Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSAT) ("Globalstar" or the "Company") announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and reiterated its financial guidance for the year, with revenue expected to be in the range of $260 million to $285 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to be approximately 50%.

"We are pleased with the significant progress we have made in the third quarter," said Globalstar CEO, Dr. Paul E. Jacobs. "Our strong financial results reflect the team's successful execution of our business plan and product roadmap, from expanding our global ground infrastructure and progressing our next-generation C-3 satellite system, to launching our two-way Commercial IoT device on a global basis and advancing XCOM RAN sales through completion of a new supply agreement and receipt of an initial order from a new warehouse automation customer. We believe these milestones reflect the trust of our partners, the strength of our products and technologies, and the growing demand for Globalstar's satellite and terrestrial connectivity solutions. As our pace of focused innovation accelerates on the ground, in the sky and in space, we are attracting new partners and expanding our opportunities with existing ones."

Dr. Jacobs continued, "This is an exciting time to be in the satellite connectivity industry, and our globally harmonized spectrum offers enormous potential. Recent sales of assets with less global coverage indicated values that reflect very well on Globalstar's assets. New innovations in the satellite industry and across the telecommunications ecosystem, coupled with our unique global spectrum bands, can drive disruptive service models that will benefit customers, enterprises and governments worldwide."

RECENT OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $73.8 million, including $69.6 million of service revenue and $4.2 million of revenue generated from subscriber equipment sales.

Service revenue increased $0.7 million compared to the prior year's third quarter due primarily to higher wholesale capacity services revenue resulting from additional service fees associated with the reimbursement of network-related costs. Commercial IoT service revenue also increased from the prior year's third quarter due to a higher number of subscribers. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in Duplex and SPOT service revenue due to subscriber churn over the last twelve months.

Revenue from subscriber equipment sales benefited from a higher volume of Commercial IoT device sales, which increased Commercial IoT equipment revenue by 60% during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year's third quarter. We expect the recently announced commercial availability of RM200M, our two-way module, to drive additional demand.

Income from Operations

Income from operations was $10.2 million during the third quarter of 2025, compared to $9.4 million during the prior year's third quarter.

During the third quarter of 2025, cost of services, marketing, general and administrative ("MG&A") expenses and cost of subscriber equipment sales (commensurate with the increase in equipment sales revenue) increased, offset partially by lower stock-based compensation expenses.

Higher cost of services compared to the prior year's third quarter resulted primarily from network operating costs to support our new and upgraded global ground infrastructure. A significant portion of these costs are reimbursed to us, and this consideration is recognized as revenue. Additionally, higher costs to support XCOM as well as personnel costs to support product development and other growth opportunities also contributed to the increase in cost of services during the third quarter. MG&A expense was higher than the prior year's third quarter due primarily to higher personnel costs.

Net Income

Net income was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $9.9 million for the prior year's third quarter. This decrease was due primarily to non-cash items, including higher interest expense resulting from our recognition of non-cash imputed interest related to the 2024 Prepayment Agreement (as defined in our periodic reports) as well as net foreign currency losses due to the remeasurement of intercompany balances. A non-cash gain on the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment of our derivative asset partially offset these unfavorable items.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $37.6 million during the third quarter of 2025 compared to $42.8 million during the prior year's third quarter. Higher revenue was offset by an increase in operating expenses (excluding adjustments for non-cash or non-recurring items) due to investment in growth opportunities. Specifically, while we continue to enhance and develop our XCOM RAN product and service offerings, we incur costs, primarily for personnel, in advance of significant revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information, refer to "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA."

YEAR TO DATE FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

During the first nine months of 2025, total revenue was $201.0 million, including $189.9 million in service revenue and $11.1 million in revenue from subscriber equipment sales. This 6% increase in total revenue compared to the same period in 2024 was due primarily to an increase in wholesale capacity services revenue and higher Commercial IoT subscribers and device sales.

Similar to the quarterly increase discussed above, service revenue for the first nine months of 2025 increased $9.9 million, or 6%, due primarily to higher wholesale capacity services, which have expanded over this period and also due to the timing of service fees associated with the reimbursement of network-related costs.

Higher Commercial IoT subscribers also contributed to the increase in service revenue for the first nine months of 2025, generating a 4% increase in Commercial IoT service revenue and a 47% increase in revenue from device sales. Fewer SPOT and Duplex subscribers partially offset the increase in service revenue.

Income from Operations

Income from operations was $7.8 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. This improvement was due to higher revenue (as discussed above), offset partially by higher operating expenses.

The increase in operating expenses compared to the same period in 2024 was driven by higher cost of services, MG&A and cost of subscriber equipment sales (commensurate with the increase in equipment sales revenue), as well as a loss on disposal of assets during the first quarter of 2025. These items were offset partially by lower stock-based compensation.

The drivers of higher cost of services and MG&A expense for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 are generally consistent with the quarterly increases noted above. Costs incurred to enhance and develop our XCOM RAN product and service offerings were also impacted by our recognition of certain non-cash amortized costs beginning in May 2024. Additionally, subscriber product development costs increased in line with progress made on the RM200M and a next-generation SPOT device.

Operating expenses were favorably impacted by employee retention credits received in the first and second quarters of 2025 as a result of our eligibility under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") for 2021. The total credits of $3.9 million reduced operating expenses during the first nine months of 2025, of which $2.7 million was allocated to cost of services and $1.2 million was allocated to MG&A expense, based on the employee costs incurred during the eligible period.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million for the same period in 2024. This improvement was due primarily to higher revenue (discussed above), a non-cash gain on the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment of our derivative asset as well as net foreign currency gains due to the remeasurement of intercompany balances. These favorable items were offset partially by higher operating expenses (discussed above) as well as higher interest expense resulting from our recognition of non-cash imputed interest related to the 2024 Prepayment Agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $103.7 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared to $105.0 million during the same period in 2024. Higher revenue was offset by an increase in operating expenses (excluding adjustments for non-cash or non-recurring items) due to investment in growth opportunities, including the development of XCOM RAN product and service offerings.

For more information, refer below to "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA."

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2025, we held cash and cash equivalents of $346.3 million, compared to $391.2 million as of December 31, 2024. During the first nine months of 2025, net cash flows generated from operations were $445.8 million, capital expenditures were $485.9 million and net cash flows used in financing activities were $6.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents were also positively impacted by a $1.3 million effect of exchange rate changes. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first nine months of 2025 was due primarily to capital expenditures associated with our commitments under the Updated Services Agreements (as defined in our periodic reports), offset partially by funding of $299.6 million received in connection with the Infrastructure Prepayment (as defined in our periodic reports) as well as proceeds of $27.1 million pursuant to the 2023 Funding Agreement (as defined in our periodic reports).

Operating cash flows include cash receipts from our customers for the performance of wholesale capacity services and the sale of satellite voice and data equipment and services. We use cash in operating activities primarily for network operating costs, personnel costs, inventory purchases and other general corporate expenditures. Investing outflows largely relate to network expansion and upgrades, including satellite and ground construction and satellite launch costs. Financing activities relate primarily to debt recoupment of the 2021 Funding Agreement by our largest customer and preferred stock dividend payments.

Adjusted free cash flow during the first nine months of 2025 was $133.3 million compared to $74.5 million during the same period in 2024. This increase includes $37.5 million in accelerated service payments received during 2025 as well as higher service payments received pursuant to the Updated Services Agreements. Refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow" for further details on the calculation of this metric.

The principal amount of our debt outstanding was $418.7 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $417.5 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was due to the issuance of $27.1 million of debt under the 2023 Funding Agreement in August 2025, which was largely offset by scheduled recoupments of $26.0 million under the 2021 Funding Agreement.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

We reiterate our financial outlook for 2025, as follows:

Total revenue between $260 million and $285 million
Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 50%

This guidance reflects our current expectations that the potential impacts from tariffs will be minimal.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion and derivative (gains)/losses. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash compensation expense, reduction in the value of assets, foreign exchange (gains)/losses, and certain other non-cash or non-recurring charges as applicable. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage the Company's business and to compare its results more closely to the results of its peers. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measurements, such as net loss. These terms, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measurement of its operating performance. The Company believes it best reflects changes across time in the Company's performance, including the effects of pricing, cost control and other operational decisions. The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA also is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries. As indicated, Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense on borrowed money or depreciation expense on our capital assets or the payment of income taxes, which are necessary elements of the Company's operations. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not account for these expenses, its utility as a measure of the Company's operating performance has material limitations. Because of these limitations, the Company's management does not view Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measurements, such as revenues and operating profit, to measure operating performance.

In connection with the License Agreement with XCOM, the Company entered into a Support Services Agreement (the "SSA"). Fees payable by Globalstar pursuant to the SSA were paid in shares of its common stock prior to its termination in 2025. Costs also include the initial non-cash intangible asset technology amortization associated with the initial purchase of certain intangible assets made in the form of Globalstar common stock.
