Gilat Satellite Networks (NASDAQ: GILT) reported Q4 EPS of $0.13, versus $0.16 reported last year. Revenue for the quarter came in at $80.3 million, versus $67.7 million reported last year.

"I am pleased to report Gilat's positive results in the fourth quarter and for full year 2016,” said Yona Ovadia, CEO of Gilat. "We made progress in our broadband and In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) growth engines and continued to invest in our technology leadership, while keeping profitability improvement as a high management priority. As a result, we achieved a profitable fourth quarter along with full-year Adjusted EBITDA within the range of our 2016 management objectives, despite ongoing headwinds in Latin America and a slowdown at the end of the year in our Peru project.

“In Q4, as part of our broadband strategy, we are pleased to have made progress also in affordable broadband to consumers, as we recently won Tricolor TV, the largest DTH (Direct-to-Home) provider in Russia, who plans to include our unique world’s first all outdoor Scorpio VSAT. In mobility, our technology continues to be chosen for In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) as reflected in our strategic partnership with Air Esurfing, an Air Media wholly owned subsidiary in China, to deliver broadband connectivity to airlines throughout China. We were also awarded a joint R&D project with Airbus for the development of a fully integrated Electronically Steerable Antenna (ESA) aero terminal based on our leading phased array technology.

“Our management objectives for 2017 are a continuation and acceleration of our achievements in 2016. Our objectives are for revenues between $280 to $300 million, GAAP operating income between $4 and $8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of between $20 and $24 million, which reflect a high management priority on profitability, in parallel with continued focus on our broadband and mobility growth engines, via maintaining product innovation and leadership.”
