Gilat Defense, Amazon Web Services, SES Space and Defense and the Wave Consortium to Hold A Joint Demonstration of A Virtualized Satellite Modem Operating over Cloud Infrastructure At Satellite 2026 Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced that Gilat Defense, Amazon Web Services (AWS), SES Space and Defense and the WAVE Consortium will hold a joint demonstration of a virtualized satellite modem operating over cloud infrastructure at Satellite 2026 (March 23-26), which will mark a step forward in the evolution of software-defined satellite communications for defense and government use. The demonstration will feature a link with one endpoint running as a FPGA-accelerated virtualized modem on AWS cloud infrastructure, and the other endpoint using a Gilat Aquarius Pro DS modem to showcase a newly realized capability in this configuration. SATCOM Connectivity between the AWS FPGA based cloud infrastructure and the Gilat digitizer was enabled through a DIFI-compliant interface, aligned with the open architecture defined by the WAVE Consortium and leveraging AWS GenAI capabilities. This achievement demonstrates how modem capabilities can be deployed as software, independent of custom-made hardware, enabling a new level of flexibility, scalability, and long-term adaptability for defense sovereign SATCOM networks. By virtualizing modem functionality and leveraging cloud infrastructure, the demonstrated architecture will allow defense organizations to introduce new capabilities through software, adapt to changing operational requirements seamlessly running different waveforms on the same infrastructure, and reduce long-term reliance on fixed hardware configurations. The use of standardized, open interfaces supports multi-vendor interoperability and future technology integration. Open architecture is at the core of the WAVE Consortium. This demonstration highlights how WAVE-aligned systems, built on standardized interfaces such as DIFI, utilizing FPGA technology which is of essence for the defense segment, enable interoperability across vendors and platforms and provide a strong foundation for next-generation SATCOM. Flexible, software-defined architectures are central to how defense communications will evolve, and this demonstration highlights the role collaboration plays in enabling that future. The demonstration will take place March 24 and 25. Tillkännagivande • Mar 05

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 28% This is considered a minor 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 Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (28% increase in shares outstanding). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 06

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 23% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Tillkännagivande • Oct 12

Hispasat Awards Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. A Multi-Million Dollar Order for Cellular Backhaul over Satellite to Extend Altan La Red Compartida Service to Rural Mexico Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. announced that Hispasat awarded Gilat a multi-million dollar order to expand the existing SkyEdge II-c platform that Hispasat operates in Mexico and procure Capricorn VSATs for cellular backhaul (CBH) over satellite. Hispasat will use Gilat technology to extend the service of Altan La Red Compartida, the shared telecommunications network in Mexico, to over three million people in Mexico. Mexico's underserved rural population will benefit from 4.5G LTE coverage enjoying high-quality mobile broadband voice and data services. Altan is committed to promoting the vision of more and better-connected residents in Mexico. Due to difficult terrain, laying out land-based infrastructure is unfeasible or would require exorbitant costs. Therefore, satellite backhauling is the preferred method to provide fast coverage to the unserved and underserved population in Mexico, in regions where telecommunications can be crucial to open new opportunities for economic and social development. Gilat's SkyEdge II-c platform with its flagship VSAT, Capricorn, over Hispasat's Ka-band Amazonas 5 satellite, provides a most reliable quick solution to meet Altan's demanding requirements. Gilat's CBH platform provides a user experience similar to terrestrial technologies enabling MNOs to expand high-quality coverage to underserved areas of Mexico.
