Telesat today announced its financial results for the three-month
and one-year periods ended December 31, 2020. All amounts are in
Canadian dollars and reported under International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) unless otherwise noted.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, Telesat
reported consolidated revenue of $820 million, a decrease of 10%
($90 million) compared to the same period in 2019. When adjusted
for changes in foreign exchange rates, revenue decreased 10% ($87
million) compared to 2019. The revenue decrease was due to lower
short-term services provided to other satellite operators, a
reduction of service for a broadcast customer, the completion of
the non-cash amortization of a significant financing component of
an agreement, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly
on customers serving the aeronautical and maritime markets.
Operating expenses were $181 million, an increase of 9% ($15
million) from 2019. Operating expenses increased because of higher
bad debt expense related to customers impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, higher professional fees related to Telesat’s proposed
roll-up transaction, higher in-orbit insurance expense, and higher
wages due principally to increased headcount to support the
development of the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
satellite constellation. Foreign exchange rate changes did not have
a material impact on operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $653
million, a decrease of 14% ($109 million) or, when adjusted for
foreign exchange rates, a decrease of 14% ($106 million). The
Adjusted EBITDA margin1 for 2020 was 79.6%, compared to 83.7% in
2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income
was $246 million, compared to net income of $187 million for 2019.
The increase in net income for the year was principally the result
of a 2019 loss on refinancing which did not re-occur in 2020, lower
interest expense and a lower non-cash loss on financial
instruments, partially offset by lower operating income and lower
non-cash foreign exchange gains arising from the translation of
Telesat’s U.S. dollar denominated debt into Canadian dollars.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2020,
consolidated revenue was $202 million, a decrease of 8% ($18
million) compared to the same period in 2019. Adjusted for foreign
exchange rate changes, revenue declined 7% ($16 million). The
decrease was primarily due to the non-re-occurrence in 2020 of
short-term services provided to other satellite operators.
Operating expenses of $47 million for the
quarter were 7% ($3 million) lower than the same period in 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter was $160 million, a decrease of 8%
($15 million) compared to the same period in 2019. Adjusted for
changes in foreign exchange rates, Adjusted EBITDA1 declined by 7%
($13 million) compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The Adjusted
EBITDA margin1 for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 79.5%, compared
to 79.6% in the same period in 2019.
Telesat’s net income for the quarter was $255
million compared to net income of $3 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2019. The $253 million difference was the result of a
non-re-occurring loss on refinancing in 2019, higher non-cash gains
on foreign exchange arising principally from the translation of
Telesat’s U.S. dollar denominated debt into Canadian dollars in the
fourth quarter of 2020, and lower interest expense.
“Our full year results reflect certain factors
that we anticipated, namely the non-renewal in late 2019 of a
contract with a North American DTH customer and the end of the
revenue amortization period of a contract with another customer, as
well as certain factors that we did not anticipate, namely a
paucity of opportunities to provide short-term satellite services
to other satellite operators and the COVID-19 pandemic,” commented
Dan Goldberg, Telesat’s President and CEO. “These anticipated
and unanticipated factors account for our reduced revenue and
Adjusted EBITDA1. Having said that, we continued to generate strong
cash flows and maintained high operating margins and a substantial
contractual backlog, which provides high visibility into our future
performance.”
Goldberg added: “I am particularly pleased with
the progress we made last year and in the past few weeks on laying
the foundations for our future growth, including our recent
announcement that we selected Thales Alenia Space to build our
revolutionary Lightspeed global broadband LEO satellite
constellation and the announcement that the Government of Quebec
will be making a significant investment in that important program.
Lightspeed will give Telesat and our customers a decisive
competitive advantage in serving the enterprise broadband
connectivity market, helping to bridge the digital divide around
the world and fueling our growth for years to come. I am also
pleased with the progress we are making in transforming Telesat
into a publicly listed company and in extracting value from our
desirable C-band spectrum rights, both of which will help us fund
our compelling growth plans. In sum, last year was a productive one
for Telesat and we remain focused on maintaining the strong
momentum we have as we execute our growth plans going forward.”
Business Highlights
• At December 31, 2020:
- Telesat had contracted backlog2 for
future services of approximately $2.7 billion.
- Fleet utilization was 81% across
Telesat’s fleet.
• Telesat Lightspeed Constellation
- On February 9, 2021, Telesat
announced that it entered into an agreement with Thales Alenia
Space (TAS) to be the prime manufacturer of the Telesat Lightspeed
constellation and that TAS and its affiliate Telespazio have made a
Lightspeed capacity commitment in connection with the agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, the parties have provided for the
advancement of the program while the financing for the project is
being finalized.
- On February 18, 2021, Telesat
announced that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Government of Québec for an investment of $400 million
into Telesat Lightspeed. Under the terms of the MOU, the investment
by the Government of Québec will consist of $200 million in
preferred equity as well as a $200 million loan. It is expected
that a final agreement will be completed in the coming months.
• Public Company
- On November 23, 2020, Telesat
Canada announced that it entered into an agreement with Loral Space
& Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: LORL) (Loral) and Public Sector
Pension Investment Board pursuant to which Telesat Canada and Loral
will become subsidiaries of Telesat Corporation, a new publicly
traded Canadian incorporated and controlled company. The
shares of Telesat Corporation will be listed on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market at the closing of the transaction and Telesat is also
considering a listing on a Canadian stock exchange. The
transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of
2021, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, the
approval of Loral’s stockholders, and other customary
conditions.
• Repurposing of C-Band Spectrum
- The U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has adopted a plan to repurpose a portion of the
C-band spectrum presently used by satellite operators for 5G. In
doing so, the FCC provided that Telesat would receive as much as
US$344.4 million from the repurposing of C-band spectrum provided
that we can meet certain requirements. We currently believe we can
meet all the requirements to receive the US$344.4 million.
- A similar repurposing of C-band
spectrum is currently underway in Canada, with the Government of
Canada launching a public consultation on repurposing C-band
spectrum in August 2020. In the consultation document, in addition
to its own proposal, the Government of Canada included a proposal
put forward by Telesat whereby Telesat — the sole satellite
operator licensed to use C-band in Canada — would accelerate, and
be fully responsible for, the clearing of a portion of the C-band
spectrum so that it could be used for 5G. In return, Telesat would
be compensated for clearing and repurposing the spectrum. Comments
were submitted to the government on October 26, 2020, and Reply
Comments were submitted on November 30, 2020. Telesat anticipates a
decision in 2021.
• Telesat Lightspeed Asset Transfers
- In December 2020, in connection
with the financing of the Telesat Lightspeed Constellation, Telesat
transferred to certain unrestricted subsidiaries assets relating to
the Telesat Lightspeed network, including NGSO spectrum
authorizations, U.S. market access rights, certain IP, certain
fixed assets and certain contracts, and C-band assets, including
Canadian C-band licenses and U.S. C-band market access rights,
together with the right to receive proceeds from the repurposing
thereof. Concurrently with these transfers, Telesat contributed
US$193 million in cash to Telesat LEO Holdings Inc., an
unrestricted subsidiary of Telesat.
- Immediately prior to the asset
transfers, Telesat prepaid outstanding term loans under its Amended
Senior Secured Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount
of US$341.4 million.
Telesat’s annual report on Form 20-F for the
year ended December 31, 2020, has been filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and may be accessed on
the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

End Notes
1 The common definition of EBITDA is
“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.”
In evaluating financial performance, Telesat uses revenue and
deducts certain operating expenses (including share-based
compensation expense and unusual and non-recurring items, including
restructuring related expenses) to obtain operating income before
interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted
EBITDA”) and the Adjusted EBITDA margin (defined as the ratio of
Adjusted EBITDA to revenue) as measures of Telesat’s operating
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA allows Telesat and investors to
compare Telesat’s operating results with that of competitors
exclusive of depreciation and amortization, interest and investment
income, interest expense, taxes and certain other expenses.
Financial results of competitors in the satellite services industry
have significant variations that can result from timing of capital
expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded, the
differences in assets’ lives, the timing and amount of investments,
the effects of other income (expense), and unusual and
non-recurring items. The use of Adjusted EBITDA assists Telesat and
investors to compare operating results exclusive of these items.
Competitors in the satellite services industry have significantly
different capital structures. Telesat believes the use of Adjusted
EBITDA improves comparability of performance by excluding interest
expense.
Telesat believes the use of Adjusted EBITDA and
the Adjusted EBITDA margin along with IFRS financial measures
enhances the understanding of Telesat’s operating results and is
useful to Telesat and investors in comparing performance with
competitors, estimating enterprise value and making investment
decisions. Adjusted EBITDA as used here may not be the same as
similarly titled measures reported by competitors. Adjusted EBITDA
should be used in conjunction with IFRS financial measures and is
not presented as a substitute for cash flows from operations as a
measure of Telesat’s liquidity or as a substitute for net income as
an indicator of Telesat’s operating performance.
2 Remaining performance obligations, which
Telesat refers to as contracted revenue backlog (‘‘backlog’’),
represents Telesat’s expected future revenue from existing service
contracts (without discounting for present value) including any
deferred revenue that Telesat will recognize in the future in
respect of cash already received. The calculation of the backlog
reflects the revenue recognition policies adopted under IFRS 15.
The majority of Telesat’s contracted revenue backlog is generated
from contractual agreements for satellite capacity.
3 Includes severance payments and special compensation and
benefits for executives and employees.
