LONDON, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Crossing Limited (Nasdaq: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 results for its subsidiary, Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited (GCUK).

Highlights

For the fourth quarter of 2010, GCUK generated revenue of 83 million pounds and Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) of 18 million pounds.  (OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled below.)  The company also reported net cash provided by operations of 10 million pounds.  For the full year, GCUK generated revenue of 314 million pounds and OIBDA of 70 million pounds.

“GCUK reported solid results in 2010, with an increase of three percent year over year in GCUK’s ‘Invest and Grow’ revenue,” said John Legere, Global Crossing’s chief executive officer. “We continue to position the business strategically for long-term growth through investments in sales resources and enhanced capabilities to deliver value-added IP, Ethernet, data center and managed solutions.”

Fourth Quarter Results

GCUK generated revenue of 83 million pounds in the fourth quarter, a sequential increase of 10 percent and a year-over-year increase of 6 percent.  The sequential and year-over-year increases were primarily due to a non-recurring benefit of 4 million pounds from the completion of a customer contract and 5 million pounds from the sale of equipment in connection with a new contract for managed services.  

Gross profit was 31 million pounds for the quarter, a sequential increase of 3 million pounds and a year-over-year increase of 4 million pounds.  The sequential and year-over-year improvements were primarily driven by 4 million pounds of margin associated with the previously mentioned contract completion and equipment sale.  

GCUK’s OIBDA for the fourth quarter was 18 million pounds, compared to 16 million pounds in the third quarter of 2010 and 16 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The sequential and year-over-year improvements were driven by improvements in gross profit.  

GCUK recorded a net loss of 2 million pounds for the fourth quarter, compared with a net profit of 3 million pounds in the third quarter of 2010 and a net loss of 2 million pounds in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The sequential decrease in net profit was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange impacts on net U.S. dollar-denominated debt, partially offset by the improvement in OIBDA.

Full Year Results

GCUK generated revenue of 314 million pounds in 2010, compared with 309 million pounds for 2009.  The year-over-year increase in revenue was due to growth in the company’s strategic “Invest and Grow” services including the previously mentioned contract completion and equipment sale, partially offset by declines in wholesale voice revenue.

Gross profit for 2010 was 117 million pounds, or 37 percent of revenue, compared with gross profit of 112 million pounds, or 36 percent of revenue in 2009.  The year-over-year increase in gross profit was principally due to margin associated with the previously mentioned contract completion and equipment sale and lower depreciation and amortization in 2010, partially offset by the benefit in 2009 from a favorable regulatory ruling.

GCUK’s OIBDA for 2010 was 70 million pounds, compared with 66 million pounds in 2009.  The year-over-year increase in OIBDA was due to higher gross margin.

GCUK recorded net loss of 7 million pounds for 2010, compared with net profit of 5 million pounds in 2009.  The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange impact on net U.S. dollar-denominated debt in 2010.

Cash and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2010, GCUK had cash and cash equivalents of 49 million pounds, compared with 42 million pounds on September 30, 2010, and 37 million pounds on December 31, 2009.  

GCUK’s cash and cash equivalents increased 7 million pounds in the fourth quarter.  Net cash provided by operating activities during the fourth quarter totaled 10 million pounds, after cash provided by operating working capital of 16 million pounds and interest payments of 16 million pounds.  During the quarter, GCUK recorded purchases of property, plant and equipment of 2 million pounds and principal payments on finance leases and other debt of 1 million pounds.

GCUK’s cash and cash equivalents increased by 12 million pounds during 2010.  Net cash from operating activities during 2010 totaled 16 million pounds, including cash used in operating working capital of 7 million pounds and interest payments of 34 million pounds.  During 2010, GCUK recorded purchases of property, plant and equipment of 16 million pounds and principal payments on finance leases and other debt of 8 million pounds.  In 2010, GCUK also borrowed 13 million pounds from Global Crossing Europe Limited, a subsidiary of Global Crossing Limited.

International Financial Reporting Standards

GCUK’s results reported here include audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009; unaudited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the three months ended December 31, 2009, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010; the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010; and audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, all in accordance with IFRS and in pounds sterling, as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).  GCUK’s results for the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 and the third quarter of 2010, as well as those for the full years 2010 and 2009, were included in Global Crossing’s consolidated results previously reported on February 22, 2010, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in U.S. dollars.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Consistent with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Regulation G, the attached tables include a definition of OIBDA, as well as a reconciliation of such measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Conference Call

On April 11, 2011, Global Crossing announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Level 3 Communications, Inc. (“Level 3”) under which Level 3 will acquire Global Crossing.  Pending completion of the acquisition, Global Crossing will continue to issue quarterly releases of GCUK financial results and make periodic filings with the SEC as may be required by law or under the applicable indenture for the notes issued by Global Crossing (UK) Finance Plc.  However, management has decided to discontinue conducting separate quarterly conference calls to discuss GCUK’s standalone financial results.

Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Profit to OIBDA  

Results below are in pounds sterling in thousands


Pursuant to the SEC’s Regulation G, the following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss)/profit under IFRS to OIBDA, which is considered a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure.


OIBDA is defined as operating profit before depreciation and amortization and foreign exchange (losses) gains on operating working capital movements, based upon our consolidated statements of operations. OIBDA differs from operating profit, in that it excludes depreciation and amortization. Such excluded expenses primarily reflect the non-cash impacts of historical capital investments, as opposed to the cash impacts of capital expenditures made in recent periods. In addition, OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for reinvestment, distributions or other discretionary uses.


Management uses OIBDA as an important part of our internal reporting and planning processes and as a key measure to evaluate profitability and operating performance, make comparisons between periods, and to make resource allocation decisions. Management believes that the investment community uses similar performance measures to compare performance of competitors in our industry.


There are material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculation of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Additionally, OIBDA does not include certain significant items such as depreciation and amortization, finance revenue, finance charges, foreign exchange (losses) gains, income taxes and other non-operating profit or loss items. OIBDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.


Management believes that OIBDA is useful to our investors as it is a relevant indicator of operating performance, especially in a capital-intensive industry such as telecommunications. OIBDA provides investors with an indication of the underlying performance of our everyday business operations. It excludes the effect of items associated with our capitalization and tax structures, such as interest income, interest expense and income taxes, and of other items not associated with our everyday operations.
