In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, the company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2022.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The company’s independent registered public accounting firm has audited the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, as stated in their report which appears on page F-1.

We excluded RigNet and EBI from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 because we acquired RigNet and EBI in purchase business combinations during fiscal year 2022.

RigNet and EBI are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues represent approximately 6% and 3% of total assets, respectively, and approximately 6% and 1% of total revenues, respectively, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Estimating the total costs at completion of a performance obligation requires management to make estimates related to items such as subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity, and the costs of overhead.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition – estimated costs at completion is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the estimated costs at completion on individual fixed-price contracts, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating evidence related to the estimated costs at completion, including the evaluation of management’s judgment as it relates to the subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity, and the costs of overhead.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition –

estimated costs at completion is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the estimated costs at completion on individual fixed-price contracts, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the estimated costs at completion related to the assessment of management’s judgment as it relates to the subcontractor performance, material costs and availability, labor costs and productivity, and the costs of overhead.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the completeness and accuracy of estimated costs at completion.

The procedures also included, among others, evaluating and testing management’s process for developing estimates of total estimat ed costs at completion for long- term contracts for a sample of contracts.

This included testing the completeness and accuracy of costs incurred to date and evaluating the reasonableness of significant estimates used by manageme nt, including subcontractor performance , material cost s , labor cost s , and overhead costs, and considering factors that could affect the accuracy of those estimates.

Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used involved assessing management’s ability to reasonably estimate costs at completion by (i) testing samples of third-party quotes or bids for materials and subcontractor services, (ii) assessing the reasonableness of estimates of total costs at completion in comparison to actual total costs incurred to date, (iii) recalculat ing estimated labor and overhead, and (iv) evaluating the timely identification of circumstances that may warrant a modification to estimated costs to complete, including actual costs in excess of estimates.

The procedures also included, among others, (i) evaluating and testing management’s process for developing estimates of total estimated costs at completion for long-term contracts for a sample of contracts;

(ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of costs incurred to date and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of significant estimates used by management related to subcontractor performance, material costs, labor costs, and overhead costs, and considering factors that could affect the accuracy of those estimates.

(iii) recalculating estimated labor and overhead, and (iv) evaluating the timely identification of circumstances that may warrant a modification to estimated costs to complete, including actual costs in excess of estimates.

Valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset - Acquisition of RigNet, Inc.

As described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of RigNet, Inc.

for consideration of approximately $317.9 million, which resulted in recording of a customer relationships intangible asset valued at $101.9 million.

Management determined the fair value of the acquired customer relationships intangible asset by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate and discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset from the acquisition of RigNet, Inc.

is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when determining the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.

In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset and controls over the development of significant assumptions related to the forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.

These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement;

(ii) testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset;

(iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method;

(iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data provided by management;

and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions related to the forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, customer attrition rate, and discount rate.

Evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the forecasted revenue growth rate and gross margin involved evaluating whether the significant assumptions used were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of RigNet, Inc.;

(ii) consistency with external market and industry data;

and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to the customer attrition rate and discount rate.

Recent authoritative guidance

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326).

ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss model).

It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326), which clarifies that impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326) Targeted Relief, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, in February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326) and Leases (ASC 842) Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.

These recently issued ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 but rather are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within ASU 2016-13.

ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02, and ASU 2020-03 have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13.

The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 using the modified retrospective basis approach with application of the model to the Company’s accounts receivables.

Under the new guidance, the Company is required to recognize estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated life or remaining contractual life of an asset using a broader range of information including past events, current conditions and consideration of supportable forecasts about future economic conditions.

The adoption of this guidance had an insignificant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820):

Note 3 —

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with the authoritative guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (ASC 820), the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market-based assumptions to entity specific assumptions:

Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 1 —

Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2 —

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;

quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active;

or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

Level 3 —

Inputs which reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

The Company had $ 5.0 million in cash equivalents (Level 1) and no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of both March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Cash equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds.

Cash equivalents —

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of money market funds.

Money market funds are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions (Level 1).

Foreign currency forward contracts — The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency risk relating to foreign exchange rates.

The Company does not use these instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company’s objective is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are measured at fair value.

Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivative instruments are recorded to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued using standard calculations/models that are primarily based on observable inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates, or can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).

Long-term debt — The Company’s long-term debt consists of borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility and Ex-Im Credit Facility (collectively, the Credit Facilities), $ 700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes, $ 600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes, $ 400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes and finance lease obligations reported at the present value of future minimum lease payments with current accrued interest.

Long-term debt related to the Revolving Credit Facility is reported at the outstanding principal amount of borrowings, while long-term debt related to the Ex-Im Credit Facility, 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes is reported at amortized cost.

Contingencies —

In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 51 % interest in EBI on April 30, 2021 (see Note 16 —

Acquisitions for more information), part of the purchase price consideration will not be determined until two years after the closing date, when the Company may pay or receive up to €

20.0 million, or approximately $ 22.3 million, in cash .

The consideration to be paid in the future is contingent based on certain outcomes as defined in the acquisition agreement.

Each reporting period, the Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration based on unobservable inputs and probability weightings using standard valuation techniques (Level 3).

The fair value amount is currently recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and any change to fair value is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations each reporting period.

As of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s fair value estimate, and change in fair value of the contingent consideration since the acquisition date, were immaterial.

Long-term debt —

Inmarsat Transaction

On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to combine Viasat with Connect Topco Limited, a private company limited by shares and incorporated in Guernsey (Inmarsat), with the shareholders of Inmarsat and certain management and employees who hold options and shares of a subsidiary of Inmarsat whose options and shares will be exchanged for shares of Inmarsat prior to closing (collectively, the Sellers).

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Inmarsat from the Sellers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the Inmarsat Transaction).

The total consideration payable by the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement consists of $ 850.0 million in cash, subject to adjustments (including a reduction of $ 299.3 million as a result of the dividend paid by Inmarsat in April 2022), and approximately 46.36 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock.

The closing of the Inmarsat Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and clearances, and approval by the stockholders of the Company of the issuance of shares in the transaction and an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance.

The Share Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and certain of the Sellers and further provides that, upon termination of the Share Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay a termination fee of up to $ 200.0 million or to reimburse certain out-of-pocket expenses of certain Sellers up to $ 40.0 million.

The Company has obtained financing commitments for an additional $ 1.6 billion of new debt facilities in connection with the Inmarsat Transaction (which may be secured and/or unsecured), which amount excludes the commitments that were obtained with respect to the $ 700.0 million Term Loan Facility that the Company entered into on March 4, 2022 to fund the Company’s standalone growth expenditures.

In light of the $ 299.3 million reduction in the cash purchase price payable in the Inmarsat Transaction, the Company currently expects to incur $ 1.3 billion of additional indebtedness under these commitments.

However, the total amount of indebtedness incurred under these commitments may change, including in the event that available cash from other sources is higher than expected.

The Company also plans to assume $ 2.1 billion in principal amount of Inmarsat senior secured bonds and the outstanding indebtedness under Inmarsat’s $ 2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities.

The Company had also obtained commitments of $ 3.2 billion to backstop certain amendments required under the Revolving Credit Facility and Ex-Im Credit Facility and Inmarsat’s $ 2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities, which amendments have been obtained under the Revolving Credit Facility and Inmarsat’s $ 2.4 billion senior secured credit facilities.

Euro Broadband Infrastructure Sàrl

On April 30, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 51 % interest in EBI, a broadband services provider, from Eutelsat.

By completing the acquisition, the Company gained 100 % ownership and control of EBI and the KA-SAT satellite over EMEA and related ground infrastructure, which is expected to facilitate the diversification of the Company’s business portfolio in Europe, while establishing operations, distribution and sales of satellite-based broadband services, ahead of the anticipated ViaSat-3 (EMEA) satellite launch.

The benefits and additional opportunities of the acquisition were among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill, which was recorded within the Company’s satellite services segment.

The goodwill recognized is not deductible for U.S.

and foreign income tax purposes.

Prior to the acquisition date, the Company owned a 49 % interest in EBI and accounted for the investment using the equity method of accounting (see Note 10 —

Equity Method Investments and Related-Party Transactions for more information).

The acquisition of the remaining equity interest in EBI was accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with the authoritative guidance for business combinations (ASC 805).

Accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquired company to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values.

The Company remeasured the previously held equity method investment to its fair value based upon a valuation of the acquired business, as of the date of acquisition.

The Company considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously held equity method investment, including, (i) the price negotiated with the selling shareholder for

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

the remaining 51 % interest in EBI and (ii) an income valuation model (discounted cash flow).

As a result of the equity method investment remeasurement, recognition of previously unrecognized foreign currency gain and settlement of insignificant preexisting relationships, the Company recognized an insignificant total net gain included in other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The purchase price of $ 327.4 million was primarily comprised of $ 167.0 million of cash, net of what is currently estimated to be an immaterial amount of estimated purchase price consideration to be settled among the parties over the next 24 months ( up to plus or minus €

20.0 million , or approximately $ 22.3 million, see Note 3 —

Fair Value Measurements for more information) from the closing date (which after consideration of approximately $ 121.7 million of EBI’s cash on hand, resulted in a net cash outlay of approximately $ 51.0 million) and the fair value of previously held equity method investment of approximately $ 160.4 million.

The purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of April 30, 2021, slightly adjusted since the close of the acquisition, primarily between goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and property, equipment and satellites, is as follows:

At the closing of the acquisition, EBI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and EBI’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s satellite services segment (with an insignificant amount included in its commercial networks segment) commencing on the acquisition date.

As EBI’s results of operations are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations, pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented.

On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of RigNet, a publicly held leading provider of ultra-secure, intelligent networking solutions and specialized applications.

The acquisition of RigNet is beneficial to the Company as it enables the Company to expand into new and adjacent industries, including renewable energy, transportation, maritime, mining and other enterprise markets.

These benefits and additional opportunities were among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill, which was recorded within the Company’s satellite services segment.

The goodwill recognized is not deductible for U.S.

and foreign income tax purposes.

The consideration transferred of approximately $ 317.9 million was primarily comprised of $ 207.2 million of the fair value of approximately 4.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock issued at the closing date, $ 107.3 million related to the pay down of outstanding borrowings of RigNet’s revolving credit facility, a de minimis amount in cash consideration in respect of fractional shares to the former shareholders of RigNet and an insignificant amount of other

In connection with the RigNet acquisition, the Company recorded merger-related transaction costs of approximately $ 7.2 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Management determined the fair value of acquired customer relationships intangible asset by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate, gross margin, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate and discount rate.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed a contingent liability associated with a RigNet predecessor subsidiary of approximately $ 13.8 million, which represented the maximum amount payable under the terms of the agreement.

As of March 31, 2022 , no amount remains payable as the maximum amount payable was paid during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2022.

The consolidated financial statements include the operating results of RigNet from the date of acquisition.

Since the acquisition date, the Company recorded approximately $ 180.2 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 , and $ 31.2 million of net losses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, with respect to the RigNet business primarily in the Company’s satellite services segment (with a portion included in its commercial networks segment) in the consolidated statements of operations.
