Adjusted EBITDA of $20.9 Million on Revenue of $58.9 Million

LOUISVILLE, Colo., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Zayo Group, LLC ("Zayo Group" or "Zayo"), a leading provider of bandwidth infrastructure and network-neutral colocation and interconnection services, announced results for the three and nine months ended on March 31, 2010.  Zayo Group consists of three business units which are reportable segments, Zayo Bandwidth, Zayo Enterprise Networks ("ZEN") and Zayo Colocation ("zColo").

Zayo generated revenue of $58.9 million, which is an increase of $0.7 million from the previous quarter, or a 5% annualized increase.  The modest revenue growth (as compared to prior quarters) was largely the result of increased churn in Zayo Bandwidth, the company's largest business unit.  Average monthly churn for Zayo Bandwidth in the quarter was 1.7%, driven in part by the loss of less durable and lower Gross Profit margin off-net transport business inherited as part of the FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc. ("FiberNet") acquisition.  Monthly churn was at the upper end of the range of 0.9% to 1.8% experienced by Zayo Bandwidth over the previous five quarters, and 35 basis points higher than the average of 1.35% for the period.

Revenue increased $20.5 million over the third quarter of 2009 as a result of both organic growth and the acquisition of FiberNet, which closed in September 2009.  

Gross Profit was $39.4 million for a margin of 67%, representing a sequential increase of $1.0 million or 10% annualized increase and margin improvement of 100 basis points.  The growth in Gross Profit outpaced revenue growth because on-net gross installed revenue replaced off-net churn.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $20.9 million, which was $1.3 million higher than the prior quarter, or a 27% annualized increase.   Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 100 basis points to 35%.  The strong EBITDA growth rate benefited from the high margin nature of net installed revenue for the period as well as the continued realization of SG&A synergies.  

As compared to the third quarter of 2009, Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.0 million, again due to both high margin organic growth and the Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the FiberNet acquisition.

For the quarter, Zayo Bandwidth invested $16.1 million in capital expenditures.  Of the $16.1 million in capital expenditures, $7.9 million was associated with Fiber to the Tower projects.

On March 5th, Zayo completed an offering of $250 million of senior secured notes due 2017 with a coupon of 10.25%.  In conjunction with the bond offering, Zayo entered into a 4-year $75 million revolving credit facility.

The company ended the quarter with $81.5 million in cash and $0 outstanding on the revolving credit facility. The cash balance reflects Free Cash Flow(2) generation of approximately $4.3 million for the quarter and the net impact of the notes proceeds and senior debt repayment.

At the time of the notes offering, Zayo also completed the tax-free spinoff of its subsidiary Onvoy, Inc ("Onvoy Voice Services" or "OVS") to an unrestricted parent holding company.  As a result of this spinoff, OVS' pre-March 12, 2010 results have been reported as discontinued operations in Zayo Group's annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements.   The pro forma tables shown herein include adjustments to Zayo's results to present Zayo as if the spinoff had occurred at the beginning of the quarter.

On March 23, 2010, Zayo entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AGL Networks, LLC ("AGL Networks"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources.  AGL Networks has been operating fiber networks and providing dark fiber services since its inception in 2001.  AGL Networks provides these services to a mix of carrier, wireless, media/content, financial, enterprise, government, and education customers.  AGL Networks primarily provides services in three markets: Atlanta, Phoenix and Charlotte.    Over time, AGL Networks has continued to expand and grow its fiber footprint by adding new rings and connecting new buildings to these networks.  In aggregate, AGL Network's fiber-rich networks cover nearly 800 route miles and connect to 275 buildings.  

Like Zayo, AGL Networks is focused on providing telecommunications and internet infrastructure services.  Akin to the role that towers play in a wireless carrier's network, AGL Network's dark fiber services are essential building blocks in its customers' underlying networks.  Subject to regulatory approvals, the company expects the transaction to close in the summer of 2010.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the company on page 1 of the earnings release supplement and reconciled in Figure 1.12 and Figure 1.13 herein.

(2) Free Cash Flow is defined by the company on page 2 of the earnings release supplement and reconciled in Figure 1.14 and Figure 1.15 herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain financial measures in this earnings announcement that are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as measures of our liquidity.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity and these financial measures are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and makes it easier to compare our results with the results of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

  • does not reflect capital expenditures, or future requirements for capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
  • does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.

Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.

In addition to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, the company uses the following additional non-GAAP financial measures in the earnings announcement and related material:

  • Free Cash Flow; and
  • Invested Capital.

All of the non-GAAP financial measures are further defined and reconciled in our supplement to the earnings release.
