  • Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. ​ Overview ​ Recent Developments ​ FCC Review ​ In the third quarter of 2025, we resolved the review by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) into EchoStar’s compliance with its build-out milestones and other obligations regarding EchoStar’s federal spectrum licenses.
  • We had previously received a letter from the FCC on May 9, 2025, indicating that the FCC was beginning a review of our compliance with certain obligations to provide 5G broadband service and raising certain questions regarding the September 2024 build-out extension granted by the FCC and mobile-satellite service (“MSS”) utilization in the 2 GHz band (the “May 9 Letter”).
  • We responded to the FCC’s subsequent public notices with filings on May 27, 2025 and June 6, 2025. ​ During the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter of 2025, the potential ramifications of the FCC review to our business required us to, among other things, reevaluate the deployment of our resources and as a result, we elected not to make interest payments on a certain portion of our long-term senior notes on their respective scheduled due dates.
  • We subsequently made such payments, including interest on the defaulted interest, within the applicable 30 -day grace periods.
  • See Note 10 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. ​ The FCC review introduced the possibility of reversing prior FCC grants of authority to us.
  • The FCC made it clear that it viewed our spectrum as being underutilized and deemed our continued ownership of such spectrum licenses inconsistent with the public interest, and that we must sell a material amount of spectrum licenses or face a wide-ranging license revocation.
  • Accordingly, as a result of these unforeseeable actions by the FCC that were outside of our control, we entered into the AT&T Transactions and SpaceX Transactions, as defined below, whereby we agreed to sell a material amount of our spectrum licenses for cash and an Amended Equity Amount, as defined below.
  • In August 2025, following these transactions, we began the abandonment and decommission process for certain portions of our 5G Network that will not be utilized in our Hybrid MNO business, as defined in “ Segments-Wireless ” below.
  • Furthermore, we believe the FCC’s actions and the resulting AT&T Transactions and SpaceX Transactions constitute one or more force majeure events under certain of our 5G Network-related contracts. ​ On September 8, 2025, we received a follow-up letter from the FCC (the “September 8 Letter”).
  • The September 8 Letter states, among other things, that FCC Chairman Carr has “asked FCC staff to bring the agency’s investigation to conclusion” by directing FCC staff to: “(1) dismiss VTel Wireless’s petition for reconsideration; (2) confirm that EchoStar holds exclusive terrestrial and MSS rights over the AWS-4 spectrum to which it is currently licensed; and (3) find that relevant FCC buildout and other related obligations have been satisfied by EchoStar in view of the company’s current FCC milestones.” ​ AT&T License Purchase Agreement ​ On August 25, 2025, we and AT&T Mobility II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and subsidiary of AT&T Inc.
  • (“AT&T”) entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “AT&T License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “AT&T Transactions”). ​ Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the AT&T License Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to sell all our 3.45–3.55 GHz and 600 MHz spectrum licenses, including licenses exchanged as part of the Omega License Purchase Agreement, as defined and detailed in Note 15 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K , (collectively, the “3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses”), and to a 99-year extension of existing leases for AT&T’s exclusive use of certain wireless spectrum licenses in Hawaii for an aggregate purchase price of $22.650 billion in cash, subject to certain potential adjustments (the “Closing Purchase Price”).
  • The AT&T License Purchase Agreement also extends to AT&T the right to lease certain 3.45 GHz licenses from us, which AT&T exercised, subject to a short-term spectrum manager lease, at the end of the third quarter of 2025. ​ The Closing Purchase Price is subject to downward adjustment in the event certain 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses are ultimately excluded by either us or AT&T under certain circumstances.
  • We are not obligated to consummate the AT&T Transactions if the Closing Purchase Price, after giving effect to the aggregate amount of any such adjustments, is less than $ 18.6 billion (the “Minimum Purchase Price”).
  • However, if the aggregate amount of such reductions would otherwise reduce the Closing Purchase Price below the Minimum Purchase Price, AT&T may elect to pay the Minimum Purchase Price at closing, in which case this condition will be deemed satisfied. ​ The AT&T License Purchase Agreement provides that, at the closing of the AT&T Transactions, any amounts outstanding under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 26, 2021, between DISH DBS as lender and DISH Network will be repaid in full using proceeds from the AT&T Transactions to the respective holders of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan (the “DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan Payoff”).
  • The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan Payoff includes $ 2.844 billion due to DISH DBS as of December 31, 2025 for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche.
  • The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan is secured by the 3.45 GHz Licenses and certain other wireless spectrum licenses.
  • See Note 10 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for definitions and further information. ​ In addition, all outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2027 issued pursuant to that certain Secured Indenture, dated November 15, 2022 (“DISH Secured Indenture”), by and among DISH Network Corporation, the Guarantors identified therein, and U.S.
  • Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, will be redeemed concurrently with the closing in accordance with the terms of the DISH Secured Indenture (the “Redemption”).
  • As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2027 was $ 3.5 billion and is secured by the 600 MHz Licenses. ​ The AT&T Transactions are subject to a number of terms and conditions set forth in the AT&T License Purchase Agreement.
  • The completion of the AT&T Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, certain government approvals, including, among other things, receipt of certain consents and approvals from the FCC and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”).
  • The AT&T License Purchase Agreement also provides for specified termination rights by each party in certain circumstances.
  • The closing is expected to occur in the first half of 2026. ​ ​ The description of the AT&T License Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the License Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. ​ Amendments to the Network Services Agreement ​ Simultaneously with the execution of the AT&T License Purchase Agreement, DISH Wireless L.L.C., our subsidiary and AT&T Mobility LLC, a subsidiary of AT&T, entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) and the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Network Services Agreement dated as of July 14, 2021 by and among DISH Wireless L.L.C. and AT&T Mobility LLC (as amended, the “NSA”). ​ The Sixth Amendment sets forth new terms including reduced rates if we meet certain minimum data thresholds while transitioning to a Hybrid MNO.
  • Under a Hybrid MNO, we operate certain portions of the network infrastructure such as the network core and billing and provisioning software, while our network partner, AT&T, provides certain elements including base stations, radios, radio access network (RAN) software and spectrum frequencies.
  • We were not obligated to transition to a Hybrid MNO or meet the specified data thresholds, but were not entitled to the terms of the Sixth Amendment unless we met such thresholds.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2025, we gave notice to AT&T that we had met such thresholds, triggering the Sixth Amendment rates and AT&T agreed to provide these services to us through December 31, 2031. ​ During the term of the Sixth Amendment, we have the option to extend the Sixth Amendment up to two times for additional extension terms of 2 -years each, until either December 31, 2033 or December 31, 2035 (each an “Extension Term”).
  • The Fifth and Sixth Amendments, in addition to any Extension Term we exercise, also contain certain minimum purchase commitments. ​ SpaceX License Purchase Agreement ​ On September 7, 2025, we, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., a Texas corporation (“SpaceX”), and Spectrum Business Trust 2025-1, a Nevada Business Trust (“Trust”), entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “SpaceX License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Initial SpaceX Transactions”). ​ Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell to SpaceX our rights and licenses related to an aggregate of 50 MHz of spectrum in frequency ranges 2000–2020, 2180–2200, 1915–1920 and 1995– 2000 (the “ AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses” and such spectrum, “the Spectrum”) granted by the FCC, together with certain international authorizations, filings, concessions, licenses, rights and priorities related to that spectrum and certain assets associated therewith (collectively, the “Foreign Assets”). ​ The transfer of the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses will occur in two steps: first, the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses will be transferred by us to the Trust (the “Spectrum Transfer Closing”), and second, the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses will be transferred by the Trust to SpaceX (the “Spectrum Acquisition Closing”).
  • The Foreign Assets will be transferred directly to SpaceX at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing, to the extent the required regulatory approvals have been obtained by such date; provided, however, that the failure to obtain such approvals will not delay or prevent the Spectrum Acquisition Closing. ​ ​ ​ The consideration for the Initial SpaceX Transactions payable at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing is $17 billion (the “Total Consideration Amount”).
  • A portion of the Total Consideration Amount (such amount, the “Total Payoff Consideration Amount”) will be used to: (i) fully pay off all outstanding amounts owed on the 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “ 10 3/4% Secured Notes”) and the 6 3/4% Senior Secured due 2030 (the “ 6 3/4% Secured Notes”) and (ii) settle the anticipated redemption and conversions of the 3 7/8% Convertible Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes due 2030” and, together with the 10 3/4% Secured Notes and the 6 3/4% Secured Notes, the “Seller Notes”).
  • The remaining amount after paying off the Seller Notes (the “Purchase Price”) will be paid by SpaceX to us as follows: (i) up to $ 8.5 billion will be paid in SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock, valued at $ 212 per share (the “Equity Amount”); and (ii) any amount of the Purchase Price exceeding $ 8.5 billion will be paid in cash.
  • If the Total Payoff Consideration Amount exceeds $ 8.5 billion, we may elect to pay the excess in cash, our Class A Common Stock (with respect to the Convertible Notes due 2030), or both, to maintain our receipt of the full Equity Amount.
  • However, if we elect not to pay such excess amount, the Equity Amount will be reduced dollar-for-dollar to ensure that the combined Equity Amount and Total Payoff Consideration Amount do not exceed the Total Consideration Amount.
  • As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Seller Notes was $ 9.821 billion and is secured by the AWS-4 and AWS-3 Licenses. ​ The Spectrum Transfer Closing is expected to occur in the first half of 2026.
  • The Spectrum Acquisition Closing is expected to occur on or about November 30, 2027, following the expiration of the make-whole period for the Seller Notes and the date on which the Convertible Notes due 2030 become eligible for redemption.
  • If SpaceX elects to proceed with the Spectrum Acquisition Closing prior to November 30, 2027, SpaceX will be responsible for any additional amounts required to satisfy the Seller Notes, other than additional amounts payable as a result of a default under the Seller Notes. ​ Additionally, in connection with the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement and the Initial SpaceX Transactions, on September 7, 2025, SpaceX and the Trust entered into a Credit Agreement, pursuant to which SpaceX has agreed upon the Spectrum Transfer Closing to loan to the Trust (via automatically cancellable loans) amounts sufficient to make debt service payments on the Seller Notes through at least November 30, 2027 (the “Interim Debt Service”), which will be secured on a junior lien basis by the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses.
  • The aggregate amount of payments for the Interim Debt Service through November 30, 2027 will equal approximately $ 2 billion and will be settled via a loan between us and SpaceX that automatically cancels upon the completion of the Spectrum Acquisition Closing.
  • The Credit Agreement is generally on standard commercial terms and conditions and, as a beneficiary of the Credit Agreement, we have the ability to enforce the parties obligations under the Agreement.
  • As of December 31, 2025, we have made approximately $ 414 million in cash interest payments on the Seller Notes, which is subject to reimbursement from SpaceX upon the Spectrum Transfer Closing. ​ The SpaceX License Purchase Agreement also provides for future long-term commercial agreements that will enable us to offer our Wireless subscribers access to SpaceX’s next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell text and voice and broadband services utilizing certain rights and licenses related to the Spectrum that are to be conveyed by us to SpaceX at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing.
  • The commercial agreements will also provide for a fee-based referral program that lets us refer existing HughesNet customers and new Starlink customers to SpaceX.
  • As of December 31, 2025, we had begun to utilize certain of the rights conveyed under the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement.
  • In addition, we also have begun performing installation and other services for new Starlink customers. ​ The description of the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the License Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. ​ ​ ​ Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement ​ On November 5, 2025, we, SpaceX and Trust, entered into an Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement (the “Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Amended SpaceX Transactions”), and, together with the Initial SpaceX Transactions, (the “SpaceX Transactions”).

  • We intend to grow our Wireless subscriber base by acquiring and retaining high quality subscribers with competitive offers, choice and outstanding customer service that better meet those subscribers’ needs and budget. ​ We are currently operating primarily as an MVNO as we continue our 5G Network Deployment and commercialize and grow customer traffic on our 5G Network.
  • We are transitioning to an MNO as our 5G Network has become commercially available and we grow customer traffic on our 5G Network.
  • We are currently activating Boost Mobile subscribers with compatible devices onto our 5G Network in markets where we have reached VoNR.
  • We currently offer a broad range of premium wireless devices on our 5G Network, including the Apple iPhone 15 and newer generation iPhones.
  • We have deployed 5G VoNR covering over 220 million Americans.
  • Within our MVNO operations, today we depend in part on T-Mobile and AT&T to provide us with network services under the MNSA and NSA, respectively. ​ As part of the commercialization of our Wireless spectrum licenses through the completion of our 5G Network Deployment, we have committed to the FCC to deploy our 5G Network capable of serving increasingly larger portions of the U.S. population at different deadlines. ​ On September 29, 2023, the FCC confirmed we met all of our June 14, 2023 band-specific 5G deployment commitments, and two of our three nationwide 5G commitments.
  • The single remaining 5G commitment, that at least 70% of the U.S. population has access to average download speeds equal to 35 Mbps, was achieved in March 2024 using the drive test methodology previously agreed upon by us and the FCC and overseen by an independent monitor . ​ In September 2024, the FCC conditionally granted our requests to extend the 5G deployment deadlines for certain of our Wireless spectrum licenses based on several commitments and in a January 10, 2025 filing to the FCC , we certified to meeting the accelerated buildout (Commitments #2 and #3 of the Extension Request) and the nationwide 80% coverage obligations (Commitment #1 of the Extension Request) due by December 31, 2024.
  • Thus, pursuant to the Extension Request, the final deployment deadlines for the licenses subject to the Extension Request (listed in Appendix G) shall be extended to December 14, 2026.
  • In addition, the final deployment deadlines for the licenses subject to the Extension Request (listed in Appendix G) shall be further extended to June 14, 2028 as long as we satisfy the remaining Extension Request commitments.
  • See Note 15 i n the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for definitions and further details. ​ Our Broadband and Satellite Services segment business strategy is to maintain and improve our leadership position and competitive advantage through development of leading-edge technologies and services marketed to selected sectors within the consumer, enterprise and government markets globally.
