Gogo Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $222.8 million, down 1% year over year and 2% sequentially, with service revenue of $191.3 million and equipment revenue of $31.5 million. The company posted a net loss of $2.0 million, compared with net income of $12.8 million in Q2 2025, while Adjusted EBITDA was $53.7 million, down 13% year over year but up about 1% sequentially.

Business aviation service revenue declined to $151.3 million, but military/government service revenue rose 40% year over year to $39.9 million and 20% sequentially, providing a growing, more stable revenue base. Total ATG aircraft online fell 15% year over year to 5,731, while Gogo Galileo aircraft online reached 184, up 66% from March 31, 2026, signaling early adoption of its LEO satellite offering. Free Cash Flow was $21.6 million, down from $33.5 million a year ago but improved from negative $19.2 million in Q1 2026.

Cash and cash equivalents were $63.1 million as of June 30, 2026, after a $40.0 million Satcom Direct earn-out payment and $21.1 million of term loan principal repayment. For full-year 2026, Gogo guides to total revenue of $870–$895 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $175–$185 million, and Free Cash Flow of $65–$85 million, including $22 million of litigation expense and $30 million of strategic investments.

Positive

  • Military/government service revenue rose 40% year over year to $39.9M, strengthening a durable revenue base.
  • Gogo Galileo and 5G are ramping, with 108 Galileo units shipped and 138 5G units sold in Q2 2026.
  • Full-year 2026 guidance targets $175–$185M Adjusted EBITDA and $65–$85M Free Cash Flow, despite higher litigation expense.

Negative

  • Results swung to a $2.0M net loss from $12.8M net income in Q2 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA declined 13% year over year to $53.7M, reflecting higher costs and litigation expense.
  • Total ATG aircraft online fell 15% year over year to 5,731, pressuring connectivity scale.
  • Free Cash Flow decreased to $21.6M from $33.5M in Q2 2025, while cash fell to $63.1M.

Filing Explained

Updated guidance embeds $22 million of litigation expense versus $8 million previously and assumes $45 million of FCC reimbursement in its Free Cash Flow range.

This August 6 Form 8-K reports the completed quarter ended June 30; its six-month cash-flow statement shows $25,064 thousand of operating cash provided, $22,571 thousand used in investing, and $64,639 thousand used in financing.

The release defines Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental non-GAAP measures; Free Cash Flow adds specified reimbursement and interest-cap proceeds to operating cash and subtracts capital spending and intangible purchases, rather than replacing GAAP operating cash flow.

The updated 2026 guidance includes $22 million of ongoing litigation expense, up from $8 million in the prior guidance. The $65 million to $85 million Free Cash Flow range also assumes $45 million of FCC reimbursement, making that reimbursement a stated dependency of the outlook.

2026 revenue guidance $870–$895 million Full-year 2026 total revenue outlook
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net loss of $2.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA1 of $53.7 million"
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 $21.6 million in Q2 2026 was down"
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.
Earnout Liability financial
"Change in fair value of Earnout Liability | | | 7,200"
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.
FCC Reimbursement Program regulatory
"This assumes $45 million in reimbursement from the FCC Reimbursement Program."
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.
Air-to-Ground technical
"The Gogo offering uniquely incorporates Air-to-Ground technology and access"
Air-to-ground describes communications or data links that connect an aircraft with equipment or networks on the ground, carrying voice, internet, flight data or control signals. Investors watch air-to-ground developments because they affect airlines, equipment makers and service providers through potential new revenue from in‑flight connectivity, regulatory approvals, safety and contractual wins or losses—similar to how a mobile phone network creates value by linking people to services on the ground.
Supplemental Type Certificates technical
"used to obtain Supplemental Type Certificates ("STC") approval to install"
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.
Total revenue $222.8 million down 1.4% vs Q2 2025 and 2% vs Q1 2026
Service revenue $191.3 million down 1% vs Q2 2025 and up 2% vs Q1 2026
Equipment revenue $31.5 million down 2% vs Q2 2025 and 18% vs Q1 2026
Net income (loss) ($2.0 million) from $12.8 million profit in Q2 2025 and $13.1 million in Q1 2026
Adjusted EBITDA $53.7 million down 13% vs Q2 2025 and up about 1% vs Q1 2026
Free Cash Flow $21.6 million down from $33.5 million in Q2 2025 and up from $(19.2) million in Q1 2026
Guidance

For full-year 2026, Gogo projects total revenue of $870–$895 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $175–$185 million including $5 million of strategic investments and $22 million of ongoing litigation expense, Free Cash Flow of $65–$85 million including $30 million of strategic investments, and net capital expenditures of $20 million assuming $45 million from the FCC Reimbursement Program.

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.

AVANCE aircraft online. We define AVANCE aircraft online as the total number of aircraft equipped with our AVANCE L5 or L3 system, excluding Gogo 5G systems, for which we provide ATG services to business aviation customers in the last month of the period presented. This number excludes military/government AVANCE aircraft online.
Gogo 5G aircraft online. We define Gogo 5G aircraft online as the total number of aircraft equipped with our Gogo 5G system for which we provide ATG services to business aviation customers in the last month of the period presented. This number excludes military/government Gogo 5G aircraft online.
Gogo Biz aircraft online. We define Gogo Biz aircraft online as the total number of aircraft not equipped with our AVANCE or Gogo 5G system for which we provide ATG services to business aviation customers in the last month of the period presented. This number excludes commercial aircraft operated by Intelsat’s airline customers as well as military/government aircraft 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 and military/government GEO aircraft online.
Gogo Galileo aircraft online. We define Gogo Galileo aircraft online as the total number of aircraft for which we provide Gogo Galileo LEO broadband services in the last month of the period presented. This number excludes military/government Gogo Galileo aircraft online. This metric was not presented prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as Gogo Galileo was only first deployed in 2025.
Average monthly connectivity service revenue per ATG aircraft online (“ARPU”). We define 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 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.
Gogo Galileo units shipped. We define Gogo Galileo units shipped as the number of Galileo units shipped to our distribution partners during the period, including units used to obtain Supplemental Type Certificates.

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) change in fair value of convertible note investment, and (iv) loss on extinguishment of debt . 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 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 the change in fair value of convertible note investment from Adjusted EBITDA because this activity is not related to our operating performance.

We believe it is useful for an understanding of our operating performance to exclude the loss on extinguishment of debt 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

12

 


 

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.
