Financial Highlights: Q3FY21 Results (ended on September 30, 2021)

      Source: Company's Filing

• Top-Line Growth: The company's record total revenue of USD 87.17 million in Q3FY21, up 31.03% from USD 66.53 million in Q3FY20, was fueled by robust growth in both service and equipment sales.
• Turned into Profits: In Q3FY21, the company posted profits of USD 10.96 million compared to the loss of USD 80.12 million in Q3FY20, due to a substantial decrease in interest and increase in revenue line.
• Balance Sheet Strengthening: As of September 30, 2021, the total cash and cash equivalents were USD 133.23 million. Furthermore, total debt was USD 806.12 million on September 30, 2021, down from USD 1.17 billion on December 31, 2020.

Key Risks:

• Supplier Concentration Risk: The antennas and modems for all systems, as well as the equipment used at GOGO's ATG cell site base stations, are all supplied by single-source manufacturers. The firm's operations and cash flows might be impacted if it could not continue engaging suppliers with the skills or capabilities required by its company.
• Relying on OEMs: In each fiscal year, contracts with OEMs and aftermarket dealers accounted for more than 90% of its equipment income. If one or more significant OEMs or dealers quit their relationship with the firm, it might impact its operations and financial condition.

Outlook:

• FY21 Estimates: According to GOGO's Q3FY21 press release, FY21 revenues are expected to be about USD 325-335 million, with adjusted EBITDA of around USD 140-145 million. Free cash flows are expected to be at least USD 40 million, with capex at the low end of the previously estimated range of USD 20 to 25 million, with Gogo 5G accounting for most of the cost.
