SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2024-25 RESULTS
Paris, 14 February 2025– The Board of Directors of Eutelsat Communications (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL), chaired by Dominique D’Hinnin, reviewed the financial results for the Half Year ended 31 December 2024.
Eva Berneke, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communications, said: “First Half revenues and profitability were in line with expectations, and enable us to confirm our objectives for the full year, while our gross capex landing is now expected at €500-600 million, a reduction of c. €200 million relative to previous estimates.
The past few months have seen the alignment of several factors paving the way for Eutelsat’s LEO build-out strategy: first, the exercise of the put option for the partial disposal of our passive ground activity, with proceeds due H1 calendar 2026 and second, confirmation of the European Union’s IRIS2 multi-orbit constellation representing a key step in Eutelsat’s LEO strategy, which in turn defines the road map for the interim LEO constellation extension. We are actively working on a financing plan in line with our strategic road map and longer term leverage objective.”
