Management Commentary

Adi Sfadia, Gilat’s CEO, commented: “Our revenue this quarter showed significant year over year growth as we continue to increase profitability reaching an Adjusted EBITDA of $4 million. We are especially pleased with our success in signing new deals, some of which are potentially transformable in nature and strategic.

“I am most excited about major progress this quarter in the NGSO and VHTS market segments.  Furthermore, we experienced improved performance and significant bookings in our strategic market segments including Cellular Backhual and IFC where we received several orders from key market players to be deliverd over the next few quarters.

“In our Peru operation we have made significant progress with awards of $28 million in multi-year service agreements, and achieved our target goal of approximately $50 million in annual recurring revenue from Peru, well before the stated target date.”

Continued Mr. Sfadia, “Although the global supply chain presents challenges, so far we have been able to mitigate these issues and we hope that this will continue to be the case. Looking ahead, given the recent wins and awards as well as the strong and improving momentum we are seeing across our business, we are increasingly confident that we will show significant growth in the top line and in the Adjusted EBITDA, both in Q4 of this year and in 2022.”
