Alaska Communications Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALSK) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2019.

“Our top priority is to drive growth revenues by leveraging our strengths: stellar customer relationships, excellent customer service, and superior network solutions. For example, in July, an existing carrier customer signed another agreement to pre-fund the further expansion of our fiber network. This strategic program and the associated services are expected to generate significant revenue and secure future growth opportunities. Market demand continues to be robust. Our growth revenues combined with stable high cost support revenues reached 70% of total revenues for the quarter. Also, we initiated our stock repurchase plan providing returns to stockholders. Overall, we have confidence in our business plan based on continued market opportunities, a healthy sales funnel, and efficient use of capital. We look forward to reporting strong progress and profitable growth,” said Bill Bishop, interim president & CEO of Alaska Communications.

Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018

• Total revenue was $57.4 million. This compares to $59.6 million, which included a $2.1 million favorable adjustment to business broadband for the effect of Rural Health Care (RHC) increases approved by the FCC in June 2018. Excluding this adjustment, total revenue was stable year-over-year.
  • Business and wholesale revenue was $37.0 million, compared to $37.5 million, which includes the aforementioned $2.1 million favorable RHC adjustment.
  • Consumer revenue was $9.3 million, compared to $9.5 million.
  • Regulatory revenue was $11.0 million, compared to $12.6 million, as expected due to the restructuring of the Alaska Universal Service program.
• Operating expenses were $54.2 million, compared to $51.3 million, reflecting the termination in the fourth quarter of 2018 of both the furloughs and temporary wage reductions imposed in the first quarter of 2018, as well as higher depreciation expense.
• Operating income was $3.2 million, compared to $8.3 million.
• Net income was $35 thousand, compared to $3.4 million.
• Capital expenditures were $11.9 million, compared to $8.4 million, reflecting spending in 2019 associated with the 5G wireless backhaul project.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $13.9 million, compared to $16.9 million. The decline reflects the aforementioned prior year RHC adjustment and labor costs.
• Adjusted free cash flow was ($3.1) million, compared to $4.2 million, reflecting lower Adjusted EBITDA, unanticipated cash severance expense and planned higher capital spending.
• Cash was $25.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2018, reflecting net proceeds from the refinancing transaction.
• Net debt was $158.8 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $161.2 million at December 31, 2018.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures can be found in tables at the end of this release and on the Company’s website at http://www.alsk.com in the investment data section.

Laurie Butcher, Alaska Communications senior vice-president of finance, said, “The second quarter was in line with our expectations, yet compares unfavorably to the same quarter in 2018 as the result of the $2.1 million RHC program adjustment and a $2.4 million increase in labor costs primarily associated with non-recurring cost savings from employee furloughs and temporary salary reductions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the quarter reflects these trends and also includes $1.6 million of unanticipated CEO severance costs. With a strong sales funnel, we expect to deliver revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the second half of 2019 improved over first half, and with that, we reaffirm guidance. Our cash position is very strong, and as announced in June, we initiated a stock repurchase plan to purchase up to one million shares. Through August 6, we have purchased over 500 thousand shares and will continue to evaluate measures to return capital to shareholders.”

The Company reaffirms 2019 guidance.

• Total Revenue to be between $230 million and $235 million

Non-GAAP Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of period to period changes in costs that are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations and is used by Management and the Company’s Board of Directors to evaluate current operating financial performance, analyze and evaluate strategic and operational decisions and better evaluate comparability between periods. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measured used by Management and the Company’s Board of Directors to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash and plan for future operating and capital actions. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are common measures utilized by our peers (other telecommunications companies) and we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts about the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Net Debt provides Management and the Company’s Board of Directors with a measure of the Company’s current leverage position. The definition and computation of these non-GAAP measures are provided on Schedules 4, 6 and 9 to this press release. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered a substitute for Net Income, Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities and other measures of financial performance recorded in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our nearest GAAP measures can be found in the tables in this release. Other companies may not calculate non-GAAP measures in the same manner as Alaska Communications. The Company does not provide reconciliations of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net Cash from Operating Activities, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company does not forecast certain items required to develop the comparable GAAP financial measures. These items are charges and benefits for uncollectible accounts, certain other non-cash expenses, unusual items typically excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and changes in operating assets and liabilities (generally the most significant of these items, representing cash inflows of $7.2 million in the six-month period of 2019).

Forward-Looking Statements

NonGAAP Measures:

The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of period to period changes in costs that are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations and is used by Management and the Company’s Board of Directors to evaluate current operating financial performance, analyze and evaluate strategic and operational decisions and better evaluate comparability between periods. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used by Management to assess the Company’s ability to generate cash and plan for future operating and capital actions. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are common measures utilized by our peers (other telecommunications companies) and we believe they provide useful information to investors and analysts about the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Net Debt provides Management and the Board of Directors with a measure of the Company’s current leverage position.

The Company does not provide reconciliations of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company does not forecast certain items required to develop the comparable GAAP financial measures. These items are charges and benefits for uncollectible accounts, certain other non-cash expenses, unusual items typically excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and changes in operating assets and liabilities (generally the most significant of these items, representing cash inflows of $7.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019).

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not GAAP measures and should not be considered a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or net cash provided or used. Adjusted EBITDA as computed above is not consistent with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA referenced in our 2019 Senior Credit Facility, and other companies may not calculate Non-GAAP measures in the same manner we do.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and income, loss on extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, other income and expense, gain or loss on asset purchases or disposals, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, cash severance expense for the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest.

* Quarterly Adjusted Free Cash Flow fluctuates and should not be viewed as an indicator of annual performance. Onetime events, seasonality of capital spend and the timing of interest payments may result in negative Adjusted Free Cash Flow in one or more quarters.

NonGAAP Measures:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure and is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less recurring operating cash requirements which include capital expenditures, cash income taxes refunded or paid, cash interest paid, amortization of GCI capacity revenue, and cash severance expense for the Company's former Chief Executive Officer. Amortization of deferred revenue associated with our interconnection agreement with GCI is excluded from Adjusted Free Cash Flow because no cash was received by the Company in connection with this agreement. Amortization of all other deferred revenue, including that associated with other IRU capacity arrangements, is included in Adjusted Free Cash Flow because cash was received by the Company, typically at contract inception, and is being recognized as revenue over the term of the relevant agreement.

See Schedule 3 for Net cash provided by operating activities, Net cash used by investing activities, and Net cash (used) provided by financing activities.

See Schedule 5 for the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
