Insights

Iridium's second-quarter 2024 results show a significant turnaround from last year's loss, which will likely attract investor attention. The net income of $32.3 million compared to a net loss of $30.7 million in the prior year is noteworthy. This turnaround is partly due to reduced depreciation expenses linked to the extension of the useful lives of satellites. Additionally, the overall revenue growth of 4% indicates steady progress, with a noticeable 5% growth in service revenue driven by a rise in subscribers. The company's ability to maintain a stable OEBITDA, despite a minor 2% decline, points to strong operational efficiency. Investors should also note the company's aggressive capital return strategy, including share repurchases and dividend hikes, which reflects confidence in financial health. However, the notable debt level of $1.6 billion and reliance on debt to finance share repurchases may be a point of concern, indicating a need for careful monitoring of leverage ratios.

Iridium's operational performance underscores its strong position in the satellite communications sector. The company's subscriber growth, especially in commercial IoT, highlights its expanding footprint in critical markets like maritime, aviation and emergency services. The 20% increase in IoT data revenue shows a robust demand for Iridium's services in consumer personal communications. The reduction in broadband ARPU, however, suggests that customers might be using Iridium's services as complementary rather than primary solutions, which could impact future revenue streams. Additionally, the ongoing work with the U.S. government, as seen in the increased engineering and support revenue, is a strategic advantage, ensuring a steady revenue flow. The technology and service diversification put Iridium in a favorable position to leverage emerging opportunities in satellite communications.

For retail investors, Iridium's latest financials paint a mixed picture. The $96.6 million share repurchase and increased dividends are positive signs, indicating strong cash flow and commitment to shareholder value. The growth in total billable subscribers, especially a 13% year-over-year increase, reassures investors about the company's market penetration and customer retention. However, the dip in equipment revenue by 17% and the nuanced performance in different segments like commercial broadband and hosted payloads raise questions about future revenue consistency. Investors should keep an eye on how Iridium manages its high debt levels and the impact of its aggressive financial strategies on long-term sustainability. The reiterated full-year outlook and updated leverage guidance provide clarity, but also signal cautious optimism. Overall, while the short-term prospects look promising, the long-term stability will depend on strategic execution and market dynamics.

MCLEAN, Va., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:IRDM) ("Iridium"), a leading provider of global voice and data satellite communications, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and reiterated its full-year 2024 outlook. Net income was $32.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to net loss of $30.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Operational EBITDA ("OEBITDA")⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter was $114.0 million, as compared to $115.8 million for the prior-year period, representing a year-over-year decrease of 2%. Net income primarily benefitted from a year-over-year decrease in depreciation expense associated with the extension of the estimated useful lives of the Company's satellites and the prior year write-off of the Company's remaining ground spare.

Iridium reported second-quarter total revenue of $201.1 million, which consisted of $152.5 million of service revenue and $48.6 million of revenue related to equipment sales and engineering and support projects. Service revenue, which represents primarily recurring revenue from Iridium's growing subscriber base, grew 5% from the year-ago period and was 76% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2024. Total revenue increased 4% versus the comparable period of 2023, largely due to higher commercial service revenue and higher government engineering revenue.

The Company ended the quarter with 2,413,000 total billable subscribers, which compares to 2,140,000 for the year-ago period and is up from 2,333,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Total billable subscribers grew 13% year-over-year, led by growth in commercial IoT.

"Iridium's strong capital position continues to support our return of capital to shareholders. During the quarter, we repurchased three percent of our shares and increased our quarterly dividend to common shareholders," said Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium. Desch added, "We plan to continue being aggressive with our shareholder-friendly activities in 2024, based on current market valuations."

Iridium Business Highlights

Service – Commercial

Commercial service remained the largest part of Iridium's business, representing 63% of the Company's total revenue during the second quarter. The Company's commercial customer base is diverse and includes markets such as maritime, aviation, oil and gas, mining, recreation, forestry, construction, transportation and emergency services. These customers rely on Iridium's products and services as critical to their daily operations and integral to their communications and business infrastructure.

Commercial service revenue was $126.0 million, up 6% from last year's comparable period primarily due to continued growth in IoT data and voice and data services.
- Commercial voice and data: Revenue was $56.5 million, up 3% from the year-ago period. Subscribers grew 3% from the year-ago period to 417,000. Average revenue per user ("ARPU") was $46 during the second quarter, consistent with the prior-year period.
- Commercial IoT data: Revenue was $41.6 million, up 20% from the year-ago period. Subscribers grew 16% from the year-ago period to 1,837,000 customers, driven by continued growth in consumer personal communications devices. ARPU was $7.70 in the second quarter, compared to $7.48 in last year's comparable period. The increase in ARPU resulted primarily from a new contract with a large customer.
- Commercial broadband: Revenue was $13.5 million, down 4% from $14.0 million in the year-ago period due to a decrease in ARPU offset in part by subscriber growth. ARPU was $269 during the second quarter, compared to $296 in last year's comparable period, reflecting the increased prevalence of Iridium's use as a companion service rather than primary.
- Hosted payload and other data service: Revenue was $14.4 million, down 4% from $15.1 million in the year-ago period. As previously noted, there was a year-over-year decrease in hosted payload revenue related to the change in the estimated useful lives of Iridium's satellites that went into effect in the fourth quarter of 2023, offset in part by increases in other data service revenue.
Iridium's commercial business ended the quarter with 2,271,000 billable subscribers, which compares to 1,999,000 for the prior-year quarter and is up from 2,188,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. IoT data subscribers represented 81% of billable commercial subscribers at the end of the quarter, an increase from 79% at the end of the corresponding prior-year period.

Service – U.S. Government

Iridium's voice and data solutions improve situational awareness for military personnel and track critical assets in tough environments around the globe, providing a unique value proposition that is not easily duplicated.

Under Iridium's Enhanced Mobile Satellite Services contract (the "EMSS Contract"), a seven-year, $738.5 million fixed-price airtime contract with the U.S. Space Force signed in September 2019, Iridium provides specified satellite airtime services, including unlimited global standard and secure voice, paging, fax, Short Burst Data^®, Iridium Burst^®, RUDICS and Distributed Tactical Communications System services for an unlimited number of Department of Defense and other federal government subscribers. Iridium also provides maintenance and support work for the U.S. government's dedicated Iridium^® gateway under two other contracts with the U.S. Space Force. Iridium Certus^® airtime services are not included under these contracts and may be procured separately for an additional fee.

Government service revenue remained flat at $26.5 million in the second quarter, reflecting the contractual rate in the EMSS Contract.
Iridium's U.S. government business ended the quarter with 142,000 subscribers, which compares to 141,000 for the prior-year quarter and 145,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We expect subscriber count to be variable due to the nature of this fixed-price contract. Government voice and data subscribers increased 5% from the year-ago period to 63,000 as of June 30, 2024. Government IoT data subscribers decreased 2% year-over-year and represented 56% of government subscribers at quarter-end.
Under the terms of the multi-year EMSS Contract, Iridium's fixed-price rate will increase to $107 million for the contract year beginning September 15, 2024.

Equipment

Equipment revenue was $22.8 million in the second quarter, down 17% compared to $27.4 million in the prior-year quarter.
In 2024, the Company expects equipment sales to be lower than 2023 and to be more in line with periods prior to 2022.

Engineering & Support

Engineering and support revenue was $25.8 million during the second quarter, up 25% compared to $20.6 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a rise in activity with the U.S. government.
In 2024, the Company expects engineering and support revenue to increase from 2023 with ongoing work on the Space Development Agency contract.

Capital expenditures were $12.4 million for the second quarter, including $1.2 million in capitalized interest. The Company ended the second quarter with gross Term Loan debt of $1.6 billion, $50.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $63.5 million. The Company utilized cash from its upsized Term Loan to complete the acquisition of Satelles in April. The Company ended the first quarter with a net debt balance of $1.6 billion, representing net leverage of 3.5 times OEBITDA.

Iridium paid a dividend of $0.14 per common share on June 28, 2024, resulting in year-to-date dividend payments of $32.8 million to stockholders. The Board of Directors' decision to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.14 per share starting with the second quarter 2024 dividend will result in a full-year dividend increase of 5.8%.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares of its common stock under its previously announced share repurchase program at a total purchase price of $96.6 million, in part funded by a $50 million draw down on Iridium's Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2024, $180.8 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under this program through December 31, 2025. The Company has retired 21.1 million shares, equivalent to $819.2 million, since its share repurchase program commenced in February 2021.

2024 Outlook and Longer-Term Outlook

The Company reiterated its full-year 2024 outlook and updated its longer-term guidance on net leverage:

Total service revenue growth between 4% and 6% for full-year 2024. Total service revenue for 2023 was $584.5 million.
Full-year 2024 OEBITDA between $460 million and $470 million. OEBITDA for 2023 was $463.1 million.
Cash taxes of less than $10 million per year from 2024 through 2026. We expect that the longer-term cash tax rate will move closer to the statutory rate in 2028.
Net leverage below 4.0 times OEBITDA through 2026 and falling below 2.0 times OEBITDA by the end of the decade, assuming the completion of the Company's share repurchase authorization and the payment of quarterly dividends consistent with the current level. (Previous near-term guidance for net leverage was below 2.5 times OEBITDA as Iridium exited 2026.) Net leverage was 3.1 times OEBITDA at December 31, 2023.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides Operational EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to help investors evaluate the Company's fundamental operational performance. Operational EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss} on equity method investments, acquisition and related costs, and share-based compensation expenses. Such charges are incidental to, but not reflective of, the Company's day-to-day operating performance. Operational EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered, an alternative to U.S. GAAP measurements such as net income or loss. In addition, there is no standardized measurement of Operational EBITDA, and the Company's calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes Operational EBITDA is a useful measure across time in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. Management also uses Operational EBITDA to manage the business, including in preparing its annual operating budget, debt covenant compliance, financial projections and compensation plans. The Company believes that Operational EBITDA is also useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries. As indicated, Operational EBITDA does not include interest expense on borrowed money, the payment of income taxes, amortization of the Company's definite-lived intangible assets, or depreciation expense on the Company's capital assets, which are necessary elements of the Company's operations. Since Operational EBITDA does not account for these and other expenses, its utility as a measure of the Company's operating performance has material limitations. Due to these limitations, the Company's management does not view Operational EBITDA in isolation, but also uses other measurements, such as net income, revenues and operating profit, to measure operating performance. Please refer to the schedule below for a reconciliation of consolidated GAAP net income to Operational EBITDA and Iridium's Investor Relations webpage at www.iridium.com for a discussion and reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of expected full-year 2024 Operational EBITDA guidance as the amount and significance of special items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts.
