Gogo Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Raises 2015 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
Record quarterly revenue up 22 percent to $126 million
Chicago, Ill., November 5, 2015 – Gogo Inc. (Nasdaq: GOGO), the global leader in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless in-flight entertainment to the aviation industry, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Gogo’s quarterly revenue increased to $126.4 million, up 22% year-over-year; service revenue increased to $107.2 million, up 31% year-over-year; and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $9.7 million, up 738% or $8.5 million year-over-year.
“We are extremely pleased with our strong financial performance for the quarter, and even more pleased with the flight test results of 2Ku, our next generation global connectivity solution, and that portends great things for our future,” said Gogo’s President and CEO, Michael Small. “2Ku is the first truly global broadband highway in the sky. It enables real-time streaming and live television programming and unlocks the full potential of the connected aircraft on a global basis. Eight airlines have selected this industry-leading technology since we first announced it a year and a half ago, a pace of adoption that’s unprecedented in our industry.”
Third Quarter 2015 Consolidated Financial Results
| • | Revenue increased to $126.4 million, up 22% from $104.0 million in Q3 2014. Service revenue increased to $107.2 million, up 31% from $81.6 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | Combined segment profit of CA-NA and BA increased to $30 million, up 46% from $20.5 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA increased to $9.7 million, up 738% or $8.5 million from $1.2 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | Cash CAPEX decreased to $11.8 million, down 60% from $29.8 million in Q3 2014, driven primarily by lower spend on airborne equipment. |
| • | As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $388.0 million. |
Third Quarter 2015 Business Segment Financial Results
Commercial Aviation - North America (CA-NA)
| • | Total revenue increased to $78.6 million, up 24% from $63.3 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | During the quarter, we installed 114 aircraft and our airline partners retired 51 installed aircraft, primarily due to fleet-refresh programs. As a result, we ended the quarter with 2,312 aircraft online. |
| • | Average monthly service revenue per aircraft online, or ARPA, increased to $11,303, up 12% year-over-year, driven primarily by connectivity service price increases. Estimated ARPA growth excluding the impact of regional jets would have been approximately 20% year-over-year. |
| • | Segment profit increased to $11.8 million, up $6.3 million year-over-year, as a result of strong service revenue growth and increased operating leverage. Segment profit as a percent of segment revenue increased to 15% in Q3 2015, up from 9% in Q3 2014. |
Business Aviation (BA)
| • | Service revenue increased to $26 million, up 38% from $18.9 million in Q3 2014, driven primarily by a 26% increase in ATG systems online to 3,314 at September 30, 2015 compared to 2,637 at September 30, 2014. |
| • | Equipment revenue decreased to $18.3 million, down 15% from $21.4 million in Q3 2014, driven primarily by a decrease in satellite and ATG units shipped. |
| • | Total segment revenue increased to $44.2 million, up 10% from $40.2 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | Segment profit increased to $18.2 million, up 21% from $15.0 million in Q3 2014. Segment profit as a percentage of segment revenue increased to 41% in Q3 2015, up from 37% in Q3 2014. |
Commercial Aviation - Rest of World (CA-ROW)
| • | We ended the quarter with 160 aircraft online and approximately 400 aircraft awarded but not yet installed. |
| • | Revenue increased to $3.6 million, up 563% or $3.1 million from $0.5 million in Q3 2014. |
| • | Segment loss increased to $19.9 million, up 3% from $19.4 million in Q3 2014, due primarily to increased expenses related to the development and certification of our next generation products and technologies. |
| • | We have been testing 2Ku, our industry-leading global satellite connectivity technology, on our test plane since August, and results have surpassed our expectations. We have seen speed test results consistently above 12 Mbps to a device even as we have simultaneously streamed videos on more than 40 devices. |
Recent Developments
| • | Japan Transocean Air selected Gogo’s 2Ku in-flight connectivity and in-flight entertainment services for its new Boeing 737-800 aircraft fleet. |
| • | BA announced the introduction of the Gogo Biz 4G connectivity product, which provides business aviation aircraft with streaming video and audio capabilities. |
| • | Gogo formed a partnership with Ultramain Systems, a developer of airline operational software, to connect its industry leading aircraft maintenance applications. This partnership enhances our connected aircraft strategy by allowing airlines to process and analyze maintenance data in real-time. |
Business Outlook
For the full year ending December 31, 2015, we are raising our Adjusted EBITDA guidance. We now expect Adjusted EBITDA of $30 million to $35 million for the full year 2015 and maintain our prior revenue and Cash CAPEX guidance.
Accordingly, our updated full year guidance is as follows:
| • | Total revenue of $485 million to $505 million |
| • | CA-NA revenue of $300 million to $320 million |
| • | BA revenue of $170 million to $180 million |
| • | CA-ROW revenue of $10 million to $15 million |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA of $30 million to $35 million |
| • | Cash CAPEX of $100 million to $120 million |
“Because of our strong profitability trend, we now expect to exceed our previous 2015 Adjusted EBITDA guidance,” said Gogo’s Executive Vice President and CFO, Norman Smagley. “Going forward, we also expect strong growth in revenue and profitability supported by the aggressive roll out of 2Ku.”
Conference Call
The third quarter conference call will be held on November 5th, 2015 at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share and Cash CAPEX in the supplemental tables below. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CAPEX for business planning purposes, including managing our business against internally projected results of operations and measuring our performance and liquidity. Management prepares Adjusted Net Loss Per Share for investors, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements for use in evaluating our performance under our current capital structure. These supplemental performance measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss Per Share and Cash CAPEX are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to net loss attributable to common stock, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss Per Share in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net loss attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Cash CAPEX in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated capital expenditures when evaluating our liquidity.

Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not place undue reliance on them.

| • | Aircraft online. We define aircraft online as the total number of commercial aircraft on which our ATG network equipment is installed and Gogo service has been made commercially available as of the last day of each period presented. |
| • | Average monthly service revenue per aircraft online (“ARPA”). We define ARPA as the aggregate service revenue for the period divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the number of aircraft online during the period (expressed as an average of the month end figures for each month in such period). |
| • | Gross passenger opportunity (“GPO”). We define GPO as the aggregate number of passengers who board commercial aircraft on which Gogo service has been available during the period presented. When available directly from airline partners, we aggregate actual passenger counts across flights on Gogo-equipped aircraft. When not available directly from our airline partners, we estimate GPO. Estimated GPO is calculated by first estimating the number of flights occurring on each Gogo-equipped aircraft, then multiplying by the number seats on that aircraft, and finally multiplying by a seat factor that is determined from historical information provided to us in arrears by our airline partners. The estimated number of flights are derived from real-time flight information provided to our front-end systems by Air Radio Inc. (ARINC), direct airline feeds, and supplementary third-party data sources. These aircraft-level estimates are then aggregated with actual airline-provided passenger counts to obtain total GPO. |
| • | Total average revenue per passenger opportunity (“ARPP”). We define ARPP as revenue from Gogo Connectivity, Gogo Vision, and other service revenue for the period, divided by GPO for the period. |
| • | Total average revenue per session (“ARPS”). We define ARPS as revenue from Gogo Connectivity, excluding non-session related revenue, divided by the total number of sessions during the period. A session, or a “use” of Gogo Connectivity, is defined as the use by a unique passenger of Gogo Connectivity on a flight segment. Multiple logins or purchases under the same user name during one flight segment count as only one session. |
| • | Connectivity take rate. We define connectivity take rate as the number of sessions during the period expressed as a percentage of GPO. Included in our connectivity take-rate calculation are sessions for which we did not receive revenue, including those provided pursuant to free promotional campaigns and, to a lesser extent, as a result of complimentary passes distributed by our customer service representatives for unforeseen technical issues. For the periods listed above, the number of sessions for which we did not receive revenue was not material. |

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to common stock before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization of other intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives. Our management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that, management believes, have less bearing on our operating performance, thereby highlighting trends in our core business which may not otherwise be apparent. It also provides an assessment of controllable expenses, which are indicators management uses to determine whether current spending decisions need to be adjusted in order to meet financial goals and achieve optimal financial performance.
We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate given the significant variation in expense that can result from using the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of such compensation. The fair value of our stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes model and varies based on fluctuations in the assumptions used in this model, including inputs that are not necessarily directly related to the performance of our business, such as the expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the options. Therefore, we believe the exclusion of this cost provides a clearer view of the operating performance of our business. Further, stock option grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time. While we believe that investors should have information about any dilutive effect of outstanding options and the cost of that compensation, we also believe that stockholders should have the ability to consider our performance using a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these costs and that management uses to evaluate our business.
We believe the exclusion of the amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives from Adjusted EBITDA is useful as it allows an investor to view operating performance across time periods in a manner consistent with how management measures segment profit and loss (see Note 14, “Business Segments and Major Customers” for a description of segment profit (loss) in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Management evaluates segment profit and loss in this manner, excluding the amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives, because such presentation reflects operating decisions and activities from the current period, without regard to the prior period decision or the form of connectivity agreements. See “—Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations—Cost of Service Revenue—Commercial Aviation North America and Rest of World” in our 2014 10-K for a discussion of the accounting treatment of deferred airborne lease incentives.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides investors, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management.
Adjusted Net Loss Per Share represents net loss attributable to common stock per share—basic and diluted, adjusted to reflect the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2015 under our current capital structure, after giving effect to the shares of our common stock effectively repurchased as part of the Forward Transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. We present Adjusted Net Loss Per Share to provide investors, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance considering our current capital structure and the shares outstanding after giving effect to the Forward Transactions.
Cash CAPEX represents capital expenditures net of airborne equipment proceeds received from the airlines and incentives paid to us by landlords under certain facilities leases. We believe Cash CAPEX provides a more representative indication of our liquidity requirements with respect to capital expenditures, as under certain agreements with our airline partners we are reimbursed for all or a substantial portion of the cost of our airborne equipment, thereby reducing our cash capital requirements.
