ENYO Pharma Announces Completion of Series C Financing With Vesalius Biocapital and Continued Progress of Its ALPESTRIA-1 Clinical Phase 2 Study in Alport Syndrome Patients
The ongoing ALPESTRIA-1 study evaluates Vonafexor, a highly selective and oral FXR agonist, in patients with Alport syndrome, a rare genetic kidney disease with no approved therapy. The trial involves a 24-week ascending doses regimen followed by a 12-week off-treatment observation period. ALPESTRIA-1 was launched mid 2024 in 4 countries (US, F, SP and D) following Orphan Drug Designation from both the FDA and EMA.
The new funding from Vesalius Biocapital IV extends ENYO's cash runway through the second half of 2026 and enables the initiation of two new clinical programs:
A proof-of-concept trial in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) grade 3 and concurrent F2/F3 MASH, building on the promising renal results from the previous Phase 2 LIVIFY clinical study;
A PK/PD head-to-head comparison of Vonafexor and its analog EYP651 in healthy subjects.
In addition, ENYO will continue to expand its preclinical portfolio, notably in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), where the Vonafexor franchise could offer a novel and disease-modifying approach.
' We are pleased with the continued progress of ALPESTRIA-1 and honored to welcome Vesalius Biocapital to our investor syndicate and Dr. Jean-Christophe Renondin as new Board member,' said Dr. Jacky Vonderscher, CEO of ENYO. ' This additional investment will allow us to accelerate the development of our FXR agonist pipeline in both rare and more prevalent kidney diseases. We share a common belief with Vesalius in the transformative potential of Vonafexor and EYP651 for patients suffering from inflammation- and fibrosis-driven renal conditions.'
' Vesalius Biocapital is excited to support ENYO as it progresses into the next phase of clinical development for Vonafexor and its analog EYP651, ' commented Dr. Jean-Christophe Renondin, Managing Partner at Vesalius Biocapital IV. ' There is an immense need for new treatments in kidney conditions such as Alport Syndrome and CKD. We believe Vonafexor has the potential to help these patients and make a meaningful impact on their lives. I look forward to working with ENYO's excellent leadership team to advance this promising therapeutic candidate.'

Westlake Chemical Partners LP Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westlake Chemical Partners LP (NYSE: WLKP) (the "Partnership") today reported net income attributable to the Partnership in the second quarter of 2025 of $14.6 million, or $0.41 per limited partner unit, which was in line with second quarter 2024 net income of $14.4 million. Cash flows from operating activities in the second quarter of 2025 were $9.1 million, a decrease of $112.8 million compared to second quarter 2024 cash flows from operating activities of $121.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, MLP distributable cash flow was $15.0 million, a decrease of $2.1 million compared to second quarter 2024 MLP distributable cash flow of $17.1 million. The decrease in MLP distributable cash flow and associated trailing twelve-month coverage ratio was primarily due to higher maintenance capital expenditures as a result of the Petro 1 turnaround. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, second quarter 2025 net income attributable to the Partnership of $14.6 million increased by $9.7 million due to higher production and sales volume as a result of fewer production days impacted by the Petro 1 turnaround. Second quarter 2025 cash flows from operating activities of $9.1 million decreased by $36.7 million compared to first quarter 2025 cash flows from operating activities of $45.8 million due to the timing of cash payments related to the Petro 1 turnaround. Second quarter 2025 MLP distributable cash flow of $15.0 million increased by $10.3 million compared to first quarter 2025 MLP distributable cash flow of $4.7 million, due to higher production and sales volume as a result of fewer production days impacted by the Petro 1 turnaround. Second quarter 2025 consolidated net income, including OpCo's earnings, of $85.8 million increased from first quarter 2025 consolidated net income of $42.3 million. During the second quarter of 2025, OpCo benefitted from the stability of its sales agreement with Westlake Corporation that provides a fixed margin on OpCo's annual ethylene production plan. As a result of this agreement, OpCo's net income benefitted by $13.6 million to offset lower forecasted annual production volume resulting from the extension of the Petro 1 turnaround into April. "The Partnership's second quarter financial results improved significantly from the first quarter of 2025 due to higher production and sales volume at our Petro 1 facility as a result of fewer production days lost to the turnaround that began at the end of January and lasted until early April. While there were some lingering impacts to distributable cash flow in the second quarter from the extension of the turnaround into April, primarily in the form of elevated maintenance capital expenditures, this was not unexpected and should not re-occur at such a high level in future quarters," said Jean-Marc Gilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, we expect distributable cash flow and the associated coverage ratio to solidly improve in the second half of 2025 back towards our strong historical levels now that the Petro 1 turnaround has been completed." On July 30, 2025, the Partnership announced that the Board of Directors of Westlake Chemical Partners GP LLC had approved a quarterly distribution for the second quarter of 2025 of $0.4714 per common unit to be payable on August 27, 2025 to unitholders of record as of August 12, 2025, representing the 44th consecutive quarterly distribution to our unitholders. MLP distributable cash flow provided trailing twelve-month coverage that was 0.79x the declared distributions for the second quarter of 2025, which was below the trailing twelve-month coverage ratio of 0.82x at the end of the first quarter of 2025 due to the planned Petro 1 turnaround. Since our IPO in July of 2014 our cumulative coverage ratio is approximately 1.05x. OpCo's Ethylene Sales Agreement with Westlake is designed to provide for stable and predictable cash flows. The agreement provides that 95% of OpCo's ethylene production is sold to Westlake for a cash margin of $0.10 per pound, net of operating costs, maintenance capital expenditures and reserves for future turnaround expenditures. The statements in this release and the related teleconference relating to matters that are not historical facts, such as those with respect to timing and success of future turnarounds, our expectations regarding the amount and timing of future capital expenditures, the ability to deliver value, returns, predictable cash flows and distributions to unitholders, the expectation that distributable cash flow and the associated coverage ratio will improve in the second half of 2025, and the nature and stability of the sales agreement with Westlake and the margin under that agreement, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially, based on factors including, but not limited to, pandemic infectious diseases and the response thereto; operating disruptions, including delays in turnaround activities; the volume of ethylene that we are able to sell; the price at which we are able to sell ethylene; changes in the price and availability of feedstocks; changes in prevailing economic conditions; actions and commitments of Westlake, including the renewal or renegotiation of, or determinations made pursuant to, our contractual arrangements with Westlake; actions of third parties; inclement or hazardous weather conditions, including flooding, and the physical impacts of climate change; environmental hazards; changes in laws and regulations (or the interpretation thereof); inability to acquire or maintain necessary permits; inability to obtain necessary production equipment or replacement parts; technical difficulties or failures; labor disputes; difficulty collecting receivables; inability of our customers to take delivery; fires, explosions or other industrial accidents; our ability to borrow funds and access capital markets; and other factors. For more detailed information about the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, please refer to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC in March 2025, and the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC in May 2025. This release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100.0%) of the Partnership's distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, the Partnership's distributions to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable effective tax rate. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release makes reference to certain "non-GAAP" financial measures, such as MLP distributable cash flow, coverage ratio and EBITDA. For this purpose, a non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that (1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or (2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as MLP distributable cash flow, coverage ratio and EBITDA, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define MLP distributable cash flow as distributable cash flow less distributable cash flow attributable to Westlake Corporation's noncontrolling interest in OpCo and distributions attributable to the incentive distribution rights holder. MLP distributable cash flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. MLP distributable cash flow, coverage ratio and EBITDA are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships, our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures and the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. Reconciliations of MLP distributable cash flow to net income and to net cash provided by operating activities and of EBITDA to net income, income from operations and net cash provided by operating activities can be found in the financial schedules at the end of this press release. Westlake Chemical Partners LP Westlake Chemical Partners is a limited partnership formed by Westlake Corporation to operate, acquire and develop ethylene production facilities and other qualified assets. Headquartered in Houston, the Partnership owns a 22.8% interest in Westlake Chemical OpCo LP. Westlake Chemical OpCo LP's assets consist of three ethylene production facilities in Calvert City, Kentucky, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, and an ethylene pipeline.

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.

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.

Crypto Company Bullish to Raise Up to $629M in IPO
Cryptocurrency platform Bullish publicly filed its F-1 registration with the SEC on Monday, signaling its plan to offer 20,300,000 ordinary shares in an initial public offering (IPO) which would raise up to $629 million. The Peter Thiel-backed firm expects to offer its shares in the range of $28-31 dollars, providing a valuation of somewhere between $3.8 and $4.2 billion based on the expected shares outstanding following the offering. 'We now intend to IPO because we believe that the digital assets industry is beginning its next leg of growth. We view transparency and compliance as hallmarks of how we operate Bullish, and believe those values align well with the public capital markets,' said Bullish CEO Tom Farley in a letter included with the filing. 'We also believe that becoming a publicly-traded company provides our business with key benefits: additional credibility with partners, counterparties and regulators; access to capital; and an equity currency with which to make strategic acquisitions.' This marks the exchange's second attempt at becoming a publicly traded company. In 2021, it agreed to go public via merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Far Peak in a merger that valued the firm around $9 billion. Those plans fell apart in 2022 though due to 'time constraints and market conditions.' Three years later, Bullish is capitalizing on the regulatory easing and favorable sentiment ushered in with President Donald Trump's administration. 'I believe that the digital assets industry is at the inflection point of institutional adoption and Bullish is uniquely positioned at the center of this market,' said Farley. 'The compliant, institutional- focused market infrastructure model is time-tested and works, and Bullish is proud to be the one bringing this proven framework to the crypto landscape.' Expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange with ticker 'BLSH,' the exchange follows a pair of prominent crypto IPOs from earlier this year, including the dramatically successful debutof stablecoin issuer Circle and fellow crypto exchange, eToro. Other prominent exchanges in the industry have signaled their intent to join that list of IPOs as well, with recent signals from exchanges like OKX and Kraken and a confidential filing from Gemini. CoinShares Wants to Offer Solana Staking ETF—But It's Complicated, Experts Warn Bullish, which also owns crypto media publication CoinDesk, aims to improve its information services offerings, expand its geographical footprint and improve product breadth, with a special mention given to options trading. The firm estimates a change of nearly $225 million in net income for the 3-month period ending June 30, 2025 when compared to that of 2024–largely driven by 'favorable changes in fair value of digital assets,' not its operating income. Its exchange more than doubled its total 2023 trading volumes last year and experienced a 78% gain in volumes in Q1 2025 when compared to 2024.
