The company will become part of Multiemedia's existing satellite business, NewSat, and, according to CEO Adrian Ballantine, "will increase [NewSat's] sales opportunities and revenues...[and] will deliver immediate cash flow positive results for Multiemedia."
New Skies achieved total revenues of $22.9 million for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2004 and an after tax net profit of $5.4 million.

He added "[New Skies] also provides access to substantial future space segment for its long term requirements."
