Globalstar, Inc. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2026
Globalstar, Inc. reported a total revenue of $70.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 17% from the prior year's $60.0 million. This growth was primarily driven by a 26% increase in wholesale capacity services, largely due to updated service agreements with their primary customer, Apple Inc. Despite revenue growth, the company reported a net loss of $17.4 million for the quarter, a slight increase from the $17.3 million net loss in the same period of 2025. The company's cash position decreased to $358.4 million from $447.5 million, reflecting significant investments in network upgrades and expansion, including for the Extended MSS Network. A significant development disclosed is the pending acquisition of Globalstar by Amazon.com, Inc., announced on April 13, 2026. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, with an expected closing in 2027. This acquisition introduces considerable uncertainty and potential benefits, with stockholders having the option to receive either cash or Amazon stock, subject to proration and potential adjustments based on operational milestones. The company's financial position remains impacted by substantial capital expenditures for network development, which are crucial for fulfilling its contractual obligations with its key customer and for future growth. The company's balance sheet shows total assets of $2.38 billion and total liabilities of $2.03 billion as of March 31, 2026. Key assets include property and equipment, with significant ongoing investments in network infrastructure. Long-term debt stands at $432.2 million. While the company is investing heavily in its future network capabilities, the ongoing net losses and the pending acquisition by Amazon are critical factors for investors to consider.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) has entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Amazon.com, Inc. (Amazon) and its subsidiaries. This transaction will involve a two-step merger where Globalstar will ultimately become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.

Notably, a significant shareholder, Thermo Funding II, LLC, holding approximately 57.6% of Globalstar's common stock, has already executed a written consent to adopt the merger agreement, satisfying the required stockholder approval. The merger consideration offers stockholders a choice between cash and Amazon common stock. Each share of Globalstar common stock will be converted into either $90.00 per share in cash (subject to adjustments and proration) or a specified number of Amazon common stock shares based on a volume-weighted average price of Amazon's stock. A 40% cap is in place for cash elections, meaning that if more than 40% of shares elect cash, those elections will be subject to proration, with the remainder receiving stock. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and has an outside termination date of April 13, 2028. This acquisition marks a significant event for Globalstar shareholders and the telecommunications sector.

Globalstar, Inc. reported total revenue of $273.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a 9% increase from the prior year, driven primarily by a 19% rise in wholesale capacity services revenue.

Despite the revenue growth, the company posted a net loss of $8.7 million for the year, an improvement from the $63.2 million net loss in 2024.

However, a substantial increase in interest expense and other income/expense items led to a net income of $1.1 million for the quarter and $3.0 million for the nine months. Significant capital expenditures related to the Extended MSS Network were a major outflow in investing activities. The company ended the period with $346.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease from the prior year, primarily due to these investments.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) reported its first-quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing a modest increase in total revenue to $60.0 million, up from $56.5 million in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by an 18% surge in wholesale capacity services revenue, largely attributable to their updated service agreements with Apple (the "Customer"), which represented 61% of total revenue. Despite revenue growth, the company experienced a widening net loss of $17.3 million for the quarter, compared to $13.2 million in Q1 2024, with a diluted loss per share of $0.16 for both periods. The company's investing activities saw a significant outflow of $190.6 million, mainly for network upgrades related to the Extended MSS Network, funded partially by prepayments from the Customer. Cash reserves decreased to $241.4 million from $391.2 million at the end of 2024, reflecting these substantial capital expenditures. The company completed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split in February 2025 and began trading on the Nasdaq. The Extended MSS Network development, a critical component of their strategy, continues with significant investments. While revenue growth is a positive sign, the increasing net loss and substantial capital investments highlight the ongoing capital-intensive nature of Globalstar's business and its reliance on its key partner, Apple. Investors should closely monitor the progress of the Extended MSS Network deployment and its impact on future revenue streams and profitability.

The company continues to invest heavily in its satellite network, including the procurement of over 50 new satellites for the Extended MSS Network and significant capital expenditures on network upgrades, funded in part by substantial prepayments from its key customer. Despite the top-line growth, Globalstar recorded a net loss of $63.2 million for the year. This was influenced by a $27.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt and increased operating expenses, particularly in cost of services due to network expansion, and higher stock-based compensation. The company also experienced a significant foreign currency loss of $16.6 million. Globalstar's liquidity position improved considerably, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to $391.2 million from $56.7 million, largely due to customer prepayments.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) reported a significant increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reaching $189.2 million, up 10% from the prior year.

While service revenue overall grew to $180.0 million for the nine months, subscriber equipment sales saw a considerable decline. Despite revenue growth, the company reported a net loss of $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $9.6 million in the same period last year. This was influenced by higher operating expenses, including increased stock-based compensation and cost of services related to network expansion.

This includes a $400 million investment by the customer for a 20% stake in a new entity, $1.1 billion in infrastructure prepayments for a new satellite constellation, and the retirement of the 2023 13% Notes. These agreements are expected to provide substantial funding and revenue streams for years to come, though they also introduce complex revenue recognition and future payment offset structures.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) has entered into material definitive agreements with its key customer, Apple Inc., to deliver expanded satellite services through a new Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) network, referred to as the "Extended MSS Network."

The company will utilize these substantial prepayments to fund the construction and launch of the Extended MSS Network, which includes a new satellite constellation and ground infrastructure. A portion of the proceeds will also be used to retire Globalstar's outstanding 13.00% Senior Notes due 2029, amounting to approximately $219 million plus make-whole fees.

While subscriber equipment sales declined, service revenue for Commercial IoT saw a robust 25% increase. The company experienced a net loss of $9.7 million for the quarter, a significant shift from the $0.009 million net income in Q2 2023, largely due to increased operating expenses, including a substantial rise in stock-based compensation. Financially, Globalstar maintained a stable cash position with $64.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) has filed an 8-K to report the effectiveness of the Thermo Guaranty, a material definitive agreement that commenced on December 7, 2023. This guaranty, provided by an affiliate of Executive Chairman and controlling stockholder James Monroe, III, ensures coverage for certain obligations under the Company's partnership agreements, including a significant $252 million prepayment and satellite procurement obligation. The Thermo Guaranty is designed to bolster the Company's financial stability by obligating Thermo to make payments if Globalstar defaults, and to maintain minimum liquidity and asset levels. In exchange for this significant guaranty, Globalstar issued a warrant to Thermo, allowing the purchase of 10 million shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, with half vesting immediately and the other half contingent on future advances by Thermo. Additionally, if Thermo is required to make payments under the guaranty, Globalstar will issue shares of its common stock to Thermo, based on the market price at the time of payment. These transactions were conducted under securities law exemptions, indicating a private placement to an accredited investor and potential future unregistered stock issuances.

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) filed an 8-K on November 2, 2023, to announce its financial and operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023. The primary purpose of this filing is to furnish a press release detailing these results, which is incorporated by reference. Investors should note that this information is furnished and not deemed "filed" for certain regulatory purposes, meaning it doesn't automatically trigger liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act unless specifically referenced in other filings.

While the 8-K itself doesn't contain the detailed financial tables, it directs investors to the furnished press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the specific figures regarding revenue, net income/loss, and operational metrics. Investors will need to review the attached press release for a comprehensive understanding of Globalstar's recent performance and financial condition.
Globalstar, Inc. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2023
Globalstar, Inc. reported a significant increase in total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, reaching $171.4 million, a 60% jump from $107.2 million in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial increase in wholesale capacity services revenue, largely attributable to the Service Agreements initiated in November 2022. Service revenue constitutes the majority of total revenue, accounting for 91% in the nine-month period. Despite the strong revenue growth, the company's profitability remains a concern, as it continued to report net losses, though the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, narrowed considerably to $9.6 million from $251.6 million in the same period last year. This improvement in net loss is a positive signal, but sustained profitability will be key. The company's balance sheet shows an increase in cash and cash equivalents to $64.1 million from $32.1 million, supported by increased operating cash flows and new financing arrangements. However, long-term debt also rose significantly due to new note issuances and funding agreements.
Globalstar, Inc. 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Aug 31, 2023)
Globalstar, Inc. has entered into a significant Intellectual Property License Agreement with XCOM Labs, Inc., acquiring exclusive, perpetual, and royalty-free rights to XCOM's novel wireless spectrum innovation technologies, including the XCOMP system. This technology is designed to enhance capacity in challenging wireless environments, particularly in sub-7 GHz spectrum. In exchange for these intellectual property rights and related agreements, Globalstar issued approximately 60.6 million shares of its common stock, valued at around $68.7 million, in a private placement. Notably, a portion of these shares were used to settle debts owed by XCOM to certain lenders, including affiliates of Thermo Companies, which is controlled by Globalstar's Executive Chairman, Jay Monroe. Additionally, Dr. Paul Jacobs, a key figure at XCOM, also received a substantial number of shares through a trust. To facilitate XCOM's operations, a significant portion of these newly issued shares are being resold to existing investors of both companies, including Thermo. In conjunction with this IP acquisition, Globalstar announced a leadership change: Dr. Paul Jacobs has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding David Kagan. Dr. Jacobs, with extensive experience at Qualcomm and XCOM, will also join the Board of Directors. His compensation package includes a base salary, bonus eligibility, and performance-based restricted stock awards tied to sustained stock price targets. The company has also amended its bylaws to increase the size of its Board of Directors.
Globalstar, Inc. 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 31, 2023)
Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) has entered into a significant Launch Services Agreement with SpaceX on August 28, 2023, for the launch of its first set of new satellites. This agreement sets a launch window in 2025, subject to standard launch conditions.

This development is crucial as it directly relates to Globalstar's previously disclosed Satellite Procurement Agreement and represents a concrete step towards expanding its satellite constellation. Investors should note that a key aspect of this agreement is the financial support provided by a partner. This partner has committed to reimburse Globalstar for 95% of approved capital expenditures related to the new satellites, which explicitly includes these launch costs. This arrangement significantly mitigates the immediate financial burden on Globalstar for this substantial capital investment, making the satellite expansion more manageable and less dilutive than it might otherwise be.

Globalstar, Inc. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2023
Globalstar, Inc. reported a significant improvement in its financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year. Total revenue surged by 50% and 63% respectively, driven by a substantial increase in wholesale capacity services, largely attributed to revenue recognized under the Service Agreements with its Partner (Apple Inc.). This segment also saw a significant increase in contract liabilities, indicating future revenue recognition potential. The company achieved profitability from operations in the current quarter, a stark contrast to the loss from operations in the same period last year, and reported a net income of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, versus a net loss of $26.8 million in the prior year. Financially, Globalstar strengthened its balance sheet with a notable increase in cash and cash equivalents, rising to $65.3 million from $32.1 million. This improvement is partly due to substantial proceeds from new financing arrangements, including the 2023 13% Notes and the 2023 Funding Agreement, which together provided significant cash inflows. While total debt increased, the company appears to be managing its obligations and has taken steps to secure future operational needs, including significant capital expenditures for new satellites.

Globalstar, Inc. Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2023
Globalstar, Inc. reported a significant improvement in its financial performance for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year. Total revenue surged by 79% to $58.6 million, driven primarily by a substantial increase in wholesale capacity services revenue, which benefited from the commencement of services under its agreement with a key partner starting in November 2022. This partnership, notably with Apple Inc., is a major driver of growth, contributing 52% of the total revenue in Q1 2023. The company also demonstrated improved operational efficiency, with income from operations turning positive at $7.2 million, a stark contrast to the $13.7 million loss in Q1 2022. This turnaround is supported by disciplined cost management, although total operating expenses did increase year-over-year, primarily due to higher cost of services and marketing, general, and administrative expenses. Financially, Globalstar successfully raised $200 million through the issuance of 13% Senior Notes due 2029, which were used to refinance existing debt, including the full repayment of the 2019 Facility Agreement. The company also secured a significant $252 million prepayment from its partner, to be used for satellite procurement and related costs, bolstering liquidity and reducing the need for third-party financing. Despite the positive operational trends, the company still reported a net loss of $3.5 million for the quarter, influenced by a $10.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Globalstar, Inc. 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Apr 6, 2023)
Globalstar, Inc. has completed the sale of $200 million in 13% Senior Notes due 2029. These notes were issued at a discount (95% of principal) and carry a significant interest rate of 13% per annum, with 6.5% payable in cash and 6.5% as Paid-In-Kind (PIK) interest, which can be added to the principal. The proceeds from this offering were primarily used to repay outstanding debt under the 2019 Facility Agreement, totaling approximately $148 million, and for general corporate purposes. Following the debt repayment and release of previous liens, Globalstar entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. This new agreement grants a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's and its domestic subsidiaries' assets to secure obligations under previously disclosed Partnership Agreements. Investors should note the high coupon rate and the collateralization of assets, which indicates a potentially higher risk profile but also a commitment to fulfilling these new obligations.
Globalstar, Inc. 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Mar 29, 2023)
Globalstar, Inc. has announced a significant financing transaction through the issuance of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 13% Senior Notes due 2029. This private placement, facilitated by Värde Partners and other purchasers, is intended to strengthen the company's financial position. The net proceeds are earmarked for repaying approximately $148 million in outstanding obligations under its 2019 Facility Agreement, covering associated fees, and for general corporate purposes.

Subsequently, the company will grant similar first lien security interests to its Partner to secure amounts under its Prepayment Agreement. Following these actions, Partner will disburse funds to Globalstar for payments related to the Satellite Procurement Agreement. The new Notes carry a substantial 13% annual interest rate, with flexibility in payment structure, including a significant portion that can be paid-in-kind (PIK).

Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT) reported its 2022 annual results, showcasing a significant increase in total revenue to $148.5 million, up 19% from the previous year.

This substantial inflow of capital is earmarked to cover costs associated with its satellite procurement, construction, and launch, including payments to Macdonald, Dettwiler and Associates Corporation, as well as associated launch and insurance expenses. This prepayment effectively replaces the company's previous obligation to seek third-party financing for these critical satellite program expenditures. The funds will be disbursed quarterly, contingent on specific conditions. While the company anticipates funding the remaining satellite costs from its operational cash flows, the prepayment will be recouped by the Partner over approximately 16 quarters, commencing no later than Q3 2025, through service payments. The agreement also includes covenants on Globalstar, such as interest coverage and leverage ratios, and limitations on certain financial activities, while a related party provides a guarantee for the prepayment. Notably, Globalstar must meet certain financial and asset-related conditions by mid-March 2023 for the prepayment to be fully funded.
