Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q1 2026 revenue was $3.67 billion, down 5.2% year-over-year, with declines in Pay-TV and Hughes/Broadband, while Wireless posted modest subscriber growth and improved ARPU.
Net loss attributable to shareholders narrowed to $146.89 million from $202.67 million in Q1 2025, with operating income improving to $393 million from a loss of $88 million.
Entered agreements to sell wireless spectrum licenses to AT&T for $22.65 billion and to SpaceX for approximately $20 billion, pending regulatory approvals.
Restructuring Support Agreement executed, including $125 million in settlement costs and prepayment of $1.6 billion in debt.
Substantial doubt exists about ability to continue as a going concern until transaction closings due to insufficient cash and committed financing.
Financial highlights
Total revenue decreased by $202 million (5.2%) year-over-year, mainly due to declines in Pay-TV and Broadband segments.
Adjusted OIBDA rose to $559 million from $400 million year-over-year, driven by Wireless improvements and restructuring benefits.
Net loss improved by $56 million year-over-year, primarily due to 5G network termination and lower impairments.
Free cash flow was $105 million, up from negative $172 million in Q1 2025; net cash from operating activities was $277.55 million.
Cash and marketable securities totaled $1.52 billion at quarter-end, down from $2.18 billion at the start of the period.
Outlook and guidance
Expect to receive $22.65 billion in cash from AT&T and $20 billion in cash and SpaceX equity upon transaction closings, to be used for significant debt repayment.
Until closings, funding is not committed and liquidity remains a critical risk; additional capital may be required if transactions do not close.
Forward-looking statements caution that actual results may differ due to risks and uncertainties detailed in SEC filings.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
