  • EBITDA1 increased to $38.8 million from $23.1 million a year ago.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 increased to $39.2 million from $25.2 million a year ago.
  • Capital expenditures were $40.6 million.
  • Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $72.2 million as of June 30, 2022.

BEVERLY, Mass., July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATN International, Inc. (“ATN” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ATNI), a leading provider of digital infrastructure and communications services, today reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

“We delivered solid revenues in the second quarter while at the same time managing a slight uptick in labor expenses and increased development costs as we continued to invest in advancing our long-term growth strategy,” said Michael Prior, Chief Executive Officer of ATN. “After one full year of operating Alaska Communications, we have expanded our overall U.S. infrastructure footprint, strengthened our base of recurring revenues, and increased our topline segment revenues by more than 50% year over year. In addition, by combining forces with the Alaska team, we have won several significant awards to bring increased, and more affordable, connectivity to some of the state’s more rural locations.

“Our Commnet Broadband subsidiary announced separately today, that we entered into an agreement this week to acquire Sacred Wind Enterprises, the largest privately owned broadband company in New Mexico. We view this transaction as a next step in the transformation of Commnet's legacy wholesale roaming business. When complete, the combination will expand our core digital infrastructure footprint, and development pipeline, and increase the scale of our wholesale carrier, residential, and business broadband services in the rural Southwest. We expect to utilize approximately $25.0 million of cash and assume approximately $32.0 million in debt to close the transaction after we have obtained regulatory approvals. We do not expect this business combination to have a meaningful impact on our 2022 operating results, as its closing is currently anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of this year. On a standalone basis, we expect Sacred Wind Enterprises to generate approximately $10 million of EBITDA in 2022.

“Additionally, we are pleased to announce that we have won a grant for approximately $10 million in support of our Southern Apache County Fiber to the Home project. Through this project, we aim to deliver fiber-based broadband to more than 11,000 residents and 4,000 homes and businesses in several northeastern Arizona communities, many of which suffer from high unemployment and poverty rates.

“We remain committed to building more core digital infrastructure and expanding our fiber footprint in the communities we serve. By focusing on our growth strategy and putting our customers first, we have continued to advance many of our key metrics, including homes passed by broadband services, total broadband customers, and broadband customers served by networks with speeds of 100 MBPs or greater. On this point, we saw our broadband homes passed by high-speed networks increase to nearly 200,000, and are now able to offer more than half of our broadband customer base high-speed services, driven primarily by expansion in our International Telecom markets. Overall, we expect our investments from the first half of 2022 to support our annual and multi-year revenue and EBITDA growth projections, and we continue to see ample demand for our cutting-edge solutions,” added Prior.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Second quarter 2022 consolidated revenues were $179.5 million, up 45% compared with $123.9 million in the same period a year ago. The Company reported operating income of $1.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $39.2 million compared with an operating income of $2.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $25.2 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA2 was mostly driven by the addition of Alaska Communications' results, partially offset by a decline in legacy wholesale wireless revenues and increased operating expenses in the Company’s International Telecom segment. These expenses reflect the Company’s continued investment in network expansion and enhancement, along with improving its sales and marketing capabilities to support future growth. The decrease in operating income for the quarter includes the impact of the increased depreciation and amortization expenses from Alaska Communications. Net loss attributable to ATN stockholders for the second quarter was $0.5 million, or $0.11 loss per share, compared with net income attributable to ATN stockholders of $2.0 million, or $0.13 income per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. The increase in the net loss for the quarter was driven by the increase in interest expense from the Alaska Communication’s acquisition and other expenses related to dissolving a defined benefit pension plan.

Second Quarter 2022 Operating Segment Results

The Company recorded financial results during the second quarter of 2022 in three categories: (i) International Telecom; (ii) US Telecom; and (iii) All Other. For the purposes of the below presentation, the Company’s Renewable Energy segment has been combined with the Company’s Corporate segment and Other segment as “All Other.”

*For this table presentation, the Renewable Energy segment results and Corporate and Other segment results were combined. See table 4 for the separate presentation of the financial performance of these segments.

International Telecom 

International Telecom revenues3 were $88.4 million for the quarter, up 3% year over year. This increase was mainly due to mobile subscriber growth and higher carrier services revenue, which resulted from increased travel and tourism in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Bermuda. The increase in segment revenues was partially offset by a scheduled step down in federal high-cost support subsidies for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Operating expenses for the quarter increased incrementally year over year as the Company invested in expanding and enhancing its networks and sales and marketing capabilities to expand its subscriber base. Operating income was $11.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 was $27.1 million in the quarter, compared with operating income of $14.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $28.4 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year changes in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA2 were mainly due to higher operating expenditures, which offset the increase in total segment revenues.

US Telecom 

US Telecom segment revenues4 were $91.1 million in the quarter, more than doubling from $37.6 million in the prior year period. Business and carrier services revenues accounted for approximately 70% of the segment’s services revenues in the second quarter of 2022. Operating loss was $0.3 million compared with $0.6 million in the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA2 was $20.7 million in the quarter compared with $4.5 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA2 was mainly due to the consolidation of Alaska Communications, partially offset by the reduction in legacy wholesale wireless revenues.

By the end of the second quarter of 2022, the Company had completed and activated approximately 65% of the total sites related to the network build portion of its long-term FirstNet Agreement. The Company now expects to complete an additional 20% of the total build by the end of 2022 with completion of remainder of the sites in early 2023. Revenues from the build will be largely offset by construction costs incurred in the same period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $72.2 million, compared with $80.7 million as of December 31, 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flow was due to the increase in EBITDA for the first six months of 2022, which offset net uses of working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used net cash of $59.3 million for investing and financing activities, compared to $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net use of cash was primarily attributable to $75.1 million in capital expenditures, $4.5 million of purchases of minority equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries and $7.5 million in dividends to Company stockholders and repurchases of Company common stock. These uses of cash were partially offset by net borrowings of $24.5 million under revolving credit agreements.

Quarterly Dividends and Stock Buybacks

On June 13, 2022, ATN announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on July 8, 2022, on all common shares outstanding to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company utilized cash on hand to repurchase $0.9 million in common stock.

2022 Guidance and Outlook
The Company is reiterating its outlook for 2022 financial performance and its targets to be achieved in the three-year period ending in 2024, originally provided on February 23, 2022, within its fourth quarter and full year 2021 earnings release. The foundation of the Company’s full year 2022 financial targets is based on continued capital investments in the range of $150 to $160 million (net of reimbursed amounts), primarily in network expansion and upgrades, which are expected to drive subscriber and revenue growth in the following periods. The Company continues to expect its Adjusted EBITDA levels to increase in the second half of 2022 and to be in the range of $165 to $170 million for the full year5.

Strategic Progress Highlights

The Company believes that its Glass and Steel™ and “first-to-fiber” market strategies are important for its long-term success and sees a rapidly growing need for more bandwidth and reliable connectivity. Deploying capital for growth in fiber and fiber-fed high-speed data solutions to more homes, businesses, schools, cell sites, and communities, inclusive of the Company’s acquisition of Alaska Communications, has led to increases in the Company’s fiber footprint and broadband subscriber levels.

From January 1, 2020, to the present, the Company has:

  • Added 306,000 premises passed by broadband, with 36,000 of the total group passed by higher-speed solutions6 .
  • Added approximately 65,200 broadband subscribers.
  • Increased terrestrial fiber facilities by adding over 6,370 route miles.
  • Expanded mobile data capacity in all markets and added approximately 62,800 mobile subscribers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company has included EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt Ratio in this release and in the tables included herein.

EBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense. The Company has defined Adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense, transaction-related charges, one-time impairment or special charges and the gain (loss) on disposition of assets. Net Debt Ratio is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the four quarters ended total Adjusted EBITDA at the measurement date. 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 the usefulness of comparing such performance with prior periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the Company’s core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press 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 to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release. While non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating the Company’s own operating results over different periods of time, the Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
