Revenue

Globalstar reported revenue of $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The primary driver of the revenue increase was SPOT service revenue, which grew by $1.6 million, or 33%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. As expected, Duplex service revenue was lower in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, but increased by approximately 7% from the first quarter of 2012. The Company anticipates further Duplex revenue growth later this year as additional second-generation satellites are placed into service.
