| For those of you who may be new to our company and mission, there are nearly 6 billion mobile phones in use today around the world, but many of us still experience gaps in coverage as we live, work and travel. Additionally, there are billions of people without cellular broadband and who remain unconnected from the global economy. The markets we are pursuing here are massive, and the problem we are solving is important and touches nearly all of us. In this backdrop, AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with everyday unmodified mobile devices and supported by our extensive IP and patent portfolio. | μ ν¬ νμ¬μ λ―Έμ μ μ²μ μ νμλ λΆλ€μ μν΄ λ§μλ리면, νμ¬ μ μΈκ³μ μΌλ‘ μ½ 60μ΅ λμ ν΄λμ νκ° μ¬μ©λκ³ μμ§λ§, μ°λ¦¬ μ€ λ§μ μ¬λλ€μ΄ μννκ³ , μΌνκ³ , μ¬ννλ©΄μ μ¬μ ν ν΅μ 컀λ²λ¦¬μ§ 곡백μ κ²½ννκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λν μμμ΅ λͺ μ μ¬λλ€μ΄ μ λ£°λ¬ λΈλ‘λλ°΄λ μμ΄ μ΄μκ°κ³ μμΌλ©°, κΈλ‘λ² κ²½μ λ‘λΆν° λ¨μ λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬κ° μΆκ΅¬νλ μμ₯μ λ§€μ° λ°©λνλ©°, μ°λ¦¬κ° ν΄κ²°νκ³ μ νλ λ¬Έμ λ μ€μνκ³ κ±°μ λͺ¨λ μ¬λμκ² μν₯μ λ―ΈμΉ©λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν λ°°κ²½ μμμ, AST SpaceMobileμ μΌλ°μ μΈ κΈ°μ‘΄ λͺ¨λ°μΌ κΈ°κΈ°μ μ§μ μλνλ μΈκ³ μ΅μ΄μ΄μ μ μΌν μ°μ£Ό κΈ°λ° κΈλ‘λ² μ λ£°λ¬ λΈλ‘λλ°΄λ λ€νΈμν¬λ₯Ό ꡬμΆνκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ΄λ λΉμ¬μ κ΄λ²μν μ§μ μ¬μ°κΆ λ° νΉν ν¬νΈν΄λ¦¬μ€μ μ§μμ λ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. |
| It is now my pleasure to pass the conversation over to Chairman and CEO, Abel Avellan, who will go through our activities since our last public update. Abel Avellan Founder, Chairman & CEO Thank you, Scott. AST SpaceMobile delivered standout progress in the third quarter, as we continue seizing the advantages of our leadership position in the space-based direct-to-device industry. We're executing against all of our key initiatives in this rapidly developing market and especially on deepening our commercial ecosystem with customers, partners over the past few months. | μ΄μ νμ₯ κ²Έ CEOμΈ Abel Avellanμκ² λ§μ΄ν¬λ₯Ό λ겨λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μ§λ κ³΅κ° μ

| We continue to build commercial momentum, more recently highlighted by our definitive agreement with Verizon on Saudi Telecom Group. Scott will discuss our business progress in more detail, but I want to highlight the traction we are achieving with our commercial initiatives. We signed a definitive commercial agreement with Verizon in the United States and stc in Saudi Arabia and other key markets across the Middle East and North Africa. These definitive commercial agreements demonstrate the meaningful progress in our commercial ecosystem, which include agreements with over 50 MNO partners with nearly 3 billion subscribers globally. | μ°λ¦¬λ κ³μν΄μ μμ μ λͺ¨λ©ν μ ꡬμΆνκ³ μμΌλ©°, κ°μ₯ μ΅κ·Όμλ Verizon λ° Saudi Telecom Groupκ³Όμ νμ κ³μ½μΌλ‘ μ΄λ₯Ό μ μ¦νμ΅λλ€.

| These agreements are the product of our trusted, longstanding relationship with both partners, and their confidence in our ability to deliver space-based cellular broadband connectivity to their subscribers. Our definitive commercial agreement with Verizon is an extension of our transformational partnership, which has been cultivated over several years, including the $100 million commitment in May of last year. The agreement also provides us with a formal commercial pathway to provide direct-to-device cellular broadband services to their customers starting in 2026. Our opportunity to bridge the digital divide and target 100% coverage of the Continental United States has never been stronger. | μ΄λ¬ν κ³μ½λ€μ μ ννΈλμ¬μμ μ λ’°λ₯Ό λ°νμΌλ‘ ν μ€λ κ΄κ³μ μ°λ¬Όμ΄λ©°, κ·Έλ€μ κ°μ μλ€μκ² μ°μ£Ό κΈ°λ° μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ μ°κ²°μ±μ μ 곡ν μ μλ μ°λ¦¬μ μλμ λν μ λ’°λ₯Ό 보μ¬μ€λλ€.

| Together, we partner AT&T in premium 850 megahertz low band spectrum. Our definitive agreement with stc provides us with a long-term partner in a key region with a large geographical area, significant population growth and a strong need for broadband connectivity. More broadly, our 10-year loan term agreement is a promising look into how AST SpaceMobile display mobile can collaboratively shape the future of direct-to-device mobile connectivity, as we continue to grow our mobile network operator partner ecosystem. | μ ν¬λ AT&Tμ ν리미μ 850MHz μ λμ μ£Όνμ λμμμ νλ ₯νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. stcμμ νμ κ³μ½μ κ΄λ²μν μ§μ, μλΉν μΈκ΅¬ μ¦κ°, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ°λ ₯ν κ΄λμ μ°κ²° μμλ₯Ό κ°μ§ ν΅μ¬ μ§μμμ μ₯κΈ° ννΈλλ₯Ό ν보νκ² ν΄μ€λλ€. λ λμκ°, μ ν¬μ 10λ μ₯κΈ° κ³μ½μ AST SpaceMobileμ΄ λͺ¨λ°μΌ λ€νΈμν¬ μ¬μ μ ννΈλ μνκ³λ₯Ό μ§μμ μΌλ‘ νμ₯νλ©΄μ, μ§μ λ¨λ§ μ°κ²°(direct-to-device) λͺ¨λ°μΌ μ°κ²°μ λ―Έλλ₯Ό μ΄λ»κ² νλ ₯μ μΌλ‘ ꡬμΆν΄ λκ° μ μλμ§λ₯Ό 보μ¬μ£Όλ κ³ λ¬΄μ μΈ μ¬λ‘μ λλ€. |
| Our direct-to-device satellite technology enables native cellular broadband capabilities directly to modify mobile devices, including voice, text, data, video and full Internet access to native cellular apps. As an example of our native cellular capability, we recently completed a BlueBird satellite-enabled technology milestone with Verizon, completing direct voice and video calls as well as 2-way RCS messaging between standard and modified smartphones. This follow additional milestone with Bell Canada in anticipation for a broader commercial rollout. | λΉμ¬μ direct-to-device μμ± κΈ°μ μ μμ±, λ¬Έμ, λ°μ΄ν°, μμ λ° λ€μ΄ν°λΈ μ λ£°λ¬ μ±μ ν΅ν μμ ν μΈν°λ· μ μμ ν¬ν¨νμ¬, μμ λ λͺ¨λ°μΌ κΈ°κΈ°μ μ§μ λ€μ΄ν°λΈ μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ κΈ°λ₯μ μ 곡ν©λλ€. λΉμ¬μ λ€μ΄ν°λΈ μ λ£°λ¬ μλμ 보μ¬μ£Όλ μ¬λ‘λ‘, μ΅κ·Ό Verizonκ³Ό ν¨κ» BlueBird μμ± μ§μ κΈ°μ λ§μΌμ€ν€μ μλ£νμμΌλ©°, νμ€ μ€λ§νΈν°κ³Ό μμ λ μ€λ§νΈν° κ° μ§μ μμ± λ° μμ ν΅νλ λ¬Όλ‘ μλ°©ν₯ RCS λ©μμ§μ μ±κ³΅μ μΌλ‘ ꡬννμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ λ κ΄λ²μν μμ©ν μΆμλ₯Ό μλκ³ Bell Canadaμ λ¬μ±ν μΆκ° λ§μΌμ€ν€μ μ΄μ κ²μ λλ€. |
| Specifically, we showcased Canada's first successful space-based direct-to-sell, voice-over-LTE call, video call and other broadband data and video streaming activations. We believe Canada will represent another attractive market for our direct-to-device seller broadband service. Space-based cellular broadband connectivity is an industry that we invented. | νΉν, μ°λ¦¬λ μΊλλ€ μ΅μ΄λ‘ μμ± κΈ°λ° μ§μ μ°κ²°(direct-to-device) λ°©μμ μμ± LTE ν΅ν, μμ ν΅ν λ° κΈ°ν κ΄λμ λ°μ΄ν°μ λΉλμ€ μ€νΈλ¦¬λ° μλΉμ€ ꡬνμ μ±κ³΅νμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ μΊλλ€κ° μ§μ μ°κ²° λ°©μμ μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ μλΉμ€μ μμ΄ λ νλμ λ§€λ ₯μ μΈ μμ₯μ΄ λ κ²μΌλ‘ λ―Ώκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μμ± κΈ°λ° μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ μ°κ²°μ μ°λ¦¬κ° μ°½μν μ°μ μ λλ€. |

Our direct-to-device cellular broadband network will help our partners deliver on one of their highest priorities, which is extending connectivity for their customers as part of our effort to deliver on those priorities. | κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ Verizonκ³Ό Bellκ³Όμ μ΅κ·Ό κΈ°μ μ΄μ νλ μ°λ¦¬μ direct-to-device κΈ°μ μ νμ©ν μ¬λ¬ νμ μ μ±κ³Όλ€μ μ΄μ΄μ§ κ²μ λλ€. μ¬κΈ°μλ μ΅μ΄μ 4G λ° 5G μμ± ν΅ν, voice over LTE ν΅ν, μ€μκ° μμ ν΅ν, μ€νΈλ¦¬λ°, μμ ν μΈν°λ· μ μ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°μ£Όμμ κ°μ‘°λ μ€λ§νΈν°μΌλ‘μ κ΅°μ¬ λ° κ΅λ°© λͺ©μ μ μ μ μ λΉμ§μ λ€νΈμν¬ μ°κ²°μ΄ ν¬ν¨λ©λλ€. μ°λ¦¬μ direct-to-device μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ λ€νΈμν¬λ ννΈλμ¬λ€μ΄ μ΅μ°μ κ³Όμ μ€ νλμΈ κ³ κ°λ€μ μν μ°κ²°μ± νλλ₯Ό μ€ννλ λ° λμμ μ€ κ²μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ μ΄λ¬ν μ°μ μμλ₯Ό λ¬μ±νκΈ° μν μ°λ¦¬μ λ Έλ ₯μ μΌνμ λλ€. |
| We are advancing partners and ecosystem network integration, and we progress towards service activation in key partner markets. Specifically, we have already begun activation in fixed network locations. We expect to continue a scale deployment efforts early next year as we progress activation of an intermittent nationwide service by early 2026 and prepare for continued service later in 2026. Taking a step back, AST SpaceMobile have now built the largest and most diverse commercial partner ecosystem in the industry. Our network include agreements and understanding with over 50 MNO partner's with nearly 3 billion subscribers globally. | μ°λ¦¬λ ννΈλ λ° μνκ³ λ€νΈμν¬ ν΅ν©μ μ§μ μν€κ³ μμΌλ©°, μ£Όμ ννΈλ μμ₯μμμ μλΉμ€ νμ±νλ₯Ό ν₯ν΄ λμκ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. ꡬ체μ μΌλ‘, μ°λ¦¬λ μ΄λ―Έ κ³ μ λ€νΈμν¬ μμΉμμ νμ±νλ₯Ό μμνμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ 2026λ μ΄κΉμ§ κ°νμ μ κ΅ μλΉμ€ νμ±νλ₯Ό μ§ννκ³ 2026λ νλ° μ§μμ μΈ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μ€λΉνλ©΄μ, λ΄λ μ΄ λκ·λͺ¨ λ°°μΉ λ Έλ ₯μ κ³μν κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. ν κ±Έμ λ¬Όλ¬μμ 보면, AST SpaceMobileμ μ΄μ μ κ³μμ κ°μ₯ ν¬κ³ κ°μ₯ λ€μν μμ μ ννΈλ μνκ³λ₯Ό ꡬμΆνμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬μ λ€νΈμν¬λ μ μΈκ³μ μΌλ‘ μ½ 30μ΅ λͺ μ κ°μ μλ₯Ό 보μ ν 50κ° μ΄μμ MNO(μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μ) ννΈλμμ κ³μ½ λ° μν΄κ°μλ₯Ό ν¬ν¨νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. |
| We have access to some of the most important markets covered and exposure to billions of subscribers as well as long-term access to valuable spectrum. A key strategy during 2025 has been to deepen this partner ecosystem through definitive commercial agreements. Today, we're happy to disclose for our first time that we have secured over $1 billion in total contracted revenue commitment from our commercial partners. This represents an incredible snapshot into how our business is developing and not only to the commitments of our partners have to AST SpaceMobile but also the way they are starting to think about financial impact of this massive opportunity.

| Our manufacturing efforts are on track with our goal and expectations. BlueBird 8 to 19 are in various stages of production, and we are on schedule to complete 40 satellites equivalent of microns by early 2026, bringing us to BlueBird 46. Leveraging our 95% vertically integrated manufacturing, we continue to accelerate and improve our manufacturing process and expect to exit calendar 2025 at a manufacturing cadence of 6 satellites per month. A detailed cadence of our 2025 and 2026 deployment plan is shown in the accompanying quarterly presentation found on our IR website. | μ ν¬ μ μ‘° λ Έλ ₯μ λͺ©νμ κΈ°λμΉμ λΆν©νμ¬ μμ‘°λ‘κ² μ§νλκ³ μμ΅λλ€.

| This effort is supported by our steady expanding manufacturing footprint soon to be over 0.5 million square feet of manufacturing and operations space supported by a global workforce of nearly 1,800 people. We had shipped BlueBird 6 to its launch site in India with launch expected to occur in the first half of December. We also expect to ship BlueBird 7 to Cape Canaveral later this month with launch anticipated shortly thereafter. Additionally, we continue to expect 5 orbital launches by the end of Q1 2026, with launches every 1 to 2 months on average to reach our goal of 45 to 60 satellites launched by the end of 2026. | μ΄λ¬ν λ Έλ ₯μ κ³§ 50λ§ νλ°©νΌνΈ μ΄μμΌλ‘ νλλ μ μ‘° μ€λΉμ μ΄μ 곡κ°, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ μΈκ³μ μΌλ‘ μ½ 1,800λͺ μ λ¬νλ μΈλ ₯μ μ§μμ λ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ BlueBird 6νΈλ₯Ό μΈλμ λ°μ¬ κΈ°μ§λ‘ μ΄μ‘νμΌλ©°, 12μ μλ°κΈ° μ€ λ°μ¬κ° μμ λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. λν μ΄λ¬ λ§ BlueBird 7νΈλ₯Ό μΌμ΄ν 컀λ΄λ²λ΄λ‘ μ΄μ‘ν μμ μ΄λ©°, κ·Έ μ§ν λ°μ¬κ° μμλ©λλ€. λλΆμ΄, 2026λ 1λΆκΈ° λ§κΉμ§ 5νμ κΆ€λ λ°μ¬λ₯Ό μμνκ³ μμΌλ©°, νκ· 1~2κ°μλ§λ€ λ°μ¬λ₯Ό μ§ννμ¬ 2026λ λ§κΉμ§ 45~60κΈ°μ μμ± λ°μ¬ λͺ©νλ₯Ό λ¬μ±ν κ³νμ λλ€. |

| By making a smart and cost-effective investment in spectrum, we are able to preserve the value of our spectrum assets while protecting the long-term viability of our business. This robust portfolio of spectrum is expected to create a durable competitive advantage for AST SpaceMobile. Spectrum enabled us to provide more lanes for direct-to-device cellular broadband services at a faster speed and a greater capacity. And lastly, we strengthened our financial footing significantly in the last few months, reaching over $3.2 billion in cash and liquidity as of quarter end, pro forma for our recent financial transaction and available liquidity under the ATM facility. | μ€ννΈλΌμ λν νλͺ νκ³ λΉμ© ν¨μ¨μ μΈ ν¬μλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄, μ°λ¦¬λ μ€ννΈλΌ μμ°μ κ°μΉλ₯Ό 보쑴νλ λμμ μ¬μ μ μ₯κΈ°μ μμ‘΄ κ°λ₯μ±μ 보νΈν μ μκ² λμμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν κ²¬κ³ ν μ€ννΈλΌ ν¬νΈν΄λ¦¬μ€λ AST SpaceMobileμ μ§μ κ°λ₯ν κ²½μ μ°μλ₯Ό μ°½μΆν κ²μΌλ‘ κΈ°λλ©λλ€. μ€ννΈλΌμ μ°λ¦¬κ° λ λΉ λ₯Έ μλμ λ ν° μ©λμΌλ‘ μ§μ -λ¨λ§ μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μν λ λ§μ λ μΈμ μ 곡ν μ μκ² ν΄μ€λλ€. λ§μ§λ§μΌλ‘, μ°λ¦¬λ μ§λ λͺ κ°μ λμ μ¬λ¬΄μ κΈ°λ°μ ν¬κ² κ°ννμ¬, μ΅κ·Ό κΈμ΅ κ±°λ λ° ATM μμ€ νμ κ°μ© μ λμ±μ λ°μν νλ‘ν¬λ§ κΈ°μ€μΌλ‘ λΆκΈ° λ§ νμ¬ 32μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ νκΈ λ° μ λμ±μ ν보νμ΅λλ€. |

| Scott Wisniewski President & Chief Strategy Officer Thank you, Abel. We have been making rapid and continuous progress against our key business initiatives. Specifically, the third quarter was marked by milestone achievements as we develop our commercial ecosystem, delivering on our previously stated goals of definitive commercial agreements, nondilutive service prepayments and long-term revenue commitments. Most significantly, we are thrilled to announce today for the first time that we have now secured over $1 billion in aggregate contracted revenue commitments from our commercial partners. | μ€μ½§ μμ€λμνμ€ν€ μ¬μ₯ κ²Έ μ΅κ³ μ λ΅μ± μμ κ°μ¬ν©λλ€, μ벨. μ°λ¦¬λ ν΅μ¬ μ¬μ μ΄λμ ν°λΈμ λν΄ λΉ λ₯΄κ³ μ§μμ μΈ μ§μ μ μ΄λ£¨μ΄μμ΅λλ€. νΉν 3λΆκΈ°λ μ°λ¦¬κ° μμ μνκ³λ₯Ό ꡬμΆνλ©΄μ μ΄μ νμ μ±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ¬μ±ν μκΈ°μμΌλ©°, νμ μ μμ κ³μ½, λΉν¬μμ± μλΉμ€ μ κΈκΈ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ₯κΈ° λ§€μΆ μ½μ μ΄λΌλ μ΄μ μ λͺ μν λͺ©νλ€μ μ€ννμ΅λλ€. κ°μ₯ μ€μν κ²μ, μ€λ μ²μμΌλ‘ λ°ννκ² λμ΄ λ§€μ° κΈ°μκ² μκ°νλλ°, μ°λ¦¬λ μ΄μ μμ ννΈλλ€λ‘λΆν° μ΄ 10μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ κ³μ½ λ§€μΆ μ½μ μ ν보νμ΅λλ€. |
| These revenue commitments have always been integral to our comprehensive capital raising strategy, but also provide a powerful validation of our ecosystem partner strategy, our business model and the massive size of the direct-to-device market we are creating. For some context, AST SpaceMobile has incredible strategic assets, including our breakthrough technology, vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities, long-term spectrum access and an ecosystem partner strategy that has set the stage for our commercialization strategy, which is really taking shape. Since our last public update, we signed 2 additional definitive commercial agreements with Verizon and Saudi Telecom Group. | μ΄λ¬ν λ§€μΆ μ½μ μ νμ μ°λ¦¬μ μ’ ν©μ μΈ μκΈ μ‘°λ¬ μ λ΅μ ν΅μ¬μ μΈ μμμμ§λ§, λμμ μ°λ¦¬μ μνκ³ ννΈλ μ λ΅, λΉμ¦λμ€ λͺ¨λΈ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°λ¦¬κ° μ°½μΆνκ³ μλ μ§μ -λλ°μ΄μ€(direct-to-device) μμ₯μ λ§λν κ·λͺ¨μ λν κ°λ ₯ν κ²μ¦μ μ 곡ν©λλ€. λ§₯λ½μ μ€λͺ λ리μλ©΄, AST SpaceMobileμ νμ μ μΈ κΈ°μ , μμ§ ν΅ν©λ μ μ‘° μλ, μ₯κΈ° μ£Όνμ μ κ·ΌκΆ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°λ¦¬μ μμ©ν μ λ΅μ μν κΈ°λ°μ λ§λ ¨ν μνκ³ ννΈλ μ λ΅μ ν¬ν¨ν λλΌμ΄ μ λ΅μ μμ°λ€μ 보μ νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ΄λ μ€μ λ‘ κ΅¬μ²΄νλκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ§λ κ³΅κ° μ λ°μ΄νΈ μ΄ν, μ°λ¦¬λ Verizon λ° Saudi Telecom Groupκ³Ό 2건μ μΆκ° νμ μμ κ³μ½μ 체결νμ΅λλ€. |
| These agreements represent years of relationship building and organizational alignment and are the business and legal frameworks through which future services and revenue will flow. These agreements represent a key step in our commercialization journey as we significantly expand our relationship with 2 additional incredible operators, hold from our ecosystem of over 50 leading global mobile network operator partners who collectively cover nearly 3 billion subscribers. This adds to previous definitive commercial agreements signed with AT&T and Vodafone. | μ΄λ¬ν κ³μ½λ€μ μλ κ°μ κ΄κ³ ꡬμΆκ³Ό μ‘°μ§ κ° νλ ₯μ κ²°κ³Όλ¬Όμ΄λ©°, ν₯ν μλΉμ€μ λ§€μΆμ΄ νλ₯΄κ² λ λΉμ¦λμ€ λ° λ²μ νλ μμν¬μ λλ€. μ΄λ² κ³μ½μ μ°λ¦¬μ μμ©ν μ¬μ μμ ν΅μ¬μ μΈ λ¨κ³λ‘, μ μΈκ³ μ½ 30μ΅ λͺ μ κ°μ μλ₯Ό 보μ ν 50κ° μ΄μμ κΈλ‘λ² μ λ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬ ννΈλ μνκ³ μ€ 2κ°μ λ°μ΄λ μ¬μ μμμ κ΄κ³λ₯Ό ν¬κ² νλνλ κ²μ μλ―Έν©λλ€. μ΄λ μ΄μ μ 체결ν AT&T λ° Vodafoneκ³Όμ νμ μ μμ κ³μ½μ λν΄μ§λ κ²μ λλ€. |
| Our strategy is to continue to sign similar agreements with more of our top partners on a rolling basis as we prioritize initial global services on the AST SpaceMobile network. As you know, Verizon is a very important partner as we develop the U.S. market and target full geographic coverage of the continental United States. This agreement, of course, builds on the strategic partnership with Verizon announced last year with a $100 million commitment. Together with AT&T, we plan to deploy services next year with 2 of the major U.S. mobile network operators.

| This is an innovative, leading mobile network operator partner in the Gulf region, who we first signed an MOU with in early 2023. This agreement signed just last month provides a framework for direct-to-device services across the Middle East and North Africa. Importantly, this agreement also included a prepayment of $175 million to be made by the end of 2025 and a significant long-term commercial revenue commitment. Lastly, we announced our intention to further deepen our ties in Europe through the SatCo joint venture with Vodafone, announcing a constellation of mid-band satellites dedicated for the EU. | μ΄ ννΈλλ κ±Έν μ§μμ νμ μ μ΄κ³ μ λμ μΈ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μλ‘, 2023λ μ΄μ μ²μ μν΄κ°μ(MOU)λ₯Ό 체결νμ΅λλ€. μ§λλ¬ μ²΄κ²°λ μ΄λ² κ³μ½μ μ€λ λ° λΆμν리카 μ μμμ μ§μ λ¨λ§ μ°κ²° μλΉμ€(direct-to-device services)λ₯Ό μ 곡νκΈ° μν νλ μμν¬λ₯Ό μ 곡ν©λλ€. μ€μν μ μ μ΄λ² κ³μ½μ 2025λ λ§κΉμ§ 1μ΅ 7,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μ κΈκΈ μ§κΈκ³Ό μλΉν κ·λͺ¨μ μ₯κΈ° μμ μ λ§€μΆ μ½μ μ΄ ν¬ν¨λμ΄ μλ€λ κ²μ λλ€. λ§μ§λ§μΌλ‘, μ°λ¦¬λ Vodafoneκ³Όμ SatCo ν©μν¬μλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μ λ½μμμ νλ ₯κ΄κ³λ₯Ό λμ± μ¬ννκ² λ€λ μμ¬λ₯Ό λ°ννμΌλ©°, EU μ μ© μ€λμ(mid-band) μμ± κ΅°μ§(constellation) ꡬμΆμ 곡ννμ΅λλ€. |
| These satellites will provide a scalable European satellite mobile broadband service for use by mobile network operators and for the benefit of all European citizens, businesses and public sector organizations. This step represents further accretive organic growth opportunities available to the AST SpaceMobile platform facilitated by our first-mover advantages in space-based cellular broadband, our development of the commercial ecosystem as well as our recent strong capital markets access to growth capital. | μ΄ μμ±λ€μ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μλ€μ΄ μ¬μ©νκ³ λͺ¨λ μ λ½ μλ―Ό, κΈ°μ λ° κ³΅κ³΅κΈ°κ΄μ΄ ννμ λ°μ μ μλ νμ₯ κ°λ₯ν μ λ½ μμ± λͺ¨λ°μΌ κ΄λμ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μ 곡ν κ²μ λλ€. μ΄λ² μ‘°μΉλ μ°μ£Ό κΈ°λ° μ λ£°λ¬ κ΄λμ λΆμΌμμμ μ λμ μ°μ, μμ μνκ³ κ΅¬μΆ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΅κ·Ό μ±μ₯ μλ³Έμ λν κ°λ ₯ν μλ³Έμμ₯ μ κ·Όμ±μ ν΅ν΄ AST SpaceMobile νλ«νΌμ μ 곡λλ μΆκ°μ μΈ μ¦λΆ μ κΈ°μ μ±μ₯ κΈ°νλ₯Ό λνλ λλ€. |
| SatCo based in Luxembourg is continuing to scale with key leadership and employee hires, accelerating our commercialization efforts in Europe, with MOUs signed in 21 of 27 member states to date. Linking our strategies back to third quarter performance, we grew to double-digit revenue with approximately $15 million of recognized revenue on the back of milestones in our U.S. government contracts and delivery and installation of gateway equipment versus approximately $2 million in the prior quarter. This represents continued progress with our U.S. government work and the acceleration of gateway deliveries and installations with our mobile network operator customers in the U.S. and globally. | 룩μ λΆλ₯΄ν¬μ λ³Έμ¬λ₯Ό λ SatCoλ ν΅μ¬ 리λμ λ° μ§μ μ±μ©μ ν΅ν΄ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ κ·λͺ¨λ₯Ό νλνκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ λ½μμμ μμ©ν λ Έλ ₯μ κ°μννμ¬ νμ¬κΉμ§ 27κ° νμκ΅ μ€ 21κ°κ΅κ³Ό μν΄κ°μ(MOU)λ₯Ό 체결νμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬μ μ λ΅μ 3λΆκΈ° μ€μ κ³Ό μ°κ³ν΄ 보면, λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ κ³μ½μ λ§μΌμ€ν€ λ¬μ±κ³Ό κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μ₯λΉ λ©ν λ° μ€μΉλ₯Ό κΈ°λ°μΌλ‘ μ½ 1,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μ λ§€μΆμ μΈμνλ©° λ μλ¦Ώμ λ§€μΆ μ±μ₯μ λ¬μ±νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ λΆκΈ° μ½ 200λ§ λ¬λ¬ λλΉ μ¦κ°ν μμΉμ λλ€. μ΄λ λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ νλ‘μ νΈμ μ§μμ μΈ μ§μ κ³Ό λ―Έκ΅ λ° μ μΈκ³ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬ κ³ κ°λ€μ λμμΌλ‘ ν κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ λ©ν λ° μ€μΉμ κ°μνλ₯Ό λνλ λλ€. |
| With this progress and our expectations going into year-end, we continue to expect second half 2025 revenue in the range of $50 million to $75 million. We also replenished the pipeline of gateway bookings with approximately $14 million in new gateway equipment sales during Q3 and we continue to believe we will book over $10 million of new gateway equipment sales per quarter on average. For a little more detail on our U.S. government business, our breakthrough technology continues to garner interest from many U.S. defense and government entities for both dedicated and dual-use applications. | μ΄λ¬ν μ§ν μν©κ³Ό μ°λ§μ ν₯ν μ°λ¦¬μ κΈ°λλ₯Ό λ°νμΌλ‘, 2025λ νλ°κΈ° λ§€μΆμ 5μ²λ§ λ¬λ¬μμ 7μ²5λ°±λ§ λ¬λ¬ λ²μλ₯Ό μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μμνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λν 3λΆκΈ° λμ μ½ 1μ²4λ°±λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μ κ· κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μ₯λΉ λ§€μΆλ‘ κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μμ£Ό νμ΄νλΌμΈμ 보좩νμΌλ©°, νκ· μ μΌλ‘ λΆκΈ°λΉ 1μ²λ§ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ μ κ· κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μ₯λΉ λ§€μΆμ μμ£Όν κ²μΌλ‘ κ³μ λ―Ώκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ μ¬μ μ λν΄ μ’ λ μμΈν λ§μλ리면, μ°λ¦¬μ νμ μ μΈ κΈ°μ μ μ μ© λ° μ΄μ€ μ©λ μ ν리μΌμ΄μ λͺ¨λμμ λ§μ λ―Έκ΅ κ΅λ°©λΆ λ° μ λΆ κΈ°κ΄λ€λ‘λΆν° μ§μμ μΌλ‘ κ΄μ¬μ λ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. |
| Our differentiated technology and growing list of capabilities across communications and noncommunications use cases fits nicely within the framework of the current administration's space and on-orbit plans. This is the most positive backdrop for U.S. government investment in space since the space race of the 1960s. We see no change to this massive trend over the past few months despite the government shutdown. In fact, we recently received an award as a prime contractor with the U.S. government, subject to final contract negotiations when the government reopens. In summary, we continue to ramp our U.S. government efforts as we plan for large contracts going forward. | μ°λ¦¬μ μ°¨λ³νλ κΈ°μ κ³Ό ν΅μ λ° λΉν΅μ νμ© μ¬λ‘ μ λ°μ κ±Έμ³ νλλκ³ μλ μλ λͺ©λ‘μ ν νμ λΆμ μ°μ£Ό λ° κΆ€λμ κ³νμ ν μμμ λ§€μ° μ ν©νκ² λΆν©ν©λλ€. μ΄λ 1960λ λ μ°μ£Ό κ²½μ μ΄ν λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆμ μ°μ£Ό ν¬μμ μμ΄ κ°μ₯ κΈμ μ μΈ νκ²½μ λλ€. μ λΆ μ §λ€μ΄μλ λΆκ΅¬νκ³ μ§λ λͺ κ°μκ° μ΄λ¬ν κ±°λν μΆμΈμλ λ³νκ° μλ€κ³ νλ¨νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ€μ λ‘ μ°λ¦¬λ μ΅κ·Ό λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆμμ μ£Όκ³μ½μλ‘ μ μ λμμΌλ©°, μ λΆκ° μ¬κ°λλ©΄ μ΅μ’ κ³μ½ νμμ μ§νν μμ μ λλ€. μμ½νμλ©΄, ν₯ν λκ·λͺ¨ κ³μ½μ λλΉνμ¬ λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ κ΄λ ¨ μ¬μ μ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ νλν΄ λκ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. |

| We continue to balance a prudent approach to our spending while moving quickly to protect and capitalize on our first-mover advantage of bringing space-based broadband connectivity, direct unmodified smartphones in the rapidly growing direct-to-device market. This intentional focus on investing in our operational growth led to increased operating expenses in Q3, while capital expenditures decreased from the prior quarter as capital commitments ebb and flow as expected from quarter-to-quarter. Importantly, this quarter marked the start of our revenue ramp with revenue from commercial hardware sales, services and contract awards from our U.S. government milestone achievements. | μ°λ¦¬λ μ μ€ν μ§μΆ μ κ·Ό λ°©μμ μ μ§νλ©΄μλ, λΉ λ₯΄κ² μ±μ₯νλ direct-to-device μμ₯μμ μ°μ£Ό κΈ°λ° κ΄λμ μ°κ²°μ λΉκ°μ‘° μ€λ§νΈν°μ μ§μ μ 곡νλ μ λμλ‘μμ μ°μλ₯Ό 보νΈνκ³ νμ©νκΈ° μν΄ μ μνκ² μμ§μ΄κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄μ μ±μ₯μ λν μ΄λ¬ν μλμ μΈ ν¬μ μ§μ€μΌλ‘ μΈν΄ 3λΆκΈ° μμ λΉμ©μ΄ μ¦κ°νμΌλ©°, μλ³Έμ μ§μΆμ λΆκΈ°λ³λ‘ μμλλ‘ μλ³Έ ν¬μ μ΄ μ¦κ°νλ©΄μ μ λΆκΈ° λλΉ κ°μνμ΅λλ€. μ€μν μ μ, μ΄λ² λΆκΈ°κ° μμ μ© νλμ¨μ΄ νλ§€, μλΉμ€, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ λ§μΌμ€ν€ λ¬μ±μΌλ‘ μΈν κ³μ½ μμ£Όλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ λ§€μΆ μ¦κ°κ° μμλ μμ μ΄λΌλ κ²μ λλ€. |
| Moving to the operating and capital metrics slide. Let's review the key operating metrics for the third quarter of 2025. On the first chart, for the third quarter, we incurred non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses of $67.7 million versus $51.7 million in the second quarter. As a reminder, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude some noncash operating costs, including depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. | μ΄μ λ° μλ³Έ μ§ν μ¬λΌμ΄λλ‘ λμ΄κ°κ² μ΅λλ€. 2025λ 3λΆκΈ° μ£Όμ μ΄μ μ§νλ₯Ό κ²ν νκ² μ΅λλ€. 첫 λ²μ§Έ μ°¨νΈμμ 보μλ©΄, 3λΆκΈ°μ λΉGAAP μ‘°μ μ΄μλΉμ©μ΄ 6,770λ§ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νμΌλ©°, μ΄λ 2λΆκΈ°μ 5,170λ§ λ¬λ¬ λλΉ μ¦κ°ν μμΉμ λλ€. μ°Έκ³ λ‘ λ§μλ리면, λΉGAAP μ‘°μ μ΄μλΉμ©μ κ°κ°μκ°λΉ, 무νμμ°μκ°λΉ, μ£ΌμκΈ°μ€λ³΄μκ³Ό κ°μ μΌλΆ λΉνκΈ μ΄μλΉμ©μ μ μΈν μμΉμ λλ€. |
| This quarter-over-quarter increase of $16.0 million resulted from a $7.6 million increase in adjusted engineering service costs, a $5.5 million increase in the cost of goods sold and a $3.8 million increase in adjusted general and administrative costs, which were partially offset by an approximately $900,000 reduction in R&D costs. | μ΄λ² λΆκΈ° λλΉ 1,600λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μ¦κ°λ μ‘°μ μμ§λμ΄λ§ μλΉμ€ λΉμ©μ΄ 760λ§ λ¬λ¬ μ¦κ°νκ³ , λ§€μΆμκ°κ° 550λ§ λ¬λ¬ μ¦κ°νμΌλ©°, μ‘°μ μΌλ°κ΄λ¦¬λΉκ° 380λ§ λ¬λ¬ μ¦κ°ν λ° λ°λ₯Έ κ²μ λλ€. μ΄λ R&D λΉμ©μ μ½ 90λ§ λ¬λ¬ κ°μλ‘ λΆλΆμ μΌλ‘ μμλμμ΅λλ€. |
| This variance in adjusted OpEx in Q3 was above the quarterly guidance I provided after the second quarter due in part to the approximately $7.1 million of nonrecurring transaction-related expenses, including our L-Band and S-Band spectrum transactions, the nonrecourse senior secured delayed draw term loan facility and now completed pre-regulatory approval bridge loan in addition to the continued work of standing up our joint venture with Vodafone, which we launched in the second quarter. The Q3 adjusted operating expenses guidance I gave in our last earnings call did not include any cost of goods sold related to gateway sales. | μ΄λ¬ν 3λΆκΈ° μ‘°μ μμ λΉμ©μ λ³λμ μ κ° 2λΆκΈ° μ€μ λ°ν ν μ μν λΆκΈ° κ°μ΄λμ€λ₯Ό μννμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ λΆλΆμ μΌλ‘ μ½ 710λ§ λ¬λ¬μ λΉλ°λ³΅μ κ±°λ κ΄λ ¨ λΉμ© λλ¬Έμ΄μμ΅λλ€. μ¬κΈ°μλ L-λ°΄λ λ° S-λ°΄λ μ€ννΈλΌ κ±°λ, λΉμκ΅¬κΆ μ μμ λ΄λ³΄λΆ μ§μ°μΈμΆ ν λ‘ μμ€, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ νμ¬ μλ£λ κ·μ μΉμΈ μ λΈλ¦Ώμ§λ‘ μ΄ ν¬ν¨λλ©°, 2λΆκΈ°μ μΆλ²ν Vodafoneκ³Όμ ν©μν¬μ μ€λ¦½μ μν μ§μμ μΈ μμ λ ν¬ν¨λ©λλ€. μ§λ μ€μ λ°νμμ μ μν 3λΆκΈ° μ‘°μ μμ λΉμ© κ°μ΄λμ€μλ κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ νλ§€μ κ΄λ ¨λ λ§€μΆμκ°κ° ν¬ν¨λμ§ μμμ΅λλ€. |
| If you compare our Q3 operating expenses on that same basis by excluding the $5.5 million in cost of goods sold, our run rate operating expense would be $55.1 million, which is approximately $5 million more than the run rate guidance for adjusted OpEx previously provided. Turning towards the second chart on this slide. Our capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2025 were approximately $259 million versus $323 million for the second quarter of 2025. | λμΌν κΈ°μ€μΌλ‘ 3λΆκΈ° μμ λΉμ©μ λΉκ΅ν λ, λ§€μΆμκ°μμ 550λ§ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό μ μΈνλ©΄ λ°λ μ΄νΈ μμ λΉμ©μ 5,510λ§ λ¬λ¬κ° λλ©°, μ΄λ μ΄μ μ μ μν μ‘°μ μμ λΉμ© λ°λ μ΄νΈ κ°μ΄λμ€λ³΄λ€ μ½ 500λ§ λ¬λ¬ λ λμ μμ€μ λλ€. μ΄ μ¬λΌμ΄λμ λ λ²μ§Έ μ°¨νΈλ‘ λμ΄κ°κ² μ΅λλ€. 2025λ 3λΆκΈ° μλ³Έμ μ§μΆμ μ½ 2μ΅ 5,900λ§ λ¬λ¬λ‘, 2025λ 2λΆκΈ°μ 3μ΅ 2,300λ§ λ¬λ¬ λλΉ κ°μνμ΅λλ€. |
| This figure was made up of approximately $231 million of capitalized direct materials, labor for our Block 2 BlueBird satellites and payments made in connection with multiple launch contracts with the balance relating to facility and production equipment expenditures. This amount was just below the midpoint of the quarterly guidance of $225 million to $300 million that I provided during our last earnings call. For the fourth quarter of 2025, we estimate that our adjusted operating expenses, excluding cost of goods sold, will come in at a similar range in the mid-$60 million. | μ΄ κΈμ‘μ Block 2 BlueBird μμ±μ μλ³Ένλ μ§μ μ¬λ£λΉμ μΈκ±΄λΉ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ¬λ¬ λ°μ¬ κ³μ½κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨νμ¬ μ§κΈλ κΈμ‘ μ½ 2μ΅ 3,100λ§ λ¬λ¬λ‘ ꡬμ±λμμΌλ©°, λλ¨Έμ§λ μμ€ λ° μμ° μ₯λΉ μ§μΆκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨λ κ²μ λλ€. μ΄λ μ§λ μ€μ λ°νμμ μ κ° μ μν λΆκΈ° κ°μ΄λμ€ 2μ΅ 2,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μμ 3μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ μ€κ°κ°μ μ½κ° λ°λλ μμ€μ λλ€. 2025λ 4λΆκΈ°μ κ²½μ°, λ§€μΆμκ°λ₯Ό μ μΈν μ‘°μ μμ λΉμ©μ 6,000λ§ λ¬λ¬ μ€λ°λμ μ μ¬ν λ²μκ° λ κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. |
| As we continue to design, manufacture, launch and operate our growing satellites constellation as well as pursue the monetization of our L and S-Band spectrum usage rights. We expect our capital expenditures to increase slightly in Q4 of 2025 as compared to the third quarter to a range of $275 million to $325 million, primarily driven by the timing of launch payments related to our near-term launches, which, as I've previously explained, do vary from quarter to quarter. | μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μ±μ₯νλ μμ± κ΅°μ§μ μ€κ³, μ μ‘°, λ°μ¬ λ° μ΄μνκ³ , Lλ°΄λ λ° Sλ°΄λ μ£Όνμ μ¬μ©κΆμ μμ΅νλ₯Ό μΆμ§ν¨μ λ°λΌ, 2025λ 4λΆκΈ° μλ³Έμ μ§μΆμ 3λΆκΈ° λλΉ μν μ¦κ°νμ¬ 2μ΅ 7,500λ§ λ¬λ¬μμ 3μ΅ 2,500λ§ λ¬λ¬ λ²μκ° λ κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. μ΄λ μ£Όλ‘ λ¨κΈ° λ°μ¬ μΌμ κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨λ λ°μ¬ λκΈ μ§κΈ μκΈ°μ λ°λ₯Έ κ²μ΄λ©°, μ κ° μ΄μ μ μ€λͺ λλ¦° λ°μ κ°μ΄ λΆκΈ°λ³λ‘ λ³λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. |
| We continue to estimate that the average capital costs, including direct materials and launch costs for our constellation of over 90 Block 2 BlueBird satellites will fall in the range of $21 million to $23 million per satellite. This is the same range of per satellite cost that I've provided since our Q1 2025 earnings. Our cost per satellite estimates are subject to fluctuations based on dynamic geopolitical factors, which could impact our costs. | μ ν¬λ 90κ° μ΄μμ Block 2 BlueBird μμ±μΌλ‘ ꡬμ±λ μμ±κ΅°μ λν νκ· μλ³Έ λΉμ©μ΄ μ§μ μ¬λ£λΉμ λ°μ¬ λΉμ©μ ν¬ν¨νμ¬ μμ±λΉ 2,100λ§ λ¬λ¬μμ 2,300λ§ λ¬λ¬ λ²μμ μμ κ²μΌλ‘ κ³μ μΆμ νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ κ° 2025λ 1λΆκΈ° μ€μ λ°ν μ΄ν μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μ μν΄ μ¨ μμ±λΉ λΉμ© λ²μμ λμΌν©λλ€. μμ±λΉ λΉμ© μΆμ μΉλ μ°λ¦¬μ λΉμ©μ μν₯μ λ―ΈμΉ μ μλ μλμ μΈ μ§μ νμ μμΈλ€μ λ°λΌ λ³λλ μ μμ΅λλ€. |
| Within our go-forward OpEx profile, we continue to believe that the operation of a constellation of 25 BlueBird satellites will allow us to enable noncontinuous space mobile service in selected targeted geographical markets and should enable us to potentially generate cash flows from operating activities from both commercial and U.S. government opportunities to further support the buildup of the remaining constellation. As a reminder, the timing of the changes in our adjusted operating expenses and capital expenditures, as I have just described, could be delayed or may not be realized due to a variety of factors. | μ°λ¦¬μ ν₯ν μ΄μλΉ κ΅¬μ‘° λ΄μμ, 25κ°μ BlueBird μμ±μΌλ‘ ꡬμ±λ μμ±κ΅° μ΄μμ΄ μ λ³λ λͺ©ν μ§μ μμ₯μμ λΉμ°μμ μ°μ£Ό μ΄λν΅μ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό κ°λ₯νκ² ν κ²μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μμ λ° λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ κΈ°ν λͺ¨λλ‘λΆν° μμ νλ νκΈνλ¦μ μ μ¬μ μΌλ‘ μ°½μΆνμ¬ λλ¨Έμ§ μμ±κ΅° ꡬμΆμ μΆκ° μ§μν μ μμ κ²μΌλ‘ κ³μ λ―Ώκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ€μ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ κ° λ°©κΈ μ€λͺ λλ¦° μ‘°μ μμ λΉμ© λ° μλ³Έμ μ§μΆμ λ³ν μμ μ λ€μν μμΈμΌλ‘ μΈν΄ μ§μ°λκ±°λ μ€νλμ§ μμ μ μμ΅λλ€. |
| Our revenue ramp began in earnest during the third quarter, and we expect it to continue to grow in Q4. With respect to revenue generation, we believe we can enable continuous space mobile service across key markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan and other strategic markets with the launch and operation of approximately 45 to 60 BlueBird satellites and additional strategic worldwide markets with the launch and operation of approximately 90 BlueBird satellites. Further, as we continue to launch and deploy our constellation, we will continue to support U.S. government applications currently ongoing and accelerating as our constellation grows. | μ°λ¦¬μ λ§€μΆ μ¦κ°μΈλ 3λΆκΈ°μ 본격μ μΌλ‘ μμλμμΌλ©°, 4λΆκΈ°μλ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μ±μ₯ν κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. λ§€μΆ μ°½μΆκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨νμ¬, μ½ 45~60κΈ°μ BlueBird μμ± λ°μ¬ λ° μ΄μμ ν΅ν΄ λ―Έκ΅, μ λ½, μΌλ³Έ λ° κΈ°ν μ λ΅μ μμ₯κ³Ό κ°μ ν΅μ¬ μμ₯μμ μ§μμ μΈ μ°μ£Ό λͺ¨λ°μΌ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μ 곡ν μ μμ κ²μΌλ‘ νλ¨νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ½ 90κΈ°μ BlueBird μμ± λ°μ¬ λ° μ΄μμ ν΅ν΄ μΆκ°μ μΈ μ λ΅μ κΈλ‘λ² μμ₯μΌλ‘ νλν μ μμ κ²μΌλ‘ λ³΄κ³ μμ΅λλ€. λν, μμ±κ΅° λ°μ¬ λ° λ°°μΉλ₯Ό μ§μν¨μ λ°λΌ, νμ¬ μ§ν μ€μΈ λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ μ ν리μΌμ΄μ μ κ³μ μ§μν κ²μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ μμ±κ΅° νλμ λ°λΌ κ°μνλ κ²μ λλ€. |
| In the third quarter, we recognized GAAP revenue of $14.7 million, primarily driven by gateway hardware sales and various commercial and U.S. government service milestone achievements. Additionally, in Q3, we completed initial technical trials with an MNO partner, which revenue will be accounted for as we provide future services. We are reiterating our belief that we have a revenue opportunity for 2025 in the range of $50 million to $75 million and expect revenue in Q4 will continue to be driven by gateway equipment sales, achievement of U.S. government milestones and recognition of initial commercial service revenue. | 3λΆκΈ°μ λΉμ¬λ 1,470λ§ λ¬λ¬μ GAAP κΈ°μ€ λ§€μΆμ μΈμνμΌλ©°, μ΄λ μ£Όλ‘ κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ νλμ¨μ΄ νλ§€μ λ€μν μμ© λ° λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ μλΉμ€ λ§μΌμ€ν€ λ¬μ±μ κΈ°μΈν©λλ€. λν 3λΆκΈ°μλ MNO(μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μ) ννΈλμμ μ΄κΈ° κΈ°μ μνμ μλ£νμΌλ©°, μ΄μ κ΄λ ¨λ λ§€μΆμ ν₯ν μλΉμ€ μ 곡 μ νκ³μ²λ¦¬λ μμ μ λλ€. λΉμ¬λ 2025λ λ§€μΆ κΈ°νκ° 5,000λ§ λ¬λ¬μμ 7,500λ§ λ¬λ¬ λ²μμ μμ κ²μ΄λΌλ μ λ§μ μ¬νμΈνλ©°, 4λΆκΈ° λ§€μΆμ κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μ₯λΉ νλ§€, λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ λ§μΌμ€ν€ λ¬μ±, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄κΈ° μμ© μλΉμ€ λ§€μΆ μΈμμ μν΄ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ 견μΈλ κ²μΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. |
| The achievement of our revenue plan remains subject to several contingencies, including, one, the successful launch and deployment of Block 2 BlueBird satellites related to U.S. government applications contractual milestone achievements; two, critical gateway equipment sales to our MNO partners in support of their anticipated commercialization efforts of space mobile service; and three, service revenues in connection with the activation of our commercial service provided by our existing and planned deployed and operational satellites. There can be no assurances that we will achieve any or all of these objectives and our actual revenue results will vary based on a multitude of factors. | μ ν¬ λ§€μΆ κ³νμ λ¬μ±μ μ¬λ¬ κ°μ§ λΆνμ€μ±μ λ°λΌ λ¬λΌμ§ μ μμ΅λλ€. 첫째, λ―Έκ΅ μ λΆ μμ© νλ‘κ·Έλ¨ κ΄λ ¨ κ³μ½μ λ§μΌμ€ν€ λ¬μ±κ³Ό μ°κ³λ Block 2 BlueBird μμ±μ μ±κ³΅μ μΈ λ°μ¬ λ° λ°°μΉ, λμ§Έ, MNO(μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μ) ννΈλλ€μ μ°μ£Ό λͺ¨λ°μΌ μλΉμ€ μμ©ν λ Έλ ₯μ μ§μνκΈ° μν ν΅μ¬ κ²μ΄νΈμ¨μ΄ μ₯λΉ νλ§€, μ μ§Έ, νμ¬ λ° ν₯ν λ°°μΉΒ·μ΄μ μμ μΈ μμ±λ€μ΄ μ 곡νλ μμ© μλΉμ€ κ°μμ κ΄λ ¨λ μλΉμ€ λ§€μΆμ λλ€. μ ν¬κ° μ΄λ¬ν λͺ©νλ€μ μ λΆ λλ μΌλΆλΌλ λ¬μ±ν μ μλ€λ 보μ₯μ μμΌλ©°, μ€μ λ§€μΆ μ€μ μ λ€μν μμΈλ€μ λ°λΌ λ¬λΌμ§ κ²μ λλ€. |

| Primary drivers for this cash increase include execution of 2 convertible notes offerings in July and October for a total of approximately $1.6 billion of net proceeds, approximately $389 million net proceeds raised from the 2025 ATM facilities during Q3 and through October and the unwinding of the CAP call that we purchased earlier this year in connection with the January 2025 convertible note offering for $74.5 million of proceeds to the company. | μ΄λ¬ν νκΈ μ¦κ°μ μ£Όμ μμΈμΌλ‘λ 7μκ³Ό 10μμ μ€νλ 2건μ μ νμ¬μ± λ°νμ ν΅ν΄ μ΄ μ½ 16μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ μμμ΅μ ν보νμΌλ©°, 3λΆκΈ°μ 10μκΉμ§ 2025λ ATM νλ‘κ·Έλ¨μ ν΅ν΄ μ½ 3μ΅ 8,900λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μμμ΅μ μ‘°λ¬νκ³ , μ¬ν΄ μ΄ 2025λ 1μ λ§κΈ° μ νμ¬μ± λ°νκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨νμ¬ λ§€μ νλ μΊ‘ μ½(CAP call)μ μ²μ°νμ¬ 7,450λ§ λ¬λ¬μ μμ΅μ νμ¬κ° ν보ν κ²μ λ€ μ μμ΅λλ€. |
| In addition to the work we did raising additional capital via the recent 2% 10-year convertible notes, we also took action since our last earnings call by further reducing our outstanding debt related to the January 2025 convertible notes due in 2032. Among 3 equitization transactions, including another $50 million equitized in October, we have now converted $410 million of the outstanding $460 million of the 4.25% convertible notes due in 2032 into 17.3 million Class A shares.

| I should also mention that, subsequent to Q3, in October, we put in place a bridge facility to manage onetime payments related to the Ligado L-band usage rights transaction ahead of planned funding by the SPV delayed draw term loan upon receiving FCC approval.

| The combination of increasing commercial and government opportunities, rapidly scaling manufacturing and satellite launch operations and a fortified balance sheet position AST SpaceMobile for an exciting end to 2025. Through the third quarter of 2025, we remain on target to execute against our plans to bring space mobile service to market in the coming periods as we begin to launch our Block 2 BlueBird satellites beginning in December. And with that, this completes the presentation component of our business update call, and I'll pass it back to Scott. Thank you.

| Operator: [ Kevin ] from Vancouver asks, what is the difference in processing capacity between Block 2 FPGA satellites and Block 2 ASICs? | **Operator:** λ°΄μΏ λ²μ Kevinμ΄ μ§λ¬Έν©λλ€. Block 2 FPGA μμ±κ³Ό Block 2 ASIC κ°μ μ²λ¦¬ μ©λ μ°¨μ΄λ 무μμΈκ°μ? |
| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Kevin, that's a great question. Listen, we have been improving, on a ten-fold steps, our processing capacity for the satellites. We started with 100 megahertz on BlueWalker 3, which, by the way, is still working and functioning, then to upgrade it to 1 gigahertz, which is the current -- so a tenfold increase with the current satellite or current orbit in operations. And then the one that we're starting to launch immediately here have another increased factor of 10 gigahertz -- going up to 10 gigahertz for 9 gigahertz so another 10x factors. When you combine the processing capacity that we have on the satellites with the AI engine that we're developing to basically managing very efficiently the spectrum allocation of both power and bandwidth, this is a very -- this is the way that we do the -- through broadband connectivity from the space. And that -- for that, we developed our own chip. We call it the AST5000 that had a processing capacity to 10 gigahertz with enhanced features to take the most of the 10 gigahertz using our AI engines. | **Abel Avellan:** μ λ§ μ’μ μ§λ¬Έμ λλ€. μ ν¬λ μμ±μ μ²λ¦¬ μ©λμ 10λ°°μ© λ¨κ³μ μΌλ‘ κ°μ ν΄ μμ΅λλ€.

| Operator: [ Alvin ] from Massachusetts asks, as a forward-looking investor, I would like to know if the company is weighing the benefits of AI for its spectrum management. | **Operator:** λ§€μ¬μΆμΈμΈ μ μ¨λΉμ΄ μ§λ¬Έν©λλ€. λ―Έλ μ§ν₯μ μΈ ν¬μμλ‘μ, νμ¬κ° μ€ννΈλΌ κ΄λ¦¬μ AIμ μ΄μ μ κ²ν νκ³ μλμ§ μκ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. |
| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO We are more than weighing the benefit. We're working on it. We are implementing our AI engine for managing and administrating the spectrum. Each satellite had a capacity of 10 gigahertz processing bandwidth, but we feel that, effectively, we multiply that by several factors by effectively managing the allocation of spectrum and resources dynamically across the network using AI. And that's something that we've been working for a while. Thus, the system and the satellite have already been designed to have all the hooks and all the management capability, trading maximum benefit of AI on spectrum management. When you think about that, in average, terrestrial operators have per market in countries like United States, maybe around 250 megahertz to deploy spectrum between our own spectrum and spectrum provided by the operators, we -- yes, in the United States alone, we have access to around 80 megahertz. We will have access to around 80 megahertz of spectrum, 50 to be our own. And then you add an AI -- our AI engine to basically multiply that spectrum and make them much more efficient. This is a very significant new leg of the telco stack. So we see a world where you have WiFi, terrestrial, and now with the amount of capacity and spectrum that we can manage with our satellites and our AI engine to basically effectively use that spectrum. We believe that the usage of satellite become more and more and more relevant as we add satellites and then we add spectrum to the system. | **Abel Avellan:** μ°λ¦¬λ λ¨μν μ΄μ μ μ μΈμ§νλ κ²μ΄ μλλΌ μ€μ λ‘ μμ

| Operator: [ Kevin ] from Oregon asks, with the next series of launches starting possibly next month at Cape Canaveral, I have been wondering if or how AST SpaceMobile will structure a future launch event for retail shareholders. | **Operator:** |
| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Thanks, Kevin, for the question. As you can tell from the topics on this call, we're very, very much in a commercial mindset at this point and moving towards service delivery. But nonetheless, the launch campaign is very exciting, and we're very excited as well. We just shipped BlueBird 6. We're getting ready to ship BlueBird 7 and the rest of the BlueBirds are starting to come out of the factory. So we're very excited about the launch campaign. It's going to be a fantastic stretch of launches. And just like with our last launch where we had about 1,000 retail investors, we plan to invite as many as we can to the launch, and it's -- in each of the launches. So it's going to be a great campaign. We're super thrilled and 5 launches before the end of Q1 2026 and our 45 to 60 satellites during 2026. There's going to be a lot of opportunities for retail to come see, and we hope everybody comes along to participate on this journey with us. | **Scott Wisniewski:** μ§λ¬Έ κ°μ¬ν©λλ€, Kevin. μ€λ λ Όμλ μ£Όμ λ€μμ μ μ μλ―μ΄, μ ν¬λ νμ¬ μμ μ κ΄μ μ λ§€μ° μ§μ€νκ³ μμΌλ©° μλΉμ€ μ 곡μ ν₯ν΄ λμκ°κ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·ΈλΌμλ λΆκ΅¬νκ³ λ°μ¬ μΊ νμΈμ μ λ§ ν₯λ―Έμ§μ§νκ³ , μ ν¬λ λ§€μ° κΈ°λνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ°©κΈ BlueBird 6νΈλ₯Ό μΆννκ³ , BlueBird 7νΈ μΆνλ₯Ό μ€λΉ μ€μ΄λ©°, λλ¨Έμ§ BlueBirdλ€λ 곡μ₯μμ μμ λμ€κ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ°μ¬ μΊ νμΈμ λν΄ μ λ§ κΈ°λκ° ν½λλ€. νμμ μΈ μ°μ λ°μ¬κ° λ κ²μ λλ€. μ§λ λ°μ¬ λ μ½ 1,000λͺ μ κ°μΈ ν¬μμλ€μ μ΄μ²νλ κ²μ²λΌ, μ΄λ²μλ κ° λ°μ¬λ§λ€ κ°λ₯ν ν λ§μ λΆλ€μ μ΄μ²ν κ³νμ λλ€. μ λ§ λ©μ§ μΊ νμΈμ΄ λ κ²μ λλ€. μ ν¬λ μ λ§ κΈ°λκ° ν½λλ€. 2026λ 1λΆκΈ° λ§κΉμ§ 5ν λ°μ¬, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ 2026λ λμ 45~60κΈ°μ μμ±μ λ°μ¬ν μμ μ λλ€. κ°μΈ ν¬μμ μ¬λ¬λΆκ»μ μ§μ λ³΄μ€ μ μλ κΈ°νκ° λ§μ κ²μ΄λ©°, λͺ¨λ λΆλ€μ΄ μ ν¬μ ν¨κ» μ΄ μ¬μ μ λμ°Έν΄ μ£ΌμκΈΈ λ°λλλ€. |

| Andrew Johnson: Executive VP, CFO, Chief Legal Officer & Director I'll take that. This is Andy. Rupert, thank you for the question. It's clear that 2025 has been a fantastic opportunity for AST to access the capital markets. It's been a great climate for that. And as you point out, we recently completed our third convertible note deal of the year, the first in January, the second in July and the third one just recently last month. This was an incredible transaction for us and strengthening the balance sheet. As a reminder, we were able to raise net proceeds of a little over $1 billion at a 2% coupon with a 10-year term, a convertible note deal that hasn't been done in many, many years. So we're very happy with that result. The opportunity was there. And importantly, you point out, Rupert, that it is true, and we talked about it at the last earnings call, that we were previously fully funded for a constellation of 45 to 60 satellites. What this additional financing does is it provides us the ability to move faster with more flexibility on the balance sheet to go beyond those initial markets of the U.S., Europe, Japan and others that we talked about at 45 to 60 and to look worldwide in our coverage at a constellation of now being fully funded at 100-plus satellites. So consistent with our stc announcement, we are looking and working hard on commercial opportunities in other strategic markets across the world, and our balance sheet is now fortified to provide a runway to manufacture and launch satellites to support that worldwide constellation base. Thank you. | **Andrew Johnson:** 2025λ μ ASTκ° μλ³Έμμ₯μ μ κ·Όν μ μλ νμμ μΈ κΈ°νμ ν΄μμ΅λλ€. μ λ§ μ’μ μμ₯ νκ²½μ΄μμ£ . λ§μνμ λλ‘, μ ν¬λ μ¬ν΄ μΈ λ²μ§Έ μ νμ¬μ±(convertible note) λ°νμ μ΅κ·Ό μλ£νμ΅λλ€. 1μμ 첫 λ²μ§Έ, 7μμ λ λ²μ§Έ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ§λλ¬μ μΈ λ²μ§Έλ₯Ό μ§ννμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ² κ±°λλ λμ°¨λμ‘°νλ₯Ό κ°ννλ λ° μμ΄ μ λ§ λλΌμ΄ μ±κ³Όμμ΅λλ€. λ€μ νλ² λ§μλ리면, μ ν¬λ 10μ΅ λ¬λ¬κ° μ‘°κΈ λλ μμμ΅μ 2% μΏ ν°(coupon)μΌλ‘, λ§κΈ° 10λ 쑰건μΌλ‘ μ‘°λ¬νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ° μ νμ¬μ± κ±°λλ μ λ§ μ€λλ§μ λμ¨ κ²μ λλ€. κ·Έλμ μ΄ κ²°κ³Όμ λ§€μ° λ§μ‘±νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κΈ°νκ° μμκ³ , μ ν¬κ° κ·Έκ²μ μ νμ©νμ΅λλ€. 루νΌνΈκ»μ μ€μν μ μ μ§μ΄μ£Όμ ¨λλ°μ, λ§μνμ λλ‘ μ§λ μ€μ λ°νμμλ μΈκΈνλ―μ΄ μ ν¬λ μ΄μ μ 45~60κΈ°μ μμ± κ΅¬μ±μ λν μκΈμ μμ ν ν보ν μνμμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ² μΆκ° μκΈ μ‘°λ¬μ ν΅ν΄ μ»κ² λ κ²μ λμ°¨λμ‘°νμ λ λ§μ μ μ°μ±μ ν보νμ¬ λ λΉ λ₯΄κ² μμ§μΌ μ μλ λ₯λ ₯μ λλ€. 45~60κΈ° κ·λͺ¨μμ λ Όμνλ λ―Έκ΅, μ λ½, μΌλ³Έ λ± μ΄κΈ° μμ₯μ λμ΄μ, μ΄μ λ 100κΈ° μ΄μμ μμ± κ΅¬μ±μ λν μκΈμ μμ ν ν보ν¨μΌλ‘μ¨ μ μΈκ³μ μΈ μ»€λ²λ¦¬μ§λ₯Ό κ²ν ν μ μκ² λμμ΅λλ€. stc λ°νμ μΌκ΄λκ², μ°λ¦¬λ μ μΈκ³ λ€λ₯Έ μ λ΅μ μμ₯μμ μμ μ κΈ°νλ₯Ό μ°Ύκ³ μ΄μ¬ν λ Έλ ₯νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°λ¦¬μ μ¬λ¬΄μνν(balance sheet)λ μ΄μ μ μΈκ³ μμ±κ΅°(constellation) κΈ°λ°μ μ§μνκΈ° μν μμ± μ μ‘° λ° λ°μ¬λ₯Ό μν νμ£Όλ‘λ₯Ό μ 곡ν μ μλλ‘ κ°νλμμ΅λλ€. κ°μ¬ν©λλ€. |

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Great. So our strategy for about 2 years now has been to pursue our very long funnel of agreements, right? We have 50-plus agreements with operators globally and we have nearly 3 billion subscribers. So the strategy has been started with our best partners who are most aligned, build out those relationships, build out those agreements and bring in prepayments and long-term capital -- long-term revenue commitments. And so that strategy is unchanged. I think clearly, we have demonstrated access to the capital markets, but signing up these agreements with prepayments and commitments is still very much our strategy, and we'll balance all those factors appropriately. The way to think about them is relatively simple. Prepayments are for commercial services in the near term and the commitments can be near term, medium term, long term. And we balance each of those on each relationship and each situation as appropriate. But the strategy is really unchanged. We think it's playing out well, and we're going to continue it. | **Scott Wisniewski:** μ ν¬ μ λ΅μ μ§λ 2λ κ° μΌκ΄λκ² μ μ§λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. λ°λ‘ λ§€μ° κΈ΄ νμ΄νλΌμΈμ κ³μ½λ€μ μΆμ§νλ κ²μ΄μ£ . νμ¬ μ μΈκ³ ν΅μ μ¬μ μλ€κ³Ό 50κ° μ΄μμ κ³μ½μ 보μ νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ½ 30μ΅ λͺ μ κ°μ μλ₯Ό ν보νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ λ΅μ μμμ μ μ ν¬μ κ°μ₯ μ λ§λ μ΅κ³ μ ννΈλλ€κ³Ό ν¨κ» κ΄κ³λ₯Ό ꡬμΆνκ³ , κ³μ½μ νλνλ©°, μ μ§κΈκΈκ³Ό μ₯κΈ° λ§€μΆ μ½μ μ ν보νλ κ²μ΄μμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μ λ΅μ λ³ν¨μ΄ μμ΅λλ€. λ¬Όλ‘ μ ν¬κ° μλ³Έμμ₯μ λν μ κ·Όμ±μ λͺ νν μ μ¦νλ€κ³ μκ°νμ§λ§, μ μ§κΈκΈκ³Ό μ½μ μ ν¬ν¨ν κ³μ½ 체결μ μ¬μ ν μ ν¬μ ν΅μ¬ μ λ΅μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ¬ν λͺ¨λ μμλ€μ μ μ ν κ· νμκ² κ³ λ €ν κ²μ λλ€. μ΄ν΄νμλ λ°©λ²μ λΉκ΅μ κ°λ¨ν©λλ€. μ λΆκΈμ λ¨κΈ° μμ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μν κ²μ΄λ©°, μ½μ μ λ¨κΈ°, μ€κΈ°, μ₯κΈ°κ° λ μ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ κ° κ΄κ³μ μν©μ λ°λΌ μ μ νκ² κ· νμ λ§μΆκ³ μμ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ λ΅ μ체λ λ³ν¨μ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μ μ§νλκ³ μλ€κ³ μκ°νλ©°, μμΌλ‘λ κ³μ μΆμ§ν κ²μ λλ€. |

| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO We plan to have a -- well, first of all, when we launch these satellites, they have all the 3GPP frequencies, either in the low band or the mid-band, including all the MSS Band, the L and the S that we had acquired. Our plan is to interleave them between the low band and the mid-band. Now we're fully funded for doing that. And our plan is to start launching mid-band satellites by the end of next year. We want that to be in line with the road map that we have for -- in the U.S., Europe and Japan and now Saudi Arabia. And as we said, we're going to use this capital to basically deploy more globally in both operator spectrum and our own spectrum and be able to combine in the network, both in order to facilitate 120 megabit per second basically everywhere that we deploy both our bands and the operator bands. | **Abel Avellan:** λ¨Όμ λ§μλ리면, μ°λ¦¬κ° μ΄ μμ±λ€μ λ°μ¬ν λ μ λμκ³Ό μ€λμμ ν¬ν¨ν λͺ¨λ 3GPP μ£Όνμλ₯Ό νμ¬νκ² λ©λλ€. μ¬κΈ°μλ μ°λ¦¬κ° ν보ν Lλ°΄λμ Sλ°΄λ λ± λͺ¨λ MSS λμμ΄ ν¬ν¨λ©λλ€. μ°λ¦¬ κ³νμ μ λμκ³Ό μ€λμμ κ΅μ°¨ λ°°μΉνλ κ²μ

So we focus on using spectrum that is 3GPP that is already on devices and how we're starting with stc and all our partners here in the U.S., in Europe, in Japan, will be no different in the Middle East region, led by Saudi Arabia. | **Abel Avellan:** μ λ Scottμκ² stcμμ κ³μ½μ΄ μ΄λ»κ² μλνλμ§ μ€λͺ νλλ‘ νκ² μ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ°λ¦¬λ νμ λͺ¨λ λλ°μ΄μ€μμ μ¬μ© κ°λ₯ν ν΅μ μ¬μ μ μ€ννΈλΌμΌλ‘ μμν©λλ€. λ°λΌμ μ°λ¦¬λ μ΄λ―Έ λλ°μ΄μ€μ νμ¬λμ΄ μλ 3GPP μ€ννΈλΌμ νμ©νλ λ° μ§μ€νκ³ μμΌλ©°, stc λ° λ―Έκ΅, μ λ½, μΌλ³Έμ λͺ¨λ ννΈλμ¬λ€κ³Ό μμνλ λ°©μμ΄ μ¬μ°λμλΌλΉμλ₯Ό μ€μ¬μΌλ‘ ν μ€λ μ§μμμλ λμΌνκ² μ μ©λ κ²μ λλ€. |
| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer And on the commitment, so we put forward this new disclosure, Mike, this quarter of over $1 billion of commitments. And those are not soft commitments. Those are designed to be very valuable to us and very indicative of future expectations and very valuable, both in the debt context and also as guidance to the equity market. So when we say we have over $1 billion of revenue commitments, those are very hard commitments. And so we purposely put that out and we're not going to identify that with individual customers or individual contracts. But I would point you to the stc press release. We did mention that there was a prepayment and then also a long-term revenue commitment. So we're not going to map that to individual contracts going forward, but it is our strategy, and we'll provide updates from time to time as appropriate. But very importantly, we're now over $1 billion in total, which is a good outcome for us in line with our strategy, and we think consistent with the customer excitement about us and the customer excitement about putting this product into their customer hands. | **Scott Wisniewski:** μ½μ(commitment)μ κ΄ν΄μ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ΄λ² λΆκΈ°μ 10μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ μ½μμ λν μλ‘μ΄ κ³΅μλ₯Ό λ΄λμμ΅λλ€. μ΄κ²λ€μ λ¨μν μ½μμ΄ μλλλ€. μ°λ¦¬μκ² λ§€μ° κ°μΉ μκ³ , ν₯ν κΈ°λμΉλ₯Ό λͺ νν 보μ¬μ£Όλ©°, μ±κΆ μΈ‘λ©΄μμλ μ£Όμμμ₯μ λν κ°μ΄λμ€ μΈ‘λ©΄μμ λͺ¨λ λ§€μ° κ°μΉ μλλ‘ μ€κ³λμμ΅λλ€. λ°λΌμ μ°λ¦¬κ° 10μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ λ§€μΆ μ½μμ ν보νλ€κ³ λ§ν λ, μ΄λ λ§€μ° νμ€ν μ½μμ λλ€. κ·Έλμ μλμ μΌλ‘ μ΄λ₯Ό 곡κ°ν κ²μ΄κ³ , κ°λ³ κ³ κ°μ΄λ κ°λ³ κ³μ½μ νΉμ νμ¬ λ°νμ§λ μμ κ²μ λλ€. λ€λ§ stc 보λμλ£λ₯Ό μ°Έκ³ νμλ©΄, μ κΈκΈ(prepayment)κ³Ό μ₯κΈ° λ§€μΆ μ½μμ΄ μλ€κ³ μΈκΈν λ° μμ΅λλ€. μμΌλ‘ κ°λ³ κ³μ½μ λν΄ μΌμΌμ΄ 곡κ°νμ§λ μμ μμ μ΄μ§λ§, μ΄κ²μ΄ μ°λ¦¬μ μ λ΅μ΄λ©° μ μ ν μκΈ°μ μ λ°μ΄νΈλ₯Ό μ 곡νκ² μ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ λ§€μ° μ€μν μ μ μ΄μ μ΄ 10μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό λμ΄μ°λ€λ κ²μ΄κ³ , μ΄λ μ°λ¦¬ μ λ΅μ λΆν©νλ μ’μ μ±κ³Όμ λλ€. μ΄λ μ°λ¦¬μ λν κ³ κ°λ€μ λμ κ΄μ¬, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄ μ νμ μμ¬ κ³ κ°λ€μκ² μ 곡νκ³ μ νλ κ³ κ°λ€μ μ΄μμλ μΌμΉνλ€κ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. |

| Bryan Kraft: Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division I had a few if I could. First, I know that you reiterated your launch timing guidance in terms of the number of launches you're targeting by the end of 1Q and the end of next year. It seems like the launch time line now has become a bit more compressed with some delays at the front end of the summer and into the fall. Just with that in mind, I wanted to ask you about your confidence in achieving the 5 launches by the end of 1Q and the 60 satellites by the end of next year. Is there any more risk now in that time line from your perspective? And then separately, I wanted to ask you about the EU satellite constellation announcement. Are these satellites incremental to the plan? Or are they part of the existing 60 satellites by the end of next year. And if they are incremental, can you talk about the timing for launching them and what the CapEx and funding implications are? And then lastly, related to that, there's been some talk in the market about AST winning part of the IRIS2 mandate in Europe. Is that something that is happening? Is that real? Or is that just noise in the market? | **Bryan Kraft:** λͺ κ°μ§ μ§λ¬Έ λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. λ¨Όμ , 1λΆκΈ° λ§κΉμ§ λͺ©ννμλ λ°μ¬ νμμ λ΄λ

| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Okay. Bryan, I would try to dissect the question in 3 parts. Let me start with the launch, and I want to start with where are we with manufacturing. So by early 2026, Q1, first part of Q2, we will have 40 satellites built. So we are at 19, satellites, 19 at the moment, and we are at a pace of 6 satellites a month starting in December. And that match very well with the launches that we had already financially committed and we are in the manifest of our partners -- our launch partners to take them starting the 1 in India, mid-December and then following the launches from the Cape to add up to the 5 launches by the end of Q1. So we feel very confident on our launch campaign. This is been the culmination of our road map where we now have the ability to start launching by Q1, also our 10 gigahertz satellites that we plan to take the maximum out of them in the way that we manage that 10 gigahertz processing bandwidth per satellite. So we feel very comfortable there. As it relates to your question in Europe, I mean, we are an American company that operates globally. And as such, we we're that market by market. Our go to market is exclusively through the partners and telcos that we operate with, I mean, including European markets. As you see the reception of what we're doing in Europe, jointly with Vodafone have been incredible. Twenty one of the 25 top operators in Europe have basically committed or expected to be part of the network and the constellation that we are building as part of our constellation, but with certain features for European MNOs. And then that's really -- that add up to the 50-plus agreement that we had globally, reaching us over 3 billion subscribers that we can reach through the agreement that we have globally. | **Abel Avellan:** μ’μ΅λλ€, Bryan. μ§λ¬Έμ μΈ λΆλΆμΌλ‘ λλ μ λ΅λ³λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. λ¨Όμ λ°μ¬ μΌμ λΆν° λ§μλλ¦¬κ³ , μ μ‘° νν©λΆν° μμνκ² μ΅λλ€. 2026λ μ΄, 1λΆκΈ°μμ 2λΆκΈ° μ΄λ°κΉμ§ 40κΈ°μ μμ±μ μ μ μλ£ν μμ μ λλ€. νμ¬ 19κΈ°λ₯Ό 보μ νκ³ μμΌλ©°, 12μλΆν° μ 6κΈ°μ© μμ°νλ μλλ₯Ό μ μ§νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ΄λ―Έ μ¬μ μ μΌλ‘ νμ½ν λ°μ¬ μΌμ κ³Ό λ§€μ° μ λ§μλ¨μ΄μ§λ©°, λ°μ¬ ννΈλμ¬λ€μ μΌμ νμλ ν¬ν¨λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. 12μ μ€μ μΈλμμ 첫 λ°μ¬λ₯Ό μμμΌλ‘, μΌμ΄νμμμ λ°μ¬λ€μ΄ μ΄μ΄μ§λ©΄μ 1λΆκΈ° λ§κΉμ§ μ΄ 5νμ λ°μ¬λ₯Ό μλ£ν κ³νμ λλ€. λ°μ¬ μΊ νμΈμ λν΄ λ§€μ° νμ νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄κ²μ μ°λ¦¬ λ‘λλ§΅μ μ μ μ΄λΌκ³ ν μ μμ΅λλ€. 1λΆκΈ°λΆν° 10κΈ°κ°ν€λ₯΄μΈ μμ±μ λ°μ¬ν μ μλ μλμ κ°μΆκ² λμκ³ , μμ±λΉ 10κΈ°κ°ν€λ₯΄μΈ μ²λ¦¬ λμνμ κ΄λ¦¬νλ λ°©μμ ν΅ν΄ μ΅λνμ μ±λ₯μ λμ΄λΌ κ³νμ λλ€. μ΄ λΆλΆμ λν΄μλ λ§€μ° νμ μ κ°μ§κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ λ½ μμ₯μ λν μ§λ¬Έκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨ν΄μ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ°λ¦¬λ κΈλ‘λ²λ‘ μ¬μ μ μ΄μνλ λ―Έκ΅ κΈ°μ μ λλ€. λ°λΌμ μμ₯λ³λ‘ μ κ·Όνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬μ μμ₯ μ§μΆ μ λ΅μ μ μ μΌλ‘ ννΈλμ¬μ ν΅μ μ¬λ€μ ν΅ν΄ μ΄λ£¨μ΄μ§λ©°, μ λ½ μμ₯λ λ§μ°¬κ°μ§μ λλ€. 보λ€ν°κ³Ό ν¨κ» μ λ½μμ μ§ννκ³ μλ μ¬μ μ λν λ°μμ μ λ§ λλΌμΈ μ λλ‘ μ’μ΅λλ€. μ λ½ μμ 25κ° ν΅μ μ¬ μ€ 21κ°μ¬κ° κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ μ°λ¦¬κ° ꡬμΆνκ³ μλ λ€νΈμν¬μ μμ±κ΅°μ μ°Έμ¬νκΈ°λ‘ μ½μνκ±°λ μ°Έμ¬ν κ²μΌλ‘ μμλ©λλ€. μ λ½ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ μλ€μ μν νΉμ κΈ°λ₯λ€μ ν¬ν¨ν΄μ λ§μ΄μ£ . κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄κ²μ΄ μ€μ λ‘ μ μΈκ³μ μΌλ‘ μ°λ¦¬κ° 체결ν 50κ° μ΄μμ κ³μ½μΌλ‘ μ΄μ΄μ§λ κ²μ΄λ©°, μ΄λ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μ μΈκ³μ μΌλ‘ 30μ΅ λͺ μ΄μμ κ°μ μλ€μκ² λλ¬ν μ μκ² λ©λλ€. |

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Yes, we don't want to comment on new contract awards or anything like that. But given that we are already building a constellation with multiple capabilities, we think we're very well positioned for any country or any customer that's looking to get this capability, right? The incremental ability for us and the marginal economics for us to build out additional capabilities in orbit is very high, given our tech, given our manufacturing, given our existing ecosystem we've created. So I think we're very well positioned for opportunities like that.

| Colin Canfield: Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Research Division I appreciate the sensitivity in terms of kind of IRIS commentary, but maybe just talking about kind of your supply chain versus the European supply chain. I think when investors kind of saw the 2030 targets around IRIS and some of the recent headlines in terms of kind of antitrust and mergers between kind of the, let's say, the existing supply chain folks for that domain, it's pretty obvious that's sort of like back and forth is going to limit their capabilities. So maybe without mentioning IRIS, if you could maybe talk about kind of how you think about your aperture for additional bands and leveraging the economies of scale that you have to do more than just S, L and C-Band. | **Colin Canfield:** IRIS κ΄λ ¨ λ Όνμ λν λ―Όκ°μ±μ μ΄ν΄νμ§λ§, μ λ½ κ³΅κΈλ§ λλΉ λΉμ¬μ 곡κΈλ§μ λν΄ λ§μλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. ν¬μμλ€μ΄ IRIS κ΄λ ¨ 2030λ λͺ©νμ ν΄λΉ λΆμΌμ κΈ°μ‘΄ 곡κΈλ§ μ μ²΄λ€ κ°μ λ°λ μ λ° μΈμν©λ³ κ΄λ ¨ μ΅κ·Ό ν€λλΌμΈμ λ³΄μ ¨μ λ, κ·Έλ¬ν κ³΅λ°©μ΄ κ·Έλ€μ μλμ μ νν κ²μ΄λΌλ μ μ λ§€μ° λͺ λ°±ν©λλ€.

| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Yes. I mean -- well, first of all, our platform, it is designed to basically capture over 1,000 megahertz of spectrum that can be tuned across all 3GPP bands in the low band and the mid-band. So we basically design our network where we can take any band in any country as long as 3GPP, as long it's in devices, we can tune into it. So -- and our incremental cost for that is practically 0 because that is all software defined. In term of, we will manufacture on how -- who we are. We are an American company. We manufacture in the United States. We are based in Midland, Texas, and -- but we operate globally. So -- and we're in the business of partnering with the MNOs, which are local, are in the local jurisdictions. We partner with them. They provide the spectrum. Sometimes we bring our own spectrum and complement that in order to deliver the best experience possible in the future for the end user device that basically, no matter what phones they're using and they get 120 megabit per second from space. So that's really who we are. That's our strategy. We're Americans. We're based here. We announced we had over 1,800 people working on our system. But yes, we -- obviously, we're going to look very aggressively all around the globe. To add spectrum that is in local jurisdictions that is managed by local regulators and partner with local MNOs to offer the best of our services to each of the customers. So -- but I wanted to make it clear, we're -- our focus is -- we're an American company that operates in America. | **Abel Avellan:** λ€, μ°μ μ ν¬ νλ«νΌμ κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ 1,000λ©κ°ν€λ₯΄μΈ μ΄μμ μ€ννΈλΌμ ν¬μ°©ν μ μλλ‘ μ€κ³λμ΄ μμΌλ©°, μ λμκ³Ό μ€λμμ λͺ¨λ 3GPP λμμμ μ‘°μ μ΄ κ°λ₯ν©λλ€. κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ μ ν¬ λ€νΈμν¬λ 3GPP κΈ°μ€μ΄κ³ λλ°μ΄μ€μμ μ§μνλ λμμ΄λΌλ©΄, μ΄λ κ΅κ°μ μ΄λ€ λμμ΄λ νμ©ν μ μλλ‘ μ€κ³λμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄μ λν μΆκ° λΉμ©μ μ¬μ€μ μ λ‘μ

And as we think about kind of the sizing of the war chest that AST has put together, that tracks kind of roughly in terms of cash on hand to some of the legacy satellite communications debt levels, how do you think about kind of going out, acquiring either future spectrum or even something that might kind of get you closer to free cash flow positive sooner?

| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Yes. I mean, at the core of our strategy is partnering with the MNOs. The MNOs in the United States, we had access to around 80 megahertz of spectrum, call it 50 of our own and another 30 in combination of low band and mid-band spectrum available for us. So that, we believe, is a significant amount, especially when you start applying AI techniques to maximize it and make it more efficient. If you take into consideration roughly by market and roughly each market in the United States have around 250 megahertz of terrestrial deployed spectrum and we have access to around 80 for satellite, you can see that that's a very significant portion. So we feel that we are very equipped to globally compete. So that's why we acquired the 50 megahertz in the United States. We have a priority right for another 60 in the United States. We're partnering with the global MNO ecosystem in Europe for Europe. So our focus is launching -- building satellites, which we are now at a rate that we feel proud and meet our business needs, which is around 6 per month of the largest satellites ever launched into LEO. We're doing that. We're breaking a world record every time that we take a satellite out of the factory, is the largest ever launched. So that's our primary focus, manufacturing. Second to that is launching them. And third to them is bring this service globally with a combination of local spectrum from the MNO and our own to basically offer the broadband experience as close as possible to terrestrial by using space. | **Abel Avellan:** λ€, μ ν¬ μ λ΅μ ν΅μ¬μ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ

| Christopher Schoell: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division I just want to follow up on the funding progress. I recognize that you are saying you're fully funded, I believe, for 90 satellites in your queue. But will you continue to be opportunistic? And how should we think about additional capital raises as we go into 2026? And then thank you for the color on the 4Q OpEx and CapEx. Just given the ramp in Block 2 production into '26, should we view 4Q as a good run rate when modeling out next year? Or will the timing of the launch payments cause spending to fluctuate? | **Christopher Schoell:** 90κ° μμ±μ λν μκΈ μ‘°λ¬μ΄ μλ£λμλ€λ μ μ μΈμ§νκ³ μμ΅λλ€λ§, μμΌλ‘λ κ³μ κΈ°νμ£Όμμ μΌλ‘ μ κ·Όνμ€ κ±΄κ°μ? κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ 2026λ μΌλ‘ κ°λ©΄μ μΆκ° μλ³Έ μ‘°λ¬μ λν΄ μ΄λ»κ² μκ°ν΄μΌ ν κΉμ? κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ 4λΆκΈ° μ΄μλΉμ μλ³Έμ§μΆμ λν μ€λͺ κ°μ¬ν©λλ€.

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Chris, I'll take the first part and then Andy can take the second part. So in terms of fund flows, I guess, is the best way to think about it, I would look to the model on the commercial side and the comments we've made earlier in the call, where we're laser-focused on bringing in commercial prepayments, commercial commitments and ultimately, commercial revenue as soon as possible. We've reiterated our expectations on revenue in Q4. And going into 2026, we certainly expect continued growth. So we are very, very focused on the commercial side, which is why you saw the big announcements in the last month or so and the new disclosure on commitments for this call. And so that's definitely our focus. We thought the moment was right to continue to build the cash balance and accelerate the time lines and run towards the growth opportunity, but in terms of our focus and our energy and where we're going to spend our time, it's 100% with customers. And the prepayments and commitment strategy is the right one. And on launch? | **Scott Wisniewski:** μκΈ νλ¦ μΈ‘λ©΄μμ λ§μλ리면, μμ λΆλ¬Έ λͺ¨λΈκ³Ό μ€λ μ½μμ μμ μΈκΈν λ΄μ©λ€μ μ°Έκ³ νμλ©΄ κ°μ₯ μ’μ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μμ μ λΆκΈ(commercial prepayments), μμ μ½μ κΈ(commercial commitments), κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κΆκ·Ήμ μΌλ‘λ μμ λ§€μΆμ κ°λ₯ν ν 빨리 ν보νλ λ° μ§μ€νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. 4λΆκΈ° λ§€μΆμ λν κΈ°λμΉλ₯Ό μ¬νμΈνκ³ , 2026λ μλ μ§μμ μΈ μ±μ₯μ νμ€ν κΈ°λνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ μμ λΆλ¬Έμ λ§€μ° μ§μ€νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μ΄κ²μ΄ μ§λ ν λ¬ μ λ μ¬μ΄μ ν° λ°νλ€μ νκ³ μ΄λ² μ½μμ μ½μ κΈμ λν μλ‘μ΄ κ³΅μλ₯Ό ν μ΄μ μ λλ€. μ΄κ²μ΄ νμ€ν μ ν¬μ μ§μ€ λΆμΌμ λλ€. νκΈ μκ³ λ₯Ό κ³μ λλ¦¬κ³ μΌμ μ μλΉκ²¨ μ±μ₯ κΈ°νλ₯Ό ν₯ν΄ λμκ°κΈ°μ μ§κΈμ΄ μ κΈ°λΌκ³ νλ¨νμ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ°λ¦¬μ μ§μ€λ ₯κ³Ό μλμ§, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μκ°μ ν¬μν κ³³μ 100% κ³ κ°μ λλ€. μ λΆ κ²°μ μ μ½μ μ λ΅μ΄ μ¬λ°λ₯Έ λ°©ν₯μ λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆμ κ΄λ ¨ν΄μλμ? |
| Andrew Johnson: Executive VP, CFO, Chief Legal Officer & Director Yes. I would just add that, as Scott said, the focus is commercial. I mean we're always going to be opportunistic and open-minded about good capital markets, of course. But given where we are now, we have the flexibility to perhaps pull launch forward as opportunity allows. And we'll be prudent about that, continue to kind of weigh opportunities on the equity side. We also look at attractive things on the debt side. We believe that market will open up a little bit as we progress. So it's -- our priority is the commercial aspects of the business now, and we'll continue to give good thought. But I spend my time thinking about how to prudently deploy that capital that we've now raised on the balance sheet. | **Andrew Johnson:** λ€, λ§λΆμ΄μλ©΄ μ€μ½§μ΄ λ§μλλ¦° κ²μ²λΌ μ°λ¦¬μ μ΄μ μ μμ μ μΈ‘λ©΄μ μμ΅λλ€. λ¬Όλ‘ μ°λ¦¬λ νμ μ’μ μλ³Έμμ₯ κΈ°νμ λν΄μλ κΈ°νμ£Όμμ μ΄κ³ μ΄λ¦° λ§μμ κ°μ§κ³ μμ΅λλ€. νμ§λ§ νμ¬ μ°λ¦¬μ μν©μ κ³ λ €ν λ, κΈ°νκ° νλ½νλ λλ‘ μΆμ μμ μ μλΉκΈΈ μ μλ μ μ°μ±μ κ°μ§κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄ λΆλΆμ λν΄μλ μ μ€νκ² μ κ·Όν κ²μ΄λ©°, μ£Όμ μΈ‘λ©΄μ κΈ°νλ€λ κ³μν΄μ κ²ν ν κ²μ λλ€. λν λΆμ± μΈ‘λ©΄μμλ λ§€λ ₯μ μΈ μ΅μ λ€μ μ΄ν΄λ³΄κ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬κ° μ§μ μ μ΄λ£¨λ©΄μ ν΄λΉ μμ₯μ΄ μ‘°κΈμ© μ΄λ¦΄ κ²μΌλ‘ λ―Ώκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ°λΌμ μ°λ¦¬μ μ°μ μμλ νμ¬ μ¬μ μ μμ μ μΈ‘λ©΄μ΄λ©°, κ³μν΄μ μ μ€νκ² κ³ λ―Όν κ²μ λλ€. μ λ νμ¬ λμ°¨λμ‘°νμ ν보ν μλ³Έμ μ΄λ»κ² μ μ€νκ² λ°°μΉν κ²μΈκ°μ λν΄ κ³ λ―Όνλ λ° μκ°μ μκ³ μμ΅λλ€. |
| Christopher Schoell: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Great. And I can just follow up on the 4Q OpEx and CapEx, is that a good run rate when we start thinking about next year? Or can that be a little volatile? | **Christopher Schoell:** μ’μ΅λλ€. 4λΆκΈ° μ΄μλΉ(OpEx)μ μλ³Έμ§μΆ(CapEx)μ λν΄ νμ μ§λ¬Έ λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. λ΄λ μ μκ°ν λ μ΄ μμ€μ΄ μ μ ν κΈ°μ€μΉκ° λ κΉμ? μλλ©΄ λ€μ λ³λμ±μ΄ μμ μ μμκΉμ? |
| Andrew Johnson: Executive VP, CFO, Chief Legal Officer & Director Will be a little volatile. I think on OpEx, it's pretty darn close because we've been growing so dynamically as the years progressed. And we're at a stage now, as Abel and I've said it, close to 1,800 employees and workforce. And that OpEx feels pretty good and consistent. On the CapEx side, it's going to ebb and flow. We've been roughly in that close range the last couple quarters. But as we get closer to launch and clearly '26 is closer to consistent cadence over every 30, 45 days, we'll have some spikes and some lulls and when launch payments are due. I think what our plan is on that, though, is we've told you how we feel in Q4, and we're halfway through that quarter. So we have good visibility, and then we'll come out after the year and give you an outlook on '26 holistically, both on OpEx and CapEx when we talk again toward the end of February, early March. | **Andrew Johnson:** λ€μ λ³λμ±μ΄ μμ κ²μ

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer So we're not going to give up an average duration, but I would say, it does vary. When you look at the contracts we've signed, they've been as long as 5, 6, 10 years, right? So each of the contracts is a little different. And the revenue commitment number that we disclosed, it is primarily with the definitive agreements, but there is some others in other binding agreements as well. So that's how to think about it. It's going to vary, but it's a decent mix of short term, medium term and long term and structured well for the company. | **Scott Wisniewski:** νκ· κ³μ½ κΈ°κ°μ ꡬ체μ μΌλ‘ λ§μλ리기λ μ΄λ ΅μ§λ§, κ³μ½λ§λ€ μλΉν λ€λ₯΄λ€κ³ λ§μλ릴 μ μμ΅λλ€. μ§κΈκΉμ§ 체결ν κ³μ½λ€μ 보면 5λ

| Louie Dipalma: William Blair & Company L.L.C., Research Division And in the past, you've discussed how your satellite processing tech can like recombine the disparate spectrum holdings from AT&T and Verizon to create a cohesive near nationwide footprint for approximately 5 megahertz.

| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO No, it is working very well. We are planning to be ready for nationwide service early in the year on an intermittent basis. The level of intermittency will reduce drastically, as we keep adding satellites. But you are correct. Our satellites have enough flexibility that we were able to take a spectrum from AT&T, spectrum from Verizon, combine it up and make a nationwide service or near nationwide service. That is -- that will be combined with our 50 megahertz. And our technology has the ability to pick and choose terrestrial spectrum, combining with satellite spectrum and offer that as a package to the end user. | **Abel Avellan:** μλμ, λ§€μ° μ μ§νλκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ°μ΄μ μ κ΅ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό κ°νμ μΌλ‘ μ 곡ν μ μλλ‘ μ€λΉν κ³νμ λλ€. μμ±μ κ³μ μΆκ°ν¨μ λ°λΌ κ°νμ± μμ€μ λν κ°μν κ²μ λλ€. λ§μνμ κ²μ΄ λ§μ΅λλ€. μ°λ¦¬ μμ±μ μΆ©λΆν μ μ°μ±μ κ°μΆκ³ μμ΄μ AT&Tμ μ€ννΈλΌκ³Ό Verizonμ μ€ννΈλΌμ κ°μ Έμ κ²°ν©νμ¬ μ κ΅ μλΉμ€ λλ μ κ΅μ κ°κΉμ΄ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό λ§λ€ μ μμμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ°λ¦¬μ 50λ©κ°ν€λ₯΄μΈ μ κ²°ν©λ κ²μ λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°λ¦¬ κΈ°μ μ μ§μν μ€ννΈλΌμ μ ννκ³ μμ± μ€ννΈλΌκ³Ό κ²°ν©νμ¬ μ΅μ’ μ¬μ©μμκ² ν¨ν€μ§λ‘ μ 곡ν μ μλ λ₯λ ₯μ κ°μΆκ³ μμ΅λλ€. |

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer | **Scott Wisniewski:** The user wants me to translate "President & Chief Strategy Officer" but there's no actual content to translate - it's just a title. According to the instructions, I should not include speaker names or titles in the translation, as I'm only supposed to translate the spoken content. Since there's no actual spoken content provided, I should wait for the actual content to translate. However, if I must respond, I should indicate that there's no content to translate. But looking at the instructions more carefully, it says "Translate only the spoken content" - since there is no spoken content here, just a title, I should not output anything or indicate that content is needed. Let me reconsider - the user might be testing or there might be an error. The most appropriate response would be to wait for actual content or indicate no content was provided. But the instructions say "Output in Korean only" for translations. Given the ambiguity, I'll provide a brief response indicating no content to translate. λ²μν λ°μΈ λ΄μ©μ΄ μ 곡λμ§ μμμ΅λλ€. μ§μ± λͺ λ§ νμλμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. |

| Greg Pendy: Just a real quick one. Given the MNO momentum that you've seen with stc and Verizon, I guess your 50 MNOs represent roughly 3 billion subs. If I'm not mistaken, the market or the TAM is probably $5.6 billion. Just can you talk about, given your partnership model, about how many large MNO opportunities are left out there in the market. | **Greg Pendy:** μ λ§ κ°λ¨ν μ§λ¬Έ νλλ§ λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. stcμ Verizonμμ 보μ¬μ£Όμ MNO λͺ¨λ©ν μ κ³ λ €ν λ, κ·μ¬μ 50κ° MNOκ° λλ΅ 30μ΅ κ°μ μλ₯Ό λννλ κ²μΌλ‘ μκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ κ° μλͺ» μκ³ μμ§ μλ€λ©΄, μμ₯ λλ TAM(Total Addressable Market, μ 체 μ μ¬ μμ₯)μ μλ§λ 56μ΅ μ λμΌ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. κ·μ¬μ ννΈλμ λͺ¨λΈμ κ°μν λ, μμ₯μ λ¨μμλ λν MNO κΈ°νκ° μΌλ§λ λλμ§ λ§μν΄ μ£Όμ€ μ μμΌμ κ°μ? |
| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Sure. So we -- the interesting thing about how we've approached the market and how we built the company is that we're very favorable to MNOs. We've structured our technology, our network, our go-to-market strategy, even our cap stack, right, even the investors, it's very favorable intentionally towards our customer, the operator. So as we've built the ecosystem over the last 5 to 10 years, it's really been around who's most aligned, who can -- who's most forward thinking. And as we get closer to service, there's less forward thinking, and it's more that everybody feels that they need this capability. So we have this fascinating dynamic where we're not really constrained by historical relationships or operators that want to work with us. We find pretty much nearly all the operators in the world, if not all, want to work with us and want to learn more and want to participate. So we're going to continue to harvest that base for good contracts for the company for the initial markets that we deploy and then grow that base into the medium tail and the long tail as we grow. So I think in terms of big, big MNO opportunities, it's -- we've chosen not to do business in China or Russia but -- and other smaller restricted countries. But other than that, most operators are good candidates and have some level of dialogue with us, and we're going to continue to pursue those opportunities. | **Scott Wisniewski:** λ€, κ·Έλ μ΅λλ€. μ ν¬κ° μμ₯μ μ κ·Όνκ³ νμ¬λ₯Ό ꡬμΆν΄μ¨ λ°©μμ ν₯λ―Έλ‘μ΄ μ μ μ΄λν΅μ μ¬μ

| Christopher Quilty: Quilty Space Inc., Research Division Great. And maybe to follow on, I mean you're capitalized now for 100 satellites. Again, I'm assuming that's all for the commercial side, obviously, Secretary of Department of War, Hegseth speech, Friday indicating that contractors are going to have to commit their own capital to getting things done. Or is it fair to assume that most of the programs you're working on will be more in the sort of Star -- SpaceX Starshield model of vendor built and operated government-owned? | **Christopher Quilty:** μ’μ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ νμ μ§λ¬ΈμΌλ‘, νμ¬ μμ± 100κΈ° λΆλμ μλ³Έμ ν보νμ ¨λλ°μ. μ΄κ²μ΄ λͺ¨λ μμ μ©μ΄λΌκ³ κ°μ νλ κ²μ΄ λ§λμ§μ. μ§λ κΈμμΌ ν€κ·ΈμΈμ€ κ΅λ°©μ₯κ΄μ μ°μ€μμ κ³μ½μ 체λ€μ΄ μ체 μλ³Έμ ν¬μ ν΄μΌ νλ€κ³ μΈκΈνλλ°, κ·μ¬κ° μ§ν μ€μΈ λλΆλΆμ νλ‘κ·Έλ¨λ€μ΄ μ€νμ΄μ€Xμ μ€νμ΄λ(Starshield) λͺ¨λΈμ²λΌ λ―Όκ° μ μ²΄κ° κ΅¬μΆνκ³ μ΄μνλ μ λΆκ° μμ νλ λ°©μμ΄ λ κ²μΌλ‘ λ΄λ λ κΉμ? |
| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Yes. I mean, we have been a big proponent for a long time for the government for the dual-use COMSAT. Basically, we believe that to maintain competitiveness for United States, the ability to combine commercial usage with government usage is paramount. And so we basically -- our funnel with the government, which is very substantial, it calls for that model. So we don't discard there will be occasions that there will manufacture certain assets tailor made to the government, but we're prioritizing the dual use in every opportunity that we have. | **Abel Avellan:** λ€, μ ν¬λ μ€λ«λμ μ λΆμ μ΄μ€ μ©λ ν΅μ μμ±(dual-use COMSAT)μ κ°λ ₯ν μ§μ§ν΄μμ΅λλ€. κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ λ―Έκ΅μ κ²½μλ ₯μ μ μ§νκΈ° μν΄μλ μμ μ μ©λμ μ λΆ μ©λλ₯Ό κ²°ν©νλ λ₯λ ₯μ΄ λ¬΄μλ³΄λ€ μ€μνλ€κ³ λ―Ώκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ μ ν¬κ° μ λΆμ μ§ννκ³ μλ μλΉν κ·λͺ¨μ νμ΄νλΌμΈλ μ΄λ¬ν λͺ¨λΈμ μꡬνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ¬Όλ‘ κ²½μ°μ λ°λΌ μ λΆ λ§μΆ€ν νΉμ μμ°μ μ μ‘°ν μλ μκ² μ§λ§, μ ν¬λ λͺ¨λ κΈ°νμμ μ΄μ€ μ©λλ₯Ό μ°μ μνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. |
| Christopher Quilty: Quilty Space Inc., Research Division Great. And final question, just on the launch. When will you give us some visibility on specific launch vehicles as we approach the launch dates. Obviously, the heavy lift market is extremely constrained and I watched in the last week, both Blue Origin and ULA delay and delay. SpaceX is really the only operator out there that's launching on a regular cadence. It's a tight market at current time.

| Christopher Quilty: Quilty Space Inc., Research Division Got you. And are you still aiming for the same sort of 3 to 4 BlueBirds per Falcon 9, I think, 8 for New Glenn?

| Scott Searle: ROTH Capital Partners, LLC, Research Division Maybe just a couple of quick follow-ups and clarifications. Now that you're funded up to 100 satellites and the initial phase of the constellation of 45 to 60 gets you to commercialization in the key developed markets, should we expect that you're just going to continue to roll through to build up to the 90 to 100-plus satellites in terms of, I'll call it, Phase 2 constellation as we go into 2027? Or are there some other milestones to be thinking about in terms of customer contracts or otherwise that will be a precursor to that happening? And also as part of that, from a spectrum standpoint, you had a very astute buy of the Ligado spectrum in North America. I know you have access in international markets, but there are some other costs that come along with that. I wonder if you could just frame for us kind of how you're conceptually thinking about incremental spectrum costs going forward, particularly in international markets. | **Scott Searle:** λ¨Όμ λͺ κ°μ§ λΉ λ₯Έ νμ μ§λ¬Έκ³Ό νμΈ μ¬νμ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄μ 100κΈ°μ μμ±κΉμ§ μκΈμ΄ ν보λμκ³ , μ΄κΈ° 45~60κΈ°μ μμ±κ΅° λ¨κ³κ° μ£Όμ μ μ§ μμ₯μμ μμ©νλ₯Ό κ°λ₯νκ² νλ€λ μ μμ, 2027λ μΌλ‘ κ°λ©΄μ 90~100κΈ° μ΄μμ μμ±μ ꡬμΆνλ 2λ¨κ³ μμ±κ΅°κΉμ§ κ³μ μ§νν κ²μΌλ‘ μμν΄μΌ ν κΉμ? μλλ©΄ κ·Έ μ μ κ³ κ° κ³μ½μ΄λ λ€λ₯Έ μ ν μ‘°κ±΄μ΄ λ λ§ν λ§μΌμ€ν€λ€μ΄ μμκΉμ? κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ·Έμ κ΄λ ¨ν΄μ, μ£Όνμ μΈ‘λ©΄μμ λΆλ―Έ μ§μμ Ligado μ£Όνμλ₯Ό λ§€μ° νλͺ νκ² μΈμνμ ¨λλ°μ. κ΅μ μμ₯μμ μ κ·Όμ±μ ν보νκ³ κ³μ 건 μκ³ μμ΅λλ€λ§, κ·Έμ λ°λ₯Έ μΆκ° λΉμ©λ€λ μμ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. ν₯ν μ¦λΆ μ€ννΈλΌ λΉμ©, νΉν κ΅μ μμ₯μμμ λΉμ©μ λν΄ κ°λ μ μΌλ‘ μ΄λ»κ² μκ°νκ³ κ³μ μ§ μ€λͺ ν΄ μ£Όμ€ μ μμκΉμ? |
| Abel Avellan: Founder, Chairman & CEO Yes. I mean, the architecture basically designed to basically mix and match our own spectrum with operator spectrum and tune all across the low band and mid-band spectrum. So basically, our cost of incremental spectrum is marginal. It doesn't cause us more on the platform to activate additional spectrum. So that would make it very attractive. We can partner with the 700 in certain jurisdictions. And in another one, we are in the mid-band, in combination with their own spectrum. So we -- our incremental cost for additional spectrum is marginal to none as long as it's 3GPP spectrum and it's as long as it's in devices. And our strategy is always starting broadband services with a spectrum that is available in devices. | **Abel Avellan:** λ€, μ°λ¦¬ μν€ν μ²λ κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ μμ¬ μ€ννΈλΌκ³Ό ν΅μ μ¬μ μ μ€ννΈλΌμ νΌν©νκ³ λ§€μΉνμ¬ μ λμκ³Ό μ€λμ μ€ννΈλΌ μ 체μμ μ‘°μ ν μ μλλ‘ μ€κ³λμμ΅λλ€. λ°λΌμ μΆκ° μ€ννΈλΌμ λν μ°λ¦¬μ μ¦λΆ λΉμ©μ λ―Έλ―Έν μμ€μ λλ€. νλ«νΌμμ μΆκ° μ€ννΈλΌμ νμ±ννλ λ° λ λ§μ λΉμ©μ΄ λ€μ§ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλμ μ΄κ²μ΄ λ§€μ° λ§€λ ₯μ μΈ μμκ° λ©λλ€. νΉμ μ§μμμλ 700MHz λμκ³Ό ννΈλμμ λ§Ίμ μ μκ³ , λ€λ₯Έ μ§μμμλ ν΅μ μ¬μ μ체 μ€ννΈλΌκ³Ό κ²°ν©νμ¬ μ€λμμ νμ©ν μ μμ΅λλ€. κ²°λ‘ μ μΌλ‘ 3GPP μ€ννΈλΌμ΄κ³ λλ°μ΄μ€μμ μ§μλλ ν, μΆκ° μ€ννΈλΌμ λν μ°λ¦¬μ μ¦λΆ λΉμ©μ λ―Έλ―Ένκ±°λ κ±°μ μλ€κ³ λ³Ό μ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°λ¦¬ μ λ΅μ νμ λλ°μ΄μ€μμ μ¬μ© κ°λ₯ν μ€ννΈλΌμΌλ‘ κ΄λμ μλΉμ€λ₯Ό μμνλ κ²μ λλ€. |
| Scott Searle: ROTH Capital Partners, LLC, Research Division Great.

| Scott Wisniewski: President & Chief Strategy Officer Sure. So our strategy on satellite deployment hasn't really changed either, right? Our strategy has been, as we have capital access and as we see positive NPV growth, we're going to commit to it. And so that was the driver behind how we announced and have thought about the 45 to 60 satellite target that we put in place a year or so ago. And with further access to capital and, frankly, further traction faster and more attractively on the operator side and potentially the government side as well, we've recalibrated those expectations, and that's part of what's behind the capital we've raised. So where do we go from here? How do we continue to build those out? We pride ourselves on being very nimble. Remember, we're vertically integrated. We can put incremental improvements into our constellation as we go, like with the ASIC to come in Q1. And so we're going to continue to move that way. We are not making multiyear planning decisions. We're pivoting and moving quickly. And as we see things move and we see opportunities, we're going to pivot quickly. But for us, at this point, we see nothing but opportunity. We see nothing but growth. So we're racing towards more satellites fast. And so that's how we're thinking about it, Scott, is -- there's no real holdup on us for continuing to build, but we're going to evaluate growth opportunities on a rolling basis, and that's what you've seen us do the last couple of years. | **Scott Wisniewski:** λ€, μ ν¬μ μμ± λ°°μΉ μ λ΅μ μ€μ λ‘ λ³νμ§ μμμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬ μ λ΅μ μλ³Έμ μ κ·Όν μ μκ³ κΈμ μ μΈ μνμ¬κ°μΉ(NPV) μ±μ₯μ΄ λ³΄μΌ λ ν¬μλ₯Ό μ€ννλ κ²μ
