Business Highlights
- In August, Telesat signed a
$2.7 billion agreement, including option periods, with Canada's Defence Investment Agency to deliver Telesat Lightspeed Military Ka-band services to the Canadian Armed Forces for the Enhanced Satellite Communications Project – Polar (ESCP-P) program. The contract is for a period of 15 years, including option years, with service under the contract beginning once Telesat Lightspeed enters commercial service. The contract includes milestone-based payments totaling$2.0 billion which are expected to be received between Q3 2026 and Q4 2028. The milestone payments will principally be used to fund the expansion of the Telesat Lightspeed constellation from 156 to 225 satellites. - In July, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission issued its Upper C-Band Report and Order, which established the framework for repurposing 160 MHz of Upper C-Band satellite spectrum in the U.S. for terrestrial wireless use. As set forth in the FCC’s Order, Telesat is eligible to receive US
$189 million in incentive payments, contingent upon meeting the specified transition deadlines. The order also has a mechanism for the reimbursement of reasonable and necessary transition costs. - In August, Telesat entered into a secured term loan agreement with an unaffiliated third-party lender, on arm’s length terms, under which Telesat borrowed US
$120 million for general corporate purposes. The funds were borrowed by a subsidiary of Telesat GEO Inc. The borrower is a non-guarantor under the documents governing Telesat GEO’s existing term loan and senior notes. The loan matures in four years, subject to acceleration and a prepayment premium upon certain customary events, and accrues interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. Additional information about the loan agreement can be found in Telesat’s quarterly report of Form 6-K filed on or about the date hereof.

End Notes
1 Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures – Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures. EBITDA is defined as “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” Adjusted EBITDA is used to measure Telesat’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income (less certain operating expenses such as share-based compensation expenses and unusual and non-recurring items, including restructuring related expenses) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is used to measure Telesat’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not standardized financial measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA allows investors and Telesat to compare Telesat’s operating results with that of competitors exclusive of depreciation and amortization, interest and investment income, interest expense, taxes and certain other expenses. Financial results of competitors in the satellite services industry have significant variations that can result from timing of capital expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded, the differences in assets’ lives, the timing and amount of investments, the effects of other income (expense), and unusual and non-recurring items. The use of Adjusted EBITDA assists investors and Telesat to compare operating results exclusive of these items. Competitors in the satellite services industry have significantly different capital structures. Telesat believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA improves comparability of performance by excluding interest expense.
Telesat believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and the Adjusted EBITDA margin along with IFRS Accounting Standards measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and is useful to investors and us in comparing performance with competitors, estimating enterprise value and making investment decisions. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as used here may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by competitors. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should be used in conjunction with IFRS Accounting Standards measures and are not presented as a substitute for cash flows from operations as a measure of our liquidity or as a substitute for net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance.
