SATS: What to expect on Friday

EchoStar (previously Dish) is hosting a conference call on Friday at noon to discuss 4Q23 results (details). Consensus estimates appear to be a mess with not all analysts updating for the merger close. We do our best to make sense of expectations in light of how we think the Company will report results in this brief note. The key areas of focus will be funding maturities in late 2024, prospects for new debt exchanges, subscriber growth at Boost, and savings from moving Boost traffic on network.
