Exhibit 99.2
Q3 FY25 Shareholder Letter
Fellow shareholders, Our Q3 fiscal year 2025 results are good and moderately better than expectations and we remain on track for
our full fiscal year guidance. Performance reflected a blend of good growth in our strongest target markets, transitions to enhanced value propositions in maritime, and expected declines in fixed broadband. We are also making steady progress in
achieving capital synergies and operating cost efficiencies supporting earnings and driving cash conversion. We intend to sustain and enhance already strong positions in attractive and growing satellite services and technology markets. Key factors
enabling our growth, and progress on areas we expect can sustain and accelerate growth include: In aviation, the number of commercial IFC aircraft in service grew ~13% YoY, business jets grew ~18% YoY, and backlog grew even faster at 22% YoY.
Aviation continues to be an attractive growth market for us. We have a compelling value proposition in IFC and have continued to expand our customer base both in the US and internationally. We have made very steady progress in integrating capacity
from multiple third-party satellite operator partners to expand our coverage and capacity. We have been successful at winning new airlines as well as new fleets with existing customers, going increasingly global with our full, fast and
free service plans for airlines choosing that business model, and meeting SLAs even on the busiest routes and at major hub airports. Customers are responding positively. For instance, as just announced, we are very pleased to expand to
full fleet with STARLUX in Asia Pacific. A recent report from a Hawaii Travel News website described their experience with ViaSat WiFi on a United 737 MAX from LAX to Hawaii, receiving 130 Mbps speeds on a plane served by ViaSat-3 (VS-3) F1 testing
our newest WiFi technology provided free to passengers. We are anticipating even better performance with VS-3 F2 and F3. VS-3 F1 with its ability to dedicate satellite beams to individual planes has served over 10,000 flights to date. In business
aviation, we are in the process of upgrading a number of legacy Inmarsat-served jets to service contracts with uncapped speeds and usage volumes and have continued to grow the number of business jets in service. Our Defense and
Advanced Technologies segment grew revenue almost 20% YoY in Q3 FY2025, reflecting revenue increases in each of its four business lines following an exceptional level of new orders in Q2. Backlog is up YoY, as is our cumulative unawarded IDIQ
portfolio. We are pleased to see very positive customer feedback on our GEO/LEO multi-orbit enterprise maritime service, NexusWave. We are going step by step. After launching beta service last fall, we have grown our order pipeline, turned
the leading edge of that into firm backlog and this quarter we are expecting to accelerate turning that backlog into vessels in service, thereby driving additional maritime service revenue. Based on our order pipeline, customer service plan
selection and feedback from direct customers and global distribution partners, we are targeting a return to growth in our maritime business line in FY2026. We have been aggressive and ambitious in forming key partnerships with multiple GSO
and NGSO operators and continue to incorporate capacity on multiple new third party satellites into a more highly integrated version of the combined Inmarsat/ViaSat satellite fleet to deliver state-of-the art services. We have made meaningful
progress on techniques to expand geographic coverage and optimize resources to better serve our mobility customers. This work contributed to a portion of the capex savings in FY2025 while still expanding total platforms in service and
increasing bandwidth per platform and reducing near-term scheduling risk for the VS-3 satellites. We have also made steady progress on getting the VS-3 satellite constellation into service as we get closer to completion, schedule risk is
diminishing. We continue to expect VS-3 F2 to be completed and shipped to Cape Canaveral this summer and to enter commercial service late CY2025. The VS-3 F3 manufacturing and test schedule outlook is unchanged from last quarter, but given our
significantly increased coverage and capacity resources, we have chosen a less capital intensive launch configuration that has slightly extended the orbit raising time, which is expected to shift the commercial in-service date for VS-3 F3 into
CY2026. We are also making good progress on our collaborative approach to transforming our L-band networks. We are very pleased that the European Space Agency (ESA) has established an agreement with the Mobile Satellite Services Association
(MSSA) and a new contract with Viasat, which are intended to support and promote European participation in the development of a standards-based, open architecture LEO constellation that can augment existing GEO and LEO direct-to-device (D2D)
satellite services. We see global engagement and participation in D2D satellite services as a critical element in delivering 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) services that augment national telecommunications architectures while supporting their
sovereignty and security, and ensuring regulatory compliance. We believe it is a differentiated strategy that promotes global interests in participating in the space economy, technology innovation, and a safe and sustainable space environment. We,
and our partners in MSSA, are excited about ESAs involvement in this endeavor. Shared, open architecture, and standards-based multi-tenant space infrastructure utilize proven business models from terrestrial mobile networks, and they are
expected to reduce costs and help countries and companies compete effectively. From ViaSats perspective we anticipate that these initiatives will help reduce our future capital outlays while enabling state-of-the-art networks and services.
Lastly, we believe recent D2D transactions help underscore the value of our MSS spectrum, and the benefits of supporting 3GPP NBIoT D2D services on our existing fleet. Overall, we are making steady progress building our mid to long-term outlook and
we remain focused on growth, cash conversion and reducing leverage. We continue to believe we have portfolio and strategic optionality in the means and sequences in which we address our challenges and opportunities. Shareholder Letter | Q3 Fiscal
Year 2025 1
Q3 FY2025 Financial Results Revenue of $1.1 billion in Q3 FY2025 was flat YoY. Strong revenue growth of 20% YoY in the Defense and
Advanced Technologies segment was offset by lower revenues in the Communication Services segment. Net loss of $158 million for Q3 FY2025 increased from a net loss of $124 million in Q3 FY2024, primarily reflecting the loss on the extinguishment of
the Inmarsat 2026 senior secured notes partially offset by higher operating income and lower net interest expense. Q3 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA1 was $393 million, an increase of 3% YoY. Strong operating performance in aviation services, government
satcom, space and mission systems, and tactical networking products was partially offset by declines in fixed services and other (FS&O), and maritime service revenues. Incremental Adjusted EBITDA contributions improved relative to revenue
compared to the prior year period. Defense and Advanced Technologies revenue increased 20% YoY driven primarily by strong growth in information security and cyber defense, space and mission systems, and tactical networking products. Communication
Services revenue decreased 6% YoY due primarily to expected declines in FS&O service revenues and lower revenue from maritime services, which were partially offset by continued growth in aviation services and government satcom services. Awards
for the quarter were $1.1 billion, a decline of 12% YoY. Defense and Advanced Technologies segment awards grew 49% to $327 million, partially offset by a decline in Communication Services of 25% primarily related to strong prior year award growth in
government satcom. Our Net Debt3 relative to LTM Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly sequentially. AWARDS $ in millions BACKLOG $ in millions REVENUE $ in millions ADJ. EBITDA1 $ in millions OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) $ in millions NET INCOME (LOSS)2 $

Communication Services Segment Highlights Announced leading global shipping operator K LINE chose to trial Inmarsat Maritimes new bonded network service NexusWave on K LINEs fleet. Launched JetXP
enhanced performance for select business aviation connectivity customers. JetXP features uncapped speeds, expanded capacity and increased network prioritization which improve overall experience. It is a unique offering that could only be achieved
with our combination of our world-class technology, expertise and innovation, and our partner ecosystem, which includes business leading value-added resellers, OEMs and MROs. Initial results have been extremely positive. ViaSat-3 F1 began
delivering connectivity to US Government customers including the US Marine Corps. Our ViaSat-3 satellite design provides greater capacity and the flexibility to dynamically shift bandwidth where it is needed most. The use of small beams, beam
shaping, encryption and unique anti-jam capabilities are designed to provide secure and reliable connectivity to support the most critical government missions. Successfully completed in-orbit testing of GX10A and GX10B satellite payloads. The
payloads are hosted on Space Norways Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission spacecraft and are expected to provide broadband satellite coverage over the Arctic region for government and commercial customers early to mid-calendar year 2025.
Successfully demonstrated direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity at high profile events in Saudi Arabia, India, and United Arab Emirates sending SoS and two-way messages over the companys highly reliable L-band satellites which orbit
above Asia. Completed the divestiture of the Energy Services System Integration business which was included in Fixed Services and Other business line. Awards Q3 FY2025 Communication Services awards decreased 25% YoY to $751M million. Strong
YoY growth in aviation was more than offset by declines in government satcom, FS&O and maritime services. The government satcom business also benefitted from a significant new satellite services contract from the US government in Q3 FY2024. Q3
FY2025 total backlog of $2.6 billion decreased 13% YoY; aviation and government satcom backlog increased 22% and 12%, respectively. Revenue In Q3 FY2025, Communication Services revenue decreased 6% YoY to $820 million. The decline was primarily
driven by product revenues which were down 40% primarily due to accelerated IFC terminal deliveries in the prior year period. Service revenue increases of 12% and 11% YoY from aviation and government satcom, respectively, were more than offset by a
21% YoY decrease in FS&O services and a 9% YoY decrease in maritime services as third-party companion offerings created incremental ARPU pressure. Mobility Ka-band service metrics continued to grow YoY and sequentially, ending the quarter with
an aggregate of approximately 20,200 vessels and aircraft in service. Commercial and business aviation ended the quarter with approximately 3,950 and 2,000 aircraft in service, respectively. U.S. fixed broadband ended the quarter with approximately
205,000 subscribers and $115 average revenue per user. Adjusted EBITDA Communication Services Q3 FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $330M was flat compared to prior year. Strong operating performance in aviation and government satcom services was offset by
lower incremental revenue flow-through from FS&O, maritime services, and overall product revenues. Q3 FY2025 incremental Adjusted EBITDA contributions improved relative to revenue compared to Q3 FY2024, reflecting increased gross margins as well
as lower R&D expenditures and sales and marketing expenses. Shareholder Letter | Q3 Fiscal Year 2025 3
Defense and Advanced Technologies segment provides a diverse set of resilient, vertically integrated solutions, leveraging core
technical competencies in encryption, cyber security, tactical gateways, modems and waveforms, to government and commercial customers AWARDS, REVENUE AND ADJ. EBITDA1 $ in millions PRODUCT REVENUE MIX $ in millions BACKLOG AND SOLE SOURCE UNAWARDED
IDIQ $ in millions Defense and Advanced Technologies Segment Highlights Awarded up to $568 million sole-source IDIQ contract to support C5ISR capabilities for US Defense Forces. Through this contract, Viasat will continue to deliver a diverse
portfolio of technologies and services. Our Communication Services and Defense and Advanced Technologies portfolios offer proven and innovative government solutions, including tactical gateways and advanced networking, airborne SATCOM terminals and
hubs, ground terminals and modems, beyond-line-of-sight satellite services, and cybersecurity and encryption capabilities. Antenna systems (AS), part of SMS, secured a $50 million award from a prime contractor for providing full-motion
antenna systems that will be part of ground infrastructure supporting global coverage for missile warning, tracking, and defeat missions as well as demonstrate advanced tactical data links. Selected by Defense Innovation Unit to deliver
resilient orchestration software for autonomous systems. Our mobile network orchestration solution is an optimal fit for addressing the network and advanced requirements to enable resilient, multi-path communications through contested and denied
environments. Ramped up shipment of a $35M Q2 FY2025 award for sales & support of Move Out/ Jump Off (MOJO) Link 16 expeditionary tactical gateway system in support of the Marine Expeditionary Forces. The MOJO kits provide ground
combat forces with the ability to exchange situational awareness and targeting data with other Link 16 or Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL)-enabled platforms, supporting Joint All-Domain Command and Control for operations. Awards Defense and
Advanced Technologies Q3 FY2025 awards increased 49% YoY to $327 million. The YoY growth was primarily driven by significant awards in space and mission systems solutions driven by antenna systems, tactical networking products, and information
security and cyber defense products. Backlog was $925 million in Q3 FY2025, an increase of 26% YoY and flat sequentially, and book-to-bill was 1.1. Revenue Q3 FY2025 Defense and Advanced Technologies revenue was $303 million, a 20% increase YoY. The
YoY revenue growth was driven primarily by product revenue increases in tactical networking, information security and cyber defense, and space and mission systems. Adjusted EBITDA In Q3 FY2025, Defense and Advanced Technologies Adjusted EBITDA
increased 27% YoY to $64 million. Strong YoY operating performance across the segment portfolio from tactical networking, space and mission systems, and information security and cyber defense more than offset higher R&D expenditures. Q3 FY2025
incremental Adjusted EBITDA contributions improved relative to revenue compared to Q3 FY2024, driven primarily by increased product gross margins. Shareholder Letter | Q3 Fiscal Year 2025 4
OPERATING CASH FLOW $ in millions CAPITAL EXPENDITURE $ in millions NET DEBT3 $ in billions Balance Sheet, Cash Flows and Liquidity Operating Cash
Flow Viasat generated $219 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, an increase of $86 million YoY and a decrease of $20 million sequentially. The YoY increase primarily reflects decreased working capital largely from decreases in
receivables and inventory, and lower cash taxes. The sequential decline primarily reflects increased working capital largely from a decrease in accrued liabilities. Capital Expenditure Q3 FY2025 capital expenditures declined 40% YoY to $253 million.
Capital expenditures decreased YoY primarily due to lower satellite expenditures related to timing of certain space, ground infrastructure and other capex payments. Net Debt and Liquidity Viasat ended Q3 FY2025 with $2.7 billion in available
liquidity which consisted of $1.56 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.14 billion of borrowing ability under our two undrawn revolving credit faciliaties. Net Debt3 increased to $5.66 billion primarily due to the GX10 satellite lease,
resulting in a slight sequential increase in our Net Debt relative to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Shareholder Letter | Q3 Fiscal Year 2025 5
Outlook We are maintaining our FY25 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook, which reflects strong results in the first three quarters including in
our aviation and defense orderbooks, confidence in our competitive position in our markets represented by strong awards, and despite continued headwinds from OEM related delays of aircraft deliveries. For FY2025 our guidance is unchanged.
Communication Services FY2025 revenue guidance remains unchanged reflecting strong growth in aviation services and government satcom services that we expect will be more than offset by declines in U.S. fixed broadband and, to a lesser extent,
maritime revenues. DAT YoY revenue growth guidance for FY2025 remains unchanged and is expected to increase in the mid-teens, driven primarily by tactical networking products, recurring contributions from certain licensing agreements, and
strong demand for high-speed Type 1 encryptors fueled by cloud data center geographic expansion and support for AI applications. Revenue visibility for FY2025 is supported by backlog of over $900 million as of December 31, 2024. For FY2025 our
Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged with the growth expected to be driven by strong revenue flow through from DAT licensing agreements and Communication Services. We continue to expect Net Debt relative to LTM Adjusted EBITDA to increase
modestly by the end of FY2025 given the prior fiscal year benefit from accelerated insurance payments. In FY2025 we now expect capital expenditures to decline to approximately $1.1 billion (which includes approximately $300 million for
Inmarsat-related capital expenditures). The FY2025 range excludes the benefit from insurance recoveries and includes capitalized interest in our capex guidance, which is approximately $200 million per year. Looking ahead to FY2026, we
continue to expect YoY revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth with capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion which indicates an inflection to positive free cash flow in the second half FY2026. In closing, we expect to continue to be successful
in capturing our share of large and growing markets and remain focused on improving operational and capital productivity. We delivered strong YoY growth across our DAT segment and in aviation and government satellite connectivity. As we continue to
launch our multiorbit offerings with ViaSat-3 capabilities in the near future, we expect our competitive position to strengthen further. Customer demand is growing for a diverse set of orbits and spectrum and the importance of avoiding
overdependence on single individual systems is an increasing issue for sovereignty and security. We continue to feel very good about Viasats runway of business growth opportunities. We remain a leading player in the satellite communications
industry. We have a very thorough understanding of the competitive environment and believe our technology and business model approach to global partnership & cooperation in space will be a very appealing option for a growing number of nations
and companies that want to sustain and contribute to a healthy space ecosystem. We are intent on achieving that while steadily demonstrating financial and strategic discipline and as we continue to actively evaluate alternatives to unlock value, we
are hyper focused on serving our customers, employees and shareholders. Sincerely, Mark Dankberg Shareholder Letter | Q3 Fiscal Year 2025 6

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information To supplement Viasats consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Viasat uses non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc., Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt, measures Viasat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Viasats past
financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat, Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are
not indicative of our core operating results. We believe Net Debt provides useful information to both management and investors in order to monitor our leverage (including our ability to service our debt and make capital expenditures) and evaluate
our consolidated balance sheet. A limitation associated with using Net Debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply there is less debt than the most comparable GAAP measure. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results
to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to Viasats historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the
primary indicators that management uses as a basis for evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not
meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables below. Copyright © 2025 Viasat,

As the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 financial information resulted in a
net loss, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as diluted shares would be anti-dilutive. However, as the non-GAAP financial information for
three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 resulted in non-GAAP net income, 131.3 million, 130.0 million, 126.0 million and 115.3 million, respectively,
diluted weighted average number of shares were used instead to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income per share. |

Awards exclude future revenue under recurring consumer commitment arrangements. |
