PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2026-- Regulatory News:

The Board of Directors of Eutelsat Communications (ISIN: FR0010221234 ‑ Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL), chaired by Éric Labaye, reviewed the financial results for the Half Year ended 31 December 2025.

Total revenues for H1 2025-26 stood at €592 million, down 2.4% on a reported basis and stable like‑for‑like. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals (excluding ‘Other Revenues’) stood at €574 million, down by 0.6% on a like-for-like basis. LEO revenues amounted to €111 million, up 59.7%¹, and now represent c. 20% of revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA stood at €308 million on 31 December 2025, down 6.1% on a like for like basis. The Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 52.1%, down 3.4 points like-for-like. It reflects the impact of sanction‑related loss of Video revenues, as well as the effect of product mix within LEO revenues during the ramp-up stage.

Jean-François Fallacher, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communicationscommented: “The first half of FY 2025-26 marked a decisive step forward for Eutelsat. We significantly strengthened our financial foundations through the successful execution of our refinancing plan, supported by our shareholders, rating agencies, and institutional partners. At the same time, we secured the long-term operational continuity and technological evolution of our LEO constellation, reinforcing our ability to serve customers with greater performance and flexibility. With financing secured and our growth strategy clearly on track, we are entering the next phase with confidence, focused on unlocking the full potential of our LEO business and delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders.”

ANALYSIS OF REVENUES³

Total revenues for the First Half of 2025-26 stood at €591.6 million, stable on a like-for-like basis and down by 2.4% on a reported basis. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals (ie, excluding ‘Other Revenues’) stood at €573.8 million. They were down by 0.6% on a like-for-like basis, excluding a €22 million negative currency impact.

Second Quarter revenues stood at €298 million, stable year-on-year on a like-for-like basis. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals stood at €291 million, at the same level as Q2 FY25 (-0.1%). On a quarter‑on‑quarter basis they were up by 2.9%.

Video (46% of revenues)

First Half Video revenues were down by 12.3% to €267 million. They reflected the impact of further sanctions imposed on Russian channels, amounting to c. €16m annualized for FY 2025-26, coming on top of the underlying trend in this mature business.

Second Quarter revenues stood at €133 million down by 14.1% year-on-year, and broadly stable quarter‑on-quarter.

On the commercial front, Eutelsat announced several renewals and extensions with long-standing partners, notably with beIN for the distribution of direct-to-home services across the MENA region, reaffirming the strategic value of Eutelsat’s 7/8° West video neighbourhood. In Europe, Eutelsat and Polsat Plus renewed a multi-year, multi-transponder contract at the flagship EUTELSAT HOTBIRD video neighbourhood.

Connectivity (54% of revenues)

All three Connectivity verticals recorded a rise in the First Half.

Total Connectivity revenues for the First Half of 2025-26 stood at €307 million, up by 11.8%. Within the mix, GEO revenues stood at €196.8m, a decline of 4.5%, which was more than offset by the strong ongoing momentum in LEO revenues, which rose 59.7% to €110.5m.

Second Quarter revenues stood at 157.9 million up by 15.0% year-on-year, and by 5.8% quarter‑on‑quarter. LEO revenues were up 50% at €56.4m, while GEO was stable at €101.5m.

Fixed Connectivity

First Half Fixed Connectivity revenues stood at €132 million, up by 17.2% year-on-year. They mainly reflected the continued growth of LEO-enabled connectivity solutions, as well as a one‑off impact, resulting from the upfront recognition of revenues relating to a capacity contract with a GEO customer, for an amount of c. €7m.

Second quarter revenues stood at €70 million, up 18.3% year-on-year.

On the commercial front, Eutelsat reinforced its presence in Africa, with a distribution agreement with Angola’s MSTelcom for LEO services for businesses located in hard-to-reach regions, as well as a new multi-million, multi-year agreement with Paratus for services across Southern Africa.

Government Services

First Half Government Services revenues stood at €99 million, up 7.7% year-on-year. They reflected the growth of LEO-enabled solutions, notably with services delivered in Ukraine, as well as increased demand from other governments.

Second Quarter revenues stood at €46 million, down by 2.2% year-on-year and by 11.7% quarter‑on‑quarter, mainly reflecting softer revenues in the U.S. as well as a lower terminal sales in Q2 than in Q1.

Key highlights of the past quarter include a partnership with Airtel to support the Indian Army’s relief operations with LEO connectivity in flood-impacted Sri Lanka.

Elsewhere, Eutelsat announced the launch of the first military-grade manpack terminal for its OneWeb network, developed in partnership with Intellian Technologies. The terminal is now available to government and defense customers needing portable, resilient connectivity solutions.

Mobile Connectivity

First Half Mobile Connectivity revenues stood at €77 million, up 8.5% year-on-year, notably reflecting the activation of contracts with aero mobility customers. Eutelsat now has almost 600 certified antenna installations out of a backlog of over 1,500 aircraft, compared to 100 certified antenna and a backlog of 1,000 aircraft at the end of FY2024-25.

This impact was even more visible in the Second Quarter where revenues stood at €42 million, up 34.5% year-on-year and up by 21.1% quarter-on-quarter.

On the commercial front, Eutelsat inked a multi-year, multi-orbit partnership with CMA CGM Group and Marlink to integrate OneWeb into the connectivity solutions of CMA CGM’s global maritime fleet.

Elsewhere, Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO network will provide passenger Wi-Fi services on the Transgabon Railway in partnership with Airtel Gabon, reinforcing the Eutelsat-Airtel partnership and marking the start of an expanded collaboration on rail connectivity across Africa.

Other Revenues

Other Revenuesamounted to €18 million versus €6 million a year earlier. They reflected revenue recognition from IRIS² related to Eutelsat’s involvement as Consortium System Development Prime. They included also a €8 million positive impact from hedging operations compared with a €1 million positive impact a year earlier.

BACKLOG

The backlog stood at €3.4 billion on 31 December 2025 versus 3.7 billion a year earlier. It was equivalent to 2.7 times 2024-25 revenues, and Connectivity represented 59% of the total, versus 56% a year ago.

The evolution of the backlog reflects the increasing weight of LEO business in the mix. As a reminder, contracts in the LEO business tend to be shorter than in the legacy GEO applications. Moreover, only the secured elements of the ‘take-or-pay’ contracts are recognised, while ‘pay-as-you-go’ contracts are not reflected.

Note: The backlog represents future revenues from capacity or service agreements and can include contracts for satellites under procurement. Managed services are not included in the backlog.

PROFITABILITY

Adjusted EBITDA stood at €308.2 million for the Half-Year ended 31 December 2025 compared with €334.9 million a year earlier, down by 8.0%. It was down 6.1% on a like for like basis.

Operating costsstood at €283 million, up by €12.1 million. They reflected an increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by the re-evaluation of share-based compensation schemes.

The Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 52.1% versus 55.2% a year earlier, down 3.2 points on a reported basis and by 3.4 points⁴ like-for-like. It reflected the impact of sanction-related losses of Video revenues, as well as the effect of product mix within LEO revenues during the ramp-up stage.

Net result, group share amounted to a loss of €236.5 million versus a loss of €873.2 million a year earlier. This reflected:

• ‘Other operating expenses’ of €69.6 million, compared to €690.8 million last year. As a reminder, First Half 2024-25 included goodwill and satellite impairments totalling €650 million.
• Lower D&A of €356.7 million versus €433.7 million a year earlier reflecting notably the end of the amortisation of certain intangible assets, the positive effect from the securing of operational continuity of the LEO constellation following the procurement of an additional 340 satellites, as well as a favourable currency impact.
• Net financial costs of €95.0 million versus €99.1 million a year earlier, notably reflecting lower interest following the full repayment of the 2025 bond.
• Corporate tax of €21.3 million versus €7.6 million a year earlier, implying an effective tax rate of 10%.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Gross Capex amounted to €291.5 million, compared with €174.8 million a year earlier. This reflects the timing of key milestones in LEO investment programs. It should not be extrapolated for the year since most of the investments will be deployed in the Second Half.

Nevertheless, because of the phasing of LEO programs, as well as increased vigilance on GEO spend, capex for the full year is now expected at around €900 million (vs €1.0 to €1.1 billion previously).

Going forward, capex will remain focused on LEO activities, in line with the Group’s strategic vision, primarily for the Gen-1 follow-on program.

In this context, the group has cancelled the procurement of the so-called ‘Flexsat Americas’, following a review of the business case, resulting in future capex savings of over €100 million euros.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

On 31 December 2025, net debt stood at €1,300.9 million, down €1,325.7 million versus end of June 2025, mainly reflecting the net proceeds from the capital increase of €1,475.8 million.

As a result, the net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio stood at 2.00 times, compared to 3.88 times at end‑June 2025 and 3.92 times at end-December 2024.

The average cost of debt after hedging stood at 4.17% (4.84% in H1 2024-25). The weighted average maturity of the Group’s debt amounted to 2.3 years, compared to 3.0 years at end-December 2024.

Undrawn credit lines and cash stood around €2.1 billion.

OUTLOOK

The First Half of 2025-26 has been a crucial semester for Eutelsat, most notably with the successful execution of the foundations of its refinancing plan, first with the success of the €1.5bn capital raise, fully supported by core shareholders, and followed by credit rating upgrades from Moody’s (up two notches to Ba3) and Fitch (up three notches to BB with Stable outlook). Subsequently Eutelsat obtained almost €1bn in Export Credit Agency financing.

Eutelsat intends to build on these strongly improved financial fundamentals to undertake the refinancing of its bonds to complete its strategic refinancing plan.

In parallel, Eutelsat took steps to secure the operational continuity of its LEO constellation, with the procurement of 340 OneWeb satellites on top of the previous order of 100, bringing the total number of new satellites to 440. The availability of these latest satellites will assure full operational continuity for customers of the constellation, progressively replacing early batches coming to end of life.

Furthermore, Eutelsat expanded its options for access to space, signing a multi-launch agreement for the future launch of LEO satellites starting in 2027 with France’s MaiaSpace.

With both its financing secured, and operational continuity assured, Eutelsat can look forward with confidence as it focuses on its growth strategy, based on the development of its LEO business.

FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES

The First Half performance was in line with expectations, enabling us to confirm our FY 2025-26 objectives:

• Combined Revenues of the four operating verticals in line with the level for FY 2024‑25.
  • With LEO revenues to grow by 50% year-on-year.
• An Adjusted EBITDA margin expected slightly below the level of FY 2024-25.
• Gross capital expenditure in FY 2025-26 initially expected in a range of €1.0-1.1 billion euros, now expected around €900 million.

Following the successful completion of the €1.5 billion capital increases in December 2025, Net Debt/EBITDA is estimated at c.2.7x⁵ by year-end FY’2025-26, reflecting a robust and self-funded financing structure.

Looking further out. Eutelsat demonstrates some of the most attractive growth and profitability prospects in the sector, with revenue expected in a range between €1.5 and €1.7 billion⁶ by the end of FY 2028-29, supported by the strong momentum of LEO revenues, which are significantly outperforming the market.

Operating leverage is expected to drive a mid-to-high single-digit percentage point improvement in the EBITDA margin, resulting in a margin of at least 65%⁵ by FY’2028-29.

In the longer term (post FY 2028-29), the B2B connectivity market is expected to pursue its growth at a double-digit rate, driven by LEO market expansion.

POST CLOSE EVENT

Non-completion of the transaction to dispose of Eutelsat’s passive ground segment infrastructure assets

On 29th January 2026, Eutelsat announced that the transaction for the disposal of its passive ground segment infrastructure assets to private equity investor, EQT Infrastructure VI, will not proceed, as all conditions precedent have not been satisfied.

The net proceeds attributable to Eutelsat from the transaction would have been in the region of €550m, while the negative annualized impact on adjusted EBITDA associated with the service agreement entered into with the prospective buyer amounted to €75-80m.

The non-completion of the transaction has no impact on Financial Objectives for FY 2025-26, except for Net Debt to EBITDA which is now expected to stand at around 2.7 times at the end of the Financial Year (versus 2.5 times previously). The EBITDA margin for FY 2028-29 is now expected in the region of 65% (versus c.60% previously).

The non-completion of the transaction does not affect Eutelsat’s ability to fund the capital expenditure related to its strategic growth trajectory.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Governance

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Eutelsat Communications was held on 20 November 2025, in Paris. All the resolutions were approved. They included notably:

• Approval of the annual and consolidated financial statements.
• Approval of regulated agreements concluded during the year, including subscription commitments with the French State, Bharti Space Limited, the UK Government, CMA CGM Participations, and the Fonds Stratégique de Participations, as well as the termination and conclusion of a new shareholders’ agreement.
• Renewal of the mandates of Bharti Space Limited (represented by Akhil Gupta), Florence Parly and Éric Labaye as Directors.
• Approval of the remuneration of corporate officers and the remuneration policy.
• Authorization granted to the Board of Directors to acquire the Company’s shares and, where appropriate, cancel them.

On 21st November 2025, pursuant to the completion the reserved capital increase, Jean-Baptiste Massignon and Jérémie Gué, appointed at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 September 2025, took office as Directors of the Company.

The renewed Board composed of 12 members, with 5 female members and 50% independent members is now completed and already working on supporting the company on its strategic path.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Eutelsat continues to advance its four CSR pillars: responsible use of space, bridging the communication divide, managing environmental impact on Earth and in space, and social empowerment.

Eutelsat and Unconnected.org, a non-profit organisation focused on addressing digital inequality, have entered into a partnership to expand access to community Wi-Fi across Africa using Eutelsat’s Konnect satellite services. The partnership will launch in Tanzania, where Unconnected.org will work with local Internet Service Providers (ISPs), NGOs and government stakeholders to deliver affordable, sustainable broadband in hard-to-reach areas. The initiative will also lay the groundwork for expansion into additional African countries, as the two organisations collaborate to extend digital access across the continent. The collaboration builds on Eutelsat’s ongoing commitment to digital inclusion. At the beginning of 2025, Eutelsat reached a major milestone by connecting one million people in Sub-Saharan Africa to satellite internet—two years ahead of its initial target—fulfilling its pledge under the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Elsewhere, Eutelsat continued to implement responsible operating practices across its GEO and LEO activities. The Group contributed to the EU Space Act public consultation through the submission of a formal response and continued to monitor regulatory developments via its internal Space Sustainability Taskforce. Engagement with the scientific community was strengthened through participation in the Dark & Quiet Skies ESA study launched in September 2025, a dedicated astronomy workshop in November at Eutelsat’s headquarters, and the UNOOSA/SKA Observatory workshop at the United Nations Office in Vienna in December.

Following the validation of its emissions reduction objectives, covering Scopes 1, 2 & 3, by the SBTi Eutelsat has continued its program of emission reduction initiatives during FY26 H1 and is on target for delivering by 2030 of an absolute reduction of 50% of Scope 1 & 2 and an intensity reduction of Scope 3 emissions of 52%, both by 2030 against the baseline year of 2021.

Appendix 4: Alternative performance indicators

In addition to the data published in its accounts, the Group communicates on three alternative performance indicators which it deems relevant for measuring its financial performance: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio and Gross Capex. These indicators are the object of reconciliation with the consolidated accounts.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio

Adjusted EBITDA reflects the profitability of the Group before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation, impairment of assets and other operating income and expenses. It is a frequently used indicator in the Fixed Satellite Services Sector and more generally the Telecom industry. The table below shows the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA based on the consolidated P&L accounts for H1 2024-25 and H1 2025-26:

The Adjusted EBITDA margin is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues. It is calculated as follows:

The Net debt / adjusted EBITDA ratio is the ratio of net debt to last-twelve months adjusted EBITDA. It is calculated as follows:

Gross Capex

Gross Capex covers the acquisition of satellites and other tangible or intangible assets as well as payments related to lease liabilities. If applicable it is net from the amount of insurance proceeds.

The table below shows the calculation of Gross Capex for H1 2024-25 and H1 2025-26:
