ANCHORAGE, AK -- GCI
(NASDAQ:GNCMA) today reported preliminary second quarter 2008 revenues of $142.5
million, an increase of 9.7 percent over the second quarter of 2007. Second
quarter 2008 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and
share based compensation expense (EBITDAS) totaled $43.4 million. EBITDAS
increased $1.8 million or 4.2 percent from the second quarter of 2007. The
increase in EBITDAS was attributable to growth in all segments except network
access.
GCI’s second quarter 2008 net income is
expected to be $3.6 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.07. The
company’s second quarter net income compares to net income of $5.9 million, or
earnings per diluted share of $0.11 in the same period of 2007.
Second quarter 2008 revenue increased along all
products lines when compared to the prior year. Second quarter results include
the acquisition of the United companies as of June 1, 2008.
Revenues for the company increased $7.8
million, or 5.8 percent, over first quarter 2008 revenues of $134.7 million.
Second quarter EBITDAS of $43.4 million increased 13.6 percent from $38.2
million in the first quarter of 2008.
“We just concluded another excellent quarter,”
said GCI president Ron Duncan. “GCI’s second quarter results set new records for
both revenue and EBITDAS. Our strong financial results are being driven by solid
and growing customer metrics across all categories. We are on target to achieve
our goals for 2008 and 2009.”
“GCI achieved a number of important milestones
since the end of the first quarter. We closed our acquisition of the United
companies. We successfully transitioned all our rural telecommunications traffic
to the Galaxy 18 satellite. Shortly after the end of the quarter we closed our
acquisition of Alaska Wireless, LLC. This acquisition jump starts GCI’s rural
wireless initiative and along with our own rural wireless build-out will allow
GCI to provide wireless service in more than 40 rural communities before the end
of the year and more than 200 rural communities within the next 24 months. The
build-out plans for our urban wireless networks are proceeding and we hope to
close our acquisition of the remaining interest in Alaska DigiTel prior to the
end of the third quarter.”
“The third quarter marks the start of our
wireless transition. Significant amounts of EBITDAS will be shifted from our
network access business to our consumer and commercial business units as a
result of the transition of AT&T Mobility traffic off of our carrier network
and our transition of wireless customers from the AT&T network to our own,”
said Duncan. This process will add significantly to EBITDAS when it is complete
by this time next year. I anticipate continued improvement in customer counts
and operating metrics during the third quarter. Financial results should be
similar to the just completed quarter. Third quarter EBITDAS may be burdened
some by the costs and pace of the wireless transition. I am confident, however,
that we will hit our announced goals for both 2008 and 2009.”
GCI reaffirms 2008 guidance for revenues of
$550 million to $560 million and EBITDAS of more than $165 million. Additionally
GCI anticipates total cash receipts in excess of $45 million during 2008 as a
result of fiber IRU agreements which are not otherwise reflected in current
guidance. Second quarter 2008 results exceeded guidance for revenues of $133
million to $136 million and for EBITDAS in excess of the first quarter. Third
quarter revenues are expected to total $138 million to $141 million, not
including revenues from the amortization of fiber sales.
Highlights
·
|
Consumer
revenues totaled $62.1 million, an increase of 12.7 percent over the prior
year quarter and an increase of 1.2 percent over the first quarter of
2008. The increases were across all products and
services.
|
·
|
GCI local
access lines increased by 14,800 over the first quarter of 2008. The
increase includes access lines from the acquisition of the United
companies. Consumer, network access, commercial and other local access
lines totaled 137,700 at the end of the second quarter of 2008,
representing an estimated 32 percent share of the total access line market
in Alaska. GCI began providing local access services on its own facilities
in the Nome market during the second quarter of
2008.
|
·
|
GCI has
provisioned 89,700 access lines on its own facilities at the end of the
second quarter of 2008, an increase of 18,600 lines over the first quarter
of 2008 and an increase of 35,000 lines when compared to the end of the
second quarter of the prior year. The increase in provisioned lines
includes 12,200 lines acquired from the United companies. The company had
provisioned 54,700 access lines on its own facilities at the end of the
second quarter of 2007. Plant upgrades were completed in the Fairbanks,
Seward and Homer markets during the second
quarter.
|
·
|
GCI had
100,000 consumer and commercial cable modem access customers at the end of
the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 300 over the 99,700 cable modem
customers at the end of the first quarter 2008. Average monthly revenue
per cable modem totaled $37.77 for the second quarter of 2008 as compared
to $36.71 for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 2.9 percent. The
increase in average monthly revenues arises primarily from customers
upgrading to plans with increased levels of
service.
|
·
|
GCI has
84,100 wireless subscribers, an increase of 3,900 subscribers from the
first quarter of 2008.
|
·
|
GCI’s
contractors began laying 750 miles of undersea fiber that will connect
50,000 residents in several communities in Southeast Alaska. The $33
million project is expected to be completed before the end of
2008.
|
·
|
GCI is on
track with its redundant fiber route to Fairbanks and with its diverse
fiber route along Turnagain Arm near Anchorage. The Turnagain Arm project
eliminates a current bottleneck where all of the fiber routes out of
Alaska come unacceptably close together and when completed will allow
GCI’s lower 48 fiber ring to fully meet the diversity requirements of the
United States Department of
Defense.
|
Consumer
Consumer revenues increased 12.7 percent to
$62.1 million compared to $55.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 and
increased 1.2 percent over the first quarter of 2008. The increased revenue is
from all consumer product offerings.
Consumer voice revenues were up 4.4 percent
over the prior year and 2.3 percent over the first quarter of 2008. Consumer
local access lines in service for the second quarter were up approximately 9,700
lines compared to the second quarter of 2007. Access lines in the second quarter
increased by 1,300 over the first quarter of 2008. Voice revenues continue to
increase due to sales of voice services in existing and newly opened
markets.
GCI serves 60,500 consumer access lines on its
own facilities, an increase of 5,000 lines from the first quarter of
2008
Consumer video revenues increased 7.4 percent
over the prior year and were up slightly from the first quarter of 2008. The
increase in year-over-year revenue is due in part to an increase in video
subscribers purchasing higher tier services including high definition or digital
service and renting high definition/digital video recorders. Consumer video
subscribers totaled 130,300, an increase of 5,600 subscribers over the second
quarter of 2007 and a seasonal decrease of 400 subscribers from the first
quarter of 2008.
Consumer data revenues increased 25.6 percent
over the prior year and 2.9 percent over the first quarter of 2008. The increase
in consumer data revenues is due to an increase in cable modem customers and an
increase in average monthly revenue per modem subscriber. The increase in
average monthly revenues arises in part from customers upgrading to plans with
increased levels of service. GCI added 8,400 consumer cable modem customers over
the prior year and 100 customers during the second quarter of 2008.
Consumer wireless revenues increased to $13.9
million, an increase of 22.9 percent over the second quarter of 2007. The
increase in wireless revenues is primarily due to an increase in wireless
subscribers, including those of the company’s wireless subsidiary, Alaska
DigiTel.
Network
Access
Network access revenues increased 0.7 percent
to $41.9 million as compared to $41.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and
increased 6.9 percent over the first quarter of 2008.
Voice revenues, as expected, decreased 5.5
percent from the prior year and increased 5.8 percent over the first quarter of
2008. The decrease in voice revenues from the prior year is primarily due to the
effects of rate reductions for other common carriers. Network access minutes
increased 2.7 percent to 326.2 million minutes for the second quarter of 2008 as
compared to the second quarter of 2007. Minutes for the second quarter of 2008
increased 3.7 percent from the first quarter of 2008.
Data revenues for the second quarter of 2008
were up 16.3 percent compared to second quarter 2007 and increased 6.8 percent
over the first quarter of 2008. The increase in data revenues over the prior
year is primarily due to an increase in circuits sold.
Commercial
Commercial revenues increased 4.8 percent to
$27.4 million as compared to $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 and
increased 3.2 percent from $26.6 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Commercial revenues increased from the prior year primarily due to an increase
in time and materials revenues. Revenues increased along all commercial product
lines over the first quarter of 2008.
A second quarter decrease in voice revenues as
compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in average revenue
per minute and a 3.5 percent decrease in long distance minutes. Sequentially,
commercial minutes increased 0.3 percent over the first quarter of 2008. GCI
increased commercial local access lines by 2,500 over the second quarter of 2007
and 1,900 when compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Commercial video revenues increased 7.2 percent
on a year-over-year basis and increased 18.1 percent sequentially over the first
quarter of 2008. The increase in video revenues year-over-year is due primarily
to a 15.4 percent increase in subscribers. The sequential increase in revenues
is due mostly to an increase in advertising revenues.
Commercial data network revenues in the second
quarter of 2008 totaled $16.6 million, an increase of 13.9 percent when compared
to $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $0.4 million or 2.3 percent,
when compared to $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Commercial data network revenues comprise $9.5
million in monthly recurring charges for data services and $7.1 million in
charges billed on a time and materials basis largely for personnel providing on
site customer support. This latter category can vary significantly based on
project activity. For the second quarter of 2008 monthly recurring data revenues
increased by approximately $0.9 million when compared to the second quarter 2007
and $0.3 million compared to the first quarter 2008. Time and material charges
increased by $1.1 million as compared to the second quarter of 2007 and
increased by $0.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Managed
Broadband
Managed
broadband revenues totaled $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, an
increase of 31.4 percent from $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Revenue for the second quarter was up 21.4 percent from the $7.5 million
reported in the first quarter of 2008. The large increases in revenues were due
primarily to one time equipment sales.
Regulated
Operations
GCI acquired United Utilities, Inc. (UUI) and
its wholly owned subsidiary United-KUC, Inc., as part of its acquisition of the
United companies on June 1, 2008. UUI and United-KUC are incumbent
local exchange carriers that obtain their revenues from rates derived from
the regulated revenue requirement for each service they provide.
UUI’s consolidated regulated revenues for one
month of the second quarter totaled $1.9 million and its EBTIDAS totaled $0.4
million. UUI consolidated has 12,200 local access lines at the end of the second
quarter of 2008.
Other
Items
During the second quarter of 2008 GCI’s capital
expenditures totaled $167.4 million as compared to $52.7 million in the first
quarter of 2008. GCI’s capital expenditures include those of Alaska DigiTel and

18 Satellite.

Notes:

(1) EBITDA
(as defined in Note 2 below) before deducting share-based compensation
expense.
|
|
(2) EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is the
sum of Net Income, Interest Expense, Loan and Senior Notes Fees, Interest
Income, Income Tax Expense, and Depreciation and Amortization
Expense. EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of
net income, operating income or cash flow from operations, as determined
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. GCI's management uses EBITDA to evaluate the
operating performance of its business, and as a measure of performance for
incentive compensation purposes. GCI believes EBITDA is a
measure used as an analytical indicator of income generated to service
debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, multiples of
current or projected EBITDA are used to estimate current or prospective
enterprise value. EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for
debt service requirements, and thus does not reflect funds available for
investment or other discretionary uses. EBITDA as presented
herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
