• Quarterly revenue of $48.1 million consisting of:
  -- Managed Services revenue of $44.1 million,
  -- Systems Integration and Automation (SI&A) revenue of $4.0 million
   
• Quarterly GAAP Net Loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.0 million, $0.11 per share

HOUSTON, May 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RigNet, Inc. (NASDAQ:RNET), a leading global provider of customized systems and solutions serving customers with complex data networking and operational requirements, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Quarterly revenue was $48.1 million representing a decrease of $4.7 million compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $14.3 million compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue decrease compared to the prior quarter reflects a $3.1 million decrease in Managed Service revenue and a $1.6 million decrease in SI&A revenue. The decrease compared to the prior year quarter reflects a $10.3 million decrease in Managed Services revenue and a decrease of $3.9 million in SI&A revenue. Revenue continues to be impacted by previously announced reductions in offshore drilling.

GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.8 million, or $0.21 per share, in the prior quarter and net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.3 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior year quarter.

Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA was $7.2 million compared to $9.4 million in the prior quarter and $10.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease compared to the prior quarter and prior year quarter was due primarily to decreased revenue partially offset by a reduction in ongoing operating expenses.

Capital expenditures were $3.2 million compared to $3.7 million in the prior quarter and $4.9 million in the prior year quarter.  Unlevered Free Cash Flow, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, was $4.1 million compared to $5.7 million in the prior quarter and $5.8 million in the prior year quarter.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $0.6 million of restructuring charges, and recorded $2.3 million of revenue and $1.5 million of cost for equipment sales to a certain customer. In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded $1.9 million of executive departure costs, acquisition costs of $0.2 million, $0.3 million of CEO search costs, and ERP implementation costs of $0.4 million. The restructuring charges, acquisition costs and executive departure costs are added back to net loss in our non-GAAP measures below.

Steven E. Pickett, chief executive officer and president, commented, "I am pleased with our team's efforts during the quarter which, among other things, resulted in $4.1 million of Unlevered Free Cash Flow and further improvements to our balance sheet.  Despite sluggishness in the offshore drilling market, we are encouraged by signs of recovery in the upstream sector as a whole, where during the first quarter, we recorded increases in the number of sites that we are serving.  We continue streamlining the business, resulting in lower costs and better service consistency for our customers around the world."
