The group explained that this termination follows the malfunction of RSCC's Express AT1 satellite located at 56° East and the scheduled repositioning of the Express AT2 satellite from its current position at 140° East.

Eutelsat noted that it had entered into contracts with RSCC for capacity provided by these satellites to complement the coverage provided by its own Eutelsat 36C and 36D satellites positioned at 36° East.

This termination will have a limited impact on the group's revenue, in the low single-digit millions range, and will have virtually no impact on EBITDA for the 2025-26 fiscal year. It does not call into question any of the components of its financial targets.
