Eutelsat Video Revenues Decline After Terminating Russian Contracts
What happened
Eutelsat's Q1 results showed video revenues, which account for 40 per cent of overall revenues, fell 17.8 per cent year-on-year. The company attributed this decline partly to terminating Russian DTH channel capacity contracts on the Express AT1 and AT2 Russian satellites because of sanctions on Russia. Despite this, LEO revenues rose 30.1 per cent to €70.9 million.
Why it matters
The termination of Russian contracts directly impacted Eutelsat's traditional video revenue stream. However, the company noted strong growth in its Mobile Connectivity segment, which grew 38.1 per cent year-on-year. Eutelsat anticipates revenues from OneWeb and European IRIS2 satellites could exceed $10 billion (€8.94bn) between 2032 and 2040.
