The earnings call highlighted significant achievements in securing financing and making progress on Telesat Lightspeed, as well as effective debt management. However, these were overshadowed by substantial challenges, including anticipated revenue declines, reduced adjusted EBITDA, foreign exchange losses, and a significant net loss.
Company Guidance
During the call, Telesat's leadership provided guidance for the fiscal year 2025, expecting revenue to decline by approximately $155 million at the midpoint of their guidance, primarily due to continued pressure in their GEO business, specifically in the video and enterprise segments. The anticipated decline is partly attributed to the impact of the Nimiq 5 agreement renewal with Dish, the end of service with Shaw on the Anik F2 satellite, and the expiration of the Anik F3 contract with Dish. Additionally, competition from Starlink and a new Indonesian satellite replacing some services have also contributed to the forecasted decrease. Telesat's consolidated adjusted EBITDA is expected to drop by about $200 million, with Lightspeed OpEx projected to increase by approximately $40 million as the company ramps up engineering and operational resources. Furthermore, Telesat plans capital expenditures of $900 million to $1.1 billion for the year, mostly related to the development of Lightspeed.
Above Guidance GEO Business Performance
Telesat's GEO business achieved revenue and adjusted EBITDA above guidance for 2024, reflecting focused and disciplined execution.
Lightspeed Financing and Development Progress
Secured financing arrangements with the governments of Canada and Quebec for Telesat Lightspeed, investing over $1 billion in development and completing important milestones.
Debt Reduction Achievements
Repurchased $262 million in debt during 2024, resulting in $54 million annual interest savings and a reduction of 36% of total debt outstanding.
