Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- • our ability to anticipate, adapt to and invest in technological developments, evolving network requirements and new, emerging or competing technologies, including artificial intelligence-enabled services, satellite-based connectivity solutions and other technologies that could make our products or services less desirable, less competitive or obsolete;
- • our ability to successfully acquire new businesses or form joint ventures and, if acquired or joined, to integrate, realize anticipated synergies from and implement our business plans with respect to such businesses, and to successfully identify and manage post-closing operational, financial reporting, internal control and other integration issues;
- • operating costs, customer loss and business disruption, including maintaining relationships with employees, customers, suppliers or vendors, may be greater than expected in connection with our acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures;
- While we attempt to increase our revenue to offset increases in costs, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.
- In the case of annual incentive compensation, shares have been or will be issued to senior management and key employees pursuant to a shareholding incentive program.
- If, among other factors, the adverse impacts of economic, competitive, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of our goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets.
- The income tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the expected income tax benefit of $19.6 million (based on the Bermuda statutory income tax rate of 15.0%), primarily due to the net positive impact of (i) a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits and (ii) statutory rates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate that are different than the Bermuda statutory income tax rate.
- Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under Material Changes in Financial Condition — Capitalization below, we expect we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future.
- Based on our assessment of our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries on a tax efficient basis and our expectations with respect to our corporate liquidity requirements, we do not anticipate that tax considerations will adversely impact our corporate liquidity over the next 12 months.
- These obligations are expected to represent a significant liquidity requirement of our borrowing groups, a significant portion of which is due over the next 12 to 24 months.
- In addition, we do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups that would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.
- However, as our maturing debt grows in later years, we anticipate we will seek to refinance or otherwise extend our debt maturities.
