Company Guidance -
Q3 2025
During the Iridium Communications Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance on several financial metrics. They are on track for a 5% operational EBITDA growth at the midpoint of their guidance, though they adjusted their service revenue growth outlook to between 3% and 5% for the year. This adjustment is primarily due to a faster-than-expected transition in maritime broadband services, reductions in voice subscribers due to canceled USAID funding, and delays in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) revenue, now expected in 2026. The company remains confident in its long-term goal of achieving $1 billion in service revenue by 2030, driven by investments in new products and services such as Iridium Certus IoT and Iridium NTN Direct. The company also highlighted growing opportunities in IoT, government contracts, and partnerships, emphasizing continued growth in certified devices and the addition of nearly 50 new business relationships since the start of 2025. Despite challenges, Iridium's diverse portfolio positions them well for future growth across various sectors.
Operational EBITDA Growth
Operational EBITDA was up 6% in the second quarter to $121.3 million, driven by a combination of revenue from engineering and support and recurring services.
Commercial IoT Revenue Growth
Commercial IoT revenue totaled $44.8 million in the second quarter, up 8% from a year earlier, reflecting broad-based adoption of IoT services.
Government Service Revenue Increase
Government Service revenue was up modestly in the second quarter to $26.8 million, reflecting the step-up in the EMSS contract with the U.S. government.
Strong Engineering and Support Revenue
Engineering and support revenue was $41.9 million in the second quarter, a strong increase from $25.8 million in the prior year period, driven by work with the Space Development Agency and new U.S. contract awards.
Ongoing Share Buyback and Dividend Increase
Iridium retired approximately 2.6 million shares of common stock during the second quarter, with a Board-approved authorization balance of $295 million. Quarterly dividends increased to $0.15 per share.
