Operating Verticals revenues of 307 million, down 1.9% like-for-like; total revenues down 0.7%

Renewal of Sky Italia contract at HOTBIRD securing broadly stable revenues in the medium term

Backlog of 4.4bn, up 3% year-on-year

Significant steps in our Fixed Broadband strategy

All financial objectives confirmed

Paris, 29 October 2020 - Eutelsat Communications (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris: ETL) reports revenues for the First Quarter ended 30 September 2020.

Rodolphe Belmer, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communications, said: Eutelsat has made a solid start to the year, with Operating Verticals revenues in line with expectations and a backlog of 4.4bn, up 3% year-on-year. Highlights of the First Quarter include the renewal of the Sky Italia contract at HOTBIRD, confirming the ongoing relevance of satellite in Western Europe, and significant steps in our Fixed Broadband strategy with the acquisition of Bigblu Broadband Europe ahead of the imminent entry into service of EUTELSAT KONNECT.

This performance demonstrates the general resilience of our business to the current environment. Although the rate of new business in certain verticals, in particular in Broadcast, is slower than usual against the general operating backdrop, we have nevertheless produced a solid commercial outturn securing several new contracts and renewals on favourable terms. Based on this performance we confirm our financial objectives for the current year and subsequent year.
