SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $67.1 million, which was comprised of $63.2 million of service revenue and $3.9 million of revenue generated from subscriber equipment sales. Total revenue increased 11% from the prior year's second quarter due primarily to an increase in wholesale capacity services revenue and higher Commercial IoT subscribers and device sales.

Service revenue increased $5.6 million, or 10%, compared to the prior year's second quarter due primarily to revenue generated from wholesale capacity services, which increased $8.3 million during the period. The majority of the increase during the second quarter of 2025 related to the timing of service fees associated with the reimbursement of network-related costs.

For subscriber driven service revenue, Commercial IoT service revenue increased 5% from the prior year's second quarter due to an increase in the average number of subscribers. Gross subscriber activations have increased on a consecutive quarter basis as well as on a last twelve month basis, reaching the highest gross activations over this period in the Company's history. The growth in our IoT subscriber base evidences the continued customer interest in our Commercial IoT devices and service offerings. We also expect activations to increase following sales of our two-way reference design module. Offsetting the increase in Commercial IoT service revenue was a decrease in Duplex and SPOT service revenue due to subscriber churn over the last twelve months.

We also experienced an increase in revenue from subscriber equipment sales from a higher volume of both Commercial IoT and SPOT device sales during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year's second quarter.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Income from operations was $6.1 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to a loss from operations of $1.4 million during the prior year's second quarter. This improvement was due to higher revenue (as discussed above) and lower operating expenses.

Lower operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year's second quarter were related to lower stock-based compensation and marketing, general and administrative ("MG&A") expenses. These decreases were offset partially by higher cost of services and cost of subscriber equipment sales (consistent with the increase in equipment sales revenue).

Operating expenses for the quarter were favorably impacted by our receipt of an employee retention credit in May 2025 as a result of our eligibility under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The total refund of $1.9 million reduced operating expenses during the second quarter of 2025.

Higher cost of services compared to the prior year's second 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 over time, and this consideration is recognized as revenue. Additionally, higher personnel costs to support product development and other growth opportunities also contributed to the increase in cost of services during the second quarter.

MG&A expense was lower than the prior year's second quarter due to the CARES Act credit received during the second quarter of 2025.

Net Income (Loss)

2

Net income was $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net loss of $9.7 million for the prior year's second quarter. This improvement was due primarily to higher revenue (discussed above), lower operating expenses (discussed above), a non-cash gain on the quarterly mark-to-market adjustment of our derivative asset as well as favorable fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses due to the remeasurement of intercompany balances. Higher interest expense resulting from non-cash imputed interest on the 2024 prepayment agreement partially offset these favorable items.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $35.8 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $32.6 million during the prior year's second quarter. Higher revenue was offset partially by an increase in operating expenses (excluding adjustments for non-cash or non-recurring items).

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. Comparing the second quarter of 2025 to the prior year's second quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by these costs (net of revenue) by $1.9 million. 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 six months of 2025, total revenue of $127.2 million was comprised of $120.3 million in service revenue and $6.9 million in revenue from subscriber equipment sales. This 9% 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.

Consistent with the quarterly increase discussed above, service revenue for the first six months of 2025 increased $9.2 million, or 8%, due primarily to higher wholesale capacity services, which have expanded over this period.

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

A higher volume of Commercial IoT device sales increased revenue generated by subscriber equipment sales by 39% compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting strong sales of our one-way modules to date in 2025.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations was $2.4 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to a loss of $6.1 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 were driven by higher cost of services and cost of subscriber equipment sales (consistent 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.

Higher cost of services for the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 resulted primarily from costs incurred to enhance and develop our XCOM RAN product and service offerings as well as other ancillary costs associated with XCOM technology development, including certain non-cash amortized costs beginning in May 2024. Additionally, subscriber product development costs increased in line with progress made on our two-way Commercial IoT module and next-generation SPOT device. Cost of services was also impacted by higher network operating costs to support our new and upgraded global ground infrastructure.

3

Operating expenses were favorably impacted by employee retention credits received in 2025 as a result of our eligibility under the provisions of the CARES Act for 2021. The total credits of $3.9 million reduced operating expenses during the first six 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 $1.9 million for the first six months of 2025, compared to a net loss of $22.9 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 favorable fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses 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 non-cash imputed interest on the 2024 prepayment agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $66.1 million during the first six months of 2025, compared to $62.2 million during the same period in 2024. Higher revenue was offset partially by an increase in operating expenses (excluding adjustments for non-cash or non-recurring items).

As discussed above, comparing the first six months of 2025 to the same period in 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was unfavorably impacted by the costs (net of revenue) associated with the development of XCOM RAN product and service offerings by $3.2 million.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2025, we held cash and cash equivalents of $308.2 million, compared to $391.2 million as of December 31, 2024. During the first six months of 2025, net cash flows generated from operations were $209.7 million, capital expenditures were $271.8 million and net cash flows used in financing activities were $22.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents were also positively impacted by a $1.1 million effect of exchange rate changes. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of 2025 was due primarily to capital expenditures associated with our commitments under the Updated Services Agreements, offset partially by funding of $124.7 million received in connection with the Infrastructure Prepayment (as described further 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 construction and launch costs. Financing activities relate primarily to recoupment of the 2021 Funding Agreement by our largest customer and preferred stock dividend payments.

Adjusted free cash flow during the first six months of 2025 was $77.9 million compared to $51.9 million during the same period in 2024. This increase includes $30.0 million in accelerated service payments received during the first six months of 2025 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 $400.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $417.5 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease was due to our scheduled recoupments of $17.3 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%

4

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