Telesat Holds Early Talks With Italy on Secure Satellite Services as LEO Launches Near Telesat has held preliminary talks with the Italian government to provide satellite services for encrypted communications used by officials in high-risk areas, according to reports.
The discussions follow stalled negotiations between Italy and Elon Musk's Starlink on similar secure connectivity systems.
Telesat plans to launch 150 to 200 low-Earth-orbit satellites starting this year for both commercial and military applications.
These talks highlight that Telesat is positioning its upcoming LEO constellation as a potential provider of secure government and defence communications, an area where reliability and security tend to be key decision drivers.
Investors may monitor whether early discussions with Italy convert into formal contracts and how the company executes on the planned LEO satellite launches, since both factors could affect future revenue mix and capital needs. New Risk • May 06
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 31% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.5% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (31% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Ankündigung • Apr 21
