type, contract type, business line and geographic area, as the Company believes this approach best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 10 — Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue by business line and additional disaggregated revenue disclosures.

The following sets forth disaggregated reported revenue by segment and products and services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Revenues from the U.S. Government as an individual customer comprised approximately 15% and 16% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Government were attributable to each of the communication services segment and defense and advanced technologies segment, with higher revenues from the U.S. Government reported within the Company's communication services segment for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Almost all of the Company's revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts (which require the Company to provide products and services under a contract at a specified price), which are reported in both of the Company's segments. The remainder of the Company's revenues is primarily from cost-reimbursement contracts (under which the Company is reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit), which are mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Historically, a portion of the Company’s revenues has been derived from customer contracts that include the development of products. The development efforts are conducted in direct response to the customer’s specific requirements and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of sales when incurred and the related funding (which includes a profit component) is included in revenues. Revenues for the Company’s funded development from its customer contracts were approximately 11% and 12% of its total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Contract balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. A contract asset, or with respect to the Company, an unbilled accounts receivable, is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of the Company’s right to bill and receive consideration, typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally expected to be billed and collected within one year. The unbilled accounts receivable will decrease as provided services or delivered products are billed. The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in the Company’s contracts.

When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability, or with respect to the Company, collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues, is recorded. Reductions in the collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues will be recorded as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

The following table presents contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025:

	As of  June 30, 2025		As of  March 31, 2025
	(In thousands)
Unbilled accounts receivable	$	180,411	$	180,871
Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues		298,876		294,034
Deferred revenues, long-term portion		779,444		786,710

Unbilled accounts receivable decreased by an insignificant amount during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by an increase in billings, primarily in the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment revenues.

Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues increased by $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by advances on goods or services received in excess of revenue recognized.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $106.1 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $106.3 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2024.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

Property, equipment and satellites

Satellites and other property and equipment, including internally developed software, are recorded at cost or, in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentives expected to be payable to satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. The Company also constructs earth stations, network operations systems and other assets to support its satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in commercial service, the Company estimates the useful life of its satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends. The Company periodically reviews the remaining estimated useful life of its satellites to determine if revisions to estimated useful lives are necessary. Costs incurred for additions to property, equipment and satellites, together with major renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the underlying asset. Costs incurred for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations, which for the periods presented, primarily related to losses incurred for unreturned customer premise equipment (CPE). The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to 38 years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.

Costs related to internally developed software for internal uses are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is complete and are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are approximately three to seven years. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in property, equipment and satellites, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense is capitalized on the carrying value of assets under construction, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for the capitalization of interest (ASC 835-20). With respect to the construction of satellites, gateway and networking equipment and other assets under construction, the Company capitalized $55.2 million and $56.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's complementary fleet of 23 in service or operational satellites spans the Ka-, L- and S- bands, with 13 Ka-band satellites, eight high-availability L-band satellites (three of which are contingency L-band satellites that are operational but not currently in commercial service), an S-band satellite that supports the European Aviation Network to provide IFC services to commercial airlines in Europe, and an Inmarsat-6 class hybrid Ka-/L-band satellite (the I-6 F1 satellite). In late July 2024, the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite completed in-orbit testing and was integrated into the Company's existing satellite fleet covering the Americas. In May 2025, two Ka-band highly-elliptical earth orbit satellite payloads (GX10A and GX10B) were put in service to provide polar coverage for government customers, with commercial maritime and aviation services anticipated to follow during fiscal year 2026. Furthermore, the Company has eight additional geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites under development: two additional high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellites (ViaSat-3 F2 and ViaSat-3 F3), three additional adaptive Ka-band GEO satellites (GX7, GX8 and GX9) and three Inmarsat-8 L-band GEO safety service satellites. In addition to the Company's satellite fleet, the Company has purchased capacity on and has access to additional regional partner satellites. In addition, the Company owns related earth stations and networking equipment for all of its satellites. The Company procures CPE units leased to customers in order to connect to the Company's satellite network as part of the Company’s communication services segment, which are reflected in investing activities and property, equipment and satellites, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company depreciates the satellites, earth stations and networking equipment, CPE units and related installation costs over their estimated useful lives. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of June 30, 2025 were $525.0 million and $335.6 million, respectively. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of March 31, 2025 were $526.0 million and $328.0 million, respectively.

As a result of the anomalies that occurred with respect to the ViaSat-3 F1 and I-6 F2 satellites in fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded a reduction to the carrying value of the satellites of approximately $1.67 billion in fiscal year 2024, which was partially offset by total insurance claim receivables of approximately $770.0 million, and for which the final payment was received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Occasionally, the Company may enter into finance lease arrangements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture, fixtures, or satellites. The Company records amortization of assets leased under finance lease arrangements (upon lease commencement) within depreciation expense. The Company’s finance leases consist primarily of satellite lifetime Ka-band capacity leases and have remaining terms from less than one year to 14 years. The Company reports assets obtained under finance leases in property, equipment and satellites, net and the current and non-current portions of its finance lease liabilities in current portion of long-term debt and other long-term debt, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – Leases for more information).

Cloud computing arrangements

The Company enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. Costs incurred for these arrangements are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and postimplementation activities. The Company amortizes the capitalized implementation costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The capitalized costs are included in other current assets within the prepaid expenses and other current assets caption, and other assets (long-term) on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has entered into several cloud computing arrangements that are hosted services contracts mainly as part of projects related to the continuous transformation of technology, integration and implementation of an ERP system. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, gross capitalized implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements was $98.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the related accumulated amortization was $21.0 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The Company recognized amortization of capitalized implementation costs of $2.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Leases

Lessee accounting

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company assesses at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Generally, the Company determines that a lease exists when (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all economic benefits from use of the asset, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease when one or more of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset or (5) the asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except short-term leases with an original term of 12 months or less. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with standards that apply to long-lived assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a collateralized loan with the same term as the underlying leases.

Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of (1) fixed lease payments for the noncancelable lease term, (2) fixed lease payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal option will be exercised, and (3) variable lease payments that depend on an underlying index or rate, based on the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Certain of the Company’s real estate lease agreements require variable lease payments that do not depend on an underlying index or rate established at lease commencement. Such payments and changes in payments based on a rate or index are recognized in operating expenses when incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term plus variable lease payments as incurred. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the depreciation of assets obtained under finance leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense on the lease liability based on the discount rate at lease commencement. For both operating and finance leases, lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of leases for office space, data centers and satellite ground facilities and have remaining terms that typically range from less than one year to 16 years, some of which include renewal options, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. Certain earth station leases have renewal terms that have been deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised and as such have been recognized as part of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for such leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company reports operating lease right-of-use assets in operating lease right-of-use assets and the current and non-current portions of its operating lease liabilities in accrued and other liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor accounting

For broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to separate the broadband equipment from the related connectivity services. The connectivity services are the predominant component of these arrangements. The connectivity services are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is also a lessor for certain insignificant communications equipment. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Business combinations

The authoritative guidance for business combinations (ASC 805) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. The Company recognizes technology, contracts and customer relationships, orbital slots and spectrum assets, trade names and other as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

Patents, orbital slots and other licenses

The Company capitalizes the costs of obtaining or acquiring patents, orbital slots and other licenses. Amortization of intangible assets that have finite lives is provided for by the straight-line method over the shorter of the legal or estimated economic life. Total capitalized costs related to patents, orbital slots and other licenses of $139.6 million and $129.4 million were included in other assets as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $13.4 million and $10.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $3.2 million and an insignificant amount for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If a patent, orbital slot or other license is rejected, abandoned or otherwise invalidated, the unamortized cost is expensed in that period. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not write off any significant costs due to abandonment or impairment.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense using the effective interest rate method, or, when the results are not materially different, on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related debt. The Company capitalized zero debt issuance costs during each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to extinguished debt are expensed at the time the debt is extinguished and recorded in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the terms of a financing obligation are amended and accounted for as a debt modification by the Company, fees incurred directly with the lending institution are capitalized and amortized over the remaining contractual term using the effective interest method. Fees incurred with other parties are expensed as incurred. Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities (collectively, the Revolving Credit Facilities) are recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the authoritative guidance for imputation of interest (ASC 835-30). Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s senior secured and senior unsecured notes (collectively, the Notes) and senior secured term loan credit facilities (together with the Revolving Credit Facilities, the Credit Facilities) are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with debt discounts, in accordance with ASC 835-30.

Software development

Costs of developing software for sale are charged to independent research and development (IR&D) expense when incurred, until technological feasibility has been established. Software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Once the product is available for general release, the software development costs are amortized based on the ratio of current to future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally within five years. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $793.8 million and $780.3 million, respectively, of capitalized costs related to software developed for resale. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $529.0 million and $515.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company capitalized $23.5 million and $18.8 million of costs related to software developed for resale for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for capitalized software development costs was $14.9 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Self-insurance and post-retirement medical benefit liabilities

The Company has self-insurance plans to retain a portion of the exposure for losses related to employee medical benefits and workers’ compensation. The self-insurance plans include policies which provide for both specific and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company utilizes actuarial methods as well as other historical information for the purpose of estimating ultimate costs for a particular plan year. Based on these actuarial methods, along with currently available information and insurance industry statistics, the Company recorded self-insurance liability for its plans of $5.5 million and $5.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s estimate, which is subject to inherent variability, is based on average claims experience in the Company’s industry and its own experience in terms of frequency and severity of claims, including asserted and unasserted claims incurred but not reported, with no explicit provision for adverse fluctuation from year to year. This variability may lead to ultimate payments being either greater or less than the amounts presented above. Self-insurance liabilities have been classified as a current liability in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the estimated timing of the projected payments.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Connect Topco Limited, a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey (Inmarsat Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, Inmarsat, and such acquisition, the Inmarsat Acquisition). As a part of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed a post-retirement medical benefit plan for retired employees (and their dependents) who were employed by Inmarsat before January 1, 1998. The plan is funded by the Company and there are no plan assets from which the costs are paid. The cost of providing these benefits is actuarially determined and accrued over the service period of the active employee groups. The annual increase in Inmarsat's contribution to post-retirement medical liability is capped at the United Kingdom Consumer Price Index +1%.

Indemnification provisions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company includes indemnification provisions in certain of its contracts, generally relating to parties with which the Company has commercial relations. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, including but not limited to losses relating to third-party intellectual property claims. To date, there have not been any material costs incurred in connection with such indemnification clauses. The Company’s insurance policies do not necessarily cover the cost of defending indemnification claims or providing indemnification, so if a claim was filed against the Company by any party that the Company has agreed to indemnify, the Company could incur substantial legal costs and damages. A claim would be accrued when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, no such amounts were accrued related to the aforementioned provisions.

Noncontrolling interests

A noncontrolling interest represents the equity interest in a subsidiary that is not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company and is reported as equity of the Company, separate from the Company’s controlling interest. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the consolidated amounts, which include the amounts attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interest.

In June 2025, TrellisWare declared a cash dividend for a total of $155.7 million. The Company's share of this dividend was $96.0 million. The remaining $59.7 million was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interest in subsidiary in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. Of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interest, $45.9 million was paid to minority shareholders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and $13.8 million was included in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.

Common stock held in treasury

As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had zero shares of common stock held in treasury.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 1,351,971 and 220,113 shares of common stock, respectively, based on the vesting terms of certain restricted stock unit (RSU) and performance-based RSU (PSU) agreements. In order for employees to satisfy minimum statutory employee tax withholding requirements related to the issuance of common stock underlying these RSU and PSU agreements, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 503,164 and 85,638 shares of common stock, respectively, at cost and with a total value of $4.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Although shares withheld for employee withholding taxes are technically not issued, they are treated as common stock repurchases for accounting purposes (with such shares deemed to be repurchased and then immediately retired), as they reduce the number of shares that otherwise would have been issued upon vesting of the RSUs and PSUs. These retired shares remain as authorized stock and are considered to be unissued. The retirement of treasury stock had no impact on the Company’s total consolidated stockholders’ equity.

Derivatives

As a result of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed interest rate cap contracts to hedge the variable interest rate under Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. The interest rate cap contracts provided protection from Compound SOFR rates over 2%, covered the total nominal amount of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities of $1.6 billion, and matured in February 2025. At the time of the acquisition, the Company continued to account for the interest rate cap contracts as cash-flow hedges. Upon amendment of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities in March 2024 (see Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt for more information), the portion of the interest rate cap contracts related to Inmarsat's $1.3 billion senior secured term loan facility (the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility) continued to be accounted for as cash-flow hedges, as the interest rate cap contracts remained in place with their original maturity date.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company did not use this instrument, or these types of instruments in general, for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s objective was to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in debt with variable interest rates. Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value. The value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in greater than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in less than 12 months.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are designated as cash-flow hedging instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments until the underlying transaction affects the Company’s earnings, at which time they are then recorded in the same income statement line as the underlying transaction. The Company may designate a derivative with periodic cash settlements and a non-zero fair value at hedge inception as the hedging instrument in a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship. The non-zero fair value of cash flow hedges on the designation date is recognized into income under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as the earnings of the hedge item, with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million (and related tax expense of an insignificant amount) in other comprehensive income arising from changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap contracts (designated as cash-flow hedging instruments) related to Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease of $4.6 million (and related tax benefit of $1.2 million) to other comprehensive income and interest expense, net of the recognition into income of the non-zero hedge inception fair value (based on the nature of the underlying transaction). During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $14.1 million as a result of periodic cash settlements, which was included in operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Stock-based compensation

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments (ASC 718), the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Expense for RSUs and stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. Expense for PSUs with a market condition (such as a stock price milestone) (market condition PSUs) that vest is recognized regardless of the actual outcome achieved and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. Expense for PSUs with a performance condition (such as an operational milestone) (performance condition PSUs) that vest is recorded each period based on a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognized $14.7 million and $19.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits or deficiencies on vesting or settlement of awards as discrete items within income tax benefit or provision within net income (loss) and the related cash flows are classified within operating activities.

Income taxes

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740). The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.

Ordinarily, the Company calculates its provision for income taxes at the end of each interim reporting period on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for tax items that are discrete to each period.

A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future tax consequences resulting from differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credit and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent authoritative guidance

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the FASB ASC. These amendments will also align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, and will not be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirements by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to enhance disclosures about their reportable segments' significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted the new guidance for annual disclosures in fiscal year 2025 and for interim disclosures in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 on a retrospective basis.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation table and disaggregation of income taxes paid. The new standard will become effective for the Company's annual disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. The amendments in this update are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and the guidance did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures about certain categories of costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements.

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (ASC 820), the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market-based assumptions to entity specific assumptions:

• Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The following tables present the Company's hierarchy for its assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

Long-term debt — As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s long-term debt (including current portion) was comprised of (1) $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes), $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 6.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Notes), $1.975 billion in aggregate principal amount of Inmarsat's 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the Inmarsat 2029 Notes), and $733.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat’s 7.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes), (2) borrowings under Viasat’s $700.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2022 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under Viasat’s $616.7 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2023 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, borrowings under Inmarsat’s original senior secured term loan facility (the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility and, together with the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities) and borrowings under Viasat’s direct loan facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the Ex-Im Credit Facility), and (3) finance lease obligations reported at the present value of future minimum lease payments with current accrued interest. Long-term debt related to the Revolving Credit Facilities is reported at the outstanding principal amount of borrowings, while long-term debt related to the Company's other Credit Facilities and the Notes is reported at amortized cost. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding debt on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Company's variable rate Credit Facilities approximates its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Ex-Im Credit Facility was Level 2 and was approximately $9.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt related to each series of Notes was Level 2 and was $597.5 million and $575.0 million, respectively, for the 2027 Notes, $378.0 million and $350.0 million, respectively, for the 2028 Notes, $1.99 billion and $1.82 billion, respectively, for the Inmarsat 2029 Notes, and $635.4 million and $552.8 million, respectively, for the 2031 Notes. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) was Level 2 and was $438.6 million. The 2025 Notes were redeemed in full during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Satellite performance incentive obligations — The Company’s contracts with satellite manufacturers require the Company to make monthly in-orbit satellite performance incentive payments with respect to certain satellites in commercial service, including interest, through fiscal year 2028, subject to the continued satisfactory performance of the applicable satellites. The Company records the net present value of these expected future payments as a liability and as a component of the cost of the satellites. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations is estimated to approximate their carrying value based on current rates (Level 2). As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s estimated satellite performance incentive obligations relating to certain satellites in commercial service, including accrued interest, were $10.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Note 4 — Shares Used In Computing Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders was the same for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the Company incurred a net loss attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders for such periods and inclusion of potentially dilutive weighted average shares of common stock would be antidilutive.

Potentially dilutive weighted average shares excluded from the calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of 189,202 shares and 221,949 shares, respectively, related to stock options (other than market-based performance stock options), 45,736 and zero shares, respectively, related to market-based performance stock options and market condition PSUs, 4,958,370 shares and 3,705,569 shares, respectively, related to RSUs (other than PSUs), 281,178 shares and 72,660 shares, respectively, related to performance condition PSUs, and 2,429,150 shares and 1,666,593 shares, respectively, related to certain terms of the Viasat 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Note 5 — Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities

In March 2024, Inmarsat amended its then-existing senior secured credit facilities to (among other matters): (1) establish the $1.3 billion 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand, were used to repay approximately $1.38 billion of the outstanding borrowings under the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, resulting in $300.0 million in principal amount of borrowings remaining outstanding under the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility at the closing of the amendment, and (2) replace the prior $700.0 million revolving credit facility with a new $550.0 million revolving line of credit (including up to $100.0 million of letters of credit) (the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility and, together with the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility and the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities). The maturity date for the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility is December 12, 2026, and for the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility is September 28, 2029. The Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of March 28, 2027 and (if more than $100.0 million of borrowings are outstanding under the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2025, Inmarsat had $1.3 billion in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility and $300.0 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn and there were no amounts outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability under the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility of $550.0 million.

Borrowings under the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility are required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $3.25 million each, which commenced in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, followed by a final installment of $1.23 billion at maturity. As a result of the voluntary prepayments at the closing of the amendment, all quarterly amortization installments with respect to the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility have been reduced to zero, with the only remaining scheduled principal repayment being a final installment of $300.0 million at the maturity date on December 12, 2026.

Borrowings under the Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities: (1) in the case of borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, bear interest, at Inmarsat's option, at either (i) the highest of (x) for the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the greater of the federal funds rate or the overnight banking fund rate for such day plus 0.50% and for the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the forward-looking one-month term SOFR rate plus 1.00% or (z) the administrative agent's prime rate as announced from time to time, or (ii) the forward-looking term SOFR rate for the applicable interest period (subject to, in the case of the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, a floor of 0.50% per annum, in the case of the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility, a floor of 0.00% per annum and, in the case of the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, a floor of 1.00% per annum), and (2) in the case of borrowings denominated in available currencies other than U.S. Dollars, bear interest based upon the applicable benchmark for such currencies (as described in the Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities) plus, in all cases, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility is 2.50% per annum for base rate loans and 3.50% per annum for SOFR loans. The applicable margin for the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility is 3.50% per annum for base rate loans and 4.50% per annum for SOFR loans.

The Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities contain covenants that restrict, among other things, Inmarsat’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. In addition, covenants regarding Inmarsat’s total net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio apply to the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility.

The effective interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Ex-Im Credit Facility, which takes into account timing and amount of borrowings and payments, exposure fees, debt issuance costs and other fees, is 4.54%. Borrowings under the Ex-Im Credit Facility are required to be repaid in 16 semi-annual principal installments, which commenced on April 15, 2018, with a maturity date of October 15, 2025. The Ex-Im Credit Facility is guaranteed by Viasat and is secured by first-priority liens on the ViaSat-2 satellite and related assets, as well as a pledge of the capital stock of the borrower under the facility.

The Ex-Im Credit Facility contains covenants regarding Viasat’s maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Ex-Im Credit Facility contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the Company’s ability to sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, make capital expenditures, grant liens, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Ex-Im Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025.

Borrowings under the Ex-Im Credit Facility are recorded as current portion of long-term debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The discount of $42.3 million (consisting of the initial $6.0 million pre-exposure fee, $35.3 million of completion exposure fees, and other customary fees) and deferred financing cost associated with the issuance of the borrowings under the Ex-Im Credit Facility are amortized to interest expense on an effective interest rate basis over the weighted average term of the Ex-Im Credit Facility and in accordance with the related payment obligations.

Viasat Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2025, Viasat's revolving credit facility (the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility) provided a $647.5 million revolving line of credit (including up to $150.0 million of letters of credit), with a maturity date of the earliest of (A) August 24, 2028 and (B) the springing maturity date (as defined in the Viasat Revolving Credit Agreement, which is effectively 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain material debt for borrowed money of Viasat and its subsidiaries to the extent certain conditions have not been satisfied as of such date). At June 30, 2025, the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn and there was $51.9 million outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability under the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility of $595.6 million.

Borrowings under the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, forward-looking term SOFR (as defined in the definitive credit agreement governing the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility) for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or (2) forward-looking term SOFR (not to be less than 0.00% per annum), plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), an applicable margin that is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The Company has capitalized certain amounts of interest expense on the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the construction of various assets during the construction period. The Viasat Revolving Credit Facility is required to be guaranteed by certain significant domestic subsidiaries of the Company (as defined in the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility) and secured by substantially all of the Company’s and any such subsidiaries’ assets. As of June 30, 2025, none of the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility.

The Viasat Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants regarding a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, make capital expenditures, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025.

Senior Notes due 2025; Discharge of Indenture and Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt

In September 2017, the Company issued $700.0 million in principal amount of 2025 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company repurchased $257.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes in open market transactions. On May 2, 2025, the Company redeemed all of the remaining $442.6 million in principal amount of 2025 Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, and the indenture governing the 2025 Notes was satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms. As a result of the redemption of the 2025 Notes, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of an insignificant amount in loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The 2025 Notes bore interest at the rate of 5.625% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, and were recorded as current portion of long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs, as of March 31, 2025 in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Senior Secured Notes due 2027

In March 2019, the Company issued $600.0 million in principal amount of 2027 Notes in a private placement to institutional buyers. The 2027 Notes were issued at face value and are recorded as long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs, in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The 2027 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per year, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears, which interest payments commenced in October 2019. Debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of the 2027 Notes are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the 2027 Notes, the results of which are not materially different from the effective interest rate basis.

The 2027 Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantees the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, none of the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteed the 2027 Notes.

The 2027 Notes are the Company’s general senior secured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsubordinated debt. The 2027 Notes are effectively senior to all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured debt (including the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes) as well as to all of any permitted junior lien debt that may be incurred in the future, in each case to the extent of the value of the assets securing the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes are effectively subordinated to any obligations that are secured by liens on assets that do not constitute a part of the collateral securing the 2027 Notes (such as the Inmarsat 2026 Notes), are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2027 Notes, and are senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

The indenture governing the 2027 Notes limits, among other things, the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional debt; issue redeemable stock and preferred stock; pay dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; make loans and investments; grant or incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; reduce the Company’s satellite insurance; and consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all of their assets to, another person.

The 2027 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date.

In the event a change of control triggering event occurs (as defined in the indenture governing the 2027 Notes), each holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s 2027 Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Inmarsat 2029 Notes are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Inmarsat 2029 Notes, the results of which are not materially different from the effective interest rate basis.

The Inmarsat 2029 Notes are secured by pari passu first priority liens on the collateral securing the Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities, and are required to be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the subsidiaries of Inmarsat Holdings guaranteeing the Inmarsat Secured Credit Facilities.

Note 7 — Related-Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in transactions with its equity method investments (Navarino UK and JSAT Mobile), which are considered related-party transactions. The Company recognized revenue from Navarino UK and JSAT Mobile for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 of $16.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively. The Company received cash of $15.3 million and $19.3 million from Navarino UK and JSAT Mobile for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivable from Navarino UK and JSAT Mobile as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $10.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company enters into satellite construction agreements as well as various other satellite-related purchase commitments, including with respect to the provision of launch services, operation of its satellites and satellite insurance. See Note 14 — Commitments to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 for information regarding the Company’s future minimum payments under its satellite construction contracts and other satellite-related purchase commitments.

Periodically, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including government investigations and claims, and other claims and proceedings with respect to intellectual property, breach of contract, labor and employment, tax and other matters. Such matters could result in fines; penalties, compensatory, treble or other damages; or non-monetary relief. A violation of government contract laws and regulations could also result in the termination of its government contracts or debarment from bidding on future government contracts. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of its current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has contracts with various U.S. Government agencies. Accordingly, the Company is routinely subject to audit and review by the DCMA, the DCAA and other U.S. Government agencies of its performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, accounting and management internal control business systems, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. An adverse outcome to a review or audit or other failure to comply with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards could result in material civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions being imposed on the Company, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension of payments, significant customer refunds, fines and suspension, or a prohibition on doing business with U.S. Government agencies. In addition, if the Company fails to obtain an “adequate” determination of its various accounting and management internal control business systems from applicable U.S. Government agencies or if allegations of impropriety are made against it, the Company could suffer serious harm to its business or its reputation, including its ability to bid on new contracts or receive contract renewals and its competitive position in the bidding process. As of June 30, 2025, the DCMA had approved the Company’s incurred costs through fiscal year 2022. The DCAA is currently auditing the Company's fiscal year 2024 recurring incurred cost submission. The Company's cost accounting practices are examined for compliance with the applicable CAS. Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2022 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates, its profitability would be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $15.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts. This reserve is classified as either an element of accrued liabilities or as a reduction of unbilled accounts receivable based on the status of the related contracts.

(UNAUDITED)

In June 2025, Inmarsat agreed to a binding term sheet with Ligado Networks (Ligado) and AST & Science, LLC to settle Inmarsat's opposition to Ligado’s planned restructuring. Under the conditions set forth in the term sheet, the Company anticipates receiving $568 million from Ligado in fiscal year 2026, consisting of (i) a $420 million lump sum payment on October 31, 2025, (ii) a $100 million lump sum payment on March 31, 2026 and (iii) a resumption of quarterly payments of approximately $16 million starting on September 30, 2025 with an annual escalator of 3% for the life of the contract (through 2107). The conditions of the term sheet are subject to bankruptcy court approval.

In September 2023, the Company settled certain pending litigation. Under the terms of the settlement and licensing agreement, the Company receives certain payments, which may vary based on sales of licensed products. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company received payments of approximately $30.8 million and $41.7 million, respectively, which were recognized as product revenues in the Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment for such periods. The Company may from time to time receive additional licensing and royalty payments under the settlement and licensing agreement.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $6.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 15% and negative 5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for both of the periods differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance and foreign tax rate differences.

The Company's total valuation allowance increased from $430.5 million at March 31, 2025 to $440.2 million at June 30, 2025, relating to carryforwards for federal, state, and foreign net operating losses, federal and state research and development tax credits, and foreign tax credits.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $4.1 million, and interest and penalties increased by an insignificant amount. Of the total $192.3 million gross unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025, $14.2 million would reduce the Company's annual effective tax rate if recognized based on the Company's valuation allowance position at June 30, 2025.

Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the United States. As required by ASC 740, no impacts of the tax law changes pursuant to the OBBBA are included in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The OBBBA includes a broad range of material business tax reforms, such as 100% bonus depreciation, expensing of U.S.-based research and development, modification of the interest expense limitation, and modification of various U.S. international tax provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the tax law changes pursuant to the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 10 — Segment Information

The Company reports its results in two separate segments consisting of communication services and defense and advanced technologies. The Company's segments are determined consistent with the way management currently organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The Company’s reportable segments (communication services and defense and advanced technologies) have been determined based upon their market and economic characteristics while also giving consideration to the structure and management of various business lines. The reportable segments are primarily determined based upon industry categories and core competencies relating to product or service end market distribution, operations, and servicing and distinguished by the type of customer and, to a lesser extent, the related contractual requirements.

The Company’s communication services segment provides a wide range of broadband and narrowband communications solutions across government and commercial mobility markets, as well as for residential and enterprise fixed broadband customers. The Company’s communication services segment revenues are primarily derived from the Company’s aviation services (including IFC services), government satcom services, maritime services (including narrowband and safety of communication capabilities), fixed broadband services, and energy services, as well as a wide array of advanced satellite and wireless products, networks and terminal solutions that support or enable the provision of fixed and mobile broadband and narrowband services.

The Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment develops and offers a diverse array of resilient, vertically integrated solutions to government and commercial customers, leveraging the Company’s technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms. The more regulated government environment for defense, encryption and other products is subject to unique contractual requirements and possesses economic characteristics that differ from the communication services segment. The Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment revenues are primarily derived from the Company’s information security and cyber defense, space and mission systems, tactical networking, and advanced technologies and other products and services, which are provided to government and commercial customers.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Segment operating profits (losses) are the primary measure used by the Company's CODM to evaluate segment operating performance. The CODM regularly reviews budget-to-actual variances of segment operating profits (losses) when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to each segment.

Company Overview

We are an innovative, global provider of communications technologies and services, focused on making connectivity accessible, available and secure for current and future customers worldwide. By leveraging our own satellite fleet and its advantages, existing national operator partnerships, plus coverage and capacity from leading third-party satellites and constellations, our services are designed to provide customers with the essential capacity density, market access, speed, bandwidth and responsiveness they need. Our end-to-end multi-band platform of satellites, ground infrastructure and user terminals enables us to provide a wide array of cost-effective, high-quality broadband, narrowband and other connectivity solutions to aviation, maritime, enterprise, consumer, military and government users around the globe, whether on the ground, in the air or at sea. In addition, our government business includes a portfolio of communications gateways; situational awareness and command and control products and services; satellite communication products and services across various frequency bands; and cybersecurity and information assurance products and services. We believe that our diversification strategy—anchored in a broad portfolio of customer-centric products and services and supported by our fleet of broadband and narrowband satellites—our vertical integration and our ability to effectively cross-deploy technologies between government and commercial applications and segments as well as across different geographic markets, provide us with a strong foundation to sustain and enhance our leadership in advanced communications and networking technologies. We conduct our business through two reportable segments: communication services and defense and advanced technologies. Viasat, Inc. (Viasat) was incorporated in California in 1986, and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1996.

Communication Services

Our communication services segment provides a wide range of broadband and narrowband communications solutions across government and commercial mobility markets, as well as for residential and enterprise fixed broadband customers. In addition, this segment includes the development and sale of a wide array of advanced satellite and wireless products and terminals that support or enable the provision of fixed and mobile broadband and narrowband services. We design, develop and produce space system solutions for multiple orbital regimes, including geostationary earth orbit (GEO), medium earth orbit (MEO) and low earth orbit (LEO).

The following are the primary business lines in our communication services segment:

•Aviation, which includes industry-leading in-flight connectivity (IFC) services, narrowband safety operational data services and other complementary services and applications for commercial aircraft, business jets and unmanned aircraft. As of June 30, 2025, we had our IFC systems installed and in service on approximately 4,230 commercial aircraft, of which approximately 100 were inactive at quarter end (mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance), and approximately 2,050 business jets with Ka-band communication services. We anticipate that approximately 1,580 additional commercial aircraft will be put into service with our IFC systems under existing customer agreements with commercial airlines. However, due to the nature of commercial airline contracts and other factors such as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) delays, there can be no assurance that anticipated IFC services will be activated on all such additional commercial aircraft.

•Government satcom, which includes various broadband and narrowband products and services for both fixed and mobile communications that provide military and government users with secure, high-speed, real-time broadband and multimedia connectivity in key regions of the world, as well as tactical line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance services and L-band Advanced Communications Element terminals.

•Maritime, which includes high-quality, resilient satellite-based broadband and narrowband communications services around the globe to commercial shipping fleets, offshore service vessel operators and commercial fishing companies, as well as NexusWave, a fully managed multi-layer connectivity service for merchant shipping companies. As of June 30, 2025, we provided Ka-band communication services to approximately 13,900 vessels.

•Fixed services and other, which includes high-speed, high-quality, reliable fixed broadband internet services to businesses and residential users (primarily in the United States as well as in various countries in Europe and Latin America), enterprise connectivity solutions, Internet-of-Things and other narrowband services (such as L-band managed services that enable real-time machine-to-machine position or high-value asset tracking), energy services, and prepaid internet services that provide innovative, affordable, satellite-based connectivity in communities that have little or no access to the internet. As of June 30, 2025, our U.S. fixed broadband business had approximately 172,000 subscribers with an average monthly revenue per user of $115.

35

Defense and Advanced Technologies

Our defense and advanced technologies segment develops and offers a diverse array of resilient, vertically integrated solutions to government and commercial customers, leveraging our core technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms.

The following are the primary business lines in our defense and advanced technologies segment:

•Information security and cyber defense, which comprises a variety of high-quality networking, cybersecurity and information assurance products and services that provide advanced, high-speed IP-based “Type 1” and High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryption (HAIPE®)-compliant encryption solutions that enable military and government users to communicate information securely, and that protect the integrity of data stored on computers and storage devices. Information security and cyber defense also includes our Move Out/Jump Off expeditionary tactical gateway family of products.

•Space and mission systems, which includes specialized design and technology services covering all aspects of satellite communication system architecture, networks and technology, including state-of-the-art government satellite communication systems, mobile and fixed broadband modems, ground and airborne terminals, antennas and gateways for terrestrial and satellite customer applications, Ka-band earth stations and other multi-band/multi-function antennas, as well as products designed for manpacks, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, seagoing vessels, ground-mobile vehicles, space-based systems and fixed applications. Space and mission systems also includes the design and development of the architecture of high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellites and the associated satellite payload and antenna technologies (both for our own satellite fleet as well as for third parties), and special purpose LEO and MEO satellites and other small satellite platforms.

Factors and Trends Affecting our Results of Operations

For a summary of factors and trends affecting our results of operations, see Part II, Item 7, "Factors and Trends Affecting our Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Sources of Revenues

Our communication services segment revenues are primarily derived from our aviation services (including IFC services), government satcom services, maritime services (including narrowband and safety of communication capabilities), fixed broadband services, and energy services, as well as a wide array of advanced satellite and wireless products, networks and terminal solutions that support or enable the provision of fixed and mobile broadband and narrowband services.

Our defense and advanced technologies segment revenues are primarily derived from our information security and cyber defense, space and mission systems, tactical networking, and advanced technologies and other, products and services, which are provided to government and commercial customers.

Almost all of our revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts (which require us to provide products and services under a contract at a specified price), which are reported in both of our segments. The remainder of our revenues is primarily from cost-reimbursement contracts (under which we are reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit), which are mainly reported within our defense and advanced technologies segment.

Historically, a portion of our revenues has been derived from customer contracts that include the development of products, mainly reported within the defense and advanced technologies segment. The development efforts are conducted in direct response to the customer’s specific requirements and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of sales when incurred and the related funding (which includes a profit component) is included in revenues. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

36

To date, our ability to grow and maintain our revenues in each of our communication services and defense and advanced technologies segments has depended on our ability to identify and target markets where the customer places a high priority on the technology solution, and our ability to obtain additional sizable contract awards. Due to the nature of this process, it is difficult to predict the probability and timing of obtaining awards in these markets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We describe the specific risks for these critical accounting policies in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and even the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue recognition

We apply the five-step revenue recognition model under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (commonly referred to as ASC 606) to our contracts with our customers. Under this model, we (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify our performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price for the contract, (4) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations. These performance obligations generally include the purchase of services (including broadband capacity and the leasing of broadband equipment), the purchase of products, and the development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenues, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

The timing of satisfaction of performance obligations may require judgment. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from contracts with customers for services, primarily consisting of connectivity services. These contracts typically require advance or recurring monthly payments by the customer. Our obligation to provide connectivity services is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. The measure of progress over time is based upon either a period of time (e.g., over the estimated contractual term) or usage (e.g., bandwidth used/bytes of data processed). We evaluate whether broadband equipment provided to our customers as part of the delivery of connectivity services represents a lease in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842). As discussed in Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – Leases to our condensed consolidated financial statements, for broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, we account for the lease and non-lease components of connectivity service arrangements as a single performance obligation as the connectivity services represent the predominant component.

We also derive a portion of our revenues from contracts with customers to provide products. Performance obligations to provide products are satisfied at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. These contracts typically require payment by the customer upon passage of control and determining the point at which control is transferred may require judgment. To identify the point at which control is transferred to the customer, we consider indicators that include, but are not limited to, whether (1) we have the present right to payment for the asset, (2) the customer has legal title to the asset, (3) physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer, (4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and (5) the customer has accepted the asset. For product revenues, control generally passes to the customer upon delivery of goods to the customer.

37

Our contracts with the U.S. Government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. Government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. Government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer. Under the typical payment terms of our U.S. Government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays us either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments based on a percentage of the costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer can often retain a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, our U.S. Government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which we present as unbilled accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For our U.S. Government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays us for our actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. Government contracts, we typically receive interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. We recognize a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues on the balance sheet. An advance payment is not typically considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.

Performance obligations related to developing and delivering complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts are recognized over time as these performance obligations do not create assets with an alternative use to us and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance to date. To measure the transfer of control, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Estimating the total costs at completion of a performance obligation requires management to make estimates related to items such as subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity and the costs of overhead. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined. A one percent variance in our future cost estimates on open fixed-price contracts as of June 30, 2025 would change our income (loss) before income taxes by an insignificant amount.

The evaluation of transaction price, including the amounts allocated to performance obligations, may require significant judgments. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue, and, where applicable, the cost at completion, is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Our contracts may contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions, including the potential for significant financing components, that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These amounts, which are sometimes variable, can be dictated by performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets, the timing of payments, and customer discretion. We estimate variable consideration at the amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. In the event an agreement includes embedded financing components, we recognize interest expense or interest income on the embedded financing components using the effective interest method. This methodology uses an implied interest rate which reflects the incremental borrowing rate which would be expected to be obtained in a separate financing transaction. We have elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

38

If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. Estimating standalone selling prices may require judgment. When available, we utilize the observable price of a good or service when we sell that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, we estimate the standalone selling price by considering all information (including market conditions, specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available.

Property, equipment and satellites

Property, equipment and satellites, net includes our owned and leased satellites and the associated earth stations and networking equipment, as well as the customer premise equipment units which are leased to customers as part of our communication services segment.

Satellites and other property and equipment are recorded at cost or in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentive payments expected to be payable to the satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. We also construct earth stations, network operations systems and other assets to support our satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in commercial service, we estimate the useful life of our satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends. We periodically review the remaining estimated useful life of our satellites to determine if revisions to the estimated useful lives are necessary.

Leases

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 842), we assess at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Generally, we determine that a lease exists when (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) we obtain the right to substantially all economic benefits from use of the asset, and (3) we have the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease when one or more of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset or (5) the asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.

At the lease commencement date, we recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except short-term leases with an original term of 12 months or less. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with standards that apply to long-lived assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate for a collateralized loan with the same term as the underlying leases.

Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of (1) fixed lease payments for the noncancelable lease term, (2) fixed lease payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal option will be exercised, and (3) variable lease payments that depend on an underlying index or rate, based on the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Certain of our real estate lease agreements require variable lease payments that do not depend on an underlying index or rate established at lease commencement. Such payments and changes in payments based on a rate or index are recognized in operating expenses when incurred.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term plus variable lease payments as incurred. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the depreciation of assets obtained under finance leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense on the lease liability based on the discount rate at lease commencement. For both operating and finance leases, lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

39

For broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, we have made an accounting policy election not to separate the broadband equipment from the related connectivity services. The connectivity services are the predominant component of these arrangements. The connectivity services are accounted for in accordance ASC 606. We are also a lessor for certain insignificant communications equipment. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Business combinations

The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. Additionally, we recognize technology, contracts and customer relationships, orbital slots and spectrum assets, trade names and other as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

Impairment of long-lived and other long-term assets (property, equipment and satellites, and other assets, including goodwill)

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets (ASC 360), we assess potential impairments to our long-lived assets, including property, equipment and satellites and other assets, when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) are less than the asset’s carrying value. Any required impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, and would be recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and charged to results of operations. No material impairments were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

We account for our goodwill under the authoritative guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets (ASC 350). Current authoritative guidance allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after completing the qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value is greater than the carrying value, we conclude that no impairment exists. Alternatively, if we determine in the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value, then we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to identify both the existence of an impairment and the amount of impairment loss, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We test goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter every fiscal year and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that an impairment may exist.

In accordance with ASC 350, we assess qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The qualitative analysis includes assessing the impact of changes in certain factors including: (1) changes in forecasted operating results and comparing actual results to projections, (2) changes in the industry or our competitive environment since the acquisition date, (3) changes in the overall economy, our market share and market interest rates since the acquisition date, (4) trends in the stock price and related market capitalization and enterprise values, (5) trends in peer companies’ total enterprise value metrics, and (6) additional factors such as management turnover, changes in regulation and changes in litigation matters.

Based on our qualitative and quantitative assessment performed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded their related carrying value as of March 31, 2025.

Income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

Management evaluates the realizability of our deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis to determine if the weight of available evidence suggests that an additional valuation allowance is needed. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for income taxes (ASC 740), net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the event that our estimate of taxable income is less than that required to utilize the full amount of any deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance is established, which would cause a decrease to income in the period such determination is made.

40

Our analysis of the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets considered historical as well as forecasted future operating results, the reversal of temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years (if permitted), and the availability of tax planning strategies. Additionally, in our analysis, we also considered the fact that ASC 740 places more weight on the objectively verifiable evidence of current pre-tax losses and recent events than forecasts of future profitability.

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with ASC 740. Under the authoritative guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative guidance addresses the derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of business, there are calculations and transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, changes in tax laws and regulations as well as adverse judicial rulings could adversely affect the income tax provision. We believe we have adequately provided for income tax issues not yet resolved with federal, state and foreign tax authorities. However, if these provided amounts prove to be more than what is necessary, the reversal of the reserves would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which we determine that provision for the liabilities is no longer necessary. If an ultimate tax assessment exceeds our estimate of tax liabilities, an additional charge to expense would result.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenues

	Three Months Ended				Dollar		Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)		Increase (Decrease)
Service revenues	$	826.4	$	820.7	$	5.6		1	%
Product revenues		344.7		305.7		38.9		13	%
Total revenues	$	1,171.1	$	1,126.5	$	44.6		4	%

Our total revenues increased by $44.6 million as a result of a $38.9 million increase in product revenues and a $5.6 million increase in service revenues. The increase in product revenues was primarily driven by a $48.9 million increase in our defense and advanced technologies segment, partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease in our communication services segment. The increase in service revenues was primarily driven by a $10.6 million increase in our communication services segment, partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in our defense and advanced technologies segment.

Cost of revenues

	Three Months Ended				Dollar		Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)		Increase (Decrease)
Cost of service revenues	$	528.2	$	516.7	$	11.6		2	%
Cost of product revenues		233.4		194.2		39.2		20	%
Total cost of revenues	$	761.6	$	710.8	$	50.8		7	%

Cost of revenues increased by $50.8 million due to increases of $39.2 million in cost of product revenues and $11.6 million in cost of service revenues. The increase in cost of product revenues correlated to our product revenue growth, primarily in our defense and advanced technologies segment. Product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues. The increase in cost of service revenues was primarily due to increased service revenues, mainly in our communication services segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

	Three Months Ended				Dollar		Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)		Increase (Decrease)
Selling, general and administrative	$	262.8	$	251.1	$	11.7		5	%

The $11.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses was primarily driven by an $18.3 million increase in support costs, including legal expenses associated with our Ligado settlement activities, partially offset by a $6.2 million decrease in selling costs, both of which were mainly in our communication services segment. SG&A expenses consisted primarily of personnel costs and expenses for business development, marketing and sales, bid and proposal, acquisition and transaction related expenses, facilities, finance, contract administration and general management.

Independent research and development

	Three Months Ended				Dollar			Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
Independent research and development	$	34.2	$	38.6	$	(4.4	)		(11	)%

Independent research and development (IR&D) expenses remained relatively flat year-over-year.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets

We amortize our acquired intangible assets from prior acquisitions over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to 12 years. Amortization of acquired intangible assets remained relatively flat year-over-year.

Interest income

The $8.5 million decrease in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to lower interest earned as a result of lower average invested balance in combination with lower interest rates.

Interest expense

The $5.4 million decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period was primarily a result of our decreased level of indebtedness compared to the prior year period, as we redeemed Viasat's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) in full in early May 2025.

Income taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax provisions of $6.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 15% and negative 5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for both of the periods differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance and foreign tax rate differences.

Segment Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

Communication services segment

Revenues

	Three Months Ended				Dollar			Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
Segment service revenues	$	777.2	$	766.6	$	10.6			1	%
Segment product revenues		50.2		60.2		(10.0	)		(17	)%
Total segment revenues	$	827.4	$	826.8	$	0.6			—	%

Our communication services segment revenues increased by $0.6 million due to a $10.6 million increase in segment service revenues, partially offset by a $10.0 million decrease in segment product revenues. The increase in segment service revenues was primarily due to growth in aviation services, partially offset by an expected decrease in revenues from fixed services and other, as we continued to allocate a greater proportion of our bandwidth to our IFC business in preference to our U.S. fixed services business due to bandwidth constraints. The IFC service revenue increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of commercial aircraft and business jets receiving our in-flight services through our IFC systems, with our IFC systems installed and in service on approximately 4,230 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 100 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance), and approximately 2,050 business jets as of June 30, 2025, compared to approximately 3,810 commercial aircraft (of which approximately 60 were inactive at quarter end, mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance) and approximately 1,850 business jets as of June 30, 2024. In addition, government satcom service revenues grew by $7.9 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease in segment product revenues was primarily attributed to the revenues generated by the energy services system integration business that we sold in December 2024.

Segment operating profit (loss)

	Three Months Ended						Dollar			Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025			June 30, 2024			Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
Segment operating profit (loss)	$	40.9		$	41.9		$	(1.1	)		(3	)%
Percentage of segment revenues		5	%		5	%

The decrease in our communication services segment operating profit was primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in SG&A costs, including legal expenses associated with our Ligado settlement activities.

Defense and advanced technologies segment

Revenues

	Three Months Ended				Dollar			Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025		June 30, 2024		Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
Segment service revenues	$	49.2	$	54.1	$	(4.9	)		(9	)%
Segment product revenues		294.5		245.6		48.9			20	%
Total segment revenues	$	343.7	$	299.7	$	44.0			15	%

Our defense and advanced technologies segment revenues increased by $44.0 million due to a $48.9 million increase in segment product revenues, partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in segment service revenues. The increase in segment product revenues was primarily driven by a $46.6 million increase in information security and cyber defense and a $14.7 million increase in space and mission systems, partially offset by a $9.2 million decrease in advanced technologies and other.

Segment operating profit (loss)

	Three Months Ended						Dollar			Percentage
(In millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2025			June 30, 2024			Increase (Decrease)			Increase (Decrease)
Segment operating profit (loss)	$	71.5		$	84.0		$	(12.5	)		(15	)%
Percentage of segment revenues		21	%		28	%

The decrease in our defense and advanced technologies segment operating profit was primarily due to a $6.1 million increase in SG&A costs and higher IR&D costs supporting next generation encryption products, coupled with an increase in segment cost of product revenues that was attributed to segment product revenue growth. In addition, product revenues in this segment included a higher percentage of intellectual property licensing and royalty-based revenues in the prior period, which had relatively low costs of product revenues.

45

Backlog

Our firm and funded backlog as of June 30, 2025 is reflected in the table below:

	As of June 30, 2025
	(In millions)
Firm backlog
Communication services	$	2,489.8
Defense and advanced technologies		1,058.9
Total	$	3,548.7
Funded backlog
Communication services	$	2,469.5
Defense and advanced technologies		823.0
Total	$	3,292.5

The firm backlog does not include contract options. As of June 30, 2025, approximately half of the firm backlog is expected to be delivered during the next 12 months, with the balance delivered thereafter. We include in our backlog only those orders for which we have accepted purchase orders, and not anticipated purchase orders and requests. In our communication services segment, our backlog includes fixed broadband service revenues under our subscriber agreements, but does not include future recurring IFC service revenues under our agreements with commercial airlines. As of June 30, 2025, our IFC systems were installed and in service on approximately 4,230 commercial aircraft, of which approximately 100 were inactive at quarter end (mostly due to standard aircraft maintenance). We anticipate that approximately 1,580 additional commercial aircraft will be put into service with our IFC systems under existing customer agreements with commercial airlines. Due to the nature of commercial airline contracts and other factors such as OEM delays, there can be no assurance that all anticipated purchase orders and requests will be placed or that anticipated IFC services will be activated on all such additional commercial aircraft.

Our total new awards, which exclude future revenue under recurring consumer commitment arrangements, were approximately $1.2 billion for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A majority of our contracts can be terminated at the convenience of the customer. Orders are often made substantially in advance of delivery, and our contracts typically provide that orders may be terminated with limited or no penalties. In addition, purchase orders may present product specifications that would require us to complete additional product development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications could lead to a termination of the related contract.

Firm backlog amounts are comprised of funded and unfunded components. Funded backlog represents the sum of contract amounts for which funds have been specifically obligated by customers to contracts. Unfunded backlog represents future amounts that customers may obligate over the specified contract performance periods. Our customers allocate funds for expenditures on long-term contracts on a periodic basis. Our ability to realize revenues from contracts in backlog is dependent upon adequate funding for such contracts. Although we do not control the funding of our contracts, our experience indicates that actual contract funding has ultimately been approximately equal to the aggregate amounts of the contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have financed our operations to date primarily with cash flows from operations, bank line of credit financing, debt financing, export credit agency financing and equity financing. At June 30, 2025, we had $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, $1.3 billion in working capital, no outstanding borrowings and borrowing availability of $595.6 million under our $647.5 million revolving credit facility (the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility), and no outstanding borrowings and borrowing availability of $550.0 million under Inmarsat's $550.0 million revolving line of credit (the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility, and together with the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities). At March 31, 2025, we had $1.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents, $1.2 billion in working capital, no outstanding borrowings and borrowing availability of $593.3 million under the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility, and no outstanding borrowings and borrowing availability of $550.0 million under the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility. We invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in short-term, highly liquid bank money market funds primarily investing in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

46

The general cash needs of our business can vary significantly and our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including cash required for our satellite projects and any future broadband satellite projects we may engage in, expansion of our IR&D and marketing efforts, and the nature and timing of orders. In particular:

•The cash needs of our communication services segment tend to be driven by the timing and amount of capital expenditures (e.g., payments under satellite construction and launch contracts and investments in ground infrastructure roll-out), the timing and amount of investments in IR&D activities (including with respect to next-generation satellite payload technologies), investments in joint ventures, strategic partnering arrangements, network expansion activities, investments to obtain Supplemental Type Certificates to enable the retrofit installation of our IFC and wireless in-flight entertainment equipment, investments in platforms and software to support our services and entry into new markets, as well as the quality of customer, type of contract and payment terms.

•In our defense and advanced technologies segment, the primary factors determining cash needs tend to be the type and mix of contracts in backlog (e.g., product or service, development or production), timing of payments and payment terms (including restrictions on the timing of cash payments under U.S. Government procurement regulations), as well as contract duration and program performance. For example, if a program is performing well and meeting its contractual requirements, then its cash flow requirements are usually lower.

Additionally, we will continue to evaluate other possible acquisitions of, or investments in complementary businesses, products and technologies which may require the use of cash or additional financing.

In June 2025, Inmarsat agreed to a binding term sheet with Ligado Networks (Ligado) and AST & Science, LLC to settle Inmarsat's opposition to Ligado’s planned restructuring. Under the conditions set forth in the term sheet, we anticipate receiving $568 million from Ligado in fiscal year 2026, consisting of (i) a $420 million lump sum payment on October 31, 2025, (ii) a $100 million lump sum payment on March 31, 2026 and (iii) a resumption of quarterly payments of approximately $16 million starting on September 30, 2025 with an annual escalator of 3% for the life of the contract (through 2107). The conditions of the term sheet are subject to bankruptcy court approval.

To further enhance our liquidity position or to finance the construction and launch of any future satellites, acquisitions, strategic partnering arrangements, joint ventures or other business investment initiatives, we may obtain additional financing, which could consist of debt, convertible debt or equity financing from public and/or private credit and capital markets. From time to time, we file universal shelf registration statements with the SEC for the future sale of an unlimited amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares and warrants, which securities may be offered from time to time, separately or together, directly by us, by selling security holders, or through underwriters, dealers or agents at amounts, prices, interest rates and other terms to be determined at the time of the offering. Additionally, we consider strategic divestitures from time to time, such as the sale of our Link-16 tactical data link business that was completed in January 2023 for $1.96 billion in cash, as well as divestitures of non-core assets or businesses, such as the divestiture of our energy services system integration business in December 2024.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire, prepay or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. On May 2, 2025, we redeemed all of Viasat’s remaining 2025 Notes in full. As a result, we recorded a loss of an insignificant amount in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Although we can give no assurances concerning our future liquidity, we believe that we have adequate sources of funding to meet our anticipated operating requirements for the next 12 months, which include, but are not limited to, cash on hand, borrowing capacity, and cash expected to be provided by operating activities.

Cash flows

Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2026 was $258.5 million compared to $151.1 million in the prior year period. This $107.4 million increase was driven by a $128.3 million year-over-year decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets, partially offset by our operating results (net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges) which resulted in $20.9 million of lower cash provided by operating activities year-over-year. The decrease in cash used to fund net operating assets during the first three months of fiscal year 2026 when compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the timing of payments related to our accrued liabilities. Cash paid for income taxes, net, during the first three months of fiscal year 2026 and 2025 were $34.5 million and $32.4 million, respectively. Cash paid for interest (net of amounts capitalized) during the first three months of fiscal years 2026 and 2025 were $59.3 million and $116.4 million, respectively.

47

Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2026 was approximately $176.0 million compared to $221.5 million in the prior year period. This $45.6 million decrease in cash used in investing activities year-over-year reflected a decrease of $103.0 million in cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by a $69.5 million decrease in cash receipts related to satellite insurance claim proceeds year-over-year.

Cash used in financing activities for the first three months of fiscal year 2026 was approximately $513.8 million compared to $22.5 million for the prior year period. This $491.4 million increase in cash used in financing activities year-over-year was primarily due to the redemption of the remaining $442.6 million in principal amount of the 2025 Notes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. See Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Satellite-related activities

Our complementary fleet of 23 in service or operational satellites spans the Ka-, L- and S- bands, with 13 Ka-band satellites, eight L-band satellites (three of which are contingency L-band satellites that are operational but not currently in commercial service), an S-band satellite that supports the European Aviation Network to provide IFC services to commercial airlines in Europe, and an Inmarsat-6 class hybrid Ka-/L-band satellite (the I-6 F1 satellite). In late July 2024, the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite completed in-orbit testing and was integrated into our existing satellite fleet covering the Americas. In May 2025, two Ka-band highly-elliptical earth orbit satellite payloads (GX10A and GX10B) were put in service to provide polar coverage for government customers, with commercial maritime and aviation services anticipated to follow during the current fiscal year. Furthermore, we have eight additional GEO satellites under development: two additional high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellites (ViaSat-3 F2 and ViaSat-3 F3), three additional adaptive Ka-band GEO satellites (GX7, GX8 and GX9) and three Inmarsat-8 L-band GEO safety service satellites. Our extensive satellite fleet enables us to provide a wide array of high-quality broadband and narrowband services with near global coverage (including strong oceanic coverage) with greater redundancy and resiliency.

We expect to continue to invest in IR&D as we continue our focus on leadership and innovation in satellite and space technologies, including for the development of any new generation satellite designs and next-generation satellite network solutions. The level of our investment in a given fiscal year will depend on a variety of factors, including the stage of development of our satellite projects, new market opportunities and our overall operating performance. By leveraging our own satellite fleet and its unique advantages, existing national operator partnerships, plus coverage and capacity from leading third-party satellites and constellations, our services are designed to provide customers with the essential capacity density, market access, speed, bandwidth and responsiveness they need. Importantly, we have continued to innovate advanced multi-orbit resource management techniques to reduce costs and expand geographic coverage to better serve the unique needs of each mobility and defense customer. In forming key partnerships with multiple geostationary orbit and non-geostationary orbit operators, we are well-positioned to support delivery of Viasat’s next-generation services, achieve industry-leading resource utilization, and drive capital efficiency. In parallel, we are working to ensure equitable access to finite space resources and support regulatory certainty enabling multi-orbit solutions and related infrastructure to thrive in a shared and sustainable way.

As we continue to build and expand our global network and satellite fleet, from time to time we enter into satellite construction agreements for the construction and purchase of additional satellites and (depending on the satellite design) the integration of our payload and technologies into the satellites. See Note 14 — Commitments to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 for information regarding our future minimum payments under our satellite construction contracts and other satellite-related purchase commitments (including satellite performance incentive obligations) for the next five fiscal years and thereafter, as well as purchase commitments including satellite-related agreements under the contractual obligations table below. The total project cost to bring a new satellite into service will depend, among other things, on the scope and timing of the earth station infrastructure roll-out and the method used to procure fiber or other access to the earth station infrastructure. Our total cash funding of a satellite project may be reduced through third-party agreements, such as potential joint service offerings and other strategic partnering arrangements.

48

In connection with the launch of any new satellite and the commencement of commercial service on the satellite, we expect to incur additional operating costs that negatively impact our financial results. For example, when ViaSat-2 was placed in commercial service in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, this resulted in additional operating costs during the ramp-up period prior to service launch and in the fiscal year following service launch. These increased operating costs included depreciation, amortization of capitalized software development, earth station connectivity, marketing and advertising costs, logistics, customer care and various support systems. In addition, interest expense increased during fiscal year 2019 as we no longer capitalized the interest expense relating to the debt incurred for the construction of ViaSat-2 and the related gateway and networking equipment once the satellite was in commercial service. As services using the new satellite scaled, however, our revenue base for broadband services expanded and we gained operating cost efficiencies, which together yielded incremental segment earnings contributions. We anticipate that we will incur a similar cycle of increased operating costs and constrained bandwidth supply as we prepare for and launch commercial services on future satellites, including our ViaSat-3 constellation, followed by increases in revenue base and in scale. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in significantly increasing revenues or achieving or maintaining operating profit in our communication services segment, and any such gains may also be offset by investments in our global business. In addition, we may experience capacity constraints on our existing satellites in the lead-up to the commencement of commercial service on new satellites, such as the capacity constraints we have been experiencing since fiscal year 2023 pending our ViaSat-3 constellation entering commercial service.

Long-term debt

As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate principal amount of our total outstanding indebtedness was $6.7 billion, which was comprised of (1) $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 6.500% Senior Notes due 2028, $1.975 billion in aggregate principal amount of Inmarsat's 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and $733.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 7.500% Senior Notes due 2031, (2) $679.0 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under Viasat's $700.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2022 Term Loan Facility), $605.9 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under Viasat's $616.7 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2023 Term Loan Facility), $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities (the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities), no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities, and $9.8 million in principal amount of outstanding borrowings under Viasat's direct loan facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the Ex-Im Credit Facility), and (3) $154.6 million of finance lease obligations. For information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Capital Expenditures and IR&D Investments

For a discussion of our capital expenditures and IR&D investments, see Part II, Item 7, “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Expenditures and IR&D Investments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 for more information.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth a summary of certain material cash requirements for known contractual obligations and commitments at June 30, 2025:

(In thousands, including interest where applicable)	Next 12 months		Thereafter
Operating leases	$	89,227	$	590,353
Senior notes and other long-term debt (1)		613,612		8,550,277
Purchase commitments including satellite-related agreements		1,147,018		1,246,605
Total	$	1,849,857	$	10,387,235

(1)To the extent that the interest rate on any long-term debt is variable, amounts reflected represent estimated interest payments on the applicable current outstanding balance based on the interest rate at June 30, 2025 until the applicable maturity date.

49

We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use several subcontractors and contract manufacturers to provide design and manufacturing services for our products. During the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with subcontractors, contract manufacturers and suppliers that either allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria defined by us or that establish the parameters defining our requirements. We also enter into agreements and purchase commitments with suppliers for the construction, launch, and operation of our satellites. In certain instances, these agreements allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to firm orders being placed. Consequently, only a portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements are firm, non-cancelable and unconditional commitments. We may also cancel, reschedule or adjust our requirements based on business needs after firm orders are placed at a cost, which may be material.

Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $2.2 billion of “other liabilities” as of both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, which primarily consisted of deferred income taxes and the long-term portion of deferred revenues. These remaining liabilities have been excluded from the above table as the timing and/or the amount of any cash payment is uncertain.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2025 as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(b) other than as discussed under “Contractual Obligations” above or disclosed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term and long-term obligations (including Viasat’s and Inmarsat’s senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the Credit Facilities) and our senior unsecured and senior secured notes (collectively, the Notes)). We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our indebtedness for borrowed money comprises borrowings under our Credit Facilities and the aggregate principal amount outstanding under our Notes. The Notes and borrowings under our Ex-Im Credit Facility bear interest at a fixed rate and therefore our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to borrowings under our remaining Credit Facilities, cash equivalents and short-term obligations.

The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal and maximize the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. To minimize this risk, we maintain a significant amount of our cash balance in money market accounts, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries. In general, money market accounts are not subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. Our cash and cash equivalents earn interest at variable rates. Our interest income has been and may continue to be negatively impacted by low market interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Because our investment policy restricts us to invest in conservative, interest-bearing investments and because our business strategy does not rely on generating material returns from our investment portfolio, we do not expect our market risk exposure on our investment portfolio to be material. Due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. We therefore do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by a sudden change in market interest rates.

Our primary interest rate under our variable rate Credit Facilities is the forward-looking term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2025, the effective interest rate on our outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility was 9.48%, and under the 2023 Term Loan Facility was 9.91%. As of June 30, 2025, the effective interest rate under the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities was approximately 10.16%. As of June 30, 2025, the effective interest rate that would have been applied to any new SOFR-based borrowings under the Viasat Revolving Credit Facility was approximately 6.87%, and under the Inmarsat Revolving Credit Facility was approximately 7.07%. As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facilities. Accordingly, assuming the outstanding balance under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the 2023 Term Loan Facility and the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities remained constant over a year and we continued to have no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities, a 10% increase in the interest rates would increase interest incurred, prior to effects of capitalized interest, by approximately $25.4 million over a 12-month period.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We generally conduct our business in U.S. dollars. However, as our international business is conducted in a variety of foreign currencies, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. A five percent variance in foreign currencies in which our international business is conducted would change our income (loss) before income taxes by an insignificant amount for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency risk is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Accordingly, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and anticipated foreign currency transactions.

51

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objective that information in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to the requirements of the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2025.

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

52

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Periodically, we are involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including government investigations and claims, and other claims and proceedings with respect to intellectual property, breach of contract, labor and employment, tax and other matters. Such matters could result in fines; penalties, compensatory, treble or other damages; or non-monetary relief. A violation of government contract laws and regulations could also result in the termination of our government contracts or debarment from bidding on future government contracts. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of our current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular period. For further information on the risks we face from existing and future claims, suits, investigations and proceedings, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The risks described in our report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity or future results.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by the management of Viasat, Inc.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Viasat, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiary, TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. (TrellisWare).

All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investment in unconsolidated affiliate in other assets (long-term) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, patents, orbital slots and other licenses, software development, property, equipment and satellites, long-lived assets, derivatives, contingencies and income taxes including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue from contracts with customers (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606), the Company applies the five-step model to its contracts with its customers. Under this model the Company (1) identifies the contract with the customer, (2) identifies its performance obligations in the contract, (3) determines the transaction price for the contract, (4) allocates the transaction price to its performance obligations and (5) recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies its performance obligations. These performance obligations generally include the purchase of services (including broadband capacity and the leasing of broadband equipment), the purchase of products, and the development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenues, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

Performance obligations

The timing of satisfaction of performance obligations may require judgment. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from contracts with customers for services, primarily consisting of connectivity services. These contracts typically require advance or recurring monthly payments by the customer. The Company’s obligation to provide connectivity services is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. The measure of progress over time is based upon either a period of time (e.g., over the estimated contractual term) or usage (e.g., bandwidth used/bytes of data processed). The Company evaluates whether broadband equipment provided to its customers as part of the delivery of connectivity services represents a lease in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 842). As discussed further below under “Leases - Lessor accounting”, for broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of connectivity service arrangements as a single performance obligation as the connectivity services represent the predominant component.

The Company also derives a portion of its revenues from contracts with customers to provide products. Performance obligations to provide products are satisfied at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. These contracts typically require payment by the customer upon passage of control and determining the point at which control is transferred may require judgment. To identify the point at which control is transferred to the customer, the Company considers indicators that include, but are not limited to, whether (1) the Company has the present right to payment for the asset, (2) the customer has legal title to the asset, (3) physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer, (4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and (5) the customer has accepted the asset. For product revenues, control generally passes to the customer upon delivery of goods to the customer.

The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. Government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. Government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the Company either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments based on a percentage of the costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer can often retain a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which the Company presents as unbilled accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For the Company’s U.S. Government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays the Company for its actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. Government contracts, the Company typically receives interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The Company recognizes a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and presents it as collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues on the balance sheet. An advance payment is not typically considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect the Company from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.

Performance obligations related to developing and delivering complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts are recognized over time as these performance obligations do not create assets with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance to date. To measure the transfer of control, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Estimating the total costs at completion of a performance obligation requires management to make estimates related to items such as subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity and the costs of overhead. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

Contract costs on U.S. Government contracts are subject to audit and review by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), and other U.S. Government agencies, as well as negotiations with U.S. Government representatives. As of June 30, 2025, the DCMA had approved the Company’s incurred costs through fiscal year 2022. The DCMA is currently auditing the Company’s fiscal year 2024 recurring incurred cost submission. The Company's cost accounting practices are examined for compliance with the applicable Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2022 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates its profitability would be adversely affected. The Company had $15.1 million and $14.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts (see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for more information).

Evaluation of transaction price

The evaluation of transaction price, including the amounts allocated to performance obligations, may require significant judgments. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue, and, where applicable, the cost at completion, is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. The Company’s contracts may contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions, including the potential for significant financing components, that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These amounts, which are sometimes variable, can be dictated by performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets, the timing of payments, and customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the amount to which it expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. In the event an agreement includes embedded financing components, the Company recognizes interest expense or interest income on the embedded financing components using the effective interest method. This methodology uses an implied interest rate which reflects the incremental borrowing rate which would be expected to be obtained in a separate financing transaction. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. Estimating standalone selling prices may require judgment. When available, the Company utilizes the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering all information (including market conditions, specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm contracts and orders for which work has not been performed. The Company includes in its remaining performance obligations only those contracts and orders for which it has accepted purchase orders. Remaining performance obligations associated with the Company’s subscribers for fixed consumer and business broadband services in its communication services segment exclude month-to-month service contracts in accordance with a practical expedient and are estimated using a portfolio approach in which the Company reviews all relevant promotional activities and calculates the remaining performance obligation using the average service component for the portfolio and the average time remaining under the contract. The Company’s future recurring in-flight connectivity (IFC) service contracts in its communication services segment do not have minimum service purchase requirements and therefore are not included in the Company’s remaining performance obligations. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3.5 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately half over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company operates and manages its business in two reportable segments: communication services and defense and advanced technologies. Revenue is disaggregated by products and services, customer type, contract type, business line and geographic area, as the Company believes this approach best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 10 — Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue by business line and additional disaggregated revenue disclosures.

The following sets forth disaggregated reported revenue by segment and products and services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
	Communication Services		Defense and Advanced Technologies		Total Revenues
	(In thousands)
Service revenues	$	777,198	$	49,172	$	826,370
Product revenues		50,173		294,511		344,684
Total revenues	$	827,371	$	343,683	$	1,171,054
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
	Communication Services		Defense and Advanced Technologies		Total Revenues
	(In thousands)
Service revenues	$	766,611	$	54,110	$	820,721
Product revenues		60,176		245,563		305,739
Total revenues	$	826,787	$	299,673	$	1,126,460

Revenues from the U.S. Government as an individual customer comprised approximately 15% and 16% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Government were attributable to each of the communication services segment and defense and advanced technologies segment, with higher revenues from the U.S. Government reported within the Company's communication services segment for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Almost all of the Company's revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts (which require the Company to provide products and services under a contract at a specified price), which are reported in both of the Company's segments. The remainder of the Company's revenues is primarily from cost-reimbursement contracts (under which the Company is reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit), which are mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Historically, a portion of the Company’s revenues has been derived from customer contracts that include the development of products. The development efforts are conducted in direct response to the customer’s specific requirements and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of sales when incurred and the related funding (which includes a profit component) is included in revenues. Revenues for the Company’s funded development from its customer contracts were approximately 11% and 12% of its total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Contract balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. A contract asset, or with respect to the Company, an unbilled accounts receivable, is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of the Company’s right to bill and receive consideration, typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally expected to be billed and collected within one year. The unbilled accounts receivable will decrease as provided services or delivered products are billed. The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in the Company’s contracts.

When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability, or with respect to the Company, collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues, is recorded. Reductions in the collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues will be recorded as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

The following table presents contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025:

	As of  June 30, 2025		As of  March 31, 2025
	(In thousands)
Unbilled accounts receivable	$	180,411	$	180,871
Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues		298,876		294,034
Deferred revenues, long-term portion		779,444		786,710

Unbilled accounts receivable decreased by an insignificant amount during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by an increase in billings, primarily in the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment revenues.

Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues increased by $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by advances on goods or services received in excess of revenue recognized.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $106.1 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $106.3 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2024.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

Property, equipment and satellites

Satellites and other property and equipment, including internally developed software, are recorded at cost or, in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentives expected to be payable to satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. The Company also constructs earth stations, network operations systems and other assets to support its satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in commercial service, the Company estimates the useful life of its satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends. The Company periodically reviews the remaining estimated useful life of its satellites to determine if revisions to estimated useful lives are necessary. Costs incurred for additions to property, equipment and satellites, together with major renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the underlying asset. Costs incurred for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations, which for the periods presented, primarily related to losses incurred for unreturned customer premise equipment (CPE). The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to 38 years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.

Costs related to internally developed software for internal uses are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is complete and are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are approximately three to seven years. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in property, equipment and satellites, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense is capitalized on the carrying value of assets under construction, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for the capitalization of interest (ASC 835-20). With respect to the construction of satellites, gateway and networking equipment and other assets under construction, the Company capitalized $55.2 million and $56.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's complementary fleet of 23 in service or operational satellites spans the Ka-, L- and S- bands, with 13 Ka-band satellites, eight high-availability L-band satellites (three of which are contingency L-band satellites that are operational but not currently in commercial service), an S-band satellite that supports the European Aviation Network to provide IFC services to commercial airlines in Europe, and an Inmarsat-6 class hybrid Ka-/L-band satellite (the I-6 F1 satellite). In late July 2024, the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite completed in-orbit testing and was integrated into the Company's existing satellite fleet covering the Americas. In May 2025, two Ka-band highly-elliptical earth orbit satellite payloads (GX10A and GX10B) were put in service to provide polar coverage for government customers, with commercial maritime and aviation services anticipated to follow during fiscal year 2026. Furthermore, the Company has eight additional geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites under development: two additional high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellites (ViaSat-3 F2 and ViaSat-3 F3), three additional adaptive Ka-band GEO satellites (GX7, GX8 and GX9) and three Inmarsat-8 L-band GEO safety service satellites. In addition to the Company's satellite fleet, the Company has purchased capacity on and has access to additional regional partner satellites. In addition, the Company owns related earth stations and networking equipment for all of its satellites. The Company procures CPE units leased to customers in order to connect to the Company's satellite network as part of the Company’s communication services segment, which are reflected in investing activities and property, equipment and satellites, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company depreciates the satellites, earth stations and networking equipment, CPE units and related installation costs over their estimated useful lives. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of June 30, 2025 were $525.0 million and $335.6 million, respectively. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of March 31, 2025 were $526.0 million and $328.0 million, respectively.

As a result of the anomalies that occurred with respect to the ViaSat-3 F1 and I-6 F2 satellites in fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded a reduction to the carrying value of the satellites of approximately $1.67 billion in fiscal year 2024, which was partially offset by total insurance claim receivables of approximately $770.0 million, and for which the final payment was received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Occasionally, the Company may enter into finance lease arrangements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture, fixtures, or satellites. The Company records amortization of assets leased under finance lease arrangements (upon lease commencement) within depreciation expense. The Company’s finance leases consist primarily of satellite lifetime Ka-band capacity leases and have remaining terms from less than one year to 14 years. The Company reports assets obtained under finance leases in property, equipment and satellites, net and the current and non-current portions of its finance lease liabilities in current portion of long-term debt and other long-term debt, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – Leases for more information).

Cloud computing arrangements

The Company enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. Costs incurred for these arrangements are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and postimplementation activities. The Company amortizes the capitalized implementation costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The capitalized costs are included in other current assets within the prepaid expenses and other current assets caption, and other assets (long-term) on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has entered into several cloud computing arrangements that are hosted services contracts mainly as part of projects related to the continuous transformation of technology, integration and implementation of an ERP system. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, gross capitalized implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements was $98.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the related accumulated amortization was $21.0 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The Company recognized amortization of capitalized implementation costs of $2.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Leases

Lessee accounting

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company assesses at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Generally, the Company determines that a lease exists when (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all economic benefits from use of the asset, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease when one or more of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset or (5) the asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except short-term leases with an original term of 12 months or less. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with standards that apply to long-lived assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a collateralized loan with the same term as the underlying leases.

Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of (1) fixed lease payments for the noncancelable lease term, (2) fixed lease payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal option will be exercised, and (3) variable lease payments that depend on an underlying index or rate, based on the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Certain of the Company’s real estate lease agreements require variable lease payments that do not depend on an underlying index or rate established at lease commencement. Such payments and changes in payments based on a rate or index are recognized in operating expenses when incurred.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term plus variable lease payments as incurred. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the depreciation of assets obtained under finance leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense on the lease liability based on the discount rate at lease commencement. For both operating and finance leases, lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of leases for office space, data centers and satellite ground facilities and have remaining terms that typically range from less than one year to 16 years, some of which include renewal options, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. Certain earth station leases have renewal terms that have been deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised and as such have been recognized as part of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for such leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company reports operating lease right-of-use assets in operating lease right-of-use assets and the current and non-current portions of its operating lease liabilities in accrued and other liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor accounting

For broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to separate the broadband equipment from the related connectivity services. The connectivity services are the predominant component of these arrangements. The connectivity services are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is also a lessor for certain insignificant communications equipment. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Business combinations

The authoritative guidance for business combinations (ASC 805) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. The Company recognizes technology, contracts and customer relationships, orbital slots and spectrum assets, trade names and other as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

Patents, orbital slots and other licenses

The Company capitalizes the costs of obtaining or acquiring patents, orbital slots and other licenses. Amortization of intangible assets that have finite lives is provided for by the straight-line method over the shorter of the legal or estimated economic life. Total capitalized costs related to patents, orbital slots and other licenses of $139.6 million and $129.4 million were included in other assets as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $13.4 million and $10.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $3.2 million and an insignificant amount for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If a patent, orbital slot or other license is rejected, abandoned or otherwise invalidated, the unamortized cost is expensed in that period. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not write off any significant costs due to abandonment or impairment.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense using the effective interest rate method, or, when the results are not materially different, on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related debt. The Company capitalized zero debt issuance costs during each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to extinguished debt are expensed at the time the debt is extinguished and recorded in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the terms of a financing obligation are amended and accounted for as a debt modification by the Company, fees incurred directly with the lending institution are capitalized and amortized over the remaining contractual term using the effective interest method. Fees incurred with other parties are expensed as incurred. Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities (collectively, the Revolving Credit Facilities) are recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the authoritative guidance for imputation of interest (ASC 835-30). Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s senior secured and senior unsecured notes (collectively, the Notes) and senior secured term loan credit facilities (together with the Revolving Credit Facilities, the Credit Facilities) are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with debt discounts, in accordance with ASC 835-30.

Software development

Costs of developing software for sale are charged to independent research and development (IR&D) expense when incurred, until technological feasibility has been established. Software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Once the product is available for general release, the software development costs are amortized based on the ratio of current to future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally within five years. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $793.8 million and $780.3 million, respectively, of capitalized costs related to software developed for resale. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $529.0 million and $515.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company capitalized $23.5 million and $18.8 million of costs related to software developed for resale for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for capitalized software development costs was $14.9 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Self-insurance and post-retirement medical benefit liabilities

The Company has self-insurance plans to retain a portion of the exposure for losses related to employee medical benefits and workers’ compensation. The self-insurance plans include policies which provide for both specific and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company utilizes actuarial methods as well as other historical information for the purpose of estimating ultimate costs for a particular plan year. Based on these actuarial methods, along with currently available information and insurance industry statistics, the Company recorded self-insurance liability for its plans of $5.5 million and $5.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s estimate, which is subject to inherent variability, is based on average claims experience in the Company’s industry and its own experience in terms of frequency and severity of claims, including asserted and unasserted claims incurred but not reported, with no explicit provision for adverse fluctuation from year to year. This variability may lead to ultimate payments being either greater or less than the amounts presented above. Self-insurance liabilities have been classified as a current liability in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the estimated timing of the projected payments.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Connect Topco Limited, a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey (Inmarsat Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, Inmarsat, and such acquisition, the Inmarsat Acquisition). As a part of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed a post-retirement medical benefit plan for retired employees (and their dependents) who were employed by Inmarsat before January 1, 1998. The plan is funded by the Company and there are no plan assets from which the costs are paid. The cost of providing these benefits is actuarially determined and accrued over the service period of the active employee groups. The annual increase in Inmarsat's contribution to post-retirement medical liability is capped at the United Kingdom Consumer Price Index +1%.

Indemnification provisions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company includes indemnification provisions in certain of its contracts, generally relating to parties with which the Company has commercial relations. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, including but not limited to losses relating to third-party intellectual property claims. To date, there have not been any material costs incurred in connection with such indemnification clauses. The Company’s insurance policies do not necessarily cover the cost of defending indemnification claims or providing indemnification, so if a claim was filed against the Company by any party that the Company has agreed to indemnify, the Company could incur substantial legal costs and damages. A claim would be accrued when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, no such amounts were accrued related to the aforementioned provisions.

Noncontrolling interests

A noncontrolling interest represents the equity interest in a subsidiary that is not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company and is reported as equity of the Company, separate from the Company’s controlling interest. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the consolidated amounts, which include the amounts attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interest.

In June 2025, TrellisWare declared a cash dividend for a total of $155.7 million. The Company's share of this dividend was $96.0 million. The remaining $59.7 million was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interest in subsidiary in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. Of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interest, $45.9 million was paid to minority shareholders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and $13.8 million was included in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.

Common stock held in treasury

As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had zero shares of common stock held in treasury.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 1,351,971 and 220,113 shares of common stock, respectively, based on the vesting terms of certain restricted stock unit (RSU) and performance-based RSU (PSU) agreements. In order for employees to satisfy minimum statutory employee tax withholding requirements related to the issuance of common stock underlying these RSU and PSU agreements, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 503,164 and 85,638 shares of common stock, respectively, at cost and with a total value of $4.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Although shares withheld for employee withholding taxes are technically not issued, they are treated as common stock repurchases for accounting purposes (with such shares deemed to be repurchased and then immediately retired), as they reduce the number of shares that otherwise would have been issued upon vesting of the RSUs and PSUs. These retired shares remain as authorized stock and are considered to be unissued. The retirement of treasury stock had no impact on the Company’s total consolidated stockholders’ equity.

Derivatives

As a result of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed interest rate cap contracts to hedge the variable interest rate under Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. The interest rate cap contracts provided protection from Compound SOFR rates over 2%, covered the total nominal amount of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities of $1.6 billion, and matured in February 2025. At the time of the acquisition, the Company continued to account for the interest rate cap contracts as cash-flow hedges. Upon amendment of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities in March 2024 (see Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt for more information), the portion of the interest rate cap contracts related to Inmarsat's $1.3 billion senior secured term loan facility (the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility) continued to be accounted for as cash-flow hedges, as the interest rate cap contracts remained in place with their original maturity date.

The Company did not use this instrument, or these types of instruments in general, for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s objective was to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in debt with variable interest rates. Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value. The value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in greater than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in less than 12 months.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are designated as cash-flow hedging instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments until the underlying transaction affects the Company’s earnings, at which time they are then recorded in the same income statement line as the underlying transaction. The Company may designate a derivative with periodic cash settlements and a non-zero fair value at hedge inception as the hedging instrument in a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship. The non-zero fair value of cash flow hedges on the designation date is recognized into income under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as the earnings of the hedge item, with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million (and related tax expense of an insignificant amount) in other comprehensive income arising from changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap contracts (designated as cash-flow hedging instruments) related to Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease of $4.6 million (and related tax benefit of $1.2 million) to other comprehensive income and interest expense, net of the recognition into income of the non-zero hedge inception fair value (based on the nature of the underlying transaction). During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $14.1 million as a result of periodic cash settlements, which was included in operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Stock-based compensation

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments (ASC 718), the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Expense for RSUs and stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. Expense for PSUs with a market condition (such as a stock price milestone) (market condition PSUs) that vest is recognized regardless of the actual outcome achieved and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. Expense for PSUs with a performance condition (such as an operational milestone) (performance condition PSUs) that vest is recorded each period based on a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognized $14.7 million and $19.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits or deficiencies on vesting or settlement of awards as discrete items within income tax benefit or provision within net income (loss) and the related cash flows are classified within operating activities.

Income taxes

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740). The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.

Ordinarily, the Company calculates its provision for income taxes at the end of each interim reporting period on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for tax items that are discrete to each period.

A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future tax consequences resulting from differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credit and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent authoritative guidance

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU amends certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the FASB ASC. These amendments will also align the requirements in the ASC with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, and will not be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirements by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities to enhance disclosures about their reportable segments' significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted the new guidance for annual disclosures in fiscal year 2025 and for interim disclosures in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 on a retrospective basis. See Note 10 — Segment Information for additional information.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation table and disaggregation of income taxes paid. The new standard will become effective for the Company's annual disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. The amendments in this update are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and the guidance did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional disclosures about certain categories of costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, the new standard will become effective for the Company’s annual disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2028 and for interim disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The purpose of this ASU is to reduce diversity in practice and improve the decision usefulness and operability of the guidance for share-based consideration payable to a customer in conjunction with selling goods or services. The new standard will become effective for the Company's interim and annual disclosures beginning in fiscal year 2028. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance can be applied either on a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (ASC 820), the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market-based assumptions to entity specific assumptions:

• Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The following tables present the Company's hierarchy for its assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Cash equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

Long-term debt — As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s long-term debt (including current portion) was comprised of (1) $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes), $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 6.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Notes), $1.975 billion in aggregate principal amount of Inmarsat's 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the Inmarsat 2029 Notes), and $733.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat’s 7.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes), (2) borrowings under Viasat’s $700.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2022 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under Viasat’s $616.7 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2023 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, borrowings under Inmarsat’s original senior secured term loan facility (the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility and, together with the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities) and borrowings under Viasat’s direct loan facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the Ex-Im Credit Facility), and (3) finance lease obligations reported at the present value of future minimum lease payments with current accrued interest. Long-term debt related to the Revolving Credit Facilities is reported at the outstanding principal amount of borrowings, while long-term debt related to the Company's other Credit Facilities and the Notes is reported at amortized cost. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding debt on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Company's variable rate Credit Facilities approximates its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Ex-Im Credit Facility was Level 2 and was approximately $9.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt related to each series of Notes was Level 2 and was $597.5 million and $575.0 million, respectively, for the 2027 Notes, $378.0 million and $350.0 million, respectively, for the 2028 Notes, $1.99 billion and $1.82 billion, respectively, for the Inmarsat 2029 Notes, and $635.4 million and $552.8 million, respectively, for the 2031 Notes. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) was Level 2 and was $438.6 million. The 2025 Notes were redeemed in full during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Satellite performance incentive obligations — The Company’s contracts with satellite manufacturers require the Company to make monthly in-orbit satellite performance incentive payments with respect to certain satellites in commercial service, including interest, through fiscal year 2028, subject to the continued satisfactory performance of the applicable satellites. The Company records the net present value of these expected future payments as a liability and as a component of the cost of the satellites. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations is estimated to approximate their carrying value based on current rates (Level 2). As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s estimated satellite performance incentive obligations relating to certain satellites in commercial service, including accrued interest, were $10.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Note 4 — Shares Used In Computing Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders was the same for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the Company incurred a net loss attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders for such periods and inclusion of potentially dilutive weighted average shares of common stock would be antidilutive.

Potentially dilutive weighted average shares excluded from the calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted of 189,202 shares and 221,949 shares, respectively, related to stock options (other than market-based performance stock options), 45,736 and zero shares, respectively, related to market-based performance stock options and market condition PSUs, 4,958,370 shares and 3,705,569 shares, respectively, related to RSUs (other than PSUs), 281,178 shares and 72,660 shares, respectively, related to performance condition PSUs, and 2,429,150 shares and 1,666,593 shares, respectively, related to certain terms of the Viasat 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Note 5 — Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the insignificant increase in the Company’s goodwill was primarily related to foreign currency translation effect recorded within both of the Company's segments.

Acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of two to 12 years (which approximates the economic pattern of benefit). Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets was $65.7 million and $66.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

2022 Term Loan Facility

Periodically, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including government investigations and claims, and other claims and proceedings with respect to intellectual property, breach of contract, labor and employment, tax and other matters. Such matters could result in fines; penalties, compensatory, treble or other damages; or non-monetary relief. A violation of government contract laws and regulations could also result in the termination of its government contracts or debarment from bidding on future government contracts. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of its current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has contracts with various U.S. Government agencies. Accordingly, the Company is routinely subject to audit and review by the DCMA, the DCAA and other U.S. Government agencies of its performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, accounting and management internal control business systems, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. An adverse outcome to a review or audit or other failure to comply with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards could result in material civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions being imposed on the Company, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension of payments, significant customer refunds, fines and suspension, or a prohibition on doing business with U.S. Government agencies. In addition, if the Company fails to obtain an “adequate” determination of its various accounting and management internal control business systems from applicable U.S. Government agencies or if allegations of impropriety are made against it, the Company could suffer serious harm to its business or its reputation, including its ability to bid on new contracts or receive contract renewals and its competitive position in the bidding process. As of June 30, 2025, the DCMA had approved the Company’s incurred costs through fiscal year 2022. The DCAA is currently auditing the Company's fiscal year 2024 recurring incurred cost submission. The Company's cost accounting practices are examined for compliance with the applicable CAS. Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2022 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates, its profitability would be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $15.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts. This reserve is classified as either an element of accrued liabilities or as a reduction of unbilled accounts receivable based on the status of the related contracts.

In June 2025, Inmarsat agreed to a binding term sheet with Ligado Networks (Ligado) and AST & Science, LLC to settle Inmarsat's opposition to Ligado’s planned restructuring. Under the conditions set forth in the term sheet, the Company anticipates receiving $568 million from Ligado in fiscal year 2026, consisting of (i) a $420 million lump sum payment on October 31, 2025, (ii) a $100 million lump sum payment on March 31, 2026 and (iii) a resumption of quarterly payments of approximately $16 million starting on September 30, 2025 with an annual escalator of 3% for the life of the contract (through 2107). The conditions of the term sheet are subject to bankruptcy court approval.

In September 2023, the Company settled certain pending litigation. Under the terms of the settlement and licensing agreement, the Company receives certain payments, which may vary based on sales of licensed products. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company received payments of approximately $30.8 million and $41.7 million, respectively, which were recognized as product revenues in the Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment for such periods. The Company may from time to time receive additional licensing and royalty payments under the settlement and licensing agreement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 9 — Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $6.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 15% and negative 5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for both of the periods differed from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a U.S. valuation allowance and foreign tax rate differences.

The Company's total valuation allowance increased from $430.5 million at March 31, 2025 to $440.2 million at June 30, 2025, relating to carryforwards for federal, state, and foreign net operating losses, federal and state research and development tax credits, and foreign tax credits.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $4.1 million, and interest and penalties increased by an insignificant amount. Of the total $192.3 million gross unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025, $14.2 million would reduce the Company's annual effective tax rate if recognized based on the Company's valuation allowance position at June 30, 2025.

Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted in the United States. As required by ASC 740, no impacts of the tax law changes pursuant to the OBBBA are included in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The OBBBA includes a broad range of material business tax reforms, such as 100% bonus depreciation, expensing of U.S.-based research and development, modification of the interest expense limitation, and modification of various U.S. international tax provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the tax law changes pursuant to the OBBBA on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 10 — Segment Information

The Company reports its results in two separate segments consisting of communication services and defense and advanced technologies. The Company's segments are determined consistent with the way management currently organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The Company’s reportable segments (communication services and defense and advanced technologies) have been determined based upon their market and economic characteristics while also giving consideration to the structure and management of various business lines. The reportable segments are primarily determined based upon industry categories and core competencies relating to product or service end market distribution, operations, and servicing and distinguished by the type of customer and, to a lesser extent, the related contractual requirements.

The Company’s communication services segment provides a wide range of broadband and narrowband communications solutions across government and commercial mobility markets, as well as for residential and enterprise fixed broadband customers. The Company’s communication services segment revenues are primarily derived from the Company’s aviation services (including IFC services), government satcom services, maritime services (including narrowband and safety of communication capabilities), fixed broadband services, and energy services, as well as a wide array of advanced satellite and wireless products, networks and terminal solutions that support or enable the provision of fixed and mobile broadband and narrowband services.

The Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment develops and offers a diverse array of resilient, vertically integrated solutions to government and commercial customers, leveraging the Company’s technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms. The more regulated government environment for defense, encryption and other products is subject to unique contractual requirements and possesses economic characteristics that differ from the communication services segment. The Company’s defense and advanced technologies segment revenues are primarily derived from the Company’s information security and cyber defense, space and mission systems, tactical networking, and advanced technologies and other products and services, which are provided to government and commercial customers.

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Segment operating profits (losses) are the primary measure used by the Company's CODM to evaluate segment operating performance. The CODM regularly reviews budget-to-actual variances of segment operating profits (losses) when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to each segment.

Segment revenues, expenses and operating profits (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Viasat, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiary, TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. (TrellisWare).

All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investment in unconsolidated affiliate in other assets (long-term) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Management estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, patents, orbital slots and other licenses, software development, property, equipment and satellites, long-lived assets, derivatives, contingencies and income taxes including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for revenue from contracts with customers (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606), the Company applies the five-step model to its contracts with its customers. Under this model the Company (1) identifies the contract with the customer, (2) identifies its performance obligations in the contract, (3) determines the transaction price for the contract, (4) allocates the transaction price to its performance obligations and (5) recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies its performance obligations. These performance obligations generally include the purchase of services (including broadband capacity and the leasing of broadband equipment), the purchase of products, and the development and delivery of complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenues, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from net sales.

Performance obligations

The timing of satisfaction of performance obligations may require judgment. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from contracts with customers for services, primarily consisting of connectivity services. These contracts typically require advance or recurring monthly payments by the customer. The Company’s obligation to provide connectivity services is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. The measure of progress over time is based upon either a period of time (e.g., over the estimated contractual term) or usage (e.g., bandwidth used/bytes of data processed). The Company evaluates whether broadband equipment provided to its customers as part of the delivery of connectivity services represents a lease in accordance with the authoritative guidance for leases (ASC 842). As discussed further below under “Leases - Lessor accounting”, for broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of connectivity service arrangements as a single performance obligation as the connectivity services represent the predominant component.

The Company also derives a portion of its revenues from contracts with customers to provide products. Performance obligations to provide products are satisfied at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. These contracts typically require payment by the customer upon passage of control and determining the point at which control is transferred may require judgment. To identify the point at which control is transferred to the customer, the Company considers indicators that include, but are not limited to, whether (1) the Company has the present right to payment for the asset, (2) the customer has legal title to the asset, (3) physical possession of the asset has been transferred to the customer, (4) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and (5) the customer has accepted the asset. For product revenues, control generally passes to the customer upon delivery of goods to the customer.

The Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and are priced based on estimated or actual costs of producing goods or providing services. The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. Government contracts. The pricing for non-U.S. Government contracts is based on the specific negotiations with each customer. Under the typical payment terms of the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts, the customer pays the Company either performance-based payments (PBPs) or progress payments. PBPs are interim payments based on quantifiable measures of performance or on the achievement of specified events or milestones. Progress payments are interim payments based on a percentage of the costs incurred as the work progresses. Because the customer can often retain a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, the Company’s U.S. Government fixed-price contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which the Company presents as unbilled accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as receivables on the balance sheet. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For the Company’s U.S. Government cost-type contracts, the customer generally pays the Company for its actual costs incurred within a short period of time. For non-U.S. Government contracts, the Company typically receives interim payments as work progresses, although for some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment. The Company recognizes a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and presents it as collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues on the balance sheet. An advance payment is not typically considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect the Company from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.

Performance obligations related to developing and delivering complex equipment built to customer specifications under long-term contracts are recognized over time as these performance obligations do not create assets with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance to date. To measure the transfer of control, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Estimating the total costs at completion of a performance obligation requires management to make estimates related to items such as subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity and the costs of overhead. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

Contract costs on U.S. Government contracts are subject to audit and review by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), and other U.S. Government agencies, as well as negotiations with U.S. Government representatives. As of June 30, 2025, the DCMA had approved the Company’s incurred costs through fiscal year 2022. The DCMA is currently auditing the Company’s fiscal year 2024 recurring incurred cost submission. The Company's cost accounting practices are examined for compliance with the applicable Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to fiscal year 2022 based upon an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved upon final audit or review, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and if future adjustments exceed the Company’s estimates its profitability would be adversely affected. The Company had $15.1 million and $14.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, in contract-related reserves for its estimate of potential refunds to customers for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. Government cost reimbursable contracts (see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for more information).

Evaluation of transaction price

The evaluation of transaction price, including the amounts allocated to performance obligations, may require significant judgments. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue, and, where applicable, the cost at completion, is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. The Company’s contracts may contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions, including the potential for significant financing components, that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These amounts, which are sometimes variable, can be dictated by performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets, the timing of payments, and customer discretion. The Company estimates variable consideration at the amount to which it expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. In the event an agreement includes embedded financing components, the Company recognizes interest expense or interest income on the embedded financing components using the effective interest method. This methodology uses an implied interest rate which reflects the incremental borrowing rate which would be expected to be obtained in a separate financing transaction. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. Estimating standalone selling prices may require judgment. When available, the Company utilizes the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering all information (including market conditions, specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm contracts and orders for which work has not been performed. The Company includes in its remaining performance obligations only those contracts and orders for which it has accepted purchase orders. Remaining performance obligations associated with the Company’s subscribers for fixed consumer and business broadband services in its communication services segment exclude month-to-month service contracts in accordance with a practical expedient and are estimated using a portfolio approach in which the Company reviews all relevant promotional activities and calculates the remaining performance obligation using the average service component for the portfolio and the average time remaining under the contract. The Company’s future recurring in-flight connectivity (IFC) service contracts in its communication services segment do not have minimum service purchase requirements and therefore are not included in the Company’s remaining performance obligations. As of June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3.5 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately half over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company operates and manages its business in two reportable segments: communication services and defense and advanced technologies. Revenue is disaggregated by products and services, customer type, contract type, business line and geographic area, as the Company believes this approach best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 10 — Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue by business line and additional disaggregated revenue disclosures.

The following sets forth disaggregated reported revenue by segment and products and services for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
	Communication Services		Defense and Advanced Technologies		Total Revenues
	(In thousands)
Service revenues	$	777,198	$	49,172	$	826,370
Product revenues		50,173		294,511		344,684
Total revenues	$	827,371	$	343,683	$	1,171,054
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
	Communication Services		Defense and Advanced Technologies		Total Revenues
	(In thousands)
Service revenues	$	766,611	$	54,110	$	820,721
Product revenues		60,176		245,563		305,739
Total revenues	$	826,787	$	299,673	$	1,126,460

Revenues from the U.S. Government as an individual customer comprised approximately 15% and 16% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenues from the U.S. Government were attributable to each of the communication services segment and defense and advanced technologies segment, with higher revenues from the U.S. Government reported within the Company's communication services segment for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Almost all of the Company's revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts (which require the Company to provide products and services under a contract at a specified price), which are reported in both of the Company's segments. The remainder of the Company's revenues is primarily from cost-reimbursement contracts (under which the Company is reimbursed for all actual costs incurred in performing the contract to the extent such costs are within the contract ceiling and allowable under the terms of the contract, plus a fee or profit), which are mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Historically, a portion of the Company’s revenues has been derived from customer contracts that include the development of products. The development efforts are conducted in direct response to the customer’s specific requirements and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of sales when incurred and the related funding (which includes a profit component) is included in revenues. Revenues for the Company’s funded development from its customer contracts were approximately 11% and 12% of its total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, mainly reported within the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment.

Contract balances

Contract balances consist of contract assets and contract liabilities. A contract asset, or with respect to the Company, an unbilled accounts receivable, is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of the Company’s right to bill and receive consideration, typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally expected to be billed and collected within one year. The unbilled accounts receivable will decrease as provided services or delivered products are billed. The Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in the Company’s contracts.

When consideration is received in advance of the delivery of goods or services, a contract liability, or with respect to the Company, collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues, is recorded. Reductions in the collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues will be recorded as the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

The following table presents contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025:

	As of  June 30, 2025		As of  March 31, 2025
	(In thousands)
Unbilled accounts receivable	$	180,411	$	180,871
Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues		298,876		294,034
Deferred revenues, long-term portion		779,444		786,710

Unbilled accounts receivable decreased by an insignificant amount during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by an increase in billings, primarily in the Company's defense and advanced technologies segment revenues.

Collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues increased by $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by advances on goods or services received in excess of revenue recognized.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $106.1 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2025. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $106.3 million that was previously included in the Company’s collections in excess of revenues and deferred revenues at March 31, 2024.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

Property, equipment and satellites

Property, equipment and satellites

Satellites and other property and equipment, including internally developed software, are recorded at cost or, in the case of certain satellites and other property acquired, the fair value at the date of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation. Capitalized satellite costs consist primarily of the costs of satellite construction and launch, including launch insurance and insurance during the period of in-orbit testing, the net present value of performance incentives expected to be payable to satellite manufacturers (dependent on the continued satisfactory performance of the satellites), costs directly associated with the monitoring and support of satellite construction, and interest costs incurred during the period of satellite construction. The Company also constructs earth stations, network operations systems and other assets to support its satellites, and those construction costs, including interest, are capitalized as incurred. At the time satellites are placed in commercial service, the Company estimates the useful life of its satellites for depreciation purposes based upon an analysis of each satellite’s performance against the original manufacturer’s orbital design life, estimated fuel levels and related consumption rates, as well as historical satellite operating trends. The Company periodically reviews the remaining estimated useful life of its satellites to determine if revisions to estimated useful lives are necessary. Costs incurred for additions to property, equipment and satellites, together with major renewals and betterments, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the underlying asset. Costs incurred for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations, which for the periods presented, primarily related to losses incurred for unreturned customer premise equipment (CPE). The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to 38 years. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.

Costs related to internally developed software for internal uses are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is complete and are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are approximately three to seven years. Capitalized costs for internal-use software are included in property, equipment and satellites, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense is capitalized on the carrying value of assets under construction, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for the capitalization of interest (ASC 835-20). With respect to the construction of satellites, gateway and networking equipment and other assets under construction, the Company capitalized $55.2 million and $56.6 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's complementary fleet of 23 in service or operational satellites spans the Ka-, L- and S- bands, with 13 Ka-band satellites, eight high-availability L-band satellites (three of which are contingency L-band satellites that are operational but not currently in commercial service), an S-band satellite that supports the European Aviation Network to provide IFC services to commercial airlines in Europe, and an Inmarsat-6 class hybrid Ka-/L-band satellite (the I-6 F1 satellite). In late July 2024, the ViaSat-3 F1 satellite completed in-orbit testing and was integrated into the Company's existing satellite fleet covering the Americas. In May 2025, two Ka-band highly-elliptical earth orbit satellite payloads (GX10A and GX10B) were put in service to provide polar coverage for government customers, with commercial maritime and aviation services anticipated to follow during fiscal year 2026. Furthermore, the Company has eight additional geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites under development: two additional high-capacity Ka-band GEO satellites (ViaSat-3 F2 and ViaSat-3 F3), three additional adaptive Ka-band GEO satellites (GX7, GX8 and GX9) and three Inmarsat-8 L-band GEO safety service satellites. In addition to the Company's satellite fleet, the Company has purchased capacity on and has access to additional regional partner satellites. In addition, the Company owns related earth stations and networking equipment for all of its satellites. The Company procures CPE units leased to customers in order to connect to the Company's satellite network as part of the Company’s communication services segment, which are reflected in investing activities and property, equipment and satellites, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company depreciates the satellites, earth stations and networking equipment, CPE units and related installation costs over their estimated useful lives. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of June 30, 2025 were $525.0 million and $335.6 million, respectively. The total cost and accumulated depreciation of CPE units included in property, equipment and satellites, net, as of March 31, 2025 were $526.0 million and $328.0 million, respectively.

As a result of the anomalies that occurred with respect to the ViaSat-3 F1 and I-6 F2 satellites in fiscal year 2024, the Company recorded a reduction to the carrying value of the satellites of approximately $1.67 billion in fiscal year 2024, which was partially offset by total insurance claim receivables of approximately $770.0 million, and for which the final payment was received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Occasionally, the Company may enter into finance lease arrangements for various machinery, equipment, computer-related equipment, software, furniture, fixtures, or satellites. The Company records amortization of assets leased under finance lease arrangements (upon lease commencement) within depreciation expense. The Company’s finance leases consist primarily of satellite lifetime Ka-band capacity leases and have remaining terms from less than one year to 14 years. The Company reports assets obtained under finance leases in property, equipment and satellites, net and the current and non-current portions of its finance lease liabilities in current portion of long-term debt and other long-term debt, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 1 — Basis of Presentation – Leases for more information).

Capitalized interest policy

Interest expense is capitalized on the carrying value of assets under construction, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for the capitalization of interest (ASC 835-20).

Cloud computing arrangements

Cloud computing arrangements

The Company enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. Costs incurred for these arrangements are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and postimplementation activities. The Company amortizes the capitalized implementation costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The capitalized costs are included in other current assets within the prepaid expenses and other current assets caption, and other assets (long-term) on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has entered into several cloud computing arrangements that are hosted services contracts mainly as part of projects related to the continuous transformation of technology, integration and implementation of an ERP system. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, gross capitalized implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements was $98.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the related accumulated amortization was $21.0 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The Company recognized amortization of capitalized implementation costs of $2.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Lessee accounting

Lessee accounting

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company assesses at contract inception whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Generally, the Company determines that a lease exists when (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all economic benefits from use of the asset, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease when one or more of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset or (5) the asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria.

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases, except short-term leases with an original term of 12 months or less. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with standards that apply to long-lived assets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a collateralized loan with the same term as the underlying leases.

Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities consist of (1) fixed lease payments for the noncancelable lease term, (2) fixed lease payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal option will be exercised, and (3) variable lease payments that depend on an underlying index or rate, based on the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Certain of the Company’s real estate lease agreements require variable lease payments that do not depend on an underlying index or rate established at lease commencement. Such payments and changes in payments based on a rate or index are recognized in operating expenses when incurred.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the fixed lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term plus variable lease payments as incurred. Lease expense for finance leases consists of the depreciation of assets obtained under finance leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and interest expense on the lease liability based on the discount rate at lease commencement. For both operating and finance leases, lease payments are allocated between a reduction of the lease liability and interest expense.

The Company’s operating leases consist primarily of leases for office space, data centers and satellite ground facilities and have remaining terms that typically range from less than one year to 16 years, some of which include renewal options, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. Certain earth station leases have renewal terms that have been deemed to be reasonably certain to be exercised and as such have been recognized as part of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for such leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company reports operating lease right-of-use assets in operating lease right-of-use assets and the current and non-current portions of its operating lease liabilities in accrued and other liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Lessor accounting

Lessor accounting

For broadband equipment leased to customers in conjunction with the delivery of connectivity services, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to separate the broadband equipment from the related connectivity services. The connectivity services are the predominant component of these arrangements. The connectivity services are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is also a lessor for certain insignificant communications equipment. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Business combinations

Business combinations

The authoritative guidance for business combinations (ASC 805) requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price for business combinations is allocated to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, where applicable. The Company recognizes technology, contracts and customer relationships, orbital slots and spectrum assets, trade names and other as identifiable intangible assets, which are recorded at fair value as of the transaction date. Goodwill is recorded when consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Measurement-period adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding offset to goodwill are recorded in the period they occur, which may include up to one year from the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.

Patents, orbital slots and other licenses

Patents, orbital slots and other licenses

The Company capitalizes the costs of obtaining or acquiring patents, orbital slots and other licenses. Amortization of intangible assets that have finite lives is provided for by the straight-line method over the shorter of the legal or estimated economic life. Total capitalized costs related to patents, orbital slots and other licenses of $139.6 million and $129.4 million were included in other assets as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $13.4 million and $10.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense related to these assets was $3.2 million and an insignificant amount for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. If a patent, orbital slot or other license is rejected, abandoned or otherwise invalidated, the unamortized cost is expensed in that period. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not write off any significant costs due to abandonment or impairment.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense using the effective interest rate method, or, when the results are not materially different, on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the related debt. The Company capitalized zero debt issuance costs during each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to extinguished debt are expensed at the time the debt is extinguished and recorded in (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If the terms of a financing obligation are amended and accounted for as a debt modification by the Company, fees incurred directly with the lending institution are capitalized and amortized over the remaining contractual term using the effective interest method. Fees incurred with other parties are expensed as incurred. Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities (collectively, the Revolving Credit Facilities) are recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the authoritative guidance for imputation of interest (ASC 835-30). Debt issuance costs related to the Company’s senior secured and senior unsecured notes (collectively, the Notes) and senior secured term loan credit facilities (together with the Revolving Credit Facilities, the Credit Facilities) are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with debt discounts, in accordance with ASC 835-30.

Software development

Software development

Costs of developing software for sale are charged to independent research and development (IR&D) expense when incurred, until technological feasibility has been established. Software development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility is reached until the product is available for general release to customers are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Once the product is available for general release, the software development costs are amortized based on the ratio of current to future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally within five years. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $793.8 million and $780.3 million, respectively, of capitalized costs related to software developed for resale. Accumulated amortization related to these assets was $529.0 million and $515.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company capitalized $23.5 million and $18.8 million of costs related to software developed for resale for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for capitalized software development costs was $14.9 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Self-insurance and post-retirement medical benefit liabilities

Self-insurance and post-retirement medical benefit liabilities

The Company has self-insurance plans to retain a portion of the exposure for losses related to employee medical benefits and workers’ compensation. The self-insurance plans include policies which provide for both specific and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company utilizes actuarial methods as well as other historical information for the purpose of estimating ultimate costs for a particular plan year. Based on these actuarial methods, along with currently available information and insurance industry statistics, the Company recorded self-insurance liability for its plans of $5.5 million and $5.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company’s estimate, which is subject to inherent variability, is based on average claims experience in the Company’s industry and its own experience in terms of frequency and severity of claims, including asserted and unasserted claims incurred but not reported, with no explicit provision for adverse fluctuation from year to year. This variability may lead to ultimate payments being either greater or less than the amounts presented above. Self-insurance liabilities have been classified as a current liability in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with the estimated timing of the projected payments.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Connect Topco Limited, a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey (Inmarsat Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, Inmarsat, and such acquisition, the Inmarsat Acquisition). As a part of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed a post-retirement medical benefit plan for retired employees (and their dependents) who were employed by Inmarsat before January 1, 1998. The plan is funded by the Company and there are no plan assets from which the costs are paid. The cost of providing these benefits is actuarially determined and accrued over the service period of the active employee groups. The annual increase in Inmarsat's contribution to post-retirement medical liability is capped at the United Kingdom Consumer Price Index +1%.

Indemnification provisions

Indemnification provisions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company includes indemnification provisions in certain of its contracts, generally relating to parties with which the Company has commercial relations. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, including but not limited to losses relating to third-party intellectual property claims. To date, there have not been any material costs incurred in connection with such indemnification clauses. The Company’s insurance policies do not necessarily cover the cost of defending indemnification claims or providing indemnification, so if a claim was filed against the Company by any party that the Company has agreed to indemnify, the Company could incur substantial legal costs and damages. A claim would be accrued when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, no such amounts were accrued related to the aforementioned provisions.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests

A noncontrolling interest represents the equity interest in a subsidiary that is not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company and is reported as equity of the Company, separate from the Company’s controlling interest. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the consolidated amounts, which include the amounts attributable to both the controlling and noncontrolling interest.

In June 2025, TrellisWare declared a cash dividend for a total of $155.7 million. The Company's share of this dividend was $96.0 million. The remaining $59.7 million was recorded as a reduction to noncontrolling interest in subsidiary in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. Of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interest, $45.9 million was paid to minority shareholders during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and $13.8 million was included in accrued and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.

Derivatives

Derivatives

As a result of the Inmarsat Acquisition, the Company assumed interest rate cap contracts to hedge the variable interest rate under Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. The interest rate cap contracts provided protection from Compound SOFR rates over 2%, covered the total nominal amount of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities of $1.6 billion, and matured in February 2025. At the time of the acquisition, the Company continued to account for the interest rate cap contracts as cash-flow hedges. Upon amendment of Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities in March 2024 (see Note 6 — Senior Notes and Other Long-Term Debt for more information), the portion of the interest rate cap contracts related to Inmarsat's $1.3 billion senior secured term loan facility (the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility) continued to be accounted for as cash-flow hedges, as the interest rate cap contracts remained in place with their original maturity date.

The Company did not use this instrument, or these types of instruments in general, for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s objective was to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in debt with variable interest rates. Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair value. The value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in greater than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability if the cash flows are due to be received in less than 12 months.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are designated as cash-flow hedging instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments until the underlying transaction affects the Company’s earnings, at which time they are then recorded in the same income statement line as the underlying transaction. The Company may designate a derivative with periodic cash settlements and a non-zero fair value at hedge inception as the hedging instrument in a qualifying cash flow hedging relationship. The non-zero fair value of cash flow hedges on the designation date is recognized into income under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and in the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as the earnings of the hedge item, with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income (loss).

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million (and related tax expense of an insignificant amount) in other comprehensive income arising from changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap contracts (designated as cash-flow hedging instruments) related to Inmarsat's senior secured term loan facilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease of $4.6 million (and related tax benefit of $1.2 million) to other comprehensive income and interest expense, net of the recognition into income of the non-zero hedge inception fair value (based on the nature of the underlying transaction). During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $14.1 million as a result of periodic cash settlements, which was included in operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for share-based payments (ASC 718), the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Expense for RSUs and stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. Expense for PSUs with a market condition (such as a stock price milestone) (market condition PSUs) that vest is recognized regardless of the actual outcome achieved and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. Expense for PSUs with a performance condition (such as an operational milestone) (performance condition PSUs) that vest is recorded each period based on a probability assessment of the expected outcome of the performance metric with a final adjustment upon measurement at the end of the performance period and is recognized on a graded-vesting basis. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company recognized $14.7 million and $19.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognizes excess tax benefits or deficiencies on vesting or settlement of awards as discrete items within income tax benefit or provision within net income (loss) and the related cash flows are classified within operating activities.

Income taxes

Income taxes

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740). The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.

Ordinarily, the Company calculates its provision for income taxes at the end of each interim reporting period on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for tax items that are discrete to each period.

A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future tax consequences resulting from differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax credit and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Fair value measurements

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (ASC 820), the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market-based assumptions to entity specific assumptions:

• Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The following tables present the Company's hierarchy for its assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Cash equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds, with a significant portion held in U.S. government-backed securities and treasuries.

Long-term debt — As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s long-term debt (including current portion) was comprised of (1) $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes), $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat's 6.500% Senior Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Notes), $1.975 billion in aggregate principal amount of Inmarsat's 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the Inmarsat 2029 Notes), and $733.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Viasat’s 7.500% Senior Notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes), (2) borrowings under Viasat’s $700.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2022 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under Viasat’s $616.7 million senior secured term loan facility (the 2023 Term Loan Facility), borrowings under the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, borrowings under Inmarsat’s original senior secured term loan facility (the Original Inmarsat Term Loan Facility and, together with the 2024 Inmarsat Term Loan Facility, the Inmarsat Term Loan Facilities) and borrowings under Viasat’s direct loan facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (the Ex-Im Credit Facility), and (3) finance lease obligations reported at the present value of future minimum lease payments with current accrued interest. Long-term debt related to the Revolving Credit Facilities is reported at the outstanding principal amount of borrowings, while long-term debt related to the Company's other Credit Facilities and the Notes is reported at amortized cost. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding debt on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Company's variable rate Credit Facilities approximates its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate, which approximates a market interest rate. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt related to the Ex-Im Credit Facility was Level 2 and was approximately $9.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt related to each series of Notes was Level 2 and was $597.5 million and $575.0 million, respectively, for the 2027 Notes, $378.0 million and $350.0 million, respectively, for the 2028 Notes, $1.99 billion and $1.82 billion, respectively, for the Inmarsat 2029 Notes, and $635.4 million and $552.8 million, respectively, for the 2031 Notes. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of Viasat's 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes) was Level 2 and was $438.6 million. The 2025 Notes were redeemed in full during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Satellite performance incentive obligations — The Company’s contracts with satellite manufacturers require the Company to make monthly in-orbit satellite performance incentive payments with respect to certain satellites in commercial service, including interest, through fiscal year 2028, subject to the continued satisfactory performance of the applicable satellites. The Company records the net present value of these expected future payments as a liability and as a component of the cost of the satellites. However, for disclosure purposes, the Company is required to measure the fair value of outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations on a recurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding satellite performance incentive obligations is estimated to approximate their carrying value based on current rates (Level 2). As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s estimated satellite performance incentive obligations relating to certain satellites in commercial service, including accrued interest, were $10.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively.

Other acquired intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of two to 12 years (which approximates the economic pattern of benefit).
