As of May 9, 2025, EchoStar Corporation still awaits the release of its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The company last reported its financial health for the year ending December 31, 2024, showing progress despite previous challenges.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, EchoStar recorded a net loss of $119.55 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, significantly lower than the $1.70 billion loss in the same period of 2023. Total revenue for the quarter was $3.87 billion, meeting expectations and largely supported by the company's Pay-TV segment, even as subscriber numbers dwindled. Notable in 2024 was a noncash gain of approximately $689 million resulting from a debt exchange, which contributed to improving the company's overall financial picture. Without the noncash adjustments, the net loss would have been around $664 million, according to data from EchoStar's investor relations.
EchoStar's CEO, Hamid Akhavan, pointed out improvements across all company segments and emphasized the achievement of positive free cash flow during 2024. The Boost Mobile Network was also recognized as the leading mobile network in New York City, representing a positive development as the company looks to leverage these advances in 2025. Investors are keenly waiting for the upcoming financial report to gauge the company's ongoing strategies.
