EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SATS#NASDAQ">SATS</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Tuesday.</a>
The company reported third-quarter loss per share of 52 cents, missing the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41897936/echostar-announces-financial-results-for-the-three-and-nine-months-ended-september-30-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener"> analyst consensus loss estimate of 37 cents</a>. Quarterly sales of $3.890 billion (down 5.3% year over year) missed the street view of $3.909 billion.
In the third quarter, Net Pay-TV subscribers dropped by about 43,000, while Sling TV gained 145,000 subscribers. The company ended the quarter with 8.03 million total Pay-TV subscribers, including 5.89 million DISH TV subscribers and 2.14 million Sling TV subscribers.
&#8220;Our efforts focused on profitable customer acquisition and retention, strengthening our consumer offerings and enhancing our nationwide Open RAN 5G network,&#8221; said&nbsp;Hamid Akhavan, president and CEO, EchoStar. &#8220;In addition, we recently announced a series of transformative transactions that will disrupt the wireless and pay-TV industries.&#8221;

The company ended the third quarter with 912,000 Broadband Satellite subscribers, a loss of about 43,000 in the quarter, compared to 59,000 lost in the same period last year. The smaller loss was due to the launch of the new EchoStar XXIV satellite and higher demand for new service plans. However, the third quarter was affected by the end of ACP program funding on June 1.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $2.8 billion and inventory worth $441.68 million.
The company&#8217;s long-term debt, finance lease, and other obligations, net of the current portion as of the end of the quarter, totaled $21.557 billion.
&#8220;We secured financing to meet our November debt maturity and announced an agreement with a group of our convertible note&nbsp;holders. This last transaction provides approximately&nbsp;$5.2 billion&nbsp;in additional financing and extends payment terms for the existing convertible notes tendered,&#8221; Akhavan added.
In addition, the company recently agreed to sell its pay-TV business to DIRECTV, subject to successful <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41094002" rel="noreferrer noopener">completion of an ongoing exchange and other closing conditions.</a>

<a href="https://spacenews.com/pentagons-commercial-satellite-internet-services-program-soars-to-13-billion/">https://spacenews.com/pentagons-commercial-satellite-internet-services-program-soars-to-13-billion/</a>
The Defense Department is increasing its projected spending on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet services more than tenfold, responding to surging demand from across the military, SpaceNews has learned.
The military&#39;s Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Satellite-Based Services program, launched just last year with a $900 million ceiling, has been expanded to $13 billion by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Space Systems Command, a spokesperson confirmed.&nbsp;
The dramatic jump in funding underscores how vital high-speed satellite internet has become for military operations, as all branches clamor for the capabilities provided by services like SpaceX&#39;s Starlink. The PLEO contract also is being expanded in anticipation of Amazon&#39;s Project Kuiper entering the LEO internet market in the coming years.
The PLEO program is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract managed by DISA and the Space Systems Command&#39;s Commercial Satellite Communications Office. The program so far selected 20 vendors to compete for specific task orders over a five-year base period with an option for an additional five years.&nbsp;
Before this increase, the PLEO contract <a href="https://spacenews.com/space-force-to-increase-spending-on-low-earth-orbit-satellite-services/">had already spent about $660 million </a>of its original $900 million ceiling. Most of the orders have been for Starshield, the militarized version of the Starlink service.

Let&#39;s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
</div>
<h3>Factors To Consider Ahead Of Q3 Results</h3>
ROKU&#39;s third-quarter 2024 top line is expected to have benefited from increasing Streaming Households and growing viewer engagement in TVs. In the second quarter of 2024, Streaming Households increased to 83.6 million, an increase of 14% year over year. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter. 
In the to-be-reported quarter, the company announced various notable partnerships, such as PEOPLE &amp; Entertainment Weekly, to stream the 76th Emmy Awards. ROKU also announced a collaboration with Sony for a streaming deal that will add NFL&#39;s series, GMFB: Overtime, to the Good Morning Football series. This is expected to have boosted ROKU&#39;s top line in the second quarter of 2024. 
ROKU&#39;s diversifying revenue streams, including Roku-billed subscriptions and premium subscriptions, and advertising activities, including traditional video streaming and unique ad products and sponsorships, are expected to have driven the top line by offsetting market-driven pricing changes. 
ROKU&#39;s efforts to increase, create and develop monetization products are expected to have driven the top line. ROKU&#39;s strategy of effectively utilizing its home screen to generate better ad revenues is expected to have been reflected in the third quarter of 2024. Platform revenues were $824 million in the second quarter of 2024, up 11% year over year. The trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter. 
Roku&#39;s inventory supply to advertisers and increase in the number of ad units and categories are expected to have driven the top line by expanding clientele and enabling better churn for partners. 
ROKU&#39;s UID2 integration is expected to have enhanced third-party relationships and data collaboration and driven platform revenues by increasing efficiency in the third quarter of 2024. &nbsp;
<h3>Stiff Competition Headwinds For ROKU&#39;s Prospects</h3>
Intense competition from Netflix (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Disney (NYSE:DIS) owned Disney+ and EchoStar&#39;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sats#NASDAQ">SATS</a>) Sling Media is expected to have remained a constant headwind. 
Netflix and Disney&#39;s enhanced ad-supported tiers in streaming platforms and SATS&#39; Sling Medias&#39; new channel offering of a 4K viewing experience are expected to have hurt ROKU&#39;s active user growth in the to-be-reported quarter. 
ROKU&#39;s weak Media and Entertainment vertical and device business is expected to negatively impact third-quarter 2024 results. Lower spending from certain advertising verticals is expected to hurt the top line in the near term.

Live On CNBC, EchoStar CEO Hamid Akhavan Discusses Wireless Business

EchoStar shares are trading lower. The company announced DirecTV will acquire its video business including Dish TV for a $11.7 billion debt exchange deal.

EchoStar Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SATS#NASDAQ">SATS</a>) shares are trading lower. The company on Monday announced that DirecTV will acquire its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n41088487/directv-to-acquire-echostars-video-distribution-business-including-dish-tv-and-sling-tv">video distribution business</a>.
What Happened: EchoStar and DirecTV entered into a definitive agreement in which DirecTV will acquire EchoStar&#8217;s video distribution business, including DISH TV and Sling TV, through a debt exchange transaction.
&#8220;This agreement is in the best interests of EchoStar&#8217;s customers, shareholders, bondholders, employees, and partners,&#8221; said&nbsp;Hamid Akhavan, president and CEO of EchoStar. 
&#8220;With an improved financial profile, we will be better positioned to continue enhancing and deploying our nationwide 5G Open RAN&nbsp;wireless network. This will provide U.S. wireless consumers with more choices and help to drive innovation at a faster pace. We expect DISH and EchoStar bondholders to benefit from two companies with stronger financial profiles and more sustainable capital structures.&#8221;
Under terms of the agreement, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/09/41089650/at-t-gets-major-exit-cue-as-directv-clinches-dish-deal">DirecTV </a>will acquire EchoStar&#8217;s video business for a nominal consideration of $1 plus the assumption of Dish DBS net debt. Dish and DirecTV have commenced an exchange offer for five different series of Dish DBS notes with a total face value of approximately&nbsp;$9.75 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The combined offerings are expected to give consumers more choice and better value. The combined video company is expected to allow programmers to deliver packages at lower prices, bring together multiple content sources in one place, have enhanced ability to invest to improve its services, and help realize efficiencies of shared infrastructure.
The transaction is also expected to benefit U.S. wireless consumers by allowing EchoStar to focus on enhancing and further deploying its 5G Open RAN cloud-native wireless network. 
EchoStar also announced that TPG Angelo Gordon and certain co-investors have provided&nbsp;$2.5 billion&nbsp;of financing. All holders of Dish convertible notes will have the opportunity to exchange their notes for new secured notes and secured convertible notes of EchoStar maturing in 2030.&nbsp;
In addition, certain members of the Dish supporting investors and a related party of&nbsp;chairman Charles Ergen have entered into a commitment agreement in which EchoStar will issue&nbsp;$5.1 billion&nbsp;of new senior secured notes maturing in 2029 for cash.
The&nbsp;$5.1 billion&nbsp;new money financing from the Supporting Investors will provide EchoStar with significant capital for the buildout of its Boost Mobile nationwide 5G Open RAN network.&nbsp;
&#8220;With an improved financial profile and a unique approach, we expect to gain&nbsp;share, drive shareholder value, and provide more options for U.S. wireless consumers. Our collaboration with our existing stakeholders to achieve this holistic recapitalization solution at EchoStar is a testament to their continued support of our vision, and we greatly appreciate their partnership and continued investment in our mission,&#8221; Akhaven said.
SATS Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/sats">EchoStar shares</a> were down 15.2% at $23.84 at the time of publication Monday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
