fiff scal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Gogo service we provided on business aircraftff (which excludes service
provided on commercial aircraftff under the ATG Network Sharing Agreement) generated appr
oximately 71%, 75% and 78% of our
revenue frff om continuing operations, respectively. A signififf cant portion of such service revenue is generated through individual
subscription agreements with our customers that cover a single or small number of aircraftff , with the remainder generated through
subscription agreements with certain frff actional or charter operators covering larger flff eets of aircraftff . These agreements are generally
no more than one-year in duration. As such, we have no assurance that any of such customers will renew their existing agreements
with us upon expiration on comparabla e terms or at all, including as a result of a lack of demand or dissatisfaff ction with our services or
the availabia lity of superior or less expensive alternatives in the market. In addition, our subscription agreements are generally
terminabla e at will by our customers and, if terminated, we may not be abla e to collect amounts we would have otherwise expected to
receive during the fulff
l term of the agreement. To the extent that our subscribers terminate or faff il to renew their contracts with us forff
any reason, our business prospects, fiff nancial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affff eff cted.

a

Our subscription agreements do not generally contain minimum commitments forff

the usage of our connectivity and other

services. We have in the past, and may in the futff urt e, experience periods of reduced usage of our services by our customers or allow
customers to suspend their accounts, which could adversely impact our results of operations and profiff tabia lity. For example, we
experienced a sharpr decrease in flff ight activity, an increase in account suspensions and a decrease in new plan activities in mid-2020 as
a result of reduced travel demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue frff om equipment sales accounted forff

oximately 27%, 23% and 21% of our revenue frff om continuing operations forff
the fiff scal years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. More than 90% of our equipment revenue in each such fiff scal
year was generated frff om contracts with OEMs and aftff er-market dealers. Almost all of our contracts with OEMs and dealers are
terminabla e at will by either party on short notice. If one or more key OEMs or dealers terminates its relationship with us forff
any
reason or our contract expires and is not renewed, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affff eff cted. In
addition, pursuant to many of our contracts with our OEM distribution partners, we have agreed to deliver equipment and/or services,
or delays
a fiff xed price and, accordingly, take the risk of any cost overruns
including equipment and services not yet in production, forff
in the completion of the design and manufaff cturt
ing of the product. Certain of our contracts with our OEMs also include provisions that,
under specififf ed circumstances, entitle them to the benefiff t of certain more faff vorabla e provisions in other equipment contracts, including
with respect to pricing. These provisions, some of which have retroactive effff eff ct, may limit the benefiff ts we realize frff om contracts
containing such provisions. Our inabia lity to identifyff and offff eff r improved terms to a distribution partner or customer in accordance with
such a provision could negatively affff eff ct our relationship with that distribution partner or customer or give rise to a claim that we are in
breach of such contract.

r

Many of our distribution partners have also not committed to purchase any minimum quantity of our equipment. In certain

cases, we must anticipate the futff urt e volume of orders based upon non-binding production schedules provided by OEMs, historical
purchasing patterns and inforff mal discussions with customers and dealers as to their anticipated futff urt e requirements. Cancellations,
reductions or delays by OEMs and dealers may have a material adverse effff eff ct on our business, fiff nancial condition and results of
operations.

Concern over climate change, including the impact of global warming, has led to signififf cant U.S. and international legislative

ts to limit GHG emissions. Increasingly, state and local governments are also considering GHG regulatoryrr

and regulatoryrr effff orff
requirements. Increased regulation regarding GHG emissions, especially aircraftff emissions, could impose substantial costs on us. We
may also incur additional expenses as a result of U.S. and international regulators requiring additional disclosures regarding GHG
emissions. The adoption and implementation of new or more stringent international, feff deral, regional, state or local legislation,
regulations or other initiatives that impose more stringent standards forff GHG emissions may have a material adverse effff eff ct on our

Our abia lity to obtain additional fiff nancing forff working capia tal, capia tal expenditurt es, acquisitions, debt service requirements or

indebtedness, which indebtedness may be secured or unsecured, the incurrence of which may increase the risks created by our current

Indebtedness under the Facilities is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. Accordingly, if an event of defaff ult were
to occur under the 2021 Credit Agreement, to the extent amounts were outstanding under the Facilities, the lenders party to the 2021
Credit Agreement would have a prior right to our assets, to the exclusion of our general creditors in the event of our bankrupt

InII tett rnal Revenue CodeCC

As of December 31, 2022, we had appr

a

oximately $562 million in feff deral and $448 million in state net operating losses

(“NOLs”). The feff deral NOLs will begin to expire in 2032. The state NOLs expire in various tax years beginning in 2023. Under
Section 382 of the Code and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corpor
ation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is
generally defiff ned as an increase of more than 50% of the value of the Company’s stock owned by certain “5-percent shareholders,” as
such term is defiff ned in Section 382 of the Code, in its equity ownership over a rolling three-year period, the corpor
ation’s abia lity to
use its pre-change NOLs and other pre-change tax attributes to offff sff et its post-change income or taxes may be limited. To the extent
there becomes a new 5-percent shareholder, we may experience an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code, which may
result in the loss or impairment of some or all of our NOLs. The extent of any loss or impairment of our NOLs upon an ownership
change would depend on several faff ctors, including the naturt e of the NOLs, our stock price and extent of the ownership change.

In September 2020, our Board of Directors adopted a Section 382 Rights Agreement (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”),

t Company, N.A., as rights agent, and declared a dividend of one Right forff

es. The Rights Agreement may make it more

outstanding share of common stock of the Company outstanding on the record date of October 2, 2020, to the stockholders of record

In addition, although the Rights Agreement is intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change that could adversely
affff eff ct utilization of our NOLs, the Rights Agreement has been, and may be, ineffff eff ctive at deterring shareholders frff om becoming 5-
percent shareholders. For example, in September 2022 and December 2022, two institutt
ional shareholders inadvertently crossed the
4.9% benefiff cial ownership threshold. In both such circumstances, our Board of Directors, rather than allowing a distribution of Rights
to be triggered, determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to grant requests by such shareholders that they each be
deemed an “Exempt Person” under the Rights Agreement. Each exemption required that the shareholder satisfyff certain ownership
conditions intended to prevent an ownership change and protect our abia lity to utilize our NOLs. Moreover, pursuant to the terms of the
Rights Agreement, our Board of Directors may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to exempt certain transactions,
which could result in an ownership change, frff om triggering the Rights Agreement. Failure by an “Exempt Person” or other persons
exempt frff om certain transaction under the Rights Agreement to comply with the conditions forff
such exemptions could result in an
ownership change and result in the loss or impairment of some or all of our NOLs. If an ownership change occurs and our abia lity to
use our NOLs is materially limited, it would harm our futff urt e operating results by effff eff ctively increasing our futff urt e tax obligations.

The folff

lowing brieflff y describes certain key components of revenue and expenses as presented in our consolidated statements of

operations.

Revenue:

We generate two types of revenue: service revenue and equipment revenue.

Service revenue primarily consists of monthly subscription and usage feff es paid by aircraftff owners and operators forff
telecommunication, data, and in-flff ight entertainment services. Service revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the
customer. Beginning December 2020, service revenue includes revenue earned frff om the ATG Network Sharing Agreement with
Intelsat.

Equipment revenue primarily consists of proceeds frff om the sale of ATG and narrowband satellite connectivity equipment and is
recognized when control of the equipment is transfeff rred to OEMs and dealers, which generally occurs when the equipment is shipped.

CosCC t of Revenue:

Cost of service revenue consists of ATG network costs, satellite provider service costs, transaction costs and costs related to

network operations.

Cost of equipment revenue primarily consists of the costs of purchasing component parts used in the manufaff cturt e of our
equipment and the production, installation, technical support and quality assurance costs associated with the equipment sales.

EngiEE

neering, Designi

and Development ExEE pex nses:

Engineering, design and development expenses include the costs incurred to design and develop our technologies and products

and to obtain and maintain FAA and other regulatoryrr certififf cations. This includes the design, development and integration of our ATG
ground networks and airbor
ne line replaceabla e units, the design and development of products and enhancements thereto, and program
management activities. Engineering, design and development expenses also include costs associated with enhancements to existing
products.

r

Sales and MarMM krr ekk ting ExEE pex nses:

Sales and marketing expenses consist of costs associated with activities related to customer sales (including sales commissions),
digital marketing and lead generation, advertising and promotions, product management, trade shows and customer service support forff
end users.

General and Adminisii trative ExEE pex nses:

General and administrative expenses include personnel and related operating costs of the business support func

ff

tions, including

fiff nance and accounting, legal, human resources, administrative, inforff mation technology, faff cilities and executive groups.

Depre

eciation and Amortizii ation:

Depreciation expense includes expense associated with the depreciation of our network equipment, offff iff ce equipment and

furff niturt e, fiff xturt es and leasehold improvements, which is recorded over their estimated usefulff

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our fiff nancial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated fiff nancial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated fiff nancial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates,
assumptions and judgments that affff eff ct the reported amounts of assets, liabia lities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related exposures.
We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other faff ctors that we believe to be reasonabla e under the
circumstances. In some instances, we could reasonabla y use diffff eff rent accounting estimates, and in some instances actuat
l results could
diffff eff r signififf cantly frff om our estimates. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are
diffff eff rences between our estimates and actuat
operations and cash flff ows will be affff eff cted.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the valuation allowance related to our defeff rred income tax assets
have the greatest potential impact on and are the most critical to fulff
ly understanding and evaluating our reported fiff nancial results, and
that they require our most diffff iff cult, subjective or complex judgments. For a discussion of our signififf cant accounting policies to which
many of these critical estimates relate, see Note 2, “Summaryrr of Signififf cant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated fiff nancial
statements.

Note that these critical accounting estimates relate solely to our continuing operations. The accounting policies related to our

discontinued operations are discussed in Note 20, “Discontinued Operations,” to our consolidated fiff nancial statements.

Defe eff rred IncII ome TaxTT es - ValVV uation Allowance:

We account forff

the valuation allowance on our defeff rred income tax assets in accordance with Accounting Standards

Codififf cation Topic 740, IncII ome TaxTT es (“ASC 740”).

On a recurring basis, we assess the need forff

a valuation allowance related to our defeff rred income tax assets, which includes

consideration of both positive and negative evidence to determine, based on the weight of the availabla e evidence, whether it is more
likely than not that some or all of our defeff rred tax assets will not be realized. In our assessment, we consider recent fiff nancial operating
results, the scheduled expiration of our net operating losses, potential sources of taxabla e income, the reversal of existing taxabla e
diffff eff rences, taxabla e income in prior carryba
of fiff nancial reporting losses, primarily driven by our divested CA business, resulting in cumulative pre-tax losses in the three-year
period ending with the current quarter which is objectively verififf abla e negative evidence regarding futff urt e profiff tabia lity. Cumulative pre-
tax losses frff om continuing operations adjusted forff
of the 2022 Convertible Notes (as defiff ned below) result in positive normalized income over the same three-year period. This is

this assessment. In such cases, we use systematic and logical methods to estimate when defeff rred tax assets
our historical earnings forff
will reverse and generate tax deductions. The selection of methodologies and assessment of when temporaryrr diffff eff rences will result in
deductible amounts involves signififf cant management judgment and is inherently complex and subjective. Our determination that we
are more likely than not to realize a portion of our defeff rred tax assets represents our best estimate and considers both positive and
negative faff ctors. We considered positive faff ctors including the sale of our CA business, the reduction in interest expense resulting frff om

frff om continuing operations in the fiff scal year ended December 31, 2022 and the third and four

faff ctors included cumulative pre-tax losses frff om continuing operations in the three-year period ending with the current quarter and our
relatively short historyrr of pre-tax income frff om continuing operations. It is possible that there will be changes in our business, our
perforff mance, our industryrr or otherwise that cause actuat

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the abia lity of GIH and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness.

Further, market conditions and/or our fiff nancial perforff mance may limit our access to additional sources of equity or debt fiff nancing, or
our abia lity to pursue potential strategic alternatives. As a result, we may be unabla e to fiff nance the growth of our business to the extent

each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively refeff rred to as the "fiff nancial
statements"). In our opinion, the fiff nancial statements present faff irly, in all material respects, the fiff nancial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flff ows forff
each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2022, in conforff mity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria establa ished in IntII ernal ContCC rol —

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated

((

Basis forff Opinion

These fiff nancial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company's fiff nancial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting fiff rm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
icabla e rulrr es and regulations of
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. feff deral securities laws and the appl
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

a

a

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perforff m the audit
to obtain reasonabla e assurance about
whether the fiff nancial statements are frff ee of material misstatement, whether due to error or frff aud.
Our audits included perforff ming procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the fiff nancial statements, whether due to error
or frff aud, and perforff ming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the fiff nancial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
signififf cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fiff nancial statements. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonabla e basis forff

our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising frff om the current-period audit of the fiff nancial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the fiff nancial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the fiff nancial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which it relates.

assets to determine, based on the weight of the availabla e positive and negative evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some
or all of such defeff rred assets will not be realized. The Company’s assessment considers recent fiff nancial operating results, the
scheduled expiration of its net operating losses, potential sources of taxabla e income, the reversal of existing taxabla e diffff eff rences,

We evaluated the reasonabla eness of the methods, assumptions, and judgments used by management to determine whether

We evaluated whether the sources of management’s estimated taxabla e income were of the appr

the business aviation market.

ATG by launching the fiff rst global broadband service designed forff
business aviation (“Global Broadband”). The service will use an

commercial agreements include an ATG network sharing agreement with a 10-year term, pursuant to which we provide certain in-

operations separately frff om continuing operations to distinguish the fiff nancial impact of disposal transactions frff om ongoing operations.
Discontinued operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component or a group of components (i) meets the held-forff

2. Summary of Signififf cant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany

transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, we historically reported our results of operations in three segments: Commercial
Aviation-North America (“CA-NA”), Commercial Aviation-Rest of World (“CA-ROW”) and Business Aviation. We managed and
reported these businesses separately, as they generally did not share the same customer base, had diffff eff rent products, pricing and
expense strucrr
operate in a single distinct business segment, Business Aviation, forff which operating perforff mance is measured and resources are
allocated on a consolidated basis, consistent with the fiff nancial inforff mation regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker,
our CEO. Thereforff e, we now report one business segment, comprised of our continuing operations. As we do not have multiple
segments, we do not present segment inforff mation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the significant estimates and bases

such estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However,
actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties - Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation

those associated with fluctuations in operating results, implementation of our technology roadmap, strategic alliances, relationships
with customers, suppliers and dealers, supply chain disruptions, funding of our growth, financing terms that may restrict operations,
regulatory issues, competition, the economy, technology trends, evolving industry standards and other events that may impact the
demand for air travel.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments - We consider cash and cash equivalents to be short-term, highly liquid
investments that have the following characteristics: readily convertible to known amounts of cash, so near their maturities that there is
insignificant risk of changes in value due to any changes in market interest rates, and having maturities of three months or less when
purchased. We continually monitor positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which we invest. The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair market value of these assets.

We consider short-term investments to be investments with maturities of twelve months or less (but greater than three months).

Restricted Cash - Certain cash amounts are restricted as to use and are classified outside of cash and cash equivalents. Cash
amounts with restrictions of twelve months or less are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and amounts restricted for
greater than twelve months are included in Other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

ur restricted cash balances were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and consisted

primarily of a letter of credit issued forff

Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist

principally of cash and cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are invested with creditworthy financial institutions.

Our revenue frff om customers domiciled outside of the United States accounted forff

less than 10% of our total revenue forff
years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Our long-lived assets outside of the United States were less than 10% of our
consolidated long-lived assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

the

Income Tax - We use an asset- and liability-based approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recorded for tax attributes and are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities, applying enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the tax differences are expected to reverse. We regularly
assess the need forff
a valuation allowance related to our defeff rred income tax assets to determine, based on the weight of the availabla e
positive and negative evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of such defeff rred assets will not be realized. We also
consider the existence of any uncertain tax positions and, as necessary, provide a reserve for any uncertain tax positions at each
reporting date.

See Note 15, “Income Tax,” for further details.

Inventories - Inventories consist primarily of telecommunications systems and parts and are recorded at the lower of average

cost or net realizable value. We evaluate the need for write-downs associated with obsolete, slow-moving and nonsalable inventory by
reviewing net realizable inventory values on a periodic basis.

See Note 5, “Inventories,” for further details.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation - Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at

historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Network asset inventory and construction in progress, which include materials,
transmission and related equipment, interest and other costs relating to the construction and development of our network, are not
depreciated until they are put into service. Network equipment consists of switching equipment, antennas, base transceiver stations,
site preparation costs, and other related equipment used in the operation of our network. Depreciation expense totaled $7.9 million for
each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets, which are as follows:

Offff iff ce equipment, furff niturt e, fiff xturt es and other
Leasehold improvements
Network equipment

3-5 years
7-13 years
5-25 years

See Note 6, “Composition of Certain Balance Sheet Accounts,” for further details.

Improvements to leased property are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related

lease. We reassess the useful lives of leasehold improvements when there are changes to the terms of the underlying lease. Such
reassessment has resulted in the useful life of specific assets being adjusted to a shorter period than originally estimated, resulting in
an increase in annual depreciation expense for those assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

63

Software Development Costs - We capitalize costs for network and non-network software developed or obtained for internal

use during the application development stage. These costs include purchased software and direct costs associated with the
development and configuration of internal use software that supports the operation of our service offerings. These costs are included in
Intangible assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets and, when the software is placed in service, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs incurred in the preliminary project and post-implementation stages, as well as
maintenance and training costs, are expensed as incurred.

With respect to software sold as part of our equipment sales, we capitalize software development costs once technological
feasibility has been established. Such capitalized software costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis over the remaining
estimated economic life of the product, based on the greater of the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of
current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or the straight-line method.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or

whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Our FCC Licenses, as defiff ned in
Note 8, “Intangible Assets,” are our only material indefinite-lived intangible assets. We perform our annual impairment test of our
FCC Licenses during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. We assess qualitative faff ctors to determine the likelihood of impairment.
Our qualitative analysis includes, but is not limited to, assessing the changes in macroeconomic conditions, regulatoryrr environment,
industryrr and market conditions, fiff nancial perforff mance versus budget and any other events or circumstances specififf c to the FCC
Licenses. If it is more likely than not that the faff ir value of the FCC Licenses is greater than the carryirr ng value, no furff
required. If our qualitative analysis indicates more testing is required, or if we elect not to perforff m a qualitative analysis, we will appl
the quantitative impairment test method.

ther testing is
a

y

Our quantitative impairment testing of the FCC Licenses uses the Greenfield method, an income-based approach. When
performing this quantitative impairment testing, we estimate the value of our FCC spectrum licenses by calculating the present value
of the cash flows of a hypothetical new market participant whose only assets are such licenses to determine the fair value of the FCC
licenses. The estimate takes into account all costs and expenses necessary to build the Company’s infrastructure during the start-up
period, projected revenue, and cash flows once the infrastructure is completed. Since there is limited corroborating data available in
the marketplace that would demonstrate a market participant’s experience in establishing an “air-to-ground” business, we utilize our
historic results and future projections as the underlying basis for the application of the Greenfield method. We follow the traditional
discounted cash flow method, calculating the present value of a new market participant’s estimated debt free cash flows, based on our
historical weighted average cost of capital, adjusted to reflect the cost of capital for a new market participant.

Although we believe our projected future operating results and cash flows and related estimates regarding fair values are based

on reasonable assumptions, projected operating results and cash flows may not always be achieved. The failure to achieve one or more
of our assumptions regarding projected operating results and cash flows in the near term or long term could reduce the estimated fair
value below carrying value and result in the recognition of an impairment charge. The results of our annual indefinite-lived intangible
asset impairment assessments for 2022, 2021 and 2020 indicated no impairment.

Intangible assets that are deemed to have a finite life are amortized over their useful lives as follows:

Softff ware
OEM and dealer relationships
Service customer relationships
Other intangible assets

3-8 years
10 years
5-7 years
8 years

See Note 8, “Intangible Assets,” for further details.

Long-Lived Assets - We review our long-lived assets to determine potential impairment whenever events indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We do this by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. If we
determine an impairment exists, the asset is written down to estimated fair value. There were no impairments of long-lived assets in
2022, 2021 or 2020.

Revenue Recognition - Our revenue is primarily earned frff om providing connectivity and entertainment services and through

sales of equipment.

We account forff

revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codififf cation Topic 606, Revenue frff om ContCC rt actstt with

CusCC tomersrr (“ASC 606”). We determine revenue recognition through the folff

lowing steps:

•

•

•

•

Identififf cation of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

Identififf cation of the perforff mance obligations in the contract;

Determination of the transaction price;

Allocation of the transaction price to the perforff mance obligations in the contract; and

64

•

Recognition of revenue as we satisfyff

the perforff mance obligations.

Service revenue primarily consists of monthly subscription and usage feff es paid by aircraftff owners and operators forff

telecommunication, data, and in-flff ight entertainment services and is recognized as the services are provided to the customer.

Equipment revenue primarily consists of proceeds frff om the sale of ATG and narrowband satellite connectivity equipment and is
recognized when control of the equipment is transfeff rred to OEMs and dealers, which generally occurs when the equipment is shipped.

In all cases, we evaluate whether a contract exists as it relates to collectabia lity of the contract. Once a contract is deemed to

exist, we evaluate the transaction price and deliverabla es under the contract.

A limited number of contracts contain multiple equipment and service deliverabla es. For these contracts, we account forff
distinct good or service as a separate perforff mance obligation. We allocate the contract’s transaction price to each perforff mance
obligation using the relative standalone selling price, which is based on the actuat
to a similar class of customer.

Research and Development Costs - Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred and totaled

$29.6 million, $24.9 million and $25.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and
development costs are reported as engineering, design and development expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Warranty - We provide warranties on parts and labor related to our products. Our warranty terms range from two to five years.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are estimated to be incurred after the sale, delivery and installation of the products
under warranty. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience and other available
evidence, and are included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 7, “Composition of Certain Reserves and Allowances,” for the details of the changes in our warranty reserve.

Asset Retirement Obligations - We have certain asset retirement obligations related to contractual commitments to remove our

network equipment and other assets from leased cell sites upon termination of the site leases. The asset retirement obligations are
classified as a noncurrent liability in our consolidated balance sheets.

See Note 6, “Composition of Certain Balance Sheet Accounts,” for the details of the changes in our asset retirement obligations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - We group financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into three
levels of hierarchy based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to
determine fair value.

See Note 13, “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities,” for further information.

Derivatives - We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variabla e rate borrowings. We currently use interest rate capsa

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share using the weighted-average number of common

shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share using the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.

See Note 3, “Earnings (Loss) Per Share,” for further information.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense - Compensation cost is measured and recognized at fair value for all stock-based

payments, including stock options. For time-based vesting stock options, we estimate fair value using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing model, which requires assumptions, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividends. Forfeitures
are recognized when they occur. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock are measured based on the fair market value of
the underlying stock on the date of grant. For awards with a market condition (which we have used on a limited basis), we estimate
fair value using the Monte Carlo Simulation model, which requires assumptions, such as volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life
and dividends. Our stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period and is included in the same
operating expense line items in the consolidated statements of operations as the base cash compensation paid to the underlying
employees.

See Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation and 401(k) Plan,” for further information.

65

Leases – We account for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).

We have operating lease agreements forff which we have recorded lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for leases primarily
related to cell sites and office buildings. We determine whether a contract contains a lease at contract inception and calculate the lease
liabia lity and right-of-ff use asset using our incremental borrowing rate. Our cell site leases generally have terms of fiff ve to ten years, with
renewal options forff
an additional fiff ve to 25 years. For certain cell sites, the renewal options are deemed to be reasonabla y certain to be
an additional fiff ve years. We recognize
exercised. Our building leases have original terms of ten years, with renewal options forff
operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have fiff nance leases forff
computer and offff iff ce equipment.
Covenants within the Term Loan Facility contain certain restrictions on our abia lity to enter into new fiff nance lease arrangements.

See Note 16, “Leases,” for further information.

Advertising Costs - Costs for advertising are expensed as incurred.

Debt Issuance Costs - We defer loan origination fees and financing costs related to our various debt offerings as deferred
financing costs. Additionally, we defer fees paid directly to the lenders related to amendments of our various debt offerings as deferred
financing costs. We amortize these costs over the term of the underlying debt obligation using the effective interest method and
include them in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The fees incurred but not paid directly to the lenders in
connection with amendments are expensed as incurred to interest expense. Deferred financing costs associated with future debt
issuances are written off in the period during which we determine that the debt will no longer be issued.

See Note 9, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabilities,” for further information.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is net income plus

or minus unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges.
Comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 is net loss plus unrealized gains on foreign currency translation
adjustments.

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares

outstanding forff

the period.

The shares of common stock effff eff ctively repurchased in connection with the Forward Transactions (as defiff ned and described in

Note 9, “Long-Term Debt and Other Liabia lities”) are considered participating securities requiring the two-class method to calculate
basic and diluted earnings per share. Net earnings will be allocated between shares of common stock and participating securities on a
one-to-one basis. In periods of a net loss, the shares associated with the Forward Transactions will not receive an allocation of losses,

and convertible notes when the computation is anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the weighted average
number of shares excluded frff om the computation was 0.5 million and 5.7 million shares, respectively. As a result of the net loss forff
the year ended December 31, 2020, all of the outstanding shares of common stock underlying stock options, defeff rred stock units,
restricted stock units and convertible notes were excluded frff om the computation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-

stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. No shares of this new prefeff rred stock have been issued. The prefeff rred stock may be issued,
frff om time to time, in one or more series as authorized by the Board of Directors, which has the authority to designate the terms of any
series of prefeff rred stock issued, including, without limitation, the number of shares to be included in such series of prefeff rred stock,
any dividend, redemption, conversion rights or voting powers and the designations, prefeff rences and relative participating, optional or
other special rights.

Shareholder Rights Plan – On September 23, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted a Section 382 Rights Agreement (as

amended, the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights
Agent”), and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the
Company, outstanding on the record date of October 2, 2020, to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of $38.40 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented by a Right,
subject to adjustment. In December 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement with the Rights
Agent, which, among other things, changed the Distribution Date (as defiff ned below) frff om the close of business on the tenth to the
thirtieth day aftff er the Stock Acquisition Date (as defiff ned in the Rights Agreement), with certain exceptions.

76

The purpose of the Rights Agreement is to facilitate the Company’s ability to preserve its net operating losses (“NOLs”) and

certain other tax attributes in order to be able to offset potential future income taxes for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s
ability to use its NOLs and other tax attributes would be substantially limited if it experiences an “ownership change,” as such term is
defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A company generally experiences an
ownership change if the percentage of the value of its stock owned by certain “5-percent shareholders,” as such term is defined in
Section 382 of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The Rights Agreement is
intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code by deterring any person or group from
acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the shares of the Company’s common stock then-outstanding.

The Rights are attached to all shares of the Company’s common stock, and until the Distribution Date (as defined below), the

Rights will be transferred with and only with the common stock. As long as the Rights are attached to the common stock, the
Company will issue one Right with each new share of common stock so that all such shares of common stock will have Rights
attached (subject to certain limited exceptions). The Rights will separate and begin trading separately from the common stock, and
Right certificates will be caused to evidence the Rights, on the earlier to occur of (i) the close of business on the thirtieth day
following public disclosure of facts indicating that a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the
outstanding common stock (an “Acquiring Person”) (or, in the event the Board of Directors determines to effect an exchange in
accordance with Section 24 of the Rights Agreement and the Board of Directors determines that a later date is advisable, then such
later date) and (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of
Directors prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange
offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 4.9% or more of the outstanding
common stock (the earlier of such dates, the “Distribution Date”).

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which

the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that (x) the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of
material valuable NOLs or tax attributes or (y) the NOLs and tax attributes have been fully utilized and may no longer be carried
forward and (ii) the close of business on September 23, 2023. The Rights Agreement was approved by the Company's stockholders at
the Company's 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

A three-tier faff ir value hierarchy has been establa ished which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring faff ir value. These tiers

include:

•

•

•

Level 1 - defiff ned as observabla e inputs such as quoted prices forff

identical assets or liabia lities in active markets;

Level 2 - defiff ned as observabla e inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices forff
quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observabla e or can be corroborated by observabla e market data
forff

l term of the assets or liabia lities; and

similar assets or liabia lities,

Level 3 - defiff ned as unobservabla e inputs in which little or no market data exists, thereforff e requiring an entity to develop its

sheets, excluding any issuance costs, are the amount that a market participant would be willing to lend at such date to an entity with a

We regularly assess the need forff

a valuation allowance related to our defeff rred income tax assets to determine, based on the

weight of the availabla e positive and negative evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of such defeff rred assets will
not be realized. In our assessments, the Company considers recent fiff nancial operating results, the scheduled expiration of our net
operating losses, potential sources of taxabla e income, the reversal of existing taxabla e diffff eff rences, taxabla e income in prior carryba
years, if permitted under tax law, and tax planning strategies. Based on our most recent assessment, forff
the portion of our defeff rred income tax assets that we are more likely

the prior three years of pre-tax income frff om continuing operations, adjusted forff
Refiff nancing and the settlement of the 2022 Convertible Notes. This estimate of futff urt e income, along with our assessment of the other
positive and negative evidence considered, supports the release of a portion of the valuation allowance. The remaining valuation
allowance is still required forff
defeff rred tax assets related to certain state and forff eign NOLs, capia tal losses, and the Section 163(j(( )

The folff

lowing discussion relates entirely to discontinued operations.

Gain on Sale – Upon the closing of the Transaction on December 1, 2020, we received initial gross proceeds of $386.3 million,

cash, debt, transaction expenses and working capia tal. The fiff nal purchase

which reflff ects the $400.0 million purchase price, adjusted forff
price was subject to change due to customaryrr post-closing purchase price adjustment procedures set forff
agreement between Gogo and Intelsat, that were not yet complete. As the post-closing purchase price adjustment was not yet fiff nalized
and thereforff e represented a contingent gain, $9.4 million was recorded as a defeff rred gain on sale included within Accruer d liabia lities as
of December 31, 2020. During December 2020, we recognized within Gain on sale of CA business a pretax gain on sale of $38.0
million, computed as the $386.3 million of initial gross proceeds less (i) the potential $9.4 million post-closing purchase price
adjustment not yet fiff nalized, (ii) the carryirr ng value of the assets and liabia lities transfeff rred in the Transaction and (iii) Transaction-
related costs. In October 2021, the independent accounting fiff rm engaged to resolve a dispute between the parties regarding the
working capia tal matter determined the fiff nal amount of the working capia tal adjustments to be $7.8 million. In the four

Stock-Based Compensation – In August 2020, the Compensation Committee appr

a

oved modififf cations to the vesting conditions

and exercise periods of outstanding equity compensation awards held by certain of our then-current employees who became
employees of Intelsat in the Transaction. These modififf cations became effff eff ctive upu on the consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant
to such modififf cations, the options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) held by Intelsat employees generally vested on the earlier of (i)
the original vesting date and (ii) December 1, 2021; provided that the employee did not voluntarily resign frff om and was not terminated
forff
cause by Intelsat prior to such date. Certain of these awards vested based on conditions that are not classififf ed as a service, market

Arrangements with Commercial Airlines – For our divested CA business, pursuant to contractuat

partners, we placed our equipment on commercial aircraftff operated by the airlines in order to deliver our service to passengers on the
aircraftff . We had two types of commercial airline arrangements: turt nkey and airline-directed. Under the airline-directed model, we
transfeff rred control of the equipment to the airline and thereforff e the airline was our customer in these transactions. Under the turt nkey
model, we had not transfeff rred control of our equipment to our airline partner and, as a result, the airline passenger was deemed to be
our customer. Transactions with our airline partners under the turt nkey model were accounted forff
as an operating lease of space on an
aircraftff .

We recognized $71.2 million forff

the year ended December 31, 2020 as a reduction to our cost of service revenue frff om the

amortization of defeff rred airbor

Under the turt nkey model, the revenue share paid to our airline partners represented operating lease payments. These payments

were deemed to be contingent rental payments as the payments due to each airline were based on a percentage of our CA service
revenue generated frff om that airline’s passengers, which was unknown until realized. Thereforff e, we estimated the lease payments due
to an airline at the commencement of our contract with such airline. This rental expense is included in cost of service revenue and is
partially offff sff et by the amortization of the defeff rred airbor

Revenue Recognition

We account forff

revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codififf cation Topic 606, Revenue frff om ContCC rt actstt with

CusCC tomersrr (“ASC 606”).

CA’s airline-directed contracts contain multiple perforff mance obligations, which primarily include the sale of equipment,

installation services, connectivity services and entertainment services. For these contracts, we accounted forff

each distinct good or

89

service as a separate perforff mance obligation. We allocated the contract’s transaction price to each perforff mance obligation using the
relative standalone selling price, which was based on the actuat
any good or service sold separately to a similar class
of customer, if availabla e. To the extent a good or service was not sold separately, we used our best estimate of the standalone selling
price and maximized the use of observabla e inputs. The primaryrr method we used to estimate the standalone selling price was the
expected cost-plus margin appr

l selling price forff

oach.

a

The contractuat

es includes connectivity and entertainment services, which may be
based on a fiff xed monthly feff e per aircraftff or a variabla e feff e based on the volume of connectivity activity, or a combination of both.
Examples of variabla e consideration within CA’s airline contracts include megabyt

e overages and pay-per-use sessions.

l consideration used forff

allocation purpos

a

r

We constrained our estimates to reduce the probabia lity of a signififf cant revenue reversal in futff urt e periods, allocated variabla e
consideration to the identififf ed perforff mance obligations and recognized revenue in the period the services were provided. Our estimates
were based on historical experience, anticipated futff urt e perforff mance, market conditions and our best judgment at the time. For 2020,
our estimates included management’s best assumptions forff
gross passenger opportuni

the continued impact of COVID-19, which included decreased flff ights and

ty (“GPO”).

t

A signififf cant change in one or more of these estimates could have affff eff cted estimated contract value. For example, estimates of

variabla e revenue within certain contracts required estimation of the number of sessions or megabyt
es that would be purchased over the
contract term and the average revenue per connectivity session, which varies based on the connectivity options availabla e to passengers
on each airline. Estimated revenue under these contracts anticipated increases in take rates over time and assumed an average revenue
per session consistent with our historical experience.

a

We regularly reviewed and updated our estimates, especially in light of COVID-19, and recognized adjustments under the

cumulative catch-up method. Any adjustments under this method were recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period identififf ed
and revenue forff

futff urt e periods was recognized using the new adjusted estimate.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Offff iff cer and the Chief Financial Offff iff cer, evaluated the effff eff ctiveness
of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defiff ned in RulRR es 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2022 that are designed to provide reasonabla e assurance that
inforff mation required to be disclosed in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods.
Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Offff iff cer and the Chief Financial Offff iff cer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effff eff ctive as of December 31, 2022.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Gogo Inc. is responsible forff

establa ishing and maintaining adequate internal control over fiff nancial reporting

as defiff ned in RulRR es 13a – 15(f)ff and 15d – 15(f)ff under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Gogo’s internal control over fiff nancial
reporting is designed to provide reasonabla e assurance regarding the reliabia lity of fiff nancial reporting and the preparation and faff ir
presentation of its published fiff nancial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

The management of Gogo, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Offff iff cer and Chief Financial Offff iff cer, have
assessed the effff eff ctiveness of Gogo’s internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria set forff
th
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on our assessment, the Company’s management concluded that our internal control over fiff nancial reporting was
effff eff ctive as of December 31, 2022.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting fiff rm, has issued an attestation report on our

internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022, which report is included on Page 92 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K under the capta ion entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fiff nancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the effff eff ctiveness to futff urt e periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes to our internal control over fiff nancial reporting in connection with the evaluation required

by RulRR es 13a-15(f)ff and 15d-15(f)ff under the Exchange Act during the most recent fiff scal quarter that have materially affff eff cted, or are
