Q2 FY25 Shareholder Letter

Fellow Shareholders, Our Q2 Fiscal Year 2025 results were better than expected in terms of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA performance, reflecting continued demand for our industry leading technology solutions and strong results in Defense and Advanced Technologies (DAT). We also continued to take actions to strengthen our capital structure, including an upsized refinancing of nearly $2 billion of secured notes originally due 2026. New contract awards in Q2 set a new record at $1.3 billion and were led by DAT (which doubled YoY awards led by cybersecurity, space and mission systems, and tactical networking), and by aviation connectivity services. Our recent investor teach-in highlighted the attractive growth potential and durable competitive advantages in key technologies such as next generation free space optical technology, mission specific phased array terminals, space based cyber security, and others. Our Q2 DAT awards reinforce that we are on the right track including for US government programs, international government opportunities, and certain commercial markets. One of the unifying themes among our customers is access to a diverse set of orbits, spectrum, and constellations, as well as avoiding over-dependence on individual systems. Of course, we understand the intensity of competition in some of our core businesses. That makes the size, competitive positioning and growth prospects of these DAT opportunities especially exciting. We are open minded about the best ways to capitalize on these opportunities – and are actively evaluating alternatives – while those businesses are both delivering growth and increasing their potential. We are very pleased to have Gary Chase join us as our new CFO. Gary’s leadership experience in strategic, operational and financial planning will augment our focus on cash conversion, return on capital, converging to a more balanced capital structure and operating financial profile. Gary will provide additional experienced financial leadership on the areas we highlighted last quarter including: › Identifying, evaluating, and executing the best alternatives to realize the value embedded in our business portfolio. › Leading detailed financial reviews of our business operations designed to ensure we are at peak operational productivity levels with corresponding margin performance. › Increased rigor in capital allocation strategy to ensure we are optimizing return on capital in both the near and long term. The main point is we are exploring additional financial and capital structure perspectives. We are also continuing to drive down capital intensity by augmenting our own satellites through both tactical and strategic third- party agreements. By leveraging our own satellite fleet and its diverse capabilities, existing national operator partnerships, and the coverage of additional third-party satellites and constellations we can both ensure our customers are getting the performance and coverage they need and more explicitly measure and drive improved returns on capital. Our satellite operator partners are often national space champions of key countries and geographic regions and are seeking a robust global space eco-system to support their own national security and sovereignty. We are working with both GSO and NGSO systems. Other key corporate initiatives include: › Evolving L-band to create value for the millions of people that depend on its use for safety and connectivity in the air, at sea, and on land. We have a very significant opportunity to concurrently greatly expand our addressable market through these evolved services, and by leveraging the NTN / D2D standards, and open architecture, enabling multi-tenant satellites. We see multiple avenues to create value for our shareholders, customers and partners and continue to work with like-minded MSS operators through the MSSA. › And last but certainly not least, getting our satellites under construction into service! We have already accumulated substantial IFC operational performance experience with ViaSat-3 F1 (VS-3 F1) that reinforces the value of its dynamic beamforming technology to apply its bandwidth to the most important places – especially for mobility applications. It’s clear that being able to effectively dedicate beams to aircraft drives performance. We continue to work on and make progress on our satellite roadmap. In summary, second quarter operational performance was quite good. We are capturing our share of large and growing markets and are focused on improving operational and capital productivity. We are strengthening our capital structure and we have a long runway of opportunities. Shareholder Letter | Q2 Fiscal Year 2025 1

Q2 FY2025 Financial Results Revenue of $1.1 billion in Q2 FY2025 decreased 8% YoY. Excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement, revenue decreased 1% YoY reflecting growth in the Defense and Advanced Technologies segment that was offset by lower Communication Services revenue Net loss of $138 million for Q2 FY2025 improved compared to the net loss of $767 million in Q2 FY2024, primarily reflecting the impairment charge related to our satellite programs in the prior year period Q2 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA1 was $375 million, a decrease of 23% YoY. Excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement and the benefit from the $18 million received from a favorable adjustment to the consideration paid for the acquisition of Euro Broadband Infrastructure Sárl (EBI) in Q2 FY2024, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2% YoY. Strong operating performance in aviation services and tactical networking products partially offset declines in fixed services and other (FS&O), space and mission systems product and maritime service revenues. Defense and Advanced Technologies revenue decreased 22% YoY. Excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement, revenue grew 4% YoY driven primarily by tactical networking products Communication Services revenue decreased 2% YoY due primarily to expected declines in FS&O service revenues and lower revenue from maritime services, which were largely offset by continued strong growth in aviation services and government satcom services Awards for the quarter were an all-time record of $1.3 billion, an increase of 25% YoY. Defense and Advanced Technologies segment awards more than doubled, reaching $510 million in Q2 FY2025 Net leverage3 increased sequentially to approximately 3.6x LTM Adjusted EBITDA AWARDS $ in millions REVENUE $ in millions OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) $ in millions BACKLOG $ in millions ADJ.

Communication Services segment provides a wide range of broadband and narrowband communications solutions across government and commercial mobility, maritime, fixed broadband (residential), energy and enterprise customers Communication Services Segment Highlights Expanded partnership with Azul to equip new, linefit Airbus A330-900neos with in-flight Wi-Fi and our ad-supported streaming services using the Viasat Advertising platform Introduced Enhanced LAISR, an on-demand, managed L-band service for global communications flexibility across airborne, maritime, and land platforms. This service, built on the global L-band network, offers high availability and flexibility for military operations, offering 99.9 percent network reliability During the quarter, VS3-F1 entered commercial service for aviation customers operating over North America, including routes servicing Hawaii. Subsequent to quarter end, VS-3 F1 also started delivering service to the U.S. Marine Corps, marking the first use of the ViaSat-3 network by a government customer Successfully launched GX10A and GX10B Ka-Band payloads, extending Viasat’s high-speed global network with dedicated coverage in the Arctic region Announced global container shipping major Hapag-Lloyd among first to trial NexusWave, the fully managed maritime connectivity service which delivers a first to industry global service orchestrated by bringing together a multi-orbit, multi-band set of networks as a single network solution Awards Q2 FY2025 Communication Services awards decreased 2% YoY to $765 million. Strong YoY growth in aviation and government satcom was more than offset by declines in FS&O and maritime services. Q2 FY2025 backlog of $2.8 billion decreased 2% YoY. Revenue In Q2 FY2025, Communication Services revenue decreased 2% YoY to $826 million. Service revenue increases of 17% and 6% YoY from aviation and government satcom, respectively, mostly offset a 25% YoY decrease in FS&O services and a 7% YoY decrease in maritime services as third-party companion offerings created incremental ARPU pressure on flattish FX vessel count. Mobility Ka-band service metrics continued to grow YoY and sequentially, ending the quarter with an aggregate of approximately 20,100 vessels and aircraft in service. Commercial and business aviation ended the quarter with approximately 3,820 and 1,920 aircraft in service, respectively. U.S. fixed broadband ended the quarter with approximately 228,000 subscribers and $115 average revenue per user. Adjusted EBITDA Communication Services Q2 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA declined 9% YoY to $318 million as a result of lower incremental revenue flow through from FS&O and maritime services as well as the effects of the prior year quarter benefit from the positive adjustment to the consideration paid for the acquisition of EBI. Excluding the EBI benefit, Adjusted EBITDA declined 4% YoY. This decline was partially offset by strong growth in aviation alongside lower R&D expenditures. Q2 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 38% was approximately 280 basis points lower compared to the prior year reflecting the prior year quarter benefit from the positive adjustment to the consideration paid for the acquisition of EBI and to a lesser extent a decline in gross margin from product revenues.

Defense and Advanced Technologies segment provides a diverse set of resilient, vertically integrated solutions, leveraging core technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms, to government and commercial customers AWARDS, REVENUE AND ADJ. EBITDA1 $ in millions Note: all legacy Inmarsat businesses are included in Communication Service segment PRODUCT REVENUE MIX $ in millions Note: all legacy Inmarsat businesses are included in Communication Service segment BACKLOG AND UNAWARDED IDIQ $ in millions Note: sole source unawarded IDIQ includes government satcom within Communication Service segment Defense and Advanced Technologies Segment Highlights Space and Mission Systems (SMS) secured a $33.6 million contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory under the Defense Experimentation Using Commercial Space Internet (DEUCSI) program to develop Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) systems for tactical aircraft communications. The program supports resilient communications using commercial satellite connectivity across various frequencies and orbits SMS launched a Multi-Mission Orchestrator (MMO), an automated solution for managing and planning satellite constellations. The MMO optimizes scheduling and secure data transport, supporting complex LEO constellations. MMO’s algorithms can operate both on the ground and in space, supporting resilient and efficient satellite missions Tactical Networking (TN) received a five-year, $153 million dollar contract to support the U.S. Army’s Blue Force Tracker (BFT) program by providing network services, technical support, and engineering expertise to modernize the BFT network, enhancing situational awareness and data sharing capabilities. Viasat has a long history with the BFT program, providing high-speed, high-capacity equipment and networking services for over 20 years. This continued partnership aims to improve real-time decision-making and operational efficiency for military forces TN introduced Secure Wireless Hub (SWH), a wearable tactical gateway solution for dismounted soldiers. The SWH solution was developed as part of a multi-phase effort with U.S. Special Operations Command to identify and develop advanced tactical communications capabilities for mobile ground forces Awards Defense and Advanced Technologies Q2 FY2025 awards more than doubled YoY to $510 million. The YoY growth was primarily driven by significant awards in information security and cyber defense products, space and mission systems solutions driven by antenna systems, and tactical networking products. Backlog was $921 million in Q2 FY2025, an increase of 19% YoY and 29% sequentially, and book-to-bill was 1.7. Revenue Q2 FY2025 Defense and Advanced Technologies revenue was $296 million, a 22% decrease YoY. Excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement, revenue grew 4% YoY driven largely by tactical networking products, which was partially offset by lower YoY product revenue in space and mission systems and advanced technologies and other (AT&O). Adjusted EBITDA In Q2 FY2025, Defense and Advanced Technologies Adjusted EBITDA declined 58% YoY to $57 million. Excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement, Adjusted EBITDA grew 13% YoY. Strong YoY operating performance across the segment portfolio from tactical networking, information security and cyber defense more than offset higher R&D expenditures. In addition, excluding the non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement, Q2 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded approximately 145 basis points compared to Q2 FY2024.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Liquidity OPERATING CASH FLOW $ in millions CAPITAL EXPENDITURE $ in millions NET DEBT & NET LEVERAGE RATIO 4 $ in billions (except net leverage) Operating Cash Flow Viasat generated $239 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, an increase of $20 million YoY and $88 million sequentially. The YoY increase primarily reflects decreased working capital offset by the non-recurring impact from the litigation settlement in Q2 FY2024. The sequential increase primarily reflects decreased working capital largely from an increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable. Capital Expenditure Capital expenditures declined for the fourth consecutive quarter. Q2 FY2025 capital expenditures declined 37% YoY to $229 million. Capital expenditures decreased YoY primarily due to lower satellite expenditures related to shifts to future quarters of certain space, ground infrastructure and other capex payments. The timing of spending on capital expenditures can be lumpy and we anticipate that any spending shortfall in the current fiscal year, will be incurred in the follow fiscal year. Net Debt, Net Leverage, and Liquidity We continue to make strides in managing our capital structure. During the quarter, we completed the refinancing of $1,975 million of the Inmarsat 2026 senior secured notes. We also repurchased $359 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes, consisting of $257 million of Viasat 2025 unsecured notes and the remaining $102 million of Inmarsat 2026 senior secured notes. Viasat ended Q2 FY2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $3.53 billion, which included $1.97 billion that was used to redeem the Inmarsat 2026 senior secured notes subsequent to quarter end. Excluding the amount paid to redeem the Inmarsat 2026 senior secured notes, Viasat ended the quarter with $2.69 billion in available liquidity which consisted of $1.55 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.14 billion of borrowing ability under our two undrawn revolving credit facilities. Net debt declined to $5.53 billion and our net leverage ratio increased sequentially to 3.6x LTM Adjusted EBITDA as the LTM Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 FY2025 benefitted from the prior year Q2 FY2024 $86 million non-recurring contribution from the litigation settlement. Shareholder Letter | Q2 Fiscal Year 2025 5

Outlook We are halfway through fiscal year 2025 and are maintaining our outlook, reflecting solid first half results in our Aviation and Defense orderbooks, confidence in our competitive position within our markets, our backlog and record quarterly awards, despite headwinds from OEM related delays of aircraft deliveries, including the impact of the Boeing strike. › For FY2025 we continue to expect flat to slightly up YoY revenue growth excluding the one-time catch-up benefits from the litigation settlement of $95 million in Q2 FY2024 – compared to FY2024 Combined revenue of $4.5 billion. › Communication Services Combined revenue is expected to be down low-single digits in FY2025 compared to FY2024 reflecting strong growth in aviation services and government satcom services that we expect will be more than offset by declines in U.S. fixed broadband and, to a lesser extent, maritime revenues. › DAT YoY revenue growth in FY2025 is expected to increase in the mid-teens, driven primarily by tactical networking products, antenna systems solutions, recurring contributions from certain licensing agreements, and strong demand for high-speed Type 1 encryptors fueled by cloud data center geographic expansion and support for AI applications. Revenue visibility for FY2025 is supported by backlog of over $900 million as of September 30, 2024. › For FY2025 we continue to expect mid-single-digit YoY Adjusted EBITDA growth excluding the one-time benefits from the litigation settlement of $86 million in Q2 FY2024, off a reference base of FY2024 Combined Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion. The Combined Adjusted EBITDA growth is expected to be driven by strong revenue flow through from DAT licensing agreements and Communication Services. › We continue to expect net leverage to increase modestly by the end of FY2025 given the prior fiscal year benefit from accelerated insurance payments. › In FY2025 we expect capital expenditures to decline to a range of $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion (which includes approximately $400 million for Inmarsat-related capital expenditures). The FY2025 range excludes the benefit from insurance recoveries and includes capitalized interest in our capex guidance, which is approximately $200 million per year (but which we expect will decline in future years, as we place satellites into service). › Looking ahead to FY2026, we continue to expect YoY revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth – and our two-year cumulative capex number is expected to remain net neutral which indicates ultimately the same for cash through FY2026. We expect to continue to successfully compete in our markets and earn our share of business. Our record YoY awards growth is reflective of our ability to compete and win. As we continue to launch our multi-orbit offerings with ViaSat-3 capabilities in the near future, we expect our competitive position to strengthen further. We are focused on improving operational and capital productivity and strengthening our capital structure. We believe that the key to progress on multiple fronts is building the bridges to the opportunities in front of us to create value for our employees, customers, and shareholders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information To supplement Viasat’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Viasat uses non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures Viasat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Viasat’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to Viasat’s historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables below. In addition, to assist investors in evaluating Viasat’s historical and comparative financial performance to prior and future periods, Viasat is providing unaudited supplemental adjusted combined (referred to in this letter as “Combined”) financial information that shows, for illustrative purposes only, certain financial information of Viasat for fiscal year 2024 on an adjusted combined basis. This supplemental information has been prepared by combining Viasat’s results of operations for fiscal year 2024 with the results of operations of Connect Topco Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, Inmarsat) for the period prior to the closing of the Inmarsat acquisition on May 30, 2023, together with certain adjustments and reclassifications to reflect purchase price accounting, to conform Inmarsat’s results of operations (which are reported in accordance with IFRS) to GAAP, and to conform to the presentation of Viasat’s historical financial information. This Combined financial information is unaudited, does not include pro forma adjustments to reflect the Inmarsat acquisition and related transactions, and does not purport to be indicative of what the combined company’s results of operations would have been if the Inmarsat acquisition and related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, the adjustments to arrive to the Combined financial information do not reflect non-recurring charges incurred in connection with the Inmarsat acquisition (other than to the extent already reflected in actual historical results), nor any cost savings and synergies that have resulted and are expected to result from the Inmarsat acquisition (and associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies), nor any costs associated with severance, restructuring or integration activities resulting from the Inmarsat acquisition. The presentation of this Combined financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP or (in the case of Inmarsat) IFRS. A reconciliation of the historical reported IFRS Adjusted EBITDA of Connect Bidco Limited (which is not materially different from Inmarsat’s Adjusted EBITDA), before giving effect to conforming changes to reflect Viasat’s Adjusted EBITDA presentation, to IFRS profit (loss) of Connect Bidco Limited, as well as the adjustments made to derive the Combined financial information, are provided in the Supplemental Information section of Viasat’s Investor Relations site (investors.viasat.com).

⁽¹⁾ Attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders.

⁽²⁾ As the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 financial information resulted in a net loss, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as diluted shares would be anti-dilutive. However, as the non-GAAP financial information for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and for three and six months ended September 30, 2023 resulted in non-GAAP net income, 128.9 million, 125.6 million and 110.3 million, respectively, diluted weighted average number of shares were used instead to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

⁽³⁾ Awards exclude future revenue under recurring consumer commitment arrangements.

⁽⁴⁾  Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments. Our backlog includes contracts with subscribers for fixed broadband services in our Communication Services segment. Backlog does not include anticipated purchase orders and requests for the installation of in-flight connectivity systems or future recurring in flight internet service revenues under our commercial in-flight internet agreements in our Communication Services segment.

⁽⁵⁾  Before corporate and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

* Percentage not meaningful.

Note: Some totals may not foot due to rounding.
