BEVERLY, Mass., Feb. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATN (NASDAQ:ATNI), today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion of the Company’s results is focused on its continuing operations, and comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.   

Fourth Quarter 2015 and Full Year 2015 Financial Results and Business Review

“Fourth quarter and full year 2015 performance reflected the key trends we have discussed over the past several quarters,” said Michael Prior, Chief Executive Officer. “Most notably, fourth quarter results from our U.S. wireless business were affected by the reduced rates we negotiated with our carrier customers in exchange for extended terms and other strategic considerations, with the ultimate objective of transitioning to a long-term outsourced network model.  We had projected that the greatest impact on revenues and profitability would occur in this seasonally slower period, when volume thresholds would reduce data rates to their lowest level of the year. Higher data traffic across our expanded network and the continued growth in our rural retail wireless business partially mitigated the effect of these lower rates on revenue, but in the aggregate did not improve margins.

“The sale of our Turks and Caicos business in early 2015 negatively impacted international wireless revenue comparisons, but positively affected EBITDA comparisons.  In addition, we continued to focus on margin improvement in our USVI operations and to invest in our Guyana operations including rebranding, opening new retail stores and making several operational and business support system enhancements.

 “Full year 2015 results demonstrated solid execution across several of our strategic objectives,” Mr. Prior continued.  “We successfully implemented plans to secure the long term value of our domestic wholesale wireless business by providing cost efficient rate plans to our larger carrier customers in exchange for extended term contracts that provide us greater visibility on projected cash flows as well as other strategic benefits to enhance the business and the value of our relationships.  We took action to optimize our international wireless portfolio by divesting an unprofitable operation and investing to improve the performance in another; and we put a portion of our significant balance sheet capacity to work as we executed agreements to acquire businesses that we believe will be quickly accretive and will significantly enhance our competitive position in two of our markets,” concluded Mr. Prior.

Fourth quarter 2015 revenues were $82.9 million, 6% below the $88.5 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2014.  The decline resulted from a reduction in U.S. wireless revenues and a reduction of international wireless revenues due to the sale of our Turks and Caicos business, partially offset by incremental revenues from the Company’s renewable energy business, acquired in late 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the fourth quarter was $25.6 million, a 28% decrease over the $35.7 million reported for the 2014 fourth quarter.  Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA¹ results in the U.S. Wireless business reflected lower revenues along with increased operating expenses related to expanded network coverage and the cost to maintain multiple technologies utilized to support the rapid growth in data traffic volume.   

Operating income for the fourth quarter was $8.2 million, down 58% compared to last year’s $19.6 million in the same period mostly due to the reduction in U.S. Wireless revenue and the increased cost of expanded network coverage, and increased transaction-related charges of $4.3 million, which were largely related to our evaluation of renewable energy investment opportunities.  Operating income comparisons were favorably impacted by the addition of the renewable energy business and the sale of the Turks and Caicos business in 2015.   

Net income attributable to ATN’s stockholders for the fourth quarter was $4.2 million or $0.26 per diluted share, a decrease from the $12.6 million or $0.79 per diluted share reported in last year’s fourth quarter.

Full year revenues were $355.4 million, 6% above the $336.3 million reported for the full year 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $139.8 million for both the full year of 2015 and 2014.  Operating income was $78.6 million, down 8% compared to last year’s $85.6 million.  Full year net income attributable to ATN’s stockholders was $16.9 million or $1.05 per diluted share compared with $48.2 million or $3.01 per diluted share in the prior year.  Net income attributable to ATN’s stockholders for the full year 2015 included a $19.9 million loss related to the deconsolidation of the non-controlling interest from the sale of our holdings in Turks and Caicos.  Excluding this one-time loss on deconsolidation, net income attributable to ATN’s stockholders² was $36.9 million, or $2.29 per diluted share.

Acquisition Update

In October 2015, ATN announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in KeyTech Bermuda, a provider of data, video and voice services in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. The transaction is currently awaiting regulatory approval and is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2016. The KeyTech transaction is expected to contribute incremental annual revenues of $80 - $90 million for the first year of operations.

Also in October 2015, ATN announced the entry into an agreement to acquire the Innovative group of companies, operators of cable TV, internet and landline telecom services primarily in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When combined together with its existing Choice subsidiary, the combined company is expected to have aggregate annual revenues of $110 million and EBITDA margins between 20% and 25% for the first year of operations, exclusive of one-time integration and transaction expenses. While the waiting period for the Hart-Scott Rodino Act has expired, we are currently awaiting other regulatory approvals and the transaction is expected to close by mid-2016.

 “Looking ahead,” Mr. Prior noted, “we expect 2016 to be a pivotal year for the Company, as we continue to transition the domestic wireless business, complete and consolidate the pending telecom acquisitions, and explore additional growth opportunities, including in the distributed generation solar sector. For full year 2016, we expect U.S. wireless business revenues of $140 million to $150 million and an EBITDA margin of 50% to 55% for this business, with lower year-on-year comparisons beginning in the second quarter of the year. This reflects the projected decline in data usage rates partially offset by volume gains, but does not contemplate any significant expansion in our network coverage. Overall, consolidated results for 2016 are expected to benefit from the pending acquisitions and potential improvements in our international wireless business, and our continued strong cash flow in 2015 added to our already substantial balance sheet capacity, even after taking into consideration the over $100 million we invested into the renewables sector a little more than a year ago.  Further,” Mr. Prior concluded, “we believe that we have significant resources to invest beyond the capital required to fund the anticipated close of the pending transactions, and that our growth trajectory in 2016 and beyond will be based largely on identifying and capitalizing on new investment opportunities.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Operating Highlights

U.S. Wireless

U.S. wireless revenues consist of voice and data revenues from the Company's wholesale roaming operations and the Company’s smaller retail operations.  Total U.S. wireless revenues were $32.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of 24% from the $42.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014.  This decrease was the result of significantly reduced wholesale rates offsetting data traffic growth, network expansions and retail revenue growth. The decline in wholesale rates is partly due to traffic volumes achieving certain annual contractual pricing tier reductions in the fourth quarter, which will reset in the first quarter of 2016, and also rate decreases that started at the beginning of 2015.  Wholesale data revenues accounted for 59% of U.S. wireless revenues in the 2015 fourth quarter and 71% in the 2014 fourth quarter, as wholesale price decreases and retail revenue growth outpaced the growth in wholesale traffic volume.  The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2015 with 812 domestic base stations in service compared to 764 at the end of last year’s fourth quarter.

International Wireless

International wireless revenues include retail and wholesale voice and data wireless revenues from operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean. International wireless revenues were $19.9 million, a decrease of 8% from the $21.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014, mostly as a result of the sale of our Turks and Caicos operations in the first quarter of 2015.

Wireline  

Wireline revenues are generated by the Company's wireline operations in Guyana, integrated voice and data and wholesale transport operations in New England and New York State, and domestic and international wholesale and retail long-distance voice services.  Wireline revenues were $22.0 million, up 5% from $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, resulting mainly from increases in residential and business data revenues in Guyana.  

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy revenues are generated principally by the sale of energy and solar renewable energy credits from our 28 commercial solar projects.  For the fourth quarter of 2015, revenues from our renewable energy business were $5.4 million, consistent with the first three quarters of 2015.

Reportable Operating Segments

The Company has five reportable segments: (i) U.S. Wireless; (ii) International Integrated Telephony, which operates in Guyana; (iii) Island Wireless, which generates its revenues and has its assets located in Bermuda and the Caribbean (iv) U.S. Wireline; and (v) Renewable Energy, which provides distributed generation solar power to corporate, utility and municipal customers in the United States.  Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company plans to consolidate into three reportable segments: (i) U.S. Telecom; (ii) International Telecom; and (iii) Renewable Energy, consistent with how management began to view the structuring and managing of business operations in 2016.  Financial data on our reportable operating segments for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 were $392.0 million.  In addition, the Company held $6.3 million of restricted cash primarily related to our renewable energy business.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $139.2 million for the full year 2015, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $78.0 million for the full year 2014.  The increase was due to significant prior year cash income tax payments associated with the sale of a business and other current year changes in working capital.  Capital expenditures were $64.8 million for the full year 2015, and the Company expects full year 2016 capital expenditures to be mostly for the telecom businesses and to be in the range of $60.0 million to $70.0 million, not including any pending acquisitions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this news release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, ATN has presented an Adjusted EBITDA measure and a net income measure exclusive of the results of loss on the deconsolidation of subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to ATN stockholders before income from discontinued operations, gain on disposal of discontinued operations, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction-related charges, other income or expense, and net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Net income attributable to ATN stockholders excluding loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary and the related earnings per diluted share is defined as net income attributable to ATN stockholders less the loss and tax impact of the deconsolidation of the subsidiary.  The Company believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of the Company's core operating results and enhances comparing such performance with prior periods. ATN’s management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring our core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this news release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release.
