April 23, 2026

MCLEAN, Va., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Iridium Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: IRDM) (“Iridium” or the “Company”), a leading provider of global voice, data, and PNT satellite services, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and reiterated its full-year 2026 outlook.

Iridium reported first quarter total revenue of $219.1 million, which consisted of $158.0 million of service revenue and $61.0 million of revenue related to equipment sales and engineering and support projects. Total revenue increased 2% versus the comparable period of 2025. Service revenue, which primarily represents recurring revenue from Iridium’s growing subscriber base, grew 2% from the year-ago period and was 72% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2026.

“2026 is off to a solid start, as we continue to grow service revenue and introduce new products, like our next-generation IoT platform,” said Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium. “We continue to invest in key areas of differentiation, which offer attractive opportunities for growth, including IoT, PNT, national security missions and aviation safety services.”

Income from Operations

Net income was $21.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to net income of $30.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Operational EBITDA (“OEBITDA”)(1) for the first quarter was $116.3 million, as compared to $122.1 million for the prior-year period. The year-over-year OEBITDA decline was driven by a $4.2 million increase in accrued expenses related to a change in practice to pay annual incentive compensation entirely in cash rather than a mix of equity and cash, which the Company previewed on its fourth quarter earnings call.

Subscribers

The Company ended the first quarter with 2,555,000 total billable subscribers, up from 2,443,000 for the year-ago period and 2,537,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Total billable subscribers grew 5% year-over-year, led by growth in commercial IoT.

Business Highlights

Service – Commercial

Commercial service remained the largest part of Iridium’s business, representing 60% of the Company’s total revenue during the first quarter. The Company’s commercial customer base is diverse and includes the aviation, construction, emergency services, forestry, maritime, mining, oil and gas, recreation, and transportation markets, among others. Iridium’s products and services are critical to these customers’ daily operations and integral to their communications and business infrastructure.

Commercial service revenue was $130.4 million, up 2% from the comparable period last year.Commercial voice and data: Revenue was $57.4 million, up 3% from the year-ago period. Subscribers fell 2% from the year-ago period to 399,000. Average revenue per user (“ARPU”) increased to $48 during the first quarter, compared to $45 in last year’s comparable period, driven primarily by price actions implemented during the third quarter of 2025.Commercial IoT data: Revenue was $46.0 million, up 5% from the year-ago period. Subscribers grew 7% from the year-ago period to 2,019,000. ARPU was $7.63 in the first quarter, compared to $7.75 in last year’s comparable period.Commercial broadband: Revenue was $12.2 million, down 5% from the year-ago period. Subscribers declined 1% from the year-ago period to 16,100. ARPU was $254 during the first quarter, compared to $261 in last year’s comparable period, reflecting the increased prevalence of Iridium’s use in lower-priced companion plans.Hosted payload and other data service: Revenue was $14.8 million, down 1% from the year-ago period.Iridium’s commercial business ended the quarter with 2,434,000 billable subscribers, which is up from 2,310,000 for the prior-year quarter and compares to 2,416,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. IoT data subscribers represented 83% of billable commercial subscribers at the end of the first quarter, an increase from 82% at the end of the 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. 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 for an unlimited number of Department of War (formerly 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, the revenue of which is included in engineering and support services revenue. Iridium Certus® airtime services are not included under these contracts and may be procured separately for an additional fee.

Government service revenue grew 3% to $27.6 million in the first quarter, reflecting contractual rate increases in the EMSS Contract over the prior year.Under the terms of the multi-year EMSS Contract, Iridium’s fixed-price rate increased to $110.5 million for the contract year beginning September 15, 2025.Iridium’s U.S. government business ended the quarter with 121,000 subscribers, which compares to 133,000 for the prior-year quarter and 121,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Government voice and data subscribers declined 20% from the year-ago period to 43,000 as of March 31, 2026. Government IoT data subscribers remained relatively flat year-over-year and represented 64% of government subscribers at the end of the first quarter.

Equipment

Equipment revenue was $20.2 million in the first quarter, down 13% compared to $23.1 million in the prior-year quarter.For the full-year 2026, the Company expects equipment sales will be in line with 2025.

Engineering & Support

Engineering and support revenue was $40.8 million during the first quarter, up 9% compared to $37.5 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increasing activity with the U.S. government.For the full-year 2026, the Company expects engineering and support revenue to increase from 2025.

Capital Allocation

Capital expenditures were $30.0 million for the first quarter, including $1.4 million in capitalized interest. The Company ended the first quarter with gross debt of $1.8 billion, and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $111.6 million, for a net debt balance of $1.7 billion. The Company ended the first quarter with net leverage of 3.4 times trailing twelve months OEBITDA.

Iridium paid its first quarter dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock on March 31, 2026, resulting in a total payment of $16.5 million to stockholders. The Company’s Board of Directors has increased the dividend paid per share each year since initiating a dividend in 2023.

2026 and Longer-Term Outlook

The Company reiterated its full-year 2026 outlook and reaffirmed its long-term guidance on cash taxes and net leverage:

Total service revenue projected to be flat to 2% for full-year 2026. Total service revenue for 2025 was $634.0 million.Net income for 2025 was $114.4 million and OEBITDA for 2025 was $495.3 million. In 2026, the Company determined to pay annual incentive compensation entirely in cash, rather than a mix of equity and cash as has been the Company’s prior practice. This change is projected to have a $17 million impact to OEBITDA, resulting in expected full-year 2026 OEBITDA of $480 million to $490 million. Without this change, OEBITDA would have been projected to be in a range of $497 million to $507 million.Cash taxes of less than $10 million per year through 2027. The Company’s longer-term cash tax rate is expected to move closer to the statutory rate in 2029.Net leverage at or below 3.0 times OEBITDA by the end of 2026 and falling below 2.0 times OEBITDA by the end of the decade. Net leverage was 3.4 times OEBITDA at December 31, 2025.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Definitions

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company reports OEBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure to help investors evaluate the Company’s fundamental operational performance. OEBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain (loss) on equity method investments, transaction related expenses, and share-based compensation expenses. The Company considers the loss on early extinguishment of debt to be financing-related costs associated with interest expense or amortization of financing fees, which by definition are excluded from OEBITDA. Management believes such charges are incidental to, but not reflective of, the Company’s day-to-day operating performance. OEBITDA 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 OEBITDA, and the Company’s calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company believes OEBITDA is a useful measure across time in evaluating its fundamental core operating performance. Management also uses OEBITDA to manage the business, including in preparing its annual operating budget, debt covenant compliance, financial projections and compensation plans. The Company believes that OEBITDA 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, OEBITDA 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 OEBITDA 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 OEBITDA 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 OEBITDA and Iridium’s Investor Relations webpage at www.iridium.comfor a discussion and reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP financial measures. The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of expected full year 2026 OEBITDA guidance as the amount and significance of certain items such as share-based compensation, transaction related expenses and gain/loss on equity method investments, that are required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE DC HIGH POWER CHARGER MARKET:

The above-range high power charger category is driving market growth by enabling charging networks to serve premium long-range electric vehicles, high-traffic transport corridors, and locations where turnaround speed directly affects utilization. This segment strengthens the business case for fast-charging hubs because it supports shorter charging sessions, reduces congestion during peak periods, and improves site economics in spaces with limited parking turnover. It is also becoming important for operators that want future-ready assets capable of handling next-generation vehicle architectures and larger battery packs. As charging demand shifts from occasional top-up behavior to travel-critical infrastructure, this segment is reinforcing investment in high-capacity sites built for throughput, network reputation, and long-term competitive positioning.

The lower fast-charging band continues to drive market growth by giving operators a practical route to scale charging access across cities, retail zones, workplaces, parking destinations, and intercity routes without the heavier power burden associated with ultra-high-capacity systems. This segment is attractive because it balances charging speed, site economics, grid compatibility, and installation flexibility, making it suitable for broader rollout strategies. It supports use cases where drivers need meaningful recharge within a manageable stop duration while allowing network owners to expand footprint across more locations. Its importance remains strong because market growth depends not only on the fastest chargers, but also on the widespread availability of dependable fast charging that can serve everyday electric mobility patterns efficiently.

Battery electric vehicles are the strongest application-side driver for the DC high power charger market because they depend directly on public fast-charging availability for long-distance travel, high-mileage usage, and confidence beyond home charging access. As the BEV base expands across private ownership, commercial mobility, ride-linked operations, and corporate fleets, the requirement for rapid and dependable public charging grows with it. BEV users place greater importance on route continuity, charging speed, and network accessibility, which lifts demand for higher-power infrastructure across both urban and highway locations. This application segment is shaping charger deployment priorities, site design, and capacity planning, making BEV growth the central demand engine behind fast-charging network expansion.

Expansion along highways and major transit corridors is a major growth factor because DC high power chargers are increasingly being positioned as mobility infrastructure rather than optional convenience assets. Corridor deployment helps eliminate range anxiety during longer trips and supports intercity travel behavior that slower charging formats cannot address effectively. Operators are prioritizing locations that connect urban centers, logistics routes, and destination clusters, which increases demand for chargers designed for rapid turnover and dependable uptime. This corridor-led pattern is pushing the market toward larger-format charging sites, better traffic handling, and stronger service consistency, all of which expand the addressable market for high power charging systems.

Fleet electrification is accelerating market growth because commercial operators need charging systems that minimize idle time and keep vehicles in active service. Delivery fleets, mobility operators, shuttle services, and institutional vehicle pools increasingly require fast and repeatable charging windows that align with operating schedules rather than residential charging behavior. DC high power chargers fit this requirement by supporting tighter turnaround cycles and reducing the operational friction associated with battery replenishment. As fleet managers evaluate route efficiency, asset utilization, and depot or public charging dependency, demand rises for charging infrastructure that can sustain predictable service levels under high daily use conditions.

A strong focus on site throughput is driving investment in DC high power charging because network owners are under pressure to serve more vehicles per location without expanding physical footprint excessively. Faster charging capability improves stall turnover, lowers queue buildup, and supports better revenue generation from high-demand sites. This matters especially in transport nodes, dense urban areas, retail destinations, and highway hubs where land, grid access, and parking efficiency shape infrastructure decisions. The market is therefore moving toward charger configurations that maximize service output per site, making high power systems increasingly attractive for operators seeking stronger utilization and improved network economics.

Retail centers, fuel-linked destinations, hospitality properties, and mixed-use sites are contributing to market growth as they treat fast charging as a traffic-generation and dwell-time optimization tool. DC high power chargers help these locations capture EV users who value convenience, short stop durations, and route-based charging access. For site hosts, the charger becomes more than an energy asset; it becomes a customer acquisition and retention instrument tied to visit quality and spending behavior. This commercial logic is expanding the market beyond dedicated charging operators and bringing in a wider base of property owners that want to participate in EV traffic capture through faster on-site charging capability.

Grid-aware deployment is also driving the market because charging providers are increasingly choosing solutions that balance high charging output with smarter power allocation across multiple dispensers and site conditions. As projects move from isolated installations to networked charging hubs, infrastructure decisions are being shaped by load sharing, demand management, and site-level power optimization. DC high power chargers are benefiting from this shift because they are often deployed within broader energy-managed systems that improve charger performance without wasting available capacity. This planning approach helps unlock more viable project locations and supports scalable charger deployment in areas where raw electrical capacity alone may otherwise restrict rollout.
