Intelsat S.A. reported revenue of $642.4 million and a net loss of $213.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Included in the quarterly results was a $158.0 million non-recurring charge for loss on early extinguishment of debt resulting from refinancing activity.  The company also reported Intelsat S.A. EBITDA, or earnings before net interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, taxes and depreciation and amortization, of $464.4 million, and Intelsat S.A. Adjusted EBITDA of $500.8 million, or 78 percent of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

“Business activity is strong, driven by favorable demand trends for broadband infrastructure and media distribution for direct-to-home (DTH) and cable applications.  Overall growth was muted in the second quarter, as a result of reduced mobile satellite services revenues in our government business and decreased network services revenues.  Still, we experienced strong revenue growth of 9 percent in our government business and modest growth in our media business, resulting in steady overall revenue and maintenance of our 78 percent Adjusted EBITDA margin in the period,” said Intelsat CEO David McGlade.
