Lumos Networks Corp. Reports First Quarter 2015 Results
Lumos Networks Corp. ("Lumos Networks", "Lumos" or the "Company")
(Nasdaq: LMOS), a fiber-based service provider of data, voice and
IP-based telecommunication services in the Mid-Atlantic region, today
announced financial results for the first quarter of 2015.
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2015 was $50.5 million, up nearly
1% from the prior year period while total Adjusted EBITDA was over $22.5
million, up slightly on a sequential basis and essentially flat from the
prior year period. Total Data segment revenue in the first quarter of
2015 was $27.8 million, up over 6% from the prior year period and up
approximately 2% sequentially. Data revenue constituted 55% of total
revenue up from 52% in the prior year period.
"Our first quarter results demonstrate that our transformation into a
fiber bandwidth infrastructure provider is taking shape," said Timothy
G. Biltz, President and CEO of Lumos Networks. "Our data revenue growth
accelerated on a year-over-year basis to over 6%. We expect this
momentum to continue through the rest of the year and we maintain our
target for $116 million in total data revenue in 2015, up 9% from 2014.
This strength, combined with better than expected trends within our R&SB
segment, lead us to reiterate our 2015 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
guidance of approximately $202 million and approximately $92 million,
respectively."
Mr. Biltz continued, "Our FTTC segment surpassed $6 million in quarterly
revenue for the first time and we are on track to achieve our target of
$29 million in FTTC revenue in 2015, up 45% from 2014. Additionally, our
Enterprise Data segment achieved over $11 million in quarterly revenue
for the first time, growing over 4% from the prior year period. Better
R&SB cash flow performance underscores our efforts to maximize cash flow
from our legacy businesses to fund our fiber expansion."
"We now expect to have the vast majority of our 665-mile network
expansion in Richmond and into Hampton Roads, Petersburg and Norfolk
completed by the end of 2015," Mr. Biltz said. "This acceleration of our
build completion gives us further confidence that we will be able to
generate $4-5 million in FTTC revenue from this project in 2016 and will
provide the opportunity to begin pursuing Enterprise and Carrier End
User opportunities on a fully lit network one quarter sooner than
expected. We believe that this network expansion will increase our
Enterprise addressable market by $135 million, or approximately 60%,
versus our current fiber footprint."
Robert E. Guth, Chairman of the Board of Lumos Networks noted, "On
behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce the extension
of Timothy Biltz's CEO employment contract for an additional two years,
through April of 2018. This extension is well-earned by Tim and will
provide for great continuity as he and the entire Lumos team continue to
grow and transform the business."
First Quarter 2015 Highlights
-
The Company ended 1Q15 with 907 unique FTTC sites, up 49 sequentially

targeting to renew Enterprise accounts worth over $17 million in total
contract value, up more than 50% from the first half of 2014.
-

Company-owned, with an average strand count of over 68 strands.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Lumos Networks
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion
of asset retirement obligations, net income or loss attributable to
non-controlling interests, other income or expenses, equity-based
compensation charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization of
actuarial losses on retirement plans, employee separation charges,
restructuring-related charges, gain or loss on settlements and gain or
loss on interest rate swap derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin is
calculated as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to operating
revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. It should
not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures
determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules herein
and our SEC filings for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
performance measures to the most comparable measures reported in
accordance with GAAP and for a discussion of the presentation,
comparability and use of such financial performance measures.
SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE COMPANY REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Any statements contained in this presentation that are not statements of
historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and
expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as
such. The words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends,"
"plans," "estimates," "targets," "projects," "should," "may," "will" and
similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things,
our current expectations, plans and strategies, and anticipated
financial results, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and factors that may cause our actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or
predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or review any
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Important factors with respect to any such
forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: rapid
development and intense competition in the telecommunications and high
speed data transport industry; our ability to offset expected revenue
declines in legacy voice and access products related to the recent
regulatory actions, wireless substitution, technology changes and other
factors; our ability to effectively allocate capital and implement our
"edge-out" expansion plans in a timely manner; our ability to complete
customer installations in a timely manner; adverse economic conditions;
operating and financial restrictions imposed by our senior credit
facility; our cash and capital requirements; declining prices for our
services; our ability to maintain and enhance our network; the potential
to experience a high rate of customer turnover; federal and state
regulatory fees, requirements and developments; our reliance on certain
suppliers and vendors; and other unforeseen difficulties that may occur.
These risks and uncertainties are not intended to represent a complete
list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, and should
be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary statements and
risk factors included in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report
