Gil Benyamini: Thank you, Adi. Good morning and good afternoon to everyone. Before I dive into the numbers, I would like to remind everyone that our financial results are presented both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. I will now walk through our financial highlights for Q2 2026. As Adi mentioned, we delivered a strong Q2 with 17% year-over-year revenue growth and 31% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA. Growth was broad-based across all three segments. Adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenues, demonstrating solid operating leverage. In terms of our financial results, the revenues for Q2 were $122.7 million, representing a 17% growth compared with $105 million in Q2 2025. The revenues for the commercial segment in Q2 2026 were $83 million, compared with $69.1 million in the same quarter last year. The 20% growth year-over-year was primarily driven by revenues from the in-flight connectivity vertical.

Speaker #2: I will now walk through our financial highlights for the second quarter of 2026. As Adi mentioned, we delivered a strong second quarter with 17% year-over-year revenue growth and 31% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA.

Speaker #2: Growth was broad-based across all three segments and adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenues, demonstrating solid operating leverage. In terms of our financial results, the revenues for the second quarter were $122.7 million, representing a 17% growth compared with $105 million in Q2 '25.

Speaker #2: The revenues for the commercial segment in Q2 '26 were $83 million, compared with $69.1 million in the same quarter last year. The 20% growth year-over-year was primarily driven by revenues from the in-flight connectivity vertical.

Speaker #2: Revenues for the defense segment in the second quarter of '26 were $22.5 million, 12% higher than $20 million, in the same quarter last year.

Gil Benyamini: Revenues for the Defense segment in Q2 2026 were $22.5 million, 12% higher than $20 million in the same quarter last year. Q2 2026 revenues for the Peru segment were $17.2 million, 8% higher than $15.9 million in Q2 2025. Our GAAP gross margin in Q2 2026 was 30%, in line with the same quarter last year. The decrease in the gross margin compared to Q1 2026 is mainly attributed to less favorable deal mix in the commercial segment, partially offset by higher gross margins in the Peru segment. GAAP operating expenses in Q2 2026 were $32.6 million, compared with $26.2 million in Q2 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an earnout provision related to the acquisition of Datapath, and it was recorded in GAAP G&A expenses. As a result, GAAP operating income was $4.7 million compared to $5.7 million in Q2 2025.

Speaker #2: Q2 '26 revenues for the Peru segment were $17.2 million, 8% higher than $15.9 million, in Q2 '25. Our gap gross margin in Q2 '26 was 30%, in line with the same quarter last year.

Speaker #2: The decrease in the gross margin compared to Q1 '26 is mainly attributed to a less favorable deal mix in the commercial segment, partially offset by a higher gross margin in the Peru segment.

Speaker #2: GAAP operating expenses in Q2 '26 were $32.6 million, compared with $26.2 million in Q2 '25. The increase was primarily attributable to an earn-out provision related to the acquisition of DataPath, which was recorded in GAAP G&A expenses.

Speaker #2: As a result, gap operating income was $4.7 million compared to $5.7 million in Q2 '25. Gap net income in Q2 '26 was $8.1 million, where diluted income per share of $0.10 compared with gap net income of $9.8 million over a diluted income per share of $0.17 in Q2 '25.

Gil Benyamini: GAAP net income in Q2 2026 was $8.1 million, for a diluted income per share of $0.10, compared with GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or a diluted income per share of $0.17 in Q2 2025. Turning to non-GAAP results. Our non-GAAP gross margin in Q2 2026 was 32%, compared with 33% in Q2 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to a less favorable deal mix in the Defense and Peru segments, partially offset by improved margins in the commercial segment. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the quarter were $26.3 million, compared with $25.2 million in Q2 2025. Non-GAAP operating income in Q2 2026 was $12.6 million, 35% higher than $9.3 million in Q2 2025.

Speaker #2: Turning to non-gap results, our non-gap gross margin in Q2 '26 was 32%, compared with 33% in Q2 '25. The decrease is primarily attributable to a less favorable deal mix in defense, and the Peru segment, partially offset by improved margins in the commercial segment.

Speaker #2: Non-gap operating expenses for the quarter were $26.3 million compared with $25.2 million in Q2 '25. Non-gap operating income in Q2 '26 was $12.6 million, 35% higher than $9.3 million in Q2 '25.

Speaker #2: The non-GAAP net income in Q2 '26 was $15.6 million, or a diluted income per share of $0.20, compared with the non-GAAP net income of $12 million, or income per share of $0.21 in Q2 '25.

Gil Benyamini: The non-GAAP net income in Q2 2026 was $15.6 million, or a diluted income per share of $0.20, compared with a non-GAAP net income of $12 million, or income per share of $0.21 in Q2 2025. The difference between the growth in the net income and the diluted earning per share reflects the higher diluted share count due to $166 million raised in the last trimester of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA reached $15.4 million, 31% higher than Q2 2025, reflecting strong operating leverage on higher revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to approximately 12.6%, compared with approximately 11.2% in Q2 2025, an improvement of 1.4%. Moving to the balance sheet and cash flow. During the quarter, we used approximately $1.9 million in operating cash, primarily reflecting working capital timing.

Louie DiPalma: Okay. Gil, good afternoon.

Speaker #3: Hey, and Gil, good afternoon.

Speaker #4: Hi, Louis.

Adi Sfadia: Hi, Louie.

Louie DiPalma: Over the years, Hughes has been referenced as one of your larger competitors. Do you see any impact from the bankruptcy in terms of potential opportunities or strategic activity? Thanks.

Speaker #3: Over the years, Hughes has been referenced as one of your larger competitors. Do you see any impact from the bankruptcy in terms of potential opportunities or strategic activity?

Speaker #3: Thanks.

Speaker #4: So indeed, Hughes over the years were a significant competitor of GILAT, mainly on the geo side, but also the sole provider of OneWeb modems.

Adi Sfadia: Indeed Hughes over the years were a significant competitor of Gilat, mainly on the GEO side, but also the sole provider of OneWeb modems. Hughes is also a customer of Gilat. We sell them SSPAs. We also buy from them modems to integrate with our SideWinder multi-orbit ESA antenna. We do have a small debt from them, ILS few hundred thousand, really insignificant. Based on the indication we got from them, they said that they have intention to pay all their debt and continue business as usual. I suspect that some of the customers will have uncertainty to work with a company under Chapter 11, especially customers that require long-term development efforts and long-term service needs. Over there, we see opportunity to penetrate.

Speaker #4: Hughes is also a customer of GILAT. We sell them SSPAs, we also buy from them modems to integrate with our side window multi-orbit ESA, antenna.

Speaker #4: We do have a small debt from them, a few hundred thousand really insignificant, based on the indication we got from them that they said that they have intention to pay all their debt and continue business as usual.

Speaker #4: I suspect that some of the customers will have uncertainty about working with a company under Chapter 11, especially customers that require long-term development efforts and long-term service needs, and over there we see an opportunity to penetrate.

Speaker #3: Great. At the recent defense industry conference, you announced the Ka-band Viper antenna as part of your RAY-SAT subsidiary. What Ka-band constellations should that antenna support, and what are the major applications where you envision seeing the greatest demand for the antenna?

Louie DiPalma: Great. That is helpful. At the recent Defense Industry Conference, you announced the Ka-band Viper antenna as part of your RaySat subsidiary. What Ka-band constellations should that antenna support? What are the major applications that you envision seeing the greatest demand for the antenna? Thanks.

Speaker #3: Thanks.

Speaker #4: So, generally speaking, it's going to support all the Ka constellations, from GEO satellites through Telesat LEO and mPOWER Ka. It can be installed on several types of—and also Amazon, by the way.

Adi Sfadia: Generally speaking, it's going to support all the Ka-band constellations, from GEO satellites through Telesat LEO and Telesat Lightspeed. Also Amazon, by the way. It can be installed in several types of UAVs and support all the relevant applications that those UAVs are required to do.

Speaker #4: It can be installed in several types of UAVs and support all the relevant applications that those UAVs are required to perform.

Speaker #3: Great. And how I guess, how small of unmanned aerial vehicles can the antenna support? Does it go as small as Group 3 drones or are the drones needed to be much larger?

Louie DiPalma: Okay. I guess, how small of unmanned aerial vehicles can the antenna support? Does it go as small as group 3 drones, or the drones needed to be much larger?

Speaker #4: No, it's for small to medium UAVs.

Adi Sfadia: No, it's from small to medium UAVs.

Speaker #3: Excellent. And on another topic, I was wondering, can you provide an update on the Stellar Blue milestone payments? I think there were different milestones—perhaps it related to line fit or strategic partnerships for this year—but can you provide an update?

Louie DiPalma: Excellent. On another topic, I was wondering, can you provide an update on the Stellar Blu milestone payments? Such that I think there were different milestones perhaps that related to line-fit or strategic partnerships for this year. Can you provide an update?

Speaker #4: Definitely. So the last milestone of Stellar Blue was to sign a strategic agreement. The milestone was until June 2026. We didn't meet although we signed an important agreement during the quarter, with the Airbus line fit, it didn't mean met the qualification in the agreement to meet the air and out requirement.

Adi Sfadia: Definitely. The last milestone of Stellar Blu was to sign a strategic agreement. The milestone was until June 2026. Although we signed the important agreement during the quarter, with Airbus line-fit, it didn't meet the qualification in the agreement, to meet the earn-out requirement. Basically, we paid $98 million for the Stellar Blu acquisition. Now we are free from earn-out obligations and working on cost reductions and large deployment with our customers.

Speaker #4: So basically, we paid 99 million dollars for the Stellar Blue 98 million dollars for the Stellar Blue acquisition. And now we are free from air and out obligations and working to on cost reductions and large deployment with our customers.

Louie DiPalma: Great. Are you able to share what was the revenue for Stellar Blu in the quarter or just the growth for Stellar Blu relative to last year?

Speaker #3: Great. And what was the are you able to share what was the revenue for Stellar Blue in the quarter or just the growth for Stellar Blue relative to last year?

Speaker #4: I can share that this quarter was a record quarter in terms of the number of terminals that we delivered—more than 200 terminals were delivered this quarter.

Adi Sfadia: I can share that this quarter was a record quarter in terms of the number of terminals that we delivered. More than 200 terminals we delivered this quarter. A nice growth over the previous quarter. The Stellar Blu revenues are part of the commercial revenues, and since the commercial revenues is an integrated segment, it's hard to break the information. This quarter, we have a book-to-revenue ratio on the terminal side that was higher than one.

Speaker #4: There was a nice growth over the previous quarter. The Stellar Blue revenues are part of the commercial revenues, and since the commercial revenues are in the integrated segment, it's hard to break out that information.

Speaker #4: This quarter, we have a book-to-revenue ratio on the terminal side that was higher than one.

Louie DiPalma: Excellent. Thanks. That's it for me.

Speaker #3: Excellent. Thanks. That's it for me.

Speaker #4: Thank you, Louis.

Adi Sfadia: Thank you, Louis.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Louis.

Gil Benyamini: Thank you, Louis.

Speaker #1: The next question is from Chris Quilty of Quilty Space. Please go ahead.

Operator: Next question is from Chris Quilty of Quilty Space. Please go ahead.

Speaker #2: Thanks. Just as a follow-up on that, do you know how many terminals are actually installed and operating now?

Chris Quilty: Thanks. Just as a follow-up on that, do you know how many terminals are actually installed and operating now?

Adi Sfadia: I don't remember the exact number. I think it's around 600 units. Slightly more than 600 units are installed and operate.

Speaker #4: I don't remember the exact number. I think it's around 600 units—slightly more than 600 units—are installed and operating. But Chris, I think it's important to emphasize that the installation is up to our customers and not up to us.

Chris Quilty: Got you.

Adi Sfadia: Chris, I think it's important to emphasize that the installation is up to our customers and not up to us. We delivered significantly more units than that, and installation depends on their timeline and their agreement with the airlines.

Speaker #4: We delivered significantly more units than that, and the installation depends on their timeline and their agreement with the airlines.

Speaker #2: Gotcha. And do you know if the installation times are compressing? Because typically, these would take a long period of time, and I think Starlink is doing these in a matter of hours nowadays.

Chris Quilty: Got you. Do you know, are the installation times compressing? Typically these would take a long period of time, and I think Starlink is doing these in a matter of hours nowadays.

Speaker #4: I know that they are working hard to run and install. It really depends on aircraft availability and maintenance windows. I think that they are about to finish the second large order in the next few months.

Adi Sfadia: I know that they are working hard and run to install. It really depends on the aircraft availability and maintenance windows. I think that they're about to finish the second large order in the next few months.

Speaker #2: Understand. And are you moving closer or still in negotiations with any other airline customers that you think are likely before end of the year?

Chris Quilty: Understand. Are you moving closer or still in negotiations with any other airline customers that you think are likely before end of the year?

Speaker #4: We are not engaged directly with the airlines. Most of the engagement is done through our partners, the SCS and Panasonic. We know that they got several awards that we are not allowed to disclose.

Adi Sfadia: We are not engaged directly with the airlines. Most of the engagement done through our partners, the SES and Panasonic. We know that they got several awards that we are not allowed to expose. In some cases, they don't share with us all the opportunities upfront. We know that they are bidding on some very large opportunities that can drive significant revenue growth in the future.

Speaker #4: And in some cases, they don't share with us all the opportunities upfront. We know that they are bidding on some very large opportunities that can drive significant revenue growth in the future.

Speaker #2: Great. Gil, just a question on the segment growth here. If I look at your prior forecast for the defense segment, I think it's got to grow about 40% in the second half over the first half.

Chris Quilty: Great. Gil, just a question on the segment growth here. If I look at your prior forecast for the defense segment, I think it's got to grow about 40% in H2 over H1.

Speaker #2: Is that still a good trajectory for the defense segment? And I guess, same for the other two segments, still tracking on the beginning of the year forecast, or has it shifted?

Chris Quilty: Is that still a good trajectory for the defense segment? I guess, same for the other two segments, still tracking on the beginning of the year forecast or has it shifted?

Speaker #5: Yes. So our forecast is based on firm backlog, delivery schedule, and pipeline. The forecast for defense is as we presented, and we definitely see a much higher H2 in defense compared to H1.

Gil Benyamini: Yes. Our forecast is based on firm backlog and delivery schedule and pipeline. The forecast for the defense is as we presented. We definitely see a much higher H2 in the defense compared to H1. This is again aligned with the backlog and expected book to ships in H2 of the year. The same is-

Speaker #5: And this is, again, aligned with the backlog and expected book-to-ship in the second half of the year. The same is relevant for the airlines.

Chris Quilty: Got you. The commercial segment was better than I had forecast in Q2, but I assume that's primarily hardware shipments related with the large number of terminals shipped?

Speaker #2: Yeah. And the commercial segment was better than I had forecast in Q2, but I assume that's primarily hardware shipments related, with the large number of terminals shipped.

Speaker #5: Yeah, it's a combination of the deliveries of the Sidewinders that Adi mentioned, the record delivery, and yeah, and hubs and other network equipment that might shift a bit to the right or to the left.

Gil Benyamini: Yeah. It's a combination of the deliveries of the SideWinder that Adi mentioned, the record delivery, and hubs and other network equipment that might shift a bit to the right or to the left, and yeah, it was better than expected.

Speaker #5: And, yeah, it was better than expected.

Speaker #2: Understand. And on the sky edge for platform, are you yet seeing any early pull from your customers have a lot of software-defined satellites on orbit?

Chris Quilty: Understand. On the SkyEdge IV platform, are you yet seeing any early pull from your customers have a lot of software-defined satellites on orbit? I think we're looking towards next year for the delivery of those systems. Do you not expect to see firm orders until satellites are on orbit?

Speaker #2: I think we're looking towards next year for the delivery of those systems. Or do you not expect to see firm orders until satellites are on orbit?

Speaker #5: No, the way we work with our customers is that in some cases they advance orders; they want to be ready when the satellite is in orbit.

Adi Sfadia: No. The way we work with our customers that in some cases they advance orders, they want to be ready when the satellite is in orbit. We do expect to get some large orders from our existing customers and new customers. There are several satellites that are planned to be launched next year, and in some cases, we are in a competition process, and in some cases, we expect to get the orders.

Speaker #5: We do expect to get some large orders. From our existing customers and new customers, we there are several satellites that are planned to be launched next year, and in some cases we are in competition process, and in some cases we expect to get the orders.

Speaker #2: Gotcha. And on the broader commercial landscape, you've kind of seen verticals like cellular backhaul, cycle up and cycle down. Are you seeing any trends on the commercial side of the market worth noting?

Chris Quilty: Got you. On the broader commercial landscape, you've kind of seen verticals like cellular backhaul cycle up and cycle down. Are you seeing any trends on the commercial side of the market worth noting?

Adi Sfadia: Nothing new. The focus today on the commercial side is mainly on the IFC and the maritime on the mobility. We do see a lot of traction around small and micro GEO satellites, especially on the sovereign satellites. We do see a lot of traction around sovereign networks or countries that want to launch sovereign LEO constellations, small constellations to support their needs. A lot of countries understand that they need a solution both on the GEO side and on the LEO side. No doubt that GEO, in terms of sovereign network, is much cheaper, but some of the countries would like to have a full-blown LEO constellation.

Speaker #4: Nothing new. The focus today on the commercial side is mainly on the IFC and the maritime on the mobility. We do see a lot of traction around small and micro geo satellites.

Speaker #4: Especially on the sovereign satellites. We do see a lot of traction around sovereign networks or sovereign or countries that want to launch sovereign Leo constellation, small constellation to support their needs.

Speaker #4: A lot of countries understand that they need solutions both on the GEO side and on the LEO side. No doubt that GEO, in terms of a sovereign network, is much cheaper, but some of the countries would like to have a full-blown LEO constellation.

Speaker #2: Got it. Just to circle back to the UAV opportunity. Is that product priced for more longer duration strategic platforms or is this something that you can price more in the expendable category, which is been primarily the trend?

Chris Quilty: Got it. Just to circle back to the UAV opportunity, is that product priced for more longer duration strategic platforms, or is this something that you can price more in the expendable category, which has been primarily the trend in recent years?

Speaker #4: I think at the end, the product will be customized per customer and per platform. And the pricing will be based on the customer-specific configuration.

Adi Sfadia: I think at the end, the product will be customized per customer and per platform, and the pricing will be based on the customer's specific configuration. I think at the end, we will cover both of the models. Generally speaking, we want to be attractive in terms of SWaP and cost.

Speaker #4: So I think at the end, we will cover both of the models. Generally speaking, we want to be attractive in terms of swap and cost.

Speaker #2: Gotcha. Gil, just to real quick, the working capital, some of the accounts seem larger this quarter. Were there any sort of unusual moves and fair to assume we'll see that turn into more cash flow in the back half of the year?

Chris Quilty: Got you. Gil, just real quick, the working capital, some of the accounts seem larger this quarter. Were there any sort of unusual moves and fair to assume we'll see that turn into more cash flow in the back H2 of the year?

Speaker #5: Yeah. So this is mainly a needs for deliveries in the second half of the second year. So you can see it, for instance, in the inventory and so on.

Gil Benyamini: Yeah. This is mainly needs for deliveries in the H2 of the second year. You can see it, for instance, in the inventory and so on. Of course, it also affected cash. As I said, we had some working capital needs, and we do expect to see a stabilization during the H2 of the year.

Speaker #5: And of course, it also affected cash, as I said. We had some working capital needs and we do expect to see stabilization year.

Speaker #4: Chris, we revenue grew significantly this quarter over the same quarter last year. And at the end, when you grow revenue, you need to invest in working capital.

Adi Sfadia: Chris, revenue grew significantly this quarter over the same quarter last year. At the end, when you grow revenue, you need to invest in working capital. As Gil said, we do expect to see continued growth, and this is one of the reasons we increased our inventory, to shorten lead time. Everything is against backlog, and we expect to consume it in the next two to three quarters.

Speaker #4: And as Gil said, we do expect to see continued growth and this is one of the reason we increased our inventory to shorten lead time everything is against backlog and we expect to consume it in the next two to three quarters.

Speaker #2: Gotcha. And finally, just on the amplifier product line, I know it's kind of buried within defense now, but you had a bunch of new products come out last year.

Chris Quilty: Got you. Finally, just on the amplifier product line, I know it's kind of buried within defense now, but you had a bunch of new products come out last year. Are you seeing any traction there, like if we were tracking that business in the old way? Are we looking for sort of double-digit growth there this year?

Speaker #2: Are you seeing any traction there? Like, if we were tracking that business in the old way, are we looking for sort of double-digit growth there this year?

Speaker #4: We expect to see a decent growth. It's both on the commercial side and the defense side to be honest, these days the commercial side is bigger than the defense side.

Adi Sfadia: We expect to see a decent growth. It's both on the commercial side and the defense side. To be honest, these days, the commercial side is bigger than the defense side. In the defense, we received some very nice orders, including development of new products. We expect to see their growth in the future. On the commercial side, the focus used to be IFC, and today is mainly SSPA to LEO Gateways. We work with two out of the three, out of the four constellations that are available today.

Speaker #4: In the defense, we received some very nice orders including development of new products. We will expect to see the growth in the future. And on the commercial side, the focus used to be IFC and today is mainly SSPA to Leo gateways.

Speaker #4: And we work with two of the two, out of the three, out of the four constellations that are available today.

Speaker #2: So are these KA or KU?

Chris Quilty: Are these Ka-band or Ku-band?

Speaker #4: KA. Right now it's KA.

Adi Sfadia: Ka-band.

Chris Quilty: They're both. Okay.

Adi Sfadia: Right now, it's Ka-band.

Speaker #2: Got it. All right. Thank you, gentlemen.

Chris Quilty: Got it. All right. Thank you, gentlemen.

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Adi Sfadia: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Chris.

Gil Benyamini: Thank you, Chris.

Speaker #3: The next question is from Ryan Koontz of Minimum Company. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question is from Ryan Koontz of Needham & Company. Please go ahead.

Speaker #1: Great. Thanks. Most of my questions have been answered here. Maybe in terms of the defense side, just another angle here. Is there much of a product makeshift going on compared to what you've seen in past years?

Ryan Koontz: Great. Thanks. Most of my question's been answered here, maybe in terms of the defense side, just another angle here. Is there much of a product mix shift going on compared to what you've seen in past years? Any trends you'd point out on the defense side of the business?

Speaker #1: Any trends you'd point out on the defense side of the business?

Speaker #4: I think what we can say is that we see much more business around the decades the fact that the Middle Eastern situation the fact that the Iranian took out of operation several Middle East increased the need for mobile gateways deployment.

Adi Sfadia: I think what we can say is that we see much more business around the DCATS. The fact that the Middle Eastern situation, the fact that the Iranian took out of operation several fixed US gateways around the Middle East, increased needs for mobile gateways deployment. We see a lot of traction around this, and based on Datapath history, after such operations, they see a lot of business growth on the DCATS. We do see a lot of loitering munition and small ESA need for loitering munition. We don't have a solution for that right now, it's something that we are considering carefully and in discussion with several customers to customize our solutions to comply with the needs of loitering munition. We believe this is a significantly growing segment in the near future.

Speaker #4: So we see a lot of traction around this. And based on data past history, it's after such operations, they see a lot of business growth on the decades.

Speaker #4: We do see a lot of loitering munition and small ESA need for loitering munition. We don't have a solution for that right now, but it's something that we are considering carefully and in discussion with several customer to customize our solutions.

Speaker #4: To comply with the needs of loitering munition, we believe this is a significantly growing segment in the near future.

Speaker #1: That's great, Adi. And then maybe on the Peru side, what's that mix been like on recurring versus one-time build revenues there? This year versus, say, last year?

Ryan Koontz: That's great, Adi. Maybe on the Peru side, what's that mix been like on recurring versus one-time build revenues there this year versus say last year for Peru?

Speaker #1: For Peru?

Speaker #5: So last year, if you remember, Ryan, we signed around Q3 the expansion project. Of about 85 million dollars, which about half of it is one-time over about a year.

Gil Benyamini: Last year, if you remember, Ryan, we signed around Q3 the expansion project of about $85 million, which about half of it is one time over about a year. It's almost done by now. The rest of revenues are kind of recurring revenues, not in the term of subscription, it's a long-term service contract that we have over there to operate the networks and for some other long-term projects. I can say that this quarter and going forward, the majority of the revenues in Peru are in kind of recurring revenues.

Speaker #5: So it's almost done. By now, and the rest of revenues are kind of recurring revenues not in the term of subscription, but it's a long-term service contracts that we have over there.

Speaker #5: To operate the networks and for some other long-term projects. So I can say that this quarter and going forward, the majority of the revenues in Peru are in kind of recurring revenues.

Speaker #1: Great. Thanks. And maybe one last question on IFC. You talked about working through your partners today. Are there particular geographies or types of planes you think that they're seeing or types of aircraft they're seeing the most traction with for your Stellar Blue Solution, your Sidewinder?

Ryan Koontz: Great. Thanks. Maybe one last question on IFC. You talked about working through your partners today. Are there particular geographies or types of aircraft they're seeing the most traction with for your Stellar Blu solution, your SideWinder?

Speaker #4: I think that today they are tackling globally. I think that there are several countries that IFC penetration is relatively low. And I think that over there it's represent the biggest opportunity.

Adi Sfadia: I think that today they are tackling globally. I think that there are several countries that the IFC penetration is relatively low, I think that over there it represents the biggest opportunity. I think Asia Pacific is a big opportunity, Of course, Latin America.

Speaker #4: I think Asia-Pacific is a big opportunity, and of course, Latin America.

Speaker #1: Super helpful. Thanks, gentlemen.

Ryan Koontz: Super helpful. Thanks, gentlemen.

Speaker #4: Thank you, Ryan.

Adi Sfadia: Thank you, Ryan.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Ryan.

Gil Benyamini: Thank you, Ryan.

Speaker #3: The next question is from Sergei Glinianov of Freedom Brokers. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question is from Sergey Glinyanov of Freedom Broker. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Good day, Adi. You?

Sergey Glinyanov: Good day, Adi, Gil.

Speaker #1: Hi.

Gil Benyamini: Hi.

Sergey Glinyanov: One question. How should we think about the margin in H2? Because according to your guidance range, the positive scenario is 12.3% to be the margin for H2 versus H1 margin at 13.1%. What are more of the factors that could impact adversely, and what could you optimize to reach highest number in H2? Thank you.

Speaker #6: So one question. How should we think about the margin in second half? Because according to your guidance range, the positive scenario is 12 points 3% EBITDA margin for second half versus first half margin at 13.1%.

Speaker #6: What are more the factors that could impact adversely and what could you optimize to reach highest number in second half? Thank you.

Speaker #5: Okay. Hi, Sergei. So I would say that there are probably two trends. One, we expect to see higher revenues in the second half of the year.

Gil Benyamini: Okay. Hi, Sergey. I would say that there are probably two trends. One, we expect to see higher revenues in H2 and to have some leverage, which will positively affect the EBITDA margins. This is one side. Of course, mix and deliveries can shift a little bit to the right or left, but in general, this is the trend. On the other hand, we do expect to see some additional $3 to 5 million of operating expenses in H2 due to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Israeli shekel and its effect on our expenses. All in all, when we combine both, we are remaining the same EBITDA margins that we had at the beginning of the year in the guidance throughout the whole year.

Speaker #5: And to have some leverage which will positively affect the EBITDA margins. This is one side. Of course, mix and deliveries can shift a little bit to the right or left, but in general, this is the trend.

Speaker #5: On the other hand, we do expect to see an additional $3 to $5 million of operating expenses in the second half due to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Israeli shekel, and its effect on our expenses.

Speaker #5: So all in all, when we combine both, we are remaining the same EBITDA margins that we had at the beginning of the year in the guidance throughout the whole year.

Speaker #6: Okay. Thank you.

Sergey Glinyanov: Okay, thank you.

Speaker #3: The next question is from Gunther Karger of Discovery Group. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question is from Gunther of Discovery Group. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Yes. Thank you. I have. A question and a comment. The question is, where in Gilad do you expect the contact and acquisition of the satellite business to be placed?

[Analyst] (Discovery Group): Yes, thank you. I have a question and a comment. The question is, where in Gilat do you expect the Comtech acquisition of the satellite business to be placed?

Gunther Karger: Yes, thank you. I have a question and a comment. The question is, where in Gilat do you expect the Comtech acquisition of the satellite business to be placed?

Adi Sfadia: Comtech is going to be placed mainly on the defense side. The revenues is 70% to 80% is defense and 20% to 30% commercial. The defense will go with the defense and the commercial will go with the commercial. What we are acquiring is a set of six different business units, and we'll allocate the business units between the relevant segments. The modem, for example, will be mainly under the defense business.

Speaker #4: Contact is going to be placed mainly on the defense side. The revenues is 70 to 80 percent is defense and 20 to 30 percent commercial.

Speaker #4: So the defense will go with the defense and the commercial will go with the commercial. What we are requiring is a set of six different business units.

Speaker #4: And we'll allocate the business units between the relevant segments. So the modem, for example, will be mainly under the defense business.

Speaker #7: Yes. Thank you. And the comment is that the founders, the 11 sons and brothers would be very proud of what you have done with the companies.

[Analyst] (Discovery Group): Yes. Thank you. The comment is that the founders, the 11 sons and brothers would be very proud of what you've done with the company. Thank you very much.

Gunther Karger: Yes. Thank you. The comment is that the founders, the 11 sons and brothers would be very proud of what you've done with the company. Thank you very much.
