EchoStar Announces Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS) announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Consolidated revenue of $499.3 million.
- Net income of $10.5 million, consolidated net income attributable to EchoStar common stock of $13.9 million and basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock of $0.16.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $167.7 million (see discussion and the reconciliation of GAAP to this non-GAAP measure below).
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Financial Highlights:
- Consolidated revenue of $1,000.9 million.
- Net income of $99.4 million, consolidated net income attributable to EchoStar common stock of $105.3 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock of $1.24.
- Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $333.6 million (see discussion and the reconciliation of GAAP to this non-GAAP measure below).
"Once again, the EchoStar team delivered a solid performance in the second quarter," said Hamid Akhavan, CEO and President of EchoStar. "We are focused on optimizing operations and asset yields in order to maintain our track record of excellent fiscal responsibility, and are leveraging our engineering expertise to innovate new solutions and applications across the market segments we serve."
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 - Additional Information:
- Consolidated revenue was flat year over year. Higher equipment sales of $16.1 million to our domestic and international enterprise customers was offset by lower service revenues of $16.6 million, primarily due to lower broadband consumer customers.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10.2% or $19.0 million year over year.
- Hughes segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $24.9 million year over year. The decrease was driven primarily by lower gross margin due to a change in revenue mix.
- ESS segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.3 million year over year.
- Corporate and Other segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.6 million year over year. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net, of $2.7 million and lower legal expenses.
- Net income decreased $24.5 million year over year. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable change in investments of $53.2 million, lower operating income of $19.4 million, and losses on foreign exchange of $4.3 million. These items were partially offset by lower net interest expense of $18.4 million, lower net income tax expense of $15.8 million, and lower losses in Other, net, of $15.4 million, which included litigation expense of $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.
- Hughes broadband subscribers totaled approximately 1,346,000, declining 60,000 from March 31, 2022. Our current capacity limitations require a balancing of capacity utilization with subscriber levels in areas of high bandwidth demand. These constraints, and increased competitive pressures, are impacting our consumer subscriber levels. In Latin America, subscriber levels were also impacted by adverse economic conditions, more selective customer screening, and capacity allocation to community WiFi and enterprise opportunities.
- For the three months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 63% of Hughes segment revenue was attributable to our consumer customers with approximately 37% attributable to our enterprise customers.
- Cash, cash equivalents and current marketable investment securities were $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2022.
- During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we purchased 1,924,875 shares of our Class A common stock in open market trades.
- The Jupiter 3/EchoStar XXIV satellite continues to progress at Maxar and is expected to be launched during the first half of 2023

Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA is defined as "Net income (loss)" excluding "Interest income, net," "Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized," "Income tax benefit (provision), net," "Depreciation and amortization," and "Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests."
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding Gains and losses on investments, net, Foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net, and other non-recurring or non-operational items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with US GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to Net income (loss) in the table above and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with US GAAP. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of our operating efficiency and overall financial performance for benchmarking against our peers and competitors. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the underlying operating performance of our business and are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our financial performance. Management also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate the performance of companies in our industry.
