Crystal Palace open contract talks with Jean-Philippe Mateta
The 27-year-old Frenchman, whose current deal runs until June 2027 following a recent 12-month extension, has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Olympique Marseille this summer.

Mateta enjoyed a standout 2024–25 season, netting 17 goals and playing a pivotal role in Palace's historic FA Cup triumph—the club's first trophy in just over three decades.
With Palace set to compete in the UEFA Europa League next season as a result of the aforementioned cup triumph, the Eagles are looking to tie down their first-choice striker.
Palace are aiming to build a competitive squad capable of maintaining momentum next season, and keeping Mateta is central to that plan.
Talks between the club and the player's representatives are believed to be progressing positively despite Mateta reportedly seeking a salary bump to around £90,000 per week, which would put him on par with Palace's highest earners.

Mateta's journey at Palace has been far from straightforward. Initially signed on loan from Mainz in January 2021, his early time in South London was marked by inconsistent performances and limited minutes under former managers.
Since Oliver Glasner's appointment in February 2024, the Frenchman has flourished, thriving under a more structured and attack-minded approach.
With a strong physical presence, sharp positioning, and vastly improved finishing, Mateta has become almost indispensable for Palace.
His partnership with Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr has been key to the team's attacking identity.
However, Mateta ended the last campaign without a goal in any of his last six games across all competitions and will be keen to get back on the scoresheet in Palace's pre-season tour.

RB Leipzig interested in Brest's Bradley Locko
As he was last summer, prior to his ACL injury, Bradley Locko (23) is being linked with a move away from Stade Brestois. Locko was one of the best left-backs in Ligue 1 during the 2023/24 campaign, however, he missed almost the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season. Prior to that injury, he had been heavily linked with a move away from Brest. Nottingham Forest were notably keen on the France U21 international. As per L'Équipe, Lille OSC, in the market for a new left-back, have shown an interest this time around. The publication adds that the Breton club have set a €10m valuation for the defender. However, Les Dogues' interest in Locko has been denied by , who has added that there is interest from a new suitor. He understands that RB Leipzig have expressed an interest in signing the Frenchman this summer. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

'I needed to get myself together' - Fitzpatrick on finding form
Golf is a demanding and successful day job, but football is former US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick's sporting passion - to the extent that he wants to work in the game. It may happen one day but for now, digging his way out of the biggest slump of an otherwise glittering golf career has been the 30-year-old's priority. It has been a difficult and emotional process, but proof that he is back came with a career-best tie for fourth at last month's Open. He was the leading UK golfer that week on the Antrim coast and it was a fine way to end the men's major season. Even more so given where Fitzpatrick's game was when it began at April's Masters. The previous month he had missed the cut at the Players, parting company with caddie Billy Foster - with whom he won the 2022 US Open. This miserable early spring confounded expectations, after taking time to reset his career following a disappointing 2024. He felt ready to contend again, but his game remained in disarray. "I just didn't have it," Fitzpatrick told BBC Sport. "I'd put in a tonne of work, my coaches had put in so much work and it just didn't happen. "There's no stone left unturned for me, but it's hard when you're intending to hit a shot and missing it by quite a lot. I just didn't know what was coming. "And that's when confidence hits an all-time low and you feel like you can't progress." By the end of the Masters, where he finished in a share of 40th place, the former world number six was 75th in the rankings. He was not sure what to do to arrest the decline. And sometimes stuff happens away from the course as well. Such vicissitudes contributed to what had been previously unthinkable - splitting with Mike Walker, his coach and confidante since Fitzpatrick's mid teens. Walker works alongside fellow South Yorkshireman Pete Cowen and helped his protege win the US Amateur in 2013 before turning professional. "My relationship with Mike is more important than golf really," Fitzpatrick said. "He's someone I've looked up to since I was 14 or 15. "I could tell him anything and my respect for him is so high. At the same time I wasn't playing well and things probably needed to change. "It's my job and I needed to get myself together." The week after the Masters, Fitzpatrick started to work with the Alabama-based coach Mark Blackburn. "It was the first time I've ever had anyone look at my swing, or get a lesson off someone not named Mike Walker or Pete Cowen in 15 years," Fitzpatrick said. Blackburn wanted to know his new pupil's physical capabilities and his level of flexibility. They soon discovered Fitzpatrick possesses unusually long arms. "Which is not great for hitting irons because its harder to control the depth of the club, and you are going to hit it heavier more often than not," he said. "The other thing was I don't have great shoulder flexion and because of that, as soon as I swing it too long I come out of posture and my swing is all out of whack." While finishing 11 under par at Portrush it was noticeable that before every shot Fitzpatrick would pull back his shoulders and push out his chest. "It's me trying to pinch my shoulder blades together," he said. "It is basically to create the radius of my arms, which means I can just rotate there and I don't need to stretch or move my arms." The work is paying off. Fitzpatrick was eighth in May's US PGA at Quail Hollow, one of five top 10s since the Masters - including finishing fourth at the Scottish Open the week before Portrush, and a share of eighth at the Wyndham last Sunday. Now he is looking to push to finish top 30 on the PGA Tour and grab a place in the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. He currently lies 41st and competes in the first play-off event, the FedEx St Jude, which starts in Memphis this Thursday. Asked who he credits for helping him through the toughest stretch of his career, Fitzpatrick says: "My mum and dad and wife Katherine. "She was constantly reminding me that I won the US Open; 'you're a great player, you're going to get it back'. "It really is true, you've got to have the right people around you and I feel very lucky that I've always had that." Football tactics fascinate Fitzpatrick The other constant has been his love of football. This conversation began with Fitzpatrick seeking contact details for a tactical expert who had appeared on the BBC Sport website. "People think its a joke but I love football way more than golf," Fitzpatrick smiled. "I'm obsessed with football. It's brilliant for me. "I love supporting Sheffield United, over here in the States they show every game I could wish to see, which is amazing." Fitzpatrick has visited Premier League side Brentford and spoken face-to-face with the performance team at champions Liverpool to glean insights. His voice lights up while recalling the people he met and the chats that followed. He was like a sponge absorbing information. "How they use data, how culture is so important," he said. "Just fascinating. "Finding little things that maybe we could take into golf - I feel like we've taken a lot from it." But not just golf. He claims there could come a day when he might switch sports. "I don't know when I'll ever get time to do this, but I'd love to work in football if the opportunity ever arose in some way, shape or form," Fitzpatrick said. "That's extremely wishful thinking, but I just find it so interesting to be part of. I love reading about it and everything about it." More pressing is a golf career that is back on the up. Along with trying to make it to East Lake for the Tour Championship, he wants to retain his place in Europe's Ryder Cup team for next month's trophy defence at Bethpage in New York. "It is nice to play well at the crunch time; the play-offs and the Ryder Cup," Fitzpatrick said. "To be part of that would be very special again." He has played three Ryder Cups but his record of only one win in eight matches is a frustration, and poor reflection of the talents of someone with 10 tournament wins in his professional career. "Despite my record I still want to be part of it to give myself a chance to improve on it," he said. If he makes Luke Donald's team, Fitzpatrick will bring plenty of perspective to the European team. "In the last 15 months there's been an extra effort to try and be a little bit more forgiving to myself and understanding my own psychology really," he admitted. "My biggest thing I would take away from the slump is catching things earlier. I can't afford to get to that stage again. "It was a tough time for me and the problem was it went on for so long. You can't afford to be behind the eight ball and you need to catch those things as early as you can, and turn them round as quickly as you can." Spoken like a golfer who might one day deliver half-time team talks.

Eutelsat Communications: Full Year 2024-25 Results
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: The Board of Directors of Eutelsat Communications (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL), chaired by Dominique D'Hinnin, reviewed the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025. Total revenues for FY 2024-25 stood at €1,244 million, up by 2.5% on a reported basis and by 1.6% like-for-like. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals (excluding 'Other Revenues') stood at €1,226 million, up by 0.8% on a like-for-like basis. LEO revenues amounted to €187 million, up 84.1% 2, driven by strong demand momentum. They represent c.15% of revenues. Adjusted EBITDA stood at €676.2 million on 30 June 2025 stable on a like for like basis. The Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 54.2% at constant currency (54.4% reported). This was in line with our financial projections of Operating Vertical Revenues around the same level, and an adjusted EBITDA margin slightly below the level of the previous year. Jean-François Fallacher, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communications commented: 'FY 2024-25 results were in line with our objectives, and the year was marked by genuine traction in our LEO revenues, which grew by over 80% and now represent 15% of revenues. I am excited to take the helm of Eutelsat as it enters a new chapter, centred on the deployment of LEO, a revolution for the Satellite industry. Thanks to its differentiated GEO-LEO positioning and global coverage, Eutelsat is positioned to be a key player in the development of the European sovereign space of tomorrow and beyond, as showcased by the framework agreement with the French military. Finally, the recently announced €1.5 billion capital increase will give Eutelsat the requisite financing to implement its strategic roadmap, enabling us to deliver growth and value for all our stakeholders.' Note: This press release contains data from the consolidated full-year accounts prepared under IFRS and subject to an audit by the Auditors. They were reviewed by the Audit Committee on 3 August 2025 and approved by the Board of Directors on 4 August 2025. The audit procedures on the consolidated financial statements have been performed. The certification report will be issued once the work on the management report and verification of compliance with the single European electronic reporting format (ESEF) has been completed. The presentation of the annual results and the notes to the consolidated financial statements are available on the website of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio and Gross Capex are considered Alternative Performance Indicators. Their definition and calculation are in Appendix 3 of this document. Expand HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR FY 2024-25 results in line with Financial Objectives with Operating Verticals revenues of €1,226 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 54.4% LEO revenues rise by over 80% to €187 million, representing c.15% of Group total EU launches IRIS 2, landmark public-private partnership, with Eutelsat in a lead role, and representing a key step in the development of Eutelsat's LEO capacities €1.0 billion Framework agreement with France's Armed Forces Ministry for low orbit satellite services, showcasing enhanced traction with sovereign customers amid evolving geopolitical backdrop Contemplated capital increase of €1.5 billion, to secure the execution of long‑term strategic vision, anchored by the French State and other reference shareholders ANALYSIS OF REVENUES 4 Total revenues for FY 2024-25 stood at €1,244 million, up by 2.5% on a reported basis and by 1.6% like-for-like. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals (ie, excluding 'Other Revenues') stood at €1,226 million. They were up by 0.8% on a like-for-like basis, with an almost neutral currency impact. Fourth Quarter revenues stood at €338 million, stable year-on-year on a like-for-like basis. Revenues of the four Operating Verticals stood at €326 million, down 2.1% year-on-year and up by 12.3% quarter‑on‑quarter on a like-for-like basis. Expand Video (50% of revenues) FY 2024-25 Video revenues were down by 6.5% to €608 million, reflecting the maturity of this legacy business. Eutelsat's leading video hotspots nevertheless continue to attract broadcasters, notably HOTBIRD video neighbourhood at 13° East, which saw the renewal of a capacity agreement with longstanding customer, SSR SRG (Swiss broadcasting corporation), while wedotv, the global ad-supported streaming TV network, signed a new deal to add free-to-air streaming channels on the HOTBIRD satellites. Fourth Quarter revenues stood at €147 million down by 6.8% year-on-year and broadly stable quarter‑on-quarter. As recently announced, Eutelsat has removed several more Russian channels from its fleet, in compliance with the latest directives of its national regulator, ARCOM. The impact on revenues of the removal of these channels is estimated at c.€16m euros and a similar amount at the EBITDA level in FY 2025-26. Connectivity (50% of revenues) Total Connectivity revenues for FY 2024-25 stood at €618.1 million, up by 10.6% on a reported basis and by 9.1% like-for-like. Fourth Quarter revenues stood at €178.5 million up 2.1% like-for-like year-on-year, and up 26.3% quarter‑on-quarter, reflecting strong momentum in LEO. Fixed Connectivity FY 2024-25 Fixed Connectivity revenues stood at €247 million, up by 4.3% year-on-year. They mainly reflected on the one hand the continued growth of LEO-enabled connectivity solutions, and, on the other, the more challenging conditions for GEO-enabled solutions, including the cessation of revenue recognition from TIM on KONNECT-VHTS. Fourth quarter revenues stood at €69 million. They were down -14.5% year-on-year, reflecting a high level of terminal sales and the recognition of catch-up revenues which boosted Q4 FY24. Quarter-on-quarter, they were up by 20.9%, mainly driven by LEO performance. In June 2025, Eutelsat and Orange, signed an agreement for LEO capacity, enabling Orange to strengthen its satellite solutions portfolio with LEO connectivity solutions for its enterprise and government customers and support mobile backhauling globally. Government Services FY 2024-25 Government Services revenues stood at €211 million, up 24.1% year-on-year. They reflected the growth of LEO-enabled solutions, notably with services delivered in Ukraine, as well as increased demand from other non-US governments. Fourth Quarter revenues stood at €65 million, up by 40.9% year-on-year and by 37.9% quarter‑on‑quarter. In June 2025, Eutelsat inked a major, €1 billion, 10-year framework agreement with France's armed forces ministry (Direction générale de l'armement) in the context of the NEXUS (Neo-Espace pour de multiples Usages Sécurisés) program, aimed at reinforcing the French military space communications model by combining military and civilian resources. Elsewhere, under a recently signed contract with the UK's FCDO, the OneWeb LEO constellation will provide high-speed, low latency connectivity for British Embassies, High Commissions, and Consulates as well as broader UK government activities globally. Finally, Eutelsat signed an extension of its contract with MBS, one of Europe's leading connectivity service integrators, through new multi-year, multi-million-euro agreement to provide Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO connectivity to government and institutional customers in Europe. Mobile Connectivity FY 2024-25 Mobile Connectivity revenues stood at €160 million, up 0.3% year-on-year. This mainly reflected growing demand for LEO-based solutions notably in maritime, partly offset by lower GEO revenues as well as the impact of a one-off contract in aviation of c.€11 million of which c.€8 million were recognized in FY 2023-24 and c.€3 million in FY 2024-25. Fourth Quarter revenues stood at €45 million, down 7.0% year-on-year due to the above-mentioned one-off contract and up by 19.9% quarter-on-quarter, mainly driven by LEO performances. Recent commercial wins include a deal with India's Station Satcom to deliver LEO connectivity services to the global maritime sector. Eutelsat confirmed the traction of LEO-enabled services for commercial and business aviation, with over 100 certified antenna installations already completed, out of a backlog close to 1,000 aircraft, and the first aircraft now in service. Other Revenues Other Revenues amounted to €17 million versus €4 million a year earlier. They reflected revenue recognition from IRIS 2 related to Eutelsat's involvement as Consortium System Development Prime. They included also a €1 million positive impact from hedging operations compared with a €3 million negative impact a year earlier. BACKLOG The backlog stood at €3.5 billion at 30 June 2025 versus 3.9 billion a year earlier. It was equivalent to 2.8 times 2024-25 revenues, and Connectivity represented 57% of the total, versus 56% a year ago. Note: The backlog represents future revenues from capacity or service agreements and can include contracts for satellites under procurement. Managed services are not included in the backlog. Expand PROFITABILITY Reported Adjusted EBITDA stood at €676.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2025 compared with €718.9 million a year earlier, down by 5.9%. It was stable on a like for like basis. The Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 54.2% at constant currency (54.4% reported) versus 55.0% a year earlier (59.3% reported). It reflected ongoing strict cost control measures, synergy benefits from the integration of OneWeb, as well as the growing proportion of service revenues within the LEO contribution. Operating costs were €73.4 million higher than last fiscal year reflecting the impact of the consolidation of OneWeb over the 12 months of FY 2024-25 compared with only nine months in FY 2023-24. On a proforma basis, costs were up 3.5% 3 reflecting the ramp-up of LEO activities to full operational run rate, partially offset by cost control measures implemented since the merger. Group share of the net result was a loss of €1,081.9 million versus a loss of €309.9 million a year earlier. This reflected: 'Other operating expenses' of €777 million, compared to €208.2 million last year, which included a goodwill impairment of €535 million in respect of GEO assets in the First Half, and a further €186 million in satellite impairments. D&A of €808.3 million versus €702.1 million a year earlier reflecting the perimeter effect of OneWeb as well as higher in-orbit amortization (entry into service of EUTELSAT 36D and 20 LEO satellites during the First Half), partly offset by lower GEO on-ground depreciation. A net financial result of minus €201.0 million versus minus €123.9 million a year earlier, mainly reflecting the evolution of foreign exchange gains and losses, and higher interest costs. A corporate Income Tax gain of €6.7 million versus a gain of €28.3 million a year earlier, reflecting the non-recognition of deferred tax for French entities in FY 2024-25. Losses from associates of €2.4 million versus €22.8 million last year, reflecting the contribution of the stake in OneWeb in the First Quarter of FY 2023-24, now fully consolidated. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE Gross Capex amounted to €449.8 million, compared with €517.1 million a year earlier. This decrease reflects lower GEO satellite program expenditure and lower LEO on-ground Capex as well as the phasing of capex related to the renewal of the LEO constellation. Capital expenditure is expected to reach approximately €1.0 to €1.1 billion in fiscal year 2025‑26, reflecting the timing of key milestones— including the order of an initial batch of 100 additional satellites in December 2024, as well as the procurement of 340 further satellites for the current LEO constellation. Going forward, capex will remain focused on LEO activities, in line with the Group's strategic vision, primarily for the Gen-1 follow-on program. GEO capex will ensure service continuity. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE At 30 June 2025, net debt stood at €2,626.6 million, up by €82.2 million versus end of June 2024. It notably reflected capex-related movements and higher financial costs, partially offset by net cash flow generated by activities, as well as the reclassification under IFRS 5 of the liabilities of the assets held for sale, in the context of the disposal of the passive part of the terrestrial infrastructure. As a result, the net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio stood at 3.88 times 5, compared to 3.79 times at end‑June 2024 and 3.92 times at end-December 2024. The average cost of debt after hedging stood at 4.37% (4.87% in FY 2023-24). The slight decrease illustrates both the decrease in short term interest rates impacting positively the cost of the portion of the group financing indexed on variable rates and the maturity, in January 2025, of the Cross Currency Swaps portfolio. The weighted average maturity of the Group's debt amounted to 2.5 years, compared to 3.5 years at end-June 2024. Liquidity remained strong, with undrawn credit lines and cash around €1.07 billion. OUTLOOK AND FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES In FY 2025-26 6, LEO revenues are expected to grow by 50% year-on-year. This dynamic growth will compensate, but not yet outweigh the decline in GEO revenues, which are notably impacted by additional Russian sanctions in the Video Business. As a result, Eutelsat targets revenues in line with, and an adjusted EBITDA margin slightly below, those of FY 2024-25. As stated earlier, gross capital expenditure is expected to reach approximately €1.0 to €1.1 billion. Following the contemplated capital increases announced in June 2025 and due to be completed by the end of calendar 2025, Net Debt/EBITDA is estimated at c.2.5x 7 by year-end FY'2025-26, reflecting a robust and self-funded financing structure Looking further out. Eutelsat demonstrates some of the most attractive growth and profitability prospects in the sector, with revenue expected in a range between €1.5 and €1.7 billion 8 by the end of FY'2028‑29, supported by the strong momentum of LEO revenues, which are significantly outperforming the market. Operating leverage is expected to drive a mid-to-high single-digit percentage point improvement in the EBITDA margin 9, resulting in a margin of at least 60% by FY'2028-29. In the longer term (post FY 2028-29), the B2B connectivity market is expected to pursue its growth at a double-digit rate, mostly driven by LEO market expansion. Note: Financial objectives assume: (i) no additional impact on revenues due to sanctions imposed on channels broadcast on the group's fleet (ii) the nominal launch and entry into operation of satellites in course of construction in accordance with the timetable envisaged by the Group; (iii) no incidents affecting any of the satellites in-orbit. Expand CONTEMPLATED CAPITAL INCREASE OF € 1.5 BILLION In June a contemplated capital increase of EUR 1.35 billion was announced, subsequently increased to EUR 1.5 billion in July, following the participation of His Majesty's Government. Anchored by Eutelsat's key reference shareholders, it will secure the execution of the long-term strategic vision. The capital raise would take the form of: i) A Reserved Capital Increase reserved capital increase of €828 million at a price per share of €4, to be subscribed by the French State via APE for €551 million, Bharti Space Limited for €30 million, His Majesty's Government for €90 million, CMA CGM for €100 million, and FSP for €57 million. ii) A rights issue of €672 million, which would be subscribed for their rights by the above investors. Expand The Reserved Capital Increase and the Rights Issue are expected to be completed by the end of calendar 2025. Following the two transactions, and subject to participation from investors, the French State would hold a stake of 29.65% of the capital and voting rights, while Bharti Space Limited, His Majesty's Government, CMA CGM and FSP would respectively hold 17.88%, 10.89%, 7.46%, and 4.99% of the share capital and voting rights, being specified that the Reserved Capital Increase Investors would not be in a position to launch a public takeover. This capital increase would represent a pivotal step in Eutelsat's strategic and financing roadmap, enabling the execution of its strategic vision. Coupled with a dedicated debt refinancing plan, this capital increase will reinforce the Company's financial flexibility by accelerating its deleveraging and support investment in its existing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) capabilities and the future IRIS 2 constellation. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Corporate Governance On 4 th August 2025, the Board of Directors of Eutelsat approved the co-optation of Eric Labaye as a Board member and his appointment as Chairman of Eutelsat Communications and Eutelsat SA on the occasion of the Board Meeting of 4 th August 2025. He succeeds Dominique D'Hinnin who had announced his decision not to seek the renewal of his mandate on February 14 th, 2025. Eric Labaye's appointment is effective on August 4 th, 2025, after the Board meeting. At the same time, the Board of Directors approved other changes to the composition of the Board, notably the resignation of Michel Combes, effective 3 rd August 2025, and the co-optation of Lucia Sinapi‑Thomas as an independent Board member. The Board also acknowledged the appointment of Guillemette Kreis (Agence des Participations de l'Etat - APE), as the representative of the French State. Following these changes, the Eutelsat Communication Board of Directors will be composed of 10 members, of which 6 Independent Directors. It will include five women, equating to a representation of 50%. The above changes take effect immediately. The incoming Chairman, Eric Labaye, will hold office until the Annual General Meeting, where his appointment will be proposed for a full term. Corporate Social Responsibility In FY 2024-25, Eutelsat advanced its Corporate Social Responsibility agenda with concrete achievements across all three ESG dimensions. Key milestones illustrate our commitment to inclusive connectivity, climate action, and transparent sustainability reporting. Bridging the Digital Divide By June 2025, Eutelsat successfully fulfilled its commitment under the Partner2Connect Digital Coalition, led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Achieved two years ahead of schedule, this milestone has delivered high-speed internet access near to 1 million people in underserved areas of Sub-Saharan Africa through Konnect Wi-Fi hotspots powered by the EUTELSAT KONNECT satellite. This accomplishment reaffirms our dedication to closing the digital divide, a core pillar of our CSR strategy, and supports the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Science-Based Climate Commitments On 21 January 2025, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Eutelsat's near-term climate targets, marking a key step in our decarbonisation roadmap: A 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 (baseline: 2021); A 52% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions per satellite Mbit/s within the same timeframe. The SBTi confirmed that our Scope 1 and 2 targets are aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory. This validation reinforces Eutelsat's commitment to a science-based and credible climate strategy. Sustainability Reporting Eutelsat published, for FY 2024-25, its first Sustainability Statement according the EU CSRD requirements. Audited by EY and Forvis Mazars, the report synchronises financial and non-financial reporting periods and includes detailed coverage of all material Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities identified through the double materiality assessment conducted during FY25.

These indicators are the object of reconciliation with the consolidated accounts. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA ratio Adjusted EBITDA reflects the profitability of the Group before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation. It is a frequently used indicator in the Fixed Satellite Services Sector and more generally the Telecom industry. The table below shows the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA based on the consolidated P&L accounts for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25: Twelve months ended June 30 (€ millions) 2024 2025 Operating income (191.3) (909.2) + Depreciation and Amortisation 702.1 808.3 + Other operating expenses 208.2 777.0 Adjusted EBITDA 718.9 676.2 Expand The Adjusted EBITDA margin is the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to revenues. It is calculated as follows: The Net debt / adjusted EBITDA ratio is the ratio of net debt to last-twelve months adjusted EBITDA. It is calculated as follows: Gross Capex Gross Capex covers the acquisition of satellites and other tangible or intangible assets as well as payments related to lease liabilities. If applicable it is net from the amount of insurance proceeds. The table below shows the calculation of Gross Capex for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25: 1 FY 2024-25 objectives at constant rate and perimeter: i) Revenues of the four operating verticals around the same level as FY 2023-24; Adjusted EBITDA margin slightly below the level of FY 2023-24 2 Like-for-like change. 3 Unaudited change at constant currency and perimeter. The variation is calculated as follows: i) FY 2024-25 USD figures are converted at FY 2023-24 rates; ii) FY 2023-24 figures are restated with the contribution of OneWeb from 1st July 2023 to 30 September 2023; iii) Hedging revenues are excluded. 4 The share of each application as a percentage of total revenues is calculated excluding 'Other Revenues'. 5 Note that the Net Debt to Adj. EBITDA ratio computed as per financing documentation must take into account the liabilities of the assets held for sale (disposal of passive ground infrastructure) reclassified under IFRS 5 (100.7m€) and is therefore calculated with a net debt of 2,727m€. Hence, the Net Debt to Adj. EBITDA ratio as per financing documentation stood at 4.03x. 6 Before impact from passive ground segment partial disposal. 7 After impact from passive ground segment partial disposal of €0.5bn. 8 Data at eur/usd rate of 1.12x and After impact from passive ground segment partial disposal. 9 Including an estimated annualized adjusted EBITDA impact of €(75-80)m due to passive ground segment partial disposal. 10 Net Debt includes all bank debt, bonds and all liabilities from lease agreements and structured debt as well as Forex portion of the cross-currency swap, less cash and cash equivalents (net of bank overdraft).
