Viasat announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. The fiscal second quarter results include record new contract awards and revenues of $548.0 million and $282.8 million, respectively, Adjusted EBITDA of $44.6 million and a net loss attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.04 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis or $0.18 per share on a diluted GAAP basis. Year-to-date, ViaSat reported new contract awards and revenues of $880.6 million and $524.6 million, respectively, Adjusted EBITDA of $74.1 million and a net loss attributable to ViaSat common stockholders of $0.22 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis or $0.51 per share on a diluted GAAP basis.
"Our second quarter results vividly illustrate the growth and earnings potential of the markets we've been developing the last several years," said Mark Dankberg, chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "New orders increased over 120%, revenues by 27%, and Adjusted EBITDA by 14% compared to the same period last year. The government segment grew revenues 25%, operating earnings by 70%, and Adjusted EBITDA by 51% compared to last year's second quarter, while booking over $170 million in new orders despite a very challenging defense budget environment. Consumer broadband subscriber growth continues to outpace the total broadband market, and contributed to a $15 million quarter-over-quarter gain in Adjusted EBITDA. Within satellite services, sequential revenue growth of $8 million yielded about $5 million in Adjusted EBITDA growth, highlighting the path to the investment returns we've been targeting for ViaSat-1."

Satellite Services revenues increased for the quarter and year-to-date as our total subscriber base expanded to 429,000 and the value of a higher mix of retail subscribers and the related average revenue per user (ARPU) drove growth. Satellite Services Adjusted EBITDA declined for the quarter and year-to-date compared to last year as the incremental margins gained through subscriber growth do not yet cover the fixed cost increases we undertook due to the ViaSat-1 satellite. Commercial Networks revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased for the quarter and year-to-date as satellite terminal sales and Ka-band network development revenues grew as global demand for Ka-band satellite networks and services expanded. Government Systems revenues and Adjusted EBITDA improved in the second quarter and year-to-date as our government mobile broadband products and services, command and control and tactical satellite networks revenues and associated earnings overcame reductions in information assurance product sales.
