ViaSat Announces Fiscal Year 2012 Third Quarter Results
Carlsbad, Calif. – February 6, 2012 – ViaSat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), an innovator in satellite and other wireless networking systems and services, announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 30, 2011 including new contract awards of $211.9 million, revenues of $205.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $36.9 million, and non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.26 per share, or $0.12 per share on a diluted GAAP basis. Year-to-date, ViaSat reported new contract awards of $711.2 million, revenues of $623.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $112.1 million, and non-GAAP diluted net income attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.74 per share, or $0.34 per share on a diluted GAAP basis.
“Our third quarter financial results were generally in line with our expectations,” said Mark Dankberg, ViaSat CEO and chairman. “New orders, revenue and backlog are growing compared to last fiscal year, but costs associated with the ViaSat-1 launch delay weigh on earnings. Now, with the successful launch of the groundbreaking ViaSat-1 satellite in October and the subsequent introduction of our new high-speed ExedeSM broadband service early in 2012, we can really grow our broadband subscriber base for the first time since the WildBlue acquisition two years ago.”

| 5 | Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments. |
Government Systems Segment
The Government Systems segment posted quarterly revenues of $94.9 million, a slight decrease of 2.8% from the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The decrease was due to lower sales of information assurance and tactical data link products, offset partly by an increase in broadband networking service revenues for military customers. Adjusted EBITDA for the Government Systems segment was $19.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to $14.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. New contract awards in our Government Systems segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 were $114.3 million. Year to date, Government Systems revenue was $284.4 million, an increase of 1.1% from the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Commercial Networks Segment
In the Commercial Networks segment, revenues were $54.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, a 39.4% increase from the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The revenue increase was primarily due to increased sales of antenna systems products, satellite payload technology development programs, consumer broadband products, and mobile broadband satellite communication systems, offset by decreased sales of enterprise VSAT networks and products. Adjusted EBITDA for the Commercial Networks segment shows a loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, compared to a loss of $1.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. New contract awards in our Commercial Networks segment for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 were $41.9 million. Year to date, Commercial Networks revenues were $170.7 million, an increase of 32.4% from the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Satellite Services Segment
Our Satellite Services segment contributed revenues of $55.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, a 6.2% decrease compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, primarily from a decrease in WildBlue® services due to the lower number of wholesale subscribers as our sales channels provisioned fewer customers with existing service plans in anticipation of the commencement of our new ExedeSM service offerings in

cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement ViaSat’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), ViaSat uses non-GAAP net income attributable to ViaSat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures ViaSat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of ViaSat’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ViaSat Inc. excludes the effects of amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to ViaSat Inc. before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition related expenses. We also use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs and to evaluate future growth opportunities. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to the company’s historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables titled “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Net Income Attributable to ViaSat Inc. on a GAAP Basis and Non-GAAP Basis,” “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Net Income Attributable to ViaSat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA” and “An Itemized Reconciliation Between Segment Operating Profit (Loss) Before Corporate and Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets and Adjusted EBITDA” contained in this release.
