Iridium Communications (IRDM) Q2-25 10-Q highlights
Revenue rose 8% YoY to $216.9 m, led by IoT data +8% and a 62% jump in engineering & support from Space Development Agency work. Services (72% of total) inched up 2% to $155.6 m; government EMSS revenue was $26.8 m. Voice/data stayed flat while broadband slipped 6% as Certus is increasingly used as a back-up service.
Operating expenses grew 6%, but operating income improved 15% to $50.3 m (23% margin). Net income fell 32% to $22.0 m ($0.20 diluted EPS) because last year’s quarter contained a $17.7 m gain on equity investments; excluding that, core profit expanded.
For the first six months, cash from operations climbed 25% to $190.7 m; after $45.3 m of capex, free cash flow was roughly $145 m. Cash balances declined to $79.3 m as the company drew $50 m on its revolver and repurchased 4.9 m shares for $135 m. Long-term secured debt stands at $1.81 bn; leverage covenants remain in compliance.
Equity dropped to $473.6 m after buybacks, dividends ($31.2 m) and a $12.2 m hedge mark-to-market loss. A quarterly dividend increase to $0.15/sh was approved for payment on 30 Sep 2025. $295 m remains under the $1.5 bn repurchase authorization.
Outlook: management expects recently announced service-price increases to boost voice/data revenue in H2-25 and sees continuing growth from PNT and SDA contracts.
