Recent Highlights:
- HNS and Barrett Xplore Inc., Canada's largest rural broadband provider, signed an agreement in August 2009 under which Barrett Xplore committed to acquire and operate over 10 Gbps of capacity on Jupiter, Hughes' next-generation, high-throughput satellite. Jupiter is designed with more than 100 Gbps of capacity, representing a tenfold increase over existing satellites, and is scheduled for launch in 2012. The agreement is valued in excess of U.S. $100 million.
- Avanti Communications Group plc and HNS signed a multi-year framework agreement in October 2009 whereby HNS' European subsidiary will supply Avanti eight (8) gateways and 50,000 customer premise terminals to operate over HYLAS, Europe's first dedicated, high-throughput Ka-band broadband satellite to be launched in 2010. The contract value is $24 million assuming full roll-out of the planned network. In addition, Hughes agreed to acquire capacity on the HYLAS satellite to expand its managed services offering to major European corporations.
- The Communications and Transport Ministry of Mexico (SCT) selected HNS to supply its market-leading HN System to support the Mexican government's connectivity program to expand broadband access to rural areas of the country. The Hughes HN System comprises a Network Operations Center and 5,760 HN7000S satellite terminals that will enable public schools, hospitals, libraries, and government offices to connect to the Web and each other via broadband Internet access.
- HNS and a major Southeast Asian cellular operator signed a contract for the supply of more than 1,000 Hughes HX terminals to support backhaul connectivity for rural GSM picocells. The network supports 3G wireless data and voice services in rural villages without access to cost-effective landline communications. In addition, HX terminals are being installed on maritime vessels to enable GSM cellular services aboard large, long-distance passenger ferry ships.
- HNS was a recipient of the Gazette Politics and Business Exceptional 53 Maryland Business Awards. The awards program acknowledges the top 53 businesses and organizations in Maryland based on criteria that include the recipient company's annual revenue and employee growth, as well as noteworthy product or service innovations, community service efforts, and how the companies portray themselves as "good places to work."
To summarize, Pradman Kaul, president and CEO said, "The consumer business continued its strong growth trajectory despite the difficult macro environment. Consistent with our stated strategy, our services revenue also continued to grow across all of our broadband businesses. I am also delighted that we were able to sign important agreements with Barrett Xplore and Avanti. Barrett, currently a major customer for SPACEWAY ® 3, will continue that relationship on Jupiter. Their commitment for space segment will enhance cash flow and returns on the Jupiter satellite. In addition, Barrett will be a major customer of NOCs and VSAT terminals for use in Canada. Our agreement with Avanti enables us to lease very competitive Ka-band space segment for our European customers, and also generate significant hardware revenues from sales of NOCs and VSAT terminals to Avanti and their Virtual Network Operators."
Commenting on Hughes' financial performance, Grant Barber, executive vice president and CFO said, "Our focus on expense control and working capital management continued in the third quarter of 2009 resulting in a strong liquidity position, with consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increasing to $326 million at September 30, 2009."

Note on Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Hughes provides non-GAAP financial data in addition to providing financial results in accordance with GAAP. This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity incentive plan compensation, long-term incentive/retention cash plan and other adjustments permitted by the debt instruments of HNS. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Internally, we use this non-GAAP measure in our review of the performance of management and in the performance of our business and operations. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA of HNS for purposes of determining the payments to be made in connection with the long-term cash incentive retention program. Externally, we believe that investors may find this non-GAAP financial information useful in their assessment of our operating performance. In addition, we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Adjusted EBITDA of HNS is also used in calculating covenant compliance under HNS' credit agreements and the indenture governing HNS' 9½% Senior Notes due 2014 issued in 2006 and 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP. This nonGAAP measure does not represent net income or cash flows from operations, as these terms are defined under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, this non-GAAP measure is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available to management for discretionary use, as such measure does not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures (including expenditures on VSAT operating lease hardware and capitalized software development costs), tax payments, debt service requirements (including VSAT operating lease hardware), and payments under the long-term cash incentive retention program. Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
