Q4 FY23 SHAREHOLDER LETTER

Fellow Shareholders, On April 30, 2023 at 8:26 PM EDT, ViaSat-3 Americas lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, launching Viasat into its next era as a global communications services company, delivering high-volume, affordable bandwidth across mobility, consumer, enterprise and government applications. ViaSat-3 Americas has since successfully deployed its solar arrays and arrived at its final orbital location earlier this week. Commencement of commercial services is expected in mid-summer. The successful launch marked a great way to begin fiscal year 2024 (FY2024), with more to come. The ViaSat-3 EMEA satellite is now on pace to launch later this calendar year, with the ViaSat-3 APAC satellite not much further behind. Once deployed the ViaSat-3 constellation is expected to increase our space network capacity by a factor of 8x. The beginning of the ViaSat-3 era coincides with several other important strategic developments. At the outset of Q4 FY2023 we completed the sale of our Link-16 Tactical Data Links business (Link-16 TDL Business) for approximately $1.9 billion (Link-16 TDL Sale), which yielded a gain of $1.7 billion. A portion of the proceeds was applied to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, with the remainder increasing our liquidity to $2.0 billion at fiscal year-end. Our planned acquisition of Inmarsat is also nearing completion, as we continue to work constructively with Inmarsat and regulators towards an anticipated closing by month end. We believe the transaction will diversify our satellite services revenue sources with a greater emphasis on global mobility, leverage complementary space systems, deliver more service options sooner for customers, and enable operational and capital synergies. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow on a per share basis, with incremental value creation opportunities from integration and execution of our combined strategy. Our financial results for “continuing operations” exclude the results from our Link-16 TDL Business in all periods. Financial results for the Link-16 TDL Business are presented as “discontinued operations” and include the impact of the $1.7 billion gain on the Link-16 TDL Sale. “Right-sizing” charges associated with stranded costs following the Link-16 TDL Sale are included in our financial results for continuing operations and excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Our total results of operations include both continuing operations and discontinued operations. FY2023 presented a challenging macro environment including ViaSat-3 program costs ahead of its delayed launch, bandwidth constraints on our fixed broadband business, government security product certification delays and supply chain bottlenecks, and delayed delivery of new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to our airline customers that slowed monetization of healthy award volumes. Nonetheless, we achieved new records in awards and revenue from continuing operations for FY2023 at $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion respectively. Consolidated FY2023 net income of $1.1 billion was lifted significantly by the gain from the Link-16 TDL Sale. Our net loss from continuing operations increased to $218 million while Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew to $501 million, an increase of over 5% YoY. In Q4 FY2023, we saw revenue from continuing operations grow 10% YoY to $666 million with our net loss from continuing operations increasing modestly to $62 million. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew 21% YoY to $124 million, led by Government Systems and commercial air in-flight connectivity (IFC) businesses, partially offset by lower fixed broadband revenue as we allocated a greater proportion of our bandwidth to significant growth in IFC service demand. We also implemented actions to reduce stranded costs associated with the Link-16 TDL Sale that are expected to save the company approximately $40 million annually. We exited the fiscal year building momentum in both government and satellite services. In Government Systems, the U.S. government resumed issuing certifications for new cybersecurity products, which drove significant YoY revenue growth in the quarter. We grew our in service IFC commercial fleet to 2,230 aircraft, added Etihad Airways as a new airline partner and expanded Delta Air Lines’ free Wi-Fi initiative, which increased bandwidth demand, and revenue, along with greater passenger engagement. We continued market testing and analysis of new ViaSat-3 era fixed broadband plans offering significantly higher speeds and more bandwidth per subscriber. Entering FY2024 we also welcomed a new member of our leadership team, K. Guru Gowrappan, who joins as President. Guru’s previous position was CEO of Verizon Media, the former media division of Verizon that included Yahoo, AOL, Huffington Post, Techcrunch and other media brands. He is a highly accomplished leader with expertise in integrating large technology operations, operating scaled internet platforms and creating powerful global partnerships. Guru further strengthens a team already energized by the transformational opportunities afforded by our global mobility strategy and the pending Inmarsat acquisition. Reaching this vital inflection point has been long in the making, but our team is well-prepared and ready to deliver. Shareholder Letter | Q4 Fiscal Year 2023 1

Revenue from commercial air IFC services grew sequentially, driven primarily by the addition of 120 aircraft in service. $421 Activations for both new aircraft and retrofits remain constrained by new $368 aircraft delivery delays from both major aircraft suppliers. IFC service revenue growth was partially offset by lower fixed broadband revenue in the U.S. due to capacity constraints ahead of ViaSat-3 Americas service launch. With Awards Revenue Adj.

EBITDA $ in millions Q4 FY2023 Commercial Networks segment awards increased 45% YoY to $223 million, driven primarily by commercial air IFC terminals, satellite networking programs and antenna systems products. Future aircraft $751 installs under contract continued to grow for both existing and new $613 customers. Collectively for the segment, backlog ended the quarter $512 $421 at $770 million, a 22% increase YoY. Revenue In Q4 FY2023, Commercial Networks revenue was $153 million, an ($121) ($44) increase of 28% YoY. Commercial air products delivered approximately 180 IFC terminals in the quarter and over 575 IFC terminals for FY2023, Awards Revenue Adj. EBITDA eclipsing a strong FY2022 that delivered over 450 IFC terminals. FY22 FY23 Adjusted EBITDA Commercial Networks Q4 FY2023 Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $18 million, an improvement of 53% YoY. Higher contribution from commercial air IFC terminals alongside reduced R&D expenditures from satellite payload and ground network development were the major drivers of the YoY improvement. ViaSat-3 Update ViaSat-3 Americas has arrived at its orbital slot and executed initial deployments, with initial service targeted for mid-summer 2023. The ViaSat-3 EMEA satellite is undergoing testing at Boeing and is scheduled for launch later this calendar year. The ViaSat-3 APAC payload module was recently delivered to Boeing for spacecraft integration. Shareholder Letter | Q4 Fiscal Year 2023 6

Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Liquidity OPERATING CASH FLOW Operating Cash Flow $ in millions Viasat generated $50 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, a decrease of $69 million YoY and $39 million sequentially. The YoY comparison reflects the decrease in operating results associated $188 with the divestiture of the Link-16 TDL Business and related sale costs, along with increased working capital in accounts receivable $119 $89 $50 tied to higher revenues in our commercial air IFC business and an $40 end-of-quarter surge in cybersecurity product business plus higher overall levels of inventory for expected product revenue growth next Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 year. The sequential comparison primarily reflects the decrease in FY22 FY23 FY23 FY23 FY23 operating results associated with the divestiture of the Link-16 TDL Business and related sale costs. Capital Expenditure CAPITAL EXPENDITURE $ in millions Q4 FY2023 capital expenditures were $314 million, an increase of 12% YoY. The increase was primarily due to higher expenditures on customer premise equipment in anticipation of ViaSat-3 commercial service launch in the Americas partially offset by lower infrastructure $284 $296 $314 $279 $271 spend and slightly lower satellite capital expenditures for the ViaSat-3 constellation program. Debt and Leverage With the closing of the Link-16 TDL Sale, we significantly increased Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY22 FY23 FY23 FY23 FY23 liquidity and applied a portion of the net proceeds to repay the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Net debt decreased $1.6 billion to $1.1 billion at the end of Q4 FY2023, while net NET DEBT & NET LEVERAGE RATIO7 leverage decreased to 2.0x LTM Adjusted EBITDA. During the quarter, $ in millions (except net leverage) our liquidity increased to $2.0 billion, which includes $1.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and the undrawn revolving credit facility. 4.7x 4.2x 4.2x 3.6x $2,791 2.0x $2,443 $2,571 $2,214 $1,141 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY22 FY23 FY23 FY23 FY23 Shareholder Letter | Q4 Fiscal Year 2023 7

Outlook We ended FY2023 with several positive developments and increasing momentum across all of our businesses. Q4 FY2023 saw resolution of certain certification bottlenecks for encryption products, good growth in IFC aircraft in service, new IFC airline awards and implementation of non-recurring “right sizing” steps associated with the Link-16 TDL Sale. We anticipate commencing initial commercial service on ViaSat-3 Americas in mid-summer. ViaSat-3 EMEA is expected to launch later this calendar year and enter commercial service around the beginning of FY2025, due to a longer orbit-raising duration. For the full year FY2024 (on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the pending Inmarsat acquisition) we expect Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to grow in the high single digits to low double digits YoY – despite increasing global ViaSat-3 operating expenses ahead of entry into commercial service. Cash flow from continuing operations is also expected to improve YoY driven by Adjusted EBITDA growth and an improvement in working capital. FY2024 capital expenditures are anticipated to be flat compared to FY2023, with the final ViaSat-3 Americas launch related payments having shifted between the fiscal years. Our investment mix is expected to become more success-based as we return to net subscriber growth in our U.S. fixed broadband business over the course of FY2024. Finally, we expect net leverage to improve somewhat to what we communicated last quarter, at approximately ~3.7x at the end of FY2024, on a stand-alone basis (excluding effects of the Inmarsat transaction). We expect Q1 FY2024 to be impacted by launch-related costs for ViaSat-3 Americas, increased advertising and ground network expenses, seasonality in our government segment and IFC services and continued bandwidth constraints in U.S. fixed broadband prior to ViaSat-3 Americas entering commercial service. The quarterly profile of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to improve sequentially throughout the year due to expected equipment delivery and aircraft activations in IFC and resumption of net growth in the U.S. fixed broadband business, offset to some extent by expenses associated with additional ground network activation and the launch of ViaSat-3 EMEA. Longer term (on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the pending Inmarsat acquisition), we expect to achieve faster growth in our continuing operations in FY2025, as we scale into the new ViaSat-3 constellation. We believe that we would achieve our stand-alone FY2025 target of doubling revenue and more than doubling continuing operations Adjusted EBITDA relative to FY2020. We would also expect to see capital expenditures continue to decline, with lower satellite-related investments partially offset by success-based expenditures. Our recent ViaSat-3 Americas launch was an important step towards a free cash flow turning point, which we target on a stand-alone basis shortly after ViaSat-3 EMEA enters commercial service. We anticipate providing additional information regarding our combined outlook, giving effect to the Inmarsat transaction next quarter – assuming the transaction closes in the intervening time. Sincerely, Mark Dankberg Shareholder Letter | Q4 Fiscal Year 2023 8

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information To supplement Viasat’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Viasat uses non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures Viasat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Viasat’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to Viasat’s historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables below. Copyright © 2023 Viasat, Inc. All rights reserved.

⁽¹⁾  Attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders.

⁽²⁾  As the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 financial information resulted in a net loss from continuing operations, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as diluted shares would be anti-dilutive. However, as the non-GAAP financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2022 resulted in non-GAAP net income, 78.0 million, 75.5 million and 74.8 million, respectively, diluted weighted average number of shares were used instead to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share.

⁽³⁾  Awards exclude future revenue under recurring consumer commitment arrangements.

⁽⁴⁾ Amounts include certain backlog adjustments due to contract changes and amendments. Our backlog includes contracts with subscribers for fixed broadband services in our Satellite Services segment. Backlog does not include anticipated purchase orders and requests for the installation of in-flight connectivity systems or future recurring in-flight internet service revenues under our commercial in-flight internet agreements in our Commercial Networks and Satellite Services segments, respectively.

⁽⁵⁾  Before corporate and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

⁽⁶⁾  Amounts include awards from discontinued operations of $384.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023.

⁽⁷⁾  These amounts were recasted to include certain corporate and other indirect costs previously allocated to the discontinued business that have been reallocated across all three segments for the periods presented.

⁽⁸⁾  Net income (loss) as used herein is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc. common stockholders, and includes net income (loss) from both continuing and discontinued operations.

⁽⁹⁾  Amounts include both continuing and discontinued operations, excluding the Q4 FY2023 gain on the Link-16 TDL Sale.

* Percentage not meaningful.

** Amounts are not comparable due to the Link-16 TDL Sale.
