Maxar Technologies Reports First Quarter 2018 Results, Declares Quarterly Dividend

1 This is a non-IFRS financial measure. Refer to section “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in this earnings release.

Total revenues from the Services segment were $70.0 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to $25.4 million in the same period of 2017. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the financial results from the DigitalGlobe services business that contributed $42.9 million of revenue and $3.8 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage from the Services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 10.1% compared to 15.7% for the same period of 2017. The decrease in margin reflects the blend of margins from the DigitalGlobe services business, as well as the impact from a lower percentage of fixed-price services contracts as compared to cost-plus services contracts with the U.S. Government.

Notable bookings in the Services segment in the first quarter of 2018 included:

  • A contract with a U.S. Intelligence Agency to support multiple missions across the U.S. Government. This contract provides funding for several major projects including machine learning, cloud computing, and a scheduling tool for understanding satellite tasking viability.
  • A new task order on an existing prime contract vehicle to provide Multi-Intelligence analysis and software development support for a global military intelligence mission.
  • A contract with a U.S. Intelligence Agency to enrich the quality of radar imagery to support advanced geospatial analysis.

Pro Forma Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by Segment:

The following table summarizes pro forma revenue and pro forma adjusted EBITDA by segment for the last eight quarters in U.S. dollars as if MacDonald Dettwiler and DigitalGlobe had been one company beginning in 2016. The table has been updated from our fourth quarter 2017 earnings release to exclude the effects of intersegment eliminations by segment for 2016 and 2017, consistent with our current presentation.
