Results for the past nine months include new contract awards of over $1.1 billion and revenues totaling $811.0 million. On a year-to-date basis, ViaSat reported Adjusted EBITDA of $122.5 million and a net loss attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.18 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis, or $0.99 per share on a diluted GAAP basis inclusive of the debt extinguishment expense.
"Our fiscal third quarter delivered strong growth in key metrics for all our business segments. We gained more momentum in our Exede® satellite broadband service, growing net adds over 50% sequentially to almost 38,000 for the quarter, while yielding continued sequential growth in Adjusted EBITDA," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "Our Government Systems segment posted record revenues and over 70% Adjusted EBITDA growth, along with solid orders. Our Commercial Networks segment revenues are up over 25%, driven by Ka-band network systems. We are very pleased with these results that reflect the strong backlog and competitive positions that we are continuing to build throughout the company."

non-cash stock-based compensation
expense, acquisition related expenses
and loss on extinguishment of debt. A
reconciliation of specific

4 All non-GAAP net income (loss)
numbers have been adjusted to exclude
the effects of amortization of
acquired intangible assets,
acquisition related expenses, non-
cash stock-based compensation
expenses and loss on extinguishment
of debt, net of tax. A reconciliation
of specific adjustments to GAAP
results for these periods is included

5 As the third quarter and first nine
months of fiscal year 2013 financial
information results in a net loss,
the weighted average number of shares
used to calculate basic and diluted
net loss per share is the same, as
diluted shares would be anti-
dilutive.

Satellite Services
Our Satellite Service segment revenues increased 28.9% for the quarter and 18.1% year-to-date as our total subscriber base expanded to 467,000. We completed approximately 77,500 installations during the quarter, which delivered 62,000 gross adds to the network, primarily through retail channels. ARPU increased to $49.07 for the third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA declined for the quarter and year-to-date compared to last year primarily due to the fixed costs of the ViaSat-1 network expansion and higher subscriber acquisition costs relative to the incremental subscriber margin gains. However, quarter over quarter Adjusted EBITDA improved for the second consecutive quarter.
-- Our third quarter consumer Internet service reported other key metrics
as follows:
-- Ending subscribers: 467,000 (46.4% on ViaSat-1)
-- Migrations from WildBlue® to Exede service: 15,600 (77,500
installs, less 62,000 gross adds)
-- Average monthly churn: 1.9%
Commercial Networks
Our Commercial Networks segment third quarter revenues of $68.7 million grew by 26.1% compared to last year, driving Adjusted EBITDA up to $2.4 million versus the $0.1 million Adjusted EBITDA loss reported in our fiscal 2012 third quarter results. Year-to-date revenues and Adjusted EBITDA also grew compared to last year, reflecting the continued success we have experienced in the global Ka-band satellite networking market. In the third quarter, we received another $19.9 million in awards for SurfBeam® 2 Ka-band terminals and recently reached a significant milestone as we shipped our 500,000(th) SurfBeam 2 consumer terminal.
Government Systems
Our Government Systems segment reported another quarter of record revenues and Adjusted EBITDA improving year over year by 53.9% and 77.4%, respectively. On a year-to-date basis, our government segment has experienced nearly $100 million in revenue growth driving Adjusted EBITDA up 62.5% compared to the same period last year. These results have been driven by growth in our government mobile broadband, command and control, and tactical satellite networks products and services. In December 2012, we received a $52 million contract renewal to continue providing broadband airborne satcom services for a U.S. government customer and were selected by the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command to engineer our advanced information security into common, off-the-shelf mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
Other Selected Fiscal Third Quarter Business Highlights
-- Named by Popular Science as a Best of What's New Award winner for 2012
for the ViaSat-1 high-capacity satellite system and Exede Internet
service for the home.
-- Ranked number 25 on the Defense Systems "Super 75," which recognizes the
most successful and agile 75 companies supplying products and systems in
the net-centric battlespace.
-- CEO Mark Dankberg named Visionary Executive of the Year at the first
annual Satellite Markets and Research Vision Awards in New York City.
-- Completed field testing of the Exede Newsgathering service, including
the first high-capacity Ka-band Satellite Newsgathering (SNG) vehicle
built in the U.S., with ABC TV stations in Chicago and Houston.
-- Awarded a $13 million delivery order for Multifunctional Information
Distribution System-Low Volume Terminals (MIDS-LVTs) from the Space and
Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), San Diego, augmenting the
original $34 million Lot 13 order.
-- Shipped our 500(th) VR-12 Ku-band airborne satellite antenna, which has
been the workhorse for hundreds of military and general aviation
customers.
-- Issued an additional $300 million in aggregate principal amount of our
6.875% Senior Notes due 2020. The net proceeds from the notes offering
were used primarily to repurchase our outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes
due 2016. Upon completion of the refinancing transaction in the third
quarter, the company recorded a one-time debt extinguishment expense of
$26.5 million related to the early repayment of the old notes, and
simultaneously lowered its annual effective interest expense by
approximately $5 million per year over the eight-year term of the new
notes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement ViaSat's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), ViaSat uses non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to ViaSat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures ViaSat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of ViaSat's past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to the company's historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables below.
