Management Commentary

Adi Sfadia, Gilat's CEO, commented: “ Our results in the quarter showed significant revenue growth of 58% year-over-year which translated into adjusted EBITDA of over $10 million, 10 times our levels in Q4 last year, an impressive achievement in a challenging year. These results, among others, reflect the opportunities and trends we are witnessing and have mentioned several times over the past year.”

"We recently launched SkyEdge IV, Gilat's next-generation multi-orbit, software-centric platform, that will improve operational efficiencies. I am proud to report that we recently closed major deals on this new platform with both Intelsat and SES, of which a significant portion were software licenses. We expect that with SkyEdge IV we will further increase our market share and strengthen our leadership position in our major focus areas of Mobility, 4G/5G Cellular Backhaul, Enterprise and Defense.

“Looking back at 2021, it was a remarkable year due to four major accomplishments. First, in the NGSO and VHTS segments we had two outstanding achievements: we were awarded a sizeable deal for a multi-year contract with the potential of hundreds of millions of dollars, to customize and provide our leading technology for NGSO constellations. Upon signing this contract, we received the first multi-million-dollar purchase order for initial units. We also received more than $40 million dollars in orders from a leading satellite operator to support a Low Earth Orbit Constellation.

"The second major accomplishment in 2021 was in fortifying our Mobility leadership in a multimillion dollar deal for SkyEdge IV, which provides Gilat access to top cruise lines and maritime service providers that will use SES’s O3b mPOWER as well as their geostationary fleet.

"The third major accomplishment during the year was in Peru, where we reached, ahead of our stated objectives, our goal of a $50 million run rate in annual recurring revenue. We expect that in 2022 we will turn the corner in Peru and our business there will become significantly profitable.

"And finally, we expanded our strategic relationship with Intelsat for commercial aviation in North America and Asia, demonstrating continued IFC market recovery."

Mr. Sfadia concluded, “As we enter 2022, I am very encouraged by our strong backlog, solid visibility and the pipeline we see ahead of us. We therefore feel confident in resuming our annual objectives which show strong growth in revenues and significant improvement in profitability for 2022.”

Unaudited Results
The attached summary unaudited financial statements represent the most current information available to management. Audited results will be reported in our annual report on Form 20-F.

Non-GAAP Measures
The attached summary unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents Non-GAAP presentations of net income, operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share. The adjustments to the Company’s GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results, trends and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures mainly exclude the effect of stock based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, lease incentive amortization, litigation expenses, income related to trade secrets claims, restructuring and reorganization costs, merger, acquisition and related litigation expense (income), impairment of held for sale assets, and one-time changes of deferred tax assets.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and evaluate the Company’s financial and operating results on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company also believes this measure, when viewed in combination with the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides useful information to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. Reconciliation between the Company's Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached summary financial statements.

Non-GAAP presentations of net income, operating income, Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Gilat’s operating performance or liquidity.
