Recent Company Highlights
- Gogo received FAA PMA approval for its Galileo FDX antenna on May 5, 2025, two months ahead of schedule.
- The Company already has 38 HDX Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) under contract which have a corresponding total addressable market of nearly 32,000 aircraft.
- 59 HDX antennas have been shipped year to date. Installed units are flying on aircraft in Europe and Brazil and performing to specifications.
- The FAA has granted Gogo STC approval for its Plane Simple® Ka-band tail mount terminal for Gulfstream GV and Gulfstream G550 aircraft.
“We are excited to achieve PMA approval for our larger LEO antenna, the FDX, ahead of expectations,” said Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo. “This follows rapid progress of our smaller LEO antenna, the HDX, since achieving PMA in March. We believe that these two new products, along with an expected 5G launch in Q4, will begin to accelerate service revenue in the first quarter of 2026.”
“Strong first quarter financial results bolster our confidence to reiterate our 2025 financial guidance, including the potential impact of current tariffs and tariff proposals,” said Zac Cotner, CFO of Gogo. “We believe that the combination of integration synergies, new product revenue and the conclusion of a three-year product investment cycle will help to drive Free Cash Flow growth and further de-leveraging in 2026.”
2025 Financial Guidance
Gogo reiterates its 2025 financial guidance provided in March. These figures include the potential impact of the current tariffs and tariff proposals.
Total revenue in the range of $870 million to $910 million.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the range of $200 million to $220 million, reflecting operating expenses of approximately $25 million for strategic and operational initiatives, including Gogo 5G and Gogo Galileo.
Free Cash Flow(1) in the range of $60 million to $90 million, including $70 million of strategic initiatives, net of reimbursements tied to the FCC Reimbursement Program.
Capital expenditures of approximately $60 million, including $45 million for strategic initiatives including Gogo 5G, Gogo Galileo and the LTE network build, and excluding $20 million in capex reimbursement from the FCC Reimbursement Program.

(2) See "Key Operating Metrics" below.

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 2025 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 believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
Key Operating Metrics
Our management regularly reviews financial and operating metrics, including the key operating metrics in this press release under "Supplemental Information - Key Operating Metrics," to evaluate the performance of our business and our success in executing our business plan, make decisions regarding resource allocation and corporate strategies, and evaluate forward-looking projections. The metrics in this press release are only for the Gogo BA segment and do not include metrics for the Satcom Direct segment for the period in which it is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the GEO aircraft online (which includes the Satcom Direct business aviation broadband GEO aircraft online but excludes military/government GEO aircraft online), because this reporting period provided insufficient time for management to review, test and select meaningful metrics that would be useful on a standalone basis to both management and investors. Additionally, the metrics in this press release are different in scope than those previously presented for the Gogo BA segment given the impact of the Satcom Direct acquisition. As previously disclosed, as part of the integration of the Satcom Direct business into the Company’s operations, management plans to develop a set of key financial and operating metrics for use by management and investors to reflect the major aspects of the combined Gogo BA and Satcom Direct business.

- AVANCE aircraft online. We define AVANCE aircraft online as the total number of business aircraft equipped with our AVANCE L5 or L3 system for which we provide ATG services as of the last day of each period presented.
- Gogo Biz aircraft online. We define Gogo Biz aircraft online as the total number of business aircraft not equipped with our AVANCE L5 or L3 system for which we provide ATG services as of the last day of each period presented. This number excludes commercial aircraft operated by Intelsat’s airline customers receiving ATG service.
- GEO aircraft online. We define GEO aircraft online as the total number of aircraft for which we provide GEO broadband services to business aviation customers as of the last day of each period presented. This number excludes aircraft receiving services through GEO satellite networks that are end-of-life. Pro-forma GEO aircraft online as of Q1 2024 (assuming acquisition of Satcom Direct prior to that date) was 1,101. We are providing this pro forma number because this metric relates primarily to the business of Satcom Direct.
- Average monthly connectivity service revenue per ATG aircraft online ("ARPU"). We define ATG ARPU as the aggregate ATG connectivity service revenue for the period divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the number of ATG aircraft online during the period (expressed as an average of the month end figures for each month in such period). Revenue share earned from the ATG Network Sharing Agreement with Intelsat is excluded from this calculation.
-
ATG units sold. We define units sold as the number of ATG units for which we recognized revenue during the period.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA represents net income attributable to common stock before interest expense, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) acquisition and integration-related costs, including amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up costs and (iii) change in fair value of convertible note investment. Our management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that management believes have less bearing on our operating performance, thereby highlighting trends in our core business which may not otherwise be apparent. It also provides an assessment of controllable expenses, which are indicators management uses to determine whether current spending decisions need to be adjusted in order to meet financial goals and achieve optimal financial performance.
We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA provides a clearer view of the operating performance of our business and is appropriate given that grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time. While we believe that investors should have information about any dilutive effect of outstanding options and the cost of that compensation, we also believe that stockholders should have the ability to consider our performance using a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these costs and that management uses to evaluate our business.
Acquisition and integration-related costs include direct transaction costs, such as due diligence and advisory fees and certain compensation and integration-related expenses as well as the amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up costs. We believe it is useful for an understanding of our operating performance to exclude acquisition and integration-related costs from Adjusted EBITDA because they are infrequent, are outside of the ordinary course of our operations and do not reflect our operating performance.
We believe it is useful for an understanding of our operating performance to exclude the change in fair value of convertible note investment from Adjusted EBITDA because this activity is not related to our operating performance.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides investors, securities analysts and other users of our consolidated financial statements with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management.
Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, plus the proceeds received from the FCC Reimbursement Program and the interest rate caps, less purchases of property and equipment and the acquisition of intangible assets. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding our liquidity. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment to support the Company’s ongoing business operations and provides them with the same measures that management uses as the basis of making capital allocation decisions.
