MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

A strong new product pipeline drives our expectation for a substantial increase in shipments and activations for Gogo Galileo and 5G in 2026.

These developments are a critical part of our transformation from purely a domestic ATG provider to a global ultra-high speed inflight connectivity provider serving both the Business Aviation and Military Government markets.

The winding down of new product investment, sustained cost synergies from the Satcom Direct acquisition and an expected strong ramp of new product revenue lead to 2026 Free Cash Flow guidance of 12% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
