Inmarsat, a London-basedprovider of global mobile communications via satellite, reported increases in revenues, profits and earnings per share last year compared with 2001.

Revenues rose 5 percent to $463 million; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) climbed 11 percent to $314 million; and earnings per share soared 165 percent to $1.64. The improved EBITDA performance was largely attributed to increased revenues from high-speed data land-based satellite communication and leased satellite services, supported by strong take-up of new product introductions, lower operating costs and global security revenues, company officials said.
