(formerly known as Serafina Holdings Limited), an entity controlled by funds advised by BC Partners HoldingsnLtd., Silver Lake Partners and certain other equity investors.

Intelsat CEO Dave McGlade commented, “Intelsat delivered a strong first quarter. We achieved broad-based revenue growth, with increases reported by each of our three primary customer sectors, Media, Network Services and Government. The powerful forces of globalisation, technology – including mobility, IP networks and high definition television – and deregulation continue to drive demand for our global communications infrastructure, as illustrated by our record contract backlog at quarter end of $8.3 billion.”
