Dow Jones Newswires For the first quarter ended March 31, 1998, EchoStar reported a loss of $49.9 million, or $1.30 a share, on revenue of $214.4 million. EchoStar Communications also stated in its annual filing with the SEC that the company expects direct-to-home revenue may decline by as much as 50% in 1999, according to Federal Filings Business News. Direct-to-home revenue from equipment sales and integration services rose to $256.2 million last year from $91.6 million in 1997. Echostar had total revenue of $982.7 million in 1998, compared with $477.4 million in 1997. Ecchostar expects satellite services revenue to increase during 1999, as a result of an increased number of business television customers. Development and implementation of new services is also expected to contribute to the rise in revenue. Satellite services revenue increased to $22.4 million in 1998, from $11.1 million in the year-ago period. Separately, Echostar plans to spend $35 million in capital expenditures in connection with digital encoders required to accomodate the expansion to about 500 video and audio channels. EchoStar is a satellite broadcast company.
