"Our second quarter results show continued momentum in Gogo’s transformation into a global provider of high-speed broadband to the business and military/government aviation markets,” said Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo. “Our military and government business delivered a record quarter, with service revenue up 40% year over year, driven by ongoing demand for secure airborne connectivity, providing a durable revenue base. Our next-generation product transition is well under way, which we expect to be driven by the continued scaling of Galileo and 5G."

Zac Cotner, CFO of Gogo, commented, “Our second quarter financial results came in line with our expectations, supported by a particularly strong performance with our military and government customers. We continue to see expansion across that customer segment, which grew 20% sequentially and will continue to be both a stabilizer and growth engine for the future. Our results reflect disciplined execution across the business, which along with debt reduction, remain our highest financial priorities over the next several quarters.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in the discussion above. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for business planning purposes, including managing our business against internally projected results of operations and measuring our performance and liquidity. These supplemental performance measures also provide another basis for comparing period-to-period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. When analyzing our performance with Adjusted EBITDA or liquidity with Free Cash Flow, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net income (loss) attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flow in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated net cash provided by (used in) operating activities when evaluating our liquidity. No reconciliation of the forecasted amounts of Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating certain forward-looking amounts, and we are therefore unable to estimate the probable significance of such amounts. We believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
