Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gogo Inc. reported mixed first quarter 2026 results with reaffirmed full-year guidance. Total revenue was $226.3 million, down 2% year over year, as service revenue declined to $187.7 million while equipment revenue rose 22% to $38.6 million on a record 511 ATG units sold.

Net income was $13.1 million, up from $12.0 million a year earlier, helped by a $4.9 million reduction in the Satcom Direct earn-out liability. Adjusted EBITDA was $53.3 million, down 14% year over year but up 41% sequentially, including $6.1 million of litigation expenses.

Free cash flow was negative $19.2 million, compared with positive $30.0 million in Q1 2025, driven by bonus payments and working capital. Cash and cash equivalents were $103.5 million. The company highlighted growth in Gogo Galileo and 5G, obtained an FCC reimbursement program extension, and made a $21.1 million term loan principal payment and a $40.0 million earn-out payment in April. Gogo reaffirmed 2026 guidance for revenue of $905–$945 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $198–$218 million, and free cash flow of $90–$110 million.

Insights

Q1 shows modest revenue pressure but solid profitability and reaffirmed 2026 targets.

Gogo generated Q1 2026 revenue of $226.3 million, down 1.7% year over year, as service revenue fell while equipment revenue grew 21.7%. Net income improved to $13.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $53.3 million declined 14% year over year but rose sharply versus Q4.

Cash generation was weak this quarter: free cash flow was $(19.2) million compared with $30.0 million a year earlier, affected by $14 million in annual bonuses and inventory-related working capital. Still, cash on hand increased versus Q1 2025 to $103.5 million, and management continued deleveraging with a $21.1 million principal payment and a $40.0 million acquisition earn-out payment in April.

Strategically, the quarter underscores the shift toward next-generation connectivity. Record ATG units sold (511) and cumulative 410 Gogo Galileo shipments, plus growth in military/government service revenue, support longer-term expansion in business and government aviation. Reaffirmed 2026 guidance for revenue of $905–$945 million and free cash flow of $90–$110 million signals management’s confidence despite near-term service revenue softness and negative current-quarter free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net Income of $13.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA1 of $53.3 million, up 41% Sequentially"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow1 of $(19.2) million in Q1 2026 was down from $30.0 million"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
FCC Reimbursement Program regulatory
"The Company received approval for an extension under the FCC Reimbursement Program related to its LTE network deployment"
An FCC reimbursement program is a government-run process in which the U.S. Federal Communications Commission repays eligible companies or organizations for specific telecom-related costs mandated or supported by federal policy, such as network upgrades, relocation work, or consumer subsidy efforts. For investors, these reimbursements can directly affect a company’s cash flow and project economics—like a partial refund on required expenses—and can reduce regulatory risk or change the timing and size of expected costs and revenues.
Earnout Liability financial
"includes a $4.9 million pre-tax reduction to the earn-out accrual related to the Satcom Direct acquisition"
A future payment a buyer has agreed to make after an acquisition if the purchased business hits certain performance targets; it is recorded as a liability because it may become an obligation. Investors care because it affects a company's reported debt and potential cash outflows—similar to promising a bonus if a car you bought later reaches a set mileage, it shifts risk and can change valuation and earnings depending on whether the targets are met.
supplemental type certificates technical
"The Company has now completed 35 Gogo Galileo commercial supplemental type certificates ("STCs")"
A supplemental type certificate (STC) is an official approval from aviation regulators that allows a company to legally change or add to an aircraft’s original design, like getting a certified recipe modification for a manufactured product. For investors, an STC matters because it clears regulatory hurdles needed to sell, install, or operate aircraft modifications or equipment, which can unlock new revenue streams, reduce compliance risk, and affect maintenance costs and liability exposure.
Low Earth Orbit technical
"Gogo Galileo, Gogo's new cutting-edge Low Earth Orbit ("LEO") satellite broadband service"
Low Earth orbit (LEO) is the region of space close to Earth, roughly from about 160 to 2,000 kilometers above the surface, where satellites and spacecraft circle the planet quickly—think of it as a busy highway just overhead. It matters to investors because many communications, imaging and data services rely on satellites in LEO; their shorter lifespans, lower launch costs, crowded lanes and debris risks directly affect the cost, revenue potential and operational risks of companies that build, launch or use these satellites.
Revenue $226.3 million -1.7% year over year
Net income $13.1 million up from $12.0 million in Q1 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $53.3 million -14% vs Q1 2025, +41% vs Q4 2025
Free cash flow $(19.2) million down from $30.0 million in Q1 2025
Guidance

For 2026, Gogo targets total revenue of $905–$945 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $198–$218 million, and free cash flow of $90–$110 million, with net capital expenditures of $20 million assuming $45 million FCC reimbursement.

GOGO ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Total Revenue of $226.3 million;

Equipment Revenue up 22% Year-Over-Year to $38.6 million on Record ATG Unit Sales

Gogo Galileo and 5G Expected to Ramp in 2026

 

BROOMFIELD, Colo. - May 7, 2026 – Gogo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOGO) (“Gogo” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of broadband connectivity services for the business and military/government aviation markets, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

 

“We are pleased with our results in the quarter as Gogo continues its transformation from a domestic provider of air-to-ground (“ATG”) connectivity into a global provider of high-speed broadband to the underpenetrated business and military/government aviation markets,” said Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo. “Gogo Galileo is scaling globally, our sovereign 5G network is live and gaining traction amongst our business and military/government aviation customers, and our geostationary earth orbit (“GEO”) business continues to be resilient.”

 

Zac Cotner, CFO of Gogo, commented, “Our first quarter reflects the strong demand for our next-generation products as demonstrated by our record ATG and robust Gogo Galileo shipments. Further, our $21.1 million debt principal repayment in April underscores our commitment to de-lever the balance sheet, which remains our top capital allocation priority.”

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 2026 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 are therefore unable to estimate the probable significance of such amounts. We believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Key Business Metrics

Our management regularly reviews financial and business metrics, including the key business metrics in this press release under "Supplemental Information - Key Business 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. Certain of these business metrics may be added, removed or updated from time to time as our business evolves.

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 changes in fair value of the Earnout Liability, (iii) litigation settlement accrual costs, and (iv) 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

10

 


 

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 changes in fair value of the Earnout Liability related to the acquisition of Satcom Direct from Adjusted EBITDA because this activity is outside of the ordinary course of our operations and does not reflect our operating performance.

We believe it is useful for an understanding of our operating performance to exclude litigation settlement accrual costs from Adjusted EBITDA because this activity is outside of the ordinary course of our operations and does 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.

FAQ

How did Gogo (GOGO) perform financially in Q1 2026?

Gogo reported Q1 2026 revenue of $226.3 million, down 2% year over year. Net income rose to $13.1 million, while Adjusted EBITDA reached $53.3 million, down 14% year over year but up 41% sequentially from Q4 2025.

What drove Gogo’s revenue mix in the first quarter of 2026?

Q1 2026 service revenue was $187.7 million, down 5% year over year, while equipment revenue increased 22% to $38.6 million. Record ATG units sold (511) and Gogo Galileo shipments supported equipment growth despite lower business aviation service revenue.

What was Gogo’s cash flow and liquidity position in Q1 2026?

Gogo generated negative Q1 2026 free cash flow of $(19.2) million, versus positive $30.0 million a year earlier, mainly due to bonus payments and working capital changes. Cash and cash equivalents were $103.5 million as of March 31, 2026.

Did Gogo (GOGO) reaffirm its 2026 financial guidance?

Yes. Gogo reaffirmed 2026 guidance for total revenue of $905–$945 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $198–$218 million, and free cash flow of $90–$110 million. Guidance assumes about 80% service revenue and 20% equipment revenue for the year.

How are Gogo Galileo and 5G performing according to Q1 2026 results?

Management said Gogo Galileo is scaling globally and the sovereign 5G network is live and gaining traction. Q1 included 92 Gogo Galileo units shipped, cumulative shipments of 410, and 111 Galileo aircraft online, with further ramp expected during 2026.

What steps is Gogo taking to reduce debt and invest in growth?

Gogo made a $21.1 million principal payment on its HPS term loan and a $40.0 million earn-out payment related to the Satcom Direct acquisition in April 2026. It also plans $20 million net capital expenditures in 2026, assuming $45 million FCC reimbursement.
