ITEM 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the other financial information and consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of innovative and technology-driven connectivity solutions to primarily maritime commercial, leisure, and military/government customers. We provide global high-speed Internet and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services via satellite to mobile users at sea and on land. We are also a leading provider of commercially licensed entertainment, including movies, television programming, news, and music, to commercial customers in the maritime market, along with supplemental value-added cybersecurity, email, and crew internet services.

We generate revenues in the United States and various international locations, including primarily Singapore, Canada, South American countries, European Union countries and other European countries, and countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific, including India. Sales to customers outside the United States accounted for 73% and 68% of our consolidated net revenues for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We generate a substantial majority of our revenues from sales of satellite Internet airtime services. We provide, for monthly fixed fees and per-usage fees, satellite connectivity encompassing broadband Internet, data and VoIP services, to customers via our global HTS network. Sales of our airtime services accounted for 79% and 81% of our consolidated net sales for 2024 and 2023, respectively. In mid-2022, we launched our KVH ONE hybrid network, which integrates global satellite service (including Ku-band VSAT using the Intelsat HTS network along with Starlink, Iridium, and other satellite services), KVH-provided cellular service in more than 150 countries, and shore-based Wi-Fi access. Revenue from our cellular airtime service has supplemented, and we expect will continue to supplement, our satellite-only airtime revenue. In addition, we earn monthly usage fees from sales of third-party satellite connectivity for VoIP, data and Internet services to our Inmarsat, Iridium, and Starlink customers who choose to activate their subscriptions with us.
