Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES, commented: "We delivered good Q1 performance which continues to underscore that our evolved strategy is yielding positive operational and financial results, leading to a solid start to the year. We continue to deliver commercial momentum across the business reaffirming our FY 2025 financial outlook.

On the back of a strong performance, the Networks business now accounts for approximately 60% of revenues and delivered year-on-year growth led by government and mobility. This highlights our robust position in target segments with a differentiated multi-orbit offering. We have secured EUR360 million in new business and contract renewals to support future growth including an enhanced pipeline of Government opportunities, significant wins by our Open Orbits$(TM)$ partners in aero, such as Uzbekistan Airways and extended cooperation with Thai Airways, and recent wins in Media with Mileto in Brazil and the Association of Tennis Professionals $(ATP.AU)$ globally. In Media we have delivered to expectations.

With a solid start to the year and mPOWER satellites 7&8 boosting mPower network capacity and resilience from May, we are on track to deliver strong operational performance with acceleration in Networks revenue to meet our FY 2025 financial outlook. The acquisition of Intelsat is progressing well and on track for completion in H2 2025."

FX, to neutralise currency variations. 
 

Networks revenue (60% of total revenue vs 54% in Q1 2024) of EUR302 million increased +8.4% year-on-year driven by growth in Government (+13.1% yoy) and Mobility (+8.5% yoy including periodic revenue of EUR19 million recognised in Q1 2025 vs EUR22 million in Q1 2024), offsetting lower Fixed Data (-2.0% yoy). Excluding periodic impact, Networks revenue grew +10.8% yoy and Mobility +18.0% yoy.

Media revenue (40% of total revenue vs 46% in Q1 2024) of EUR206 million reduced 10.6% year-on-year, on the back of lower revenue in mature markets due to capacity optimisation and the impact of SD channel switch offs as well as the Brazilian customer bankruptcy.

Adjusted EBITDA of EUR280 million represented an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 55% (Q1 2024: 55%) including flow through of the periodic revenue impact and some shifts in costs as well as lower margin equipment sales. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant special items of EUR7 million (Q1 2024: EUR6 million).

Adjusted Net Profit of EUR42 million was lower than Q1 2024 (EUR77 million), mainly reflecting year-on-year increased depreciation & amortisation and higher net financing costs of EUR15 million (Q1 2024: net financing income of EUR5 million). This was partly offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower net income tax expense. Net financing costs included the benefit of earned interest income on the group's cash & cash equivalents of EUR25 million (Q1 2024: EUR34 million), net interest expense on external borrowings of EUR21 million (2024: EUR22 million), loan fees and origination costs and other of EUR6 million (Q1 2024: EUR5 million) and the impact of net foreign exchange loss of EUR13 million (Q1 2024: loss of EUR1 million).

On 31 March 2025, Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (treating 50% of EUR1.524 billion of hybrid bonds as debt and 50% as equity) was 1.2 times (31 March 2024: 1.5 times). Cash & cash equivalents of EUR3.1 billion (excluding EUR295 million of restricted cash with respect to the SES-led consortium's involvement in IRIS(2) ) included the proceeds from the hybrid dual-tranche bond offering of EUR1 billion completed at the beginning of September 2024.

The total amount of remaining U.S. C-band clearing cost reimbursements expected to be received in future is now approximately $24 million. SES is continuing to engage with insurers regarding the insurance claim relating to O3b mPOWER satellites 1-4. In April, SES has closed some initial settlements with a small number of insurers, resulting in initial settlement payments of c.$58 million so far, with further settlements expected to follow.

On 3 April 2025, AGM approved all company recommended resolutions including prioritisation of shareholder returns. The final FY 2024 dividend of EUR110 million equal to EUR0.25 per A-share and EUR0.10 per B-share was paid to shareholders on 17 April 2025.

SES reaffirms its FY 2025 outlook (assuming nominal satellite health and launch schedule): FY 2025 Group Revenue is expected to be stable compared with 2024 (at constant FX) and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be broadly stable year-on-year (at constant FX) on the better-than-expected 2024 outturn. Capital expenditure (net cash absorbed by investing activities excluding acquisitions and financial investments) is expected to be in the range of EUR425-475 million in 2025, followed by an average annual capital expenditure of approximately EUR325 million for 2026-2029.

In addition, SES's expected capital expenditure relating to IRIS(2) of up to EUR1.8 billion will start ramping mostly from 2027 and will translate into an average annual spend of around EUR400 million over 2027-2030 (subject to a rendezvous point at the end of 2025 to validate the project cost, technical requirements, and delivery timetable, whereby any party can exit in the event of excess expected cost, not meeting technical requirements, and/or delays to the in-service date).

The proposed acquisition of Intelsat is on track, and is anticipated to complete in H2 2025, subject to receiving the necessary regulatory clearances, with all previously communicated financial objectives for the combined company reaffirmed (pre-IRIS(2) ). As previously announced, SES expects the proposed acquisition to have a positive impact on free cash flow, increasing the Company's financial flexibility. In terms of capital allocation, SES remains committed to investment grade metrics, profitable investments, and a stable to progressive dividend. As SES meets its net leverage target (Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of below 3 times within 12-18 months after closing the Intelsat transaction, the company intends to increase the annual base dividend and at least a majority of future exceptional cashflows of the combined company will be prioritised for shareholder returns.

The financing of the Intelsat acquisition has also been fully secured. To optimise the debt structure of the combined entity, SES intends to redeem (in aggregate) approximately US$2bn of the 6.500% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2030 issued by Intelsat Jackson Holdings SA ("SSNs") on or before closing of the transaction, through (i) at closing, redemption of part of the SSNs in accordance with the terms thereof and ii) prior to closing, conducting open market purchases of the outstanding SSNs. After closing, SES may from time to time conduct further market purchases of the SSNs.

1) Earnings per share is calculated as profit attributable to owners of the 
parent divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 
year, as adjusted to reflect the economic rights of each class of share. For 
the purposes of the EPS calculation only, the net profit for the year 
attributable to ordinary shareholders has been adjusted to include the coupon, 
net of tax, on the perpetual bonds. Fully diluted earnings per share are not 
significantly different from basic earnings per share. 
 

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

SES regularly uses Alternative Performance Measures ('APM') to present the performance of the Group and believes that these APMs are relevant to enhance understanding of the financial performance and financial position. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or any other body of generally accepted accounting principles and thus should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in the Group's financial statements.

 
 Alternative Performance Measure         Definition 
--------------------------------------  -------------------------------------- 
 Reported EBITDA and EBITDA margin       EBITDA is profit for the period 
                                         before depreciation, amortisation, 
                                         impairment, net financing cost, other 
                                         non-operating income / expense (net) 
                                         and income tax. EBITDA margin is 
                                         EBITDA divided by the sum of revenue 
                                         and other income including U.S. 
                                         C-band repurposing income.

                                         non-recurring nature. The primary 
                                         such items are the net impact of U.S. 
                                         C-band spectrum repurposing, other 
                                         income, restructuring charges, costs 
                                         associated with the development 
                                         and/or implementation of merger and 
                                         acquisition activities ("M&A"), 
                                         specific business taxes and one-off 
                                         regulatory charges arising outside 
                                         ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA 
                                         margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by 
                                         revenue. 
--------------------------------------  -------------------------------------- 
 Adjusted Free Cash Flow                 Net cash generated by operating 
                                         activities less net cash absorbed by 
                                         investing activities, interest paid 
                                         on borrowings, coupon paid on 
                                         perpetual bond and lease payments, 
                                         and adjusted to exclude the net cash 
                                         flow impact of significant special 
                                         items of a non-recurring nature, 
                                         primarily U.S. C-band spectrum 
                                         repurposing, other income,

                                         (excluding amounts subject to 
                                         contractual restrictions) and 
                                         excluding 50% of the Hybrid Bond 
                                         (classified as borrowings) and 
                                         including 50% of the Perpetual Bond 
                                         (classified as equity). The treatment 
                                         of the Hybrid Bond and Perpetual Bond 
                                         is consistent with rating agency 
                                         methodology.
