Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES, commented: “I am pleased to report our solid 9 months 2025 results which include the first quarter for the combined company following the successful close of the Intelsat acquisition on 17 July 2025. The results reflect continued operational strength and demonstrate continued delivery on the strategic execution of the newly combined and expanded SES.

The new SES is now a truly global multi-orbit operator with greater scale built for the future, positioning us for long-term growth, strong financial performance, and a more resilient business. We are excited about our potential to shape the future of space solutions and global connectivity. From Day 1, we have made significant progress with the integration of the two companies. We have begun to realise synergies across the business, and we expect to deliver on our synergy plan. We are confident in our ability to convert those operational gains into sustained Adjusted FCF and long-term shareholder value.

Our solid 9 months 2025 performance is underpinned by the strong growth in the Networks business, accounting for c.60% of revenues. We continue to see commercial traction across Government and Aviation, which underscores our strong positioning in high-value segments, driven by our differentiated and scalable multi-orbit offering.

We have a robust pipeline of Government opportunities supported by increased defence spending in Europe and NATO countries. We also have strong momentum with the US government, including the award to SES Space & Defense of a five-year Sustainment Tactical Network (STN) contract, to provide the U.S. Army with COMSATCOM services. In addition, the U.S. Space Force awarded five companies, including SES, positions on a five-year, $4 billion contract under the Protected Tactical Satellite Communications-Global (PTS-G) program. The program aims to provide resilient, anti-jam communications for tactical military operations, leveraging both commercial innovation and traditional defence expertise.

Our Aviation business expanded with the Intelsat acquisition and is now serving over 3,000 tails. This business remains a key growth driver, with continued momentum in securing global airline customers, such as American Airlines and, most recently, new carriers in Latin America and Asia Pacific. Our multi-orbit ESA solution, flexible business models, global coverage, low latency, and Ka and Ku band options are enabling airlines to meet rising bandwidth demands, especially with wide WiFi deployments. We now have 16 airlines that have opted for our ESA solution with commitments for over 1,000 aircraft installations. Since closing of the Intelsat transaction, we have won 200 new tails demonstrating the relevance of our aviation solutions.

Our Media business continues to deliver in-line with expectations and is extending important partnerships, such as the latest multi-year renewal with Arqiva, underpinning SES’s stable and cash-generative foundation.

O3b mPOWER satellites 9 and 10 were successfully launched in July with service entry expected in early 2026 to further boost network capacity and resilience. The remaining satellites 11-13 are scheduled to launch in 2026. The additional O3b mPOWER satellites will bring up to a threefold increase in available capacity by 2027 when the entire O3b mPOWER constellation is fully deployed, accelerating our profitable and long-term growth trajectory.

The strategic acquisition of Intelsat positions the new SES well to lead the next era of satellite connectivity and space-based solutions and deliver sustainable value for customers and shareholders alike.”

“At constant FX” refers to comparative figures restated at the current period FX to neutralise currency variations.

Fully consolidating Intelsat from 17 July 2025, Networks revenue of €1,053 million (60% of total revenue) increased 36.3% yoy driven by growth in Aero (+111.6% yoy) Government (+33.4% yoy) and Fixed and Maritime (+13.2% yoy; including periodic revenue of €19 million recognised in Q1 2025 vs €22 million in Q1 2024). YTD 2025, the Networks business secured over €970 million of renewals and new business.

Media revenue of €686 million (40% of total revenue) was stable at +0.7% yoy, benefiting from fully consolidating Intelsat from 17 July 2025. Underlying declines result from lower revenue in mature markets due to capacity optimisation and the impact of SD channel switch offs as well as the full Q2 and Q3 impact of the Brazilian customer bankruptcy. YTD 2025, the business secured more than €440 million of renewals and new business.

Adjusted EBITDA of €849 million represented an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 49% (YTD 2024: 53%) including the contribution from the acquisition of Intelsat from 17 July 2025, equipment revenues from Aviation, flow through of the periodic revenue impact and some shifts in costs. Adjusted EBITDA excludes significant special items of €24 million net expenses (YTD 2024: €41 million net expenses), comprising of other income of €85 million (YTD 2024: nil), net C-band income of €1 million (YTD 2024: €2 million) and expenses related to other significant special items of €110 million, primarily related to restructuring and merger and acquisition activities (YTD 2024: €43 million).

Adjusted Net Profit of €71 million (YTD 2024: €116 million), mainly reflecting €96 million year-on-year increased depreciation & amortisation driven by the Intelsat acquisition and higher net financing costs of €44 million (YTD 2024: €6m). This was partly offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA, higher net non-operating income, higher minority interest and lower net income tax. Net financing costs included the benefit of earned interest income on the group’s cash & cash equivalents of €79 million (YTD 2024: €92 million), interest expense on external borrowings of €54 million (YTD 2024: €69 million), loan fees and origination costs and other of €55 million (YTD 2024: €21 million) and the impact of net foreign exchange loss of €14 million (YTD 2024: loss of €8 million).

Adjusted Net Profit excludes the significant special items highlighted above, as well as non-cash net impairment expense of €73 million (YTD 2024: €25 million), M&A related net financing charges of €66 million (YTD 2024: nil) and net tax benefit of €37 million (YTD 2024: benefit of €26 million) associated with all the significant special items.

SES continues to engage with insurers on the insurance claim for O3b mPOWER satellites 1-4. To date, the company has collected approximately $87 million through settlements, with additional payments expected as negotiations progress.

Gross backlog on 30 September 2025 was €7.1 billion of which Media backlog was €3.3 billion and Networks backlog was €3.8 billion.

The interim FY2025 dividend of €104 million equal to €0.25 per A-share and €0.10 per B-share was paid to shareholders on 16 October 2025. The final FY2025 dividend (subject to shareholder approval) of at least €0.25 per A-share (€0.10 per B-share) to be paid to shareholders in April 2026.

SES sets out its combined FY2025 outlook⁽⁷⁾ on a reported basis (Intelsat fully consolidated from 17 July 2025): Revenue is expected to be in the range of €2.60 to 2.70 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of €1.17 to 1.21 billion. Capital expenditure (net cash absorbed by investing activities excluding acquisitions and financial investments) outlook reduced, now expected to be in the range of €0.6 to 0.7 billion in FY2025.

The combined like-for-like financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition occurred on 1 January 2024, nor is it meant to be indicative of future results of operations of the Combined Group. The combined like-for-like financial information is based on the SES Group’s accounting policies. Further review may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the SES Group and the Intelsat Group that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Combined Group. The combined like-for-like financial information does not reflect any adjustment for liabilities or related costs of any integration and similar activities, or benefits, including potential synergies that may be derived in future periods, from the Acquisition.

For the purpose of this combined like-for-like financial information, the assumed allocation of the estimated purchase price is based upon the carrying value of Intelsat’s assets and liabilities acquired which are assumed to approximate fair value. The actual fair values of assets and liabilities will be determined after the completion of the Acquisition and may vary materially from the currently assumed allocation.

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.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin	EBITDA adjusted to exclude significant special items of a 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.
Combined Like-for-like Adjusted EBITDA	Combined Like-for-like Adjusted EBITDA includes Intelsat fully consolidated from 1 January 2024, at reported FX.
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, restructuring charges, M&A (including net financing income / costs), specific business taxes and one-off regulatory charges arising outside ongoing operations.
Adjusted Net Debt	Adjusted Net Debt is defined as current and non-current borrowings (including lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents (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.
Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA	The Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as Adjusted Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
Combined Like-for-like Net leverage	The Combined Like-for-like Net leverage ratio is defined as Adjusted Net Debt divided by twelve-month rolling Combined Like-for-likeAdjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Net Profit	Net profit attributable to owners of the parent adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of significant special items including M&A net financing income / costs.

Forward looking statements

This press release contains, and our officers and representatives may make, certain “forward-looking statements” as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “positioned,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” “likely,” “believe,” “target,” “will,” and similar expressions or their negative. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our 2025 outlook, liquidity, revenue, gross margin, operating margin, effective tax rate, foreign currency exchange movements, earnings per share, our plans and decisions relating to various capital expenditures, capital allocation priorities and other discretionary items such as our market growth assumptions, and generally, our expectations concerning our future performance.

Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and are subject to uncertainties and risks that are difficult to predict such as: the company’s ability to achieve the synergies expected from the acquisition of Intelsat, as well as risks, delays, challenges and expenses associated with integration; delays or failures in satellite launches, deployments, or operations, including technical malfunctions or satellite lifespan limitations; regulatory challenges, including the company or its customers failing to obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals and regulatory changes in countries in which it provides service; competitive pressures in the telecommunications industry, including shifts in demand for satellite, terrestrial networks and alternate distribution technologies; the company’s dependence upon several large customers; changes in technology or the satellite communications market that could make the company’s satellite telecommunications system obsolete or subject to lower or reduced demand; global economic turmoil, trade wars and tariffs; liquidity, currency and foreign exchange and counterparty risks; potential cyber-attacks against, or breaches to, the company’s information technology systems; the impact of overall industry and general economic conditions, including uncertainty around the macroeconomy, inflation, interest rates and related monetary policy in response to inflation; tax regulations; the U.S. federal government shutdown; and the company’s level of indebtedness.

Other factors that might cause actual results to differ include those discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form F-4. Should one or more of these uncertainties or risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary from those anticipated, and therefore you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof and, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
