NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

November 4, 2019

Maxar Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

Westminster, CO –Maxar Technologies (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR) (“Maxar” or the “Company”), a trusted partner and innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. All dollar amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Key points from the quarter include:

· Consolidated revenues of $479 million

· Net loss of $0.44 per share

· Adjusted EBITDA1 of $128 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 margin of 26.7 percent

1This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this earnings release.

“We continued to make solid progress this quarter on our near-term priorities to position Maxar for sustained top and bottom-line growth, including efforts to reduce debt and leverage levels, re-engineer the Space Solutions business, position our Imagery, Services, and MDA businesses for long-term growth, and create a leaner, more agile organization with a reduced cost structure,” stated Dan Jablonsky, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Jablonsky continued, “We recently signed a sale-lease back transaction on a facility in Palo Alto, California that we expect to reduce debt and leverage, and we garnered important wins in our Space Systems business, including initial work on Canadarm3 and the TEMPO instrument for NASA. We also saw solid bookings and revenue growth in our Imagery and Services segments, including a four-year contract award for our Global-EGD service, a program to support a GEOINT Cloud Architecture for US Air Force, and the addition of another country to the installed base for the Company’s Rapid and Direct Access Program.”

“Third quarter results were largely consistent with expectations,” stated Biggs Porter, Chief Financial Officer. “Adjusted EBITDA benefited from recent restructuring and reshaping efforts in Space Systems as well as growth in Services and Imagery. Our leverage and debt levels remain in-line with expectations and are expected to improve with the sale-lease back transaction on the Palo Alto facility.”

Total revenues decreased to $479 million from $509 million, or by $30 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by a $43 million decrease in the Space Systems segment. The decrease was partially offset by a $10 million increase in the Imagery segment and an $11 million increase in revenues in the Services segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net loss of $26 million compared to net loss of $289 million in the comparative period of 2018. The increase is primarily driven by impairment losses taken in the third quarter of 2018 that did not occur in 2019.

For the third quarter of 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $128 million and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of consolidated revenues (“Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage”) was 26.7%. This is compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $105 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage of 20.6% for the third quarter of 2018. The increase was driven largely by higher Adjusted EBITDA from the Space Systems and Imagery segments, partially offset by higher corporate and other expenses.

The Company had total order backlog of $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2019 compared to $2.4 billion as at December 31, 2018. Backlog decreased primarily due to declines in backlog in our Imagery segment partially offset by an increase in our Space Systems segment and Services segment backlog as a result of new awards during the quarter. Imagery backlog declined primarily due to the

1

recognition of EnhancedView revenue during the quarter and the loss of our WorldView-4 satellite. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 unfunded contract options totaled $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Financial Highlights

In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of its financial and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes these supplementary financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in its business.

		2019			2018			2019			2018
($ millions)
Revenues	$	220		$	263		$	751		$	886
Adjusted EBITDA	$	11		$	(7)		$	49		$	34
Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage		5.0	%		(2.7)	%		6.5	%		3.8	%

Revenues from the Space Systems segment decreased to $220 million from $263 million, or by $43 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. Revenues decreased primarily as a result of the impact of reduced volume in our geostationary satellite manufacturing business (“GeoComm”), lower revenues on the RCM program in Canada which launched in the second quarter of 2019, lower volumes on other programs and increases in estimated costs to complete programs during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. An increase in estimated costs to complete directly impacts revenues, as revenues are recognized over time under the cost-to-cost method.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $11 million from a loss of $7 million, or by $18 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in the Space Systems segment is primarily related to reduced research and development spend of $26 million and headcount reductions from restructuring initiatives resulting in cost reductions. These increases were partially offset by decreases from the effects of lower revenues and higher estimated costs to complete on certain projects within the Space Systems segment.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	140		$	129		$	384		$	396
Adjusted EBITDA Margin		63.6	%		61.4	%		61.8	%		62.6	%

Imagery segment revenues increased to $220 million from $210 million, or by $10 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of $9 million of revenue as a result of the signing of a previously delayed contract with an existing international customer, $11 million in revenue growth from the U.S. government and an increase in revenue from international governments. These increases were partially offset by the loss of $14 million of WorldView-4 revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $140 million from $129 million, or by $11 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of revenue as a result of the signing of a previously delayed contract with an existing international customer. Adjusted EBITDA was also impacted by a decrease in costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period of 2018.

Services

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,

Adjusted EBITDA	$	9		$	9		$	22		$	19
Adjusted EBITDA Margin		12.3	%		14.5	%		10.2	%		9.6	%

Services segment revenues increased to $73 million from $62 million, or by $11 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period of 2018. The increases were primarily driven by growth from new contract awards and expansion of programs with the U.S. government.

Adjusted EBITDA was $9 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of the

3

increase in revenues on Adjusted EBITDA was offset by a change in an expense related to a lease.

Corporate and other expenses

Corporate and other expenses include items such as corporate office costs, regulatory costs, executive and director compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses, retention costs, and fees for legal and consulting services.

Corporate and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 were $19 million. These expenses were impacted by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and a decrease in an expense related to a business dispute in 2018, which did not reoccur in 2019. These decreases were primarily offset by an increase in retention costs at Space Solutions and an increase in foreign exchange losses.

Intersegment eliminations

Intersegment eliminations are related to projects between our segments, including WorldView Legion. Intersegment eliminations have increased for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 primarily related to an increase in intersegment activity.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental indicators of our financial and operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA and AdjustedEBITDA.

We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for certain items affecting comparability as specified in the calculation. Certain items affecting comparability include restructuring, impairments, satellite insurance recovery, CEO severance and transaction and integration related expense. Transaction and integration related expense includes costs associated with de-leveraging activities, acquisitions and dispositions and the integration of acquisitions. Management believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures to manage our business, evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure being used as a key element of our incentive compensation plan. The Syndicated Credit Facility also uses Adjusted EBITDA in the determination of our debt leverage covenant ratio. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the Syndicated Credit Facility includes a more comprehensive set of adjustments.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, provide useful information to investors by facilitating the comparability of our ongoing operating results over the periods presented, the ability to identify trends in our underlying business, and the comparison of our operating results against analyst financial models and operating results of other public companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and may not be defined similarly by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net (loss) income as indications of financial performance or as alternate to cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under U.S. GAAP. The table below reconciles our net (loss) income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
