We are pleased with our solid 2011 fourth quarter financial results as evidence of the purposeful execution of our strategic plan.  Continued revenue growth combined with record adjusted EBITDA, both quarterly and full-year, was underpinned by healthy performance from the company-controlled colocation and managed hosting product lines,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap.   “As we look forward into 2012, the acquisition of enterprise Cloud/Hosting provider Voxel, the scheduled opening of our Los Angeles datacenter and the expansion of our Atlanta datacenter provide compelling opportunities to accelerate the profitable growth of our IT Infrastructure Services business.”

Revenue
 
 
Revenue for the full-year 2011 was $244.6 million compared with $244.2 million in 2010.  Annual revenue growth attributable to our Data center services segment was largely offset by a decline in IP services.  Revenue for the fourth quarter 2011 totaled $62.8 million, an increase of 5 percent year-over-year and 1 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011.  Quarterly revenue from Data center services increased year-over-year and sequentially.  IP services revenue in the quarter decreased year-over-year and compared with the third quarter of 2011.

 
Data center services revenue for the full-year 2011 increased by 4 percent to $133.5 million.  Fourth quarter Data center services revenue was $35.3 million, up 11 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and 4 percent over the third quarter of 2011.  The annual increase was partially offset by our completed program to proactively churn certain less profitable customer contracts in partner data center sites which impacted first quarter 2011 revenue due to the timing of contracts exited in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Revenue growth in managed hosting and core colocation also drove the majority of the sequential quarterly segment improvement.
 
 
 
In IP services, revenue for the full-year 2011 decreased $4.8 million to $111.2 million.  Fourth quarter 2011 IP services revenue totaled $27.5 million, a decrease of 3 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2 percent sequentially.  Increased IP traffic only partly offset reductions in IP pricing for new and renewing customers and losses of legacy contracts at higher effective prices.
 
Net (Loss) Income
 
 
GAAP net loss was $(1.7) million, or $(0.03) per share for the full-year 2011 compared with GAAP net loss of $(3.6) million, or $(0.07) per share in 2010.  GAAP net income in the fourth quarter was $4.2 million, or $0.08 per share.  The increase in GAAP net income was driven by a $6.1 million partial release of a deferred tax asset which occurred upon completion of our acquisition of Voxel.

 
Normalized net income (loss)2, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $(1.0) million, or $(0.02) per share for the full-year 2011. Normalized net income for the full-year 2010 totaled $2.4 million, or $0.05 per share. Normalized net income in the fourth quarter 2011 was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share.  Both full-year and fourth quarter 2011 normalized net income exclude the benefit from partial release of the deferred tax asset noted above.
 
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
 
 
Total segment profit in 2011 was $124.3 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 6 percent over the prior year.  Total segment profit in the fourth quarter increased 12 percent compared with the fourth quarter 2010 and 5 percent sequentially to $32.9 million.  Annual segment margin was 50.8 percent in 2011, an increase of 300 basis points over 2010.  Fourth quarter 2011 segment margin was 52.4 percent, up 330 basis points year-over-year and 200 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2011.

 
Annual Data center services segment profit grew 20 percent over 2010 to $54.5 million.  Fourth quarter segment profit in data center services was $15.2 million, up 24 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010.  Data center services segment profit margin in 2011 totaled 40.9 percent and fourth quarter 2011 data center services segment margin was 42.9 percent. These figures represent the highest annual and quarterly Data center segment profit and margin levels in the history of the company.  More higher-margin company-controlled colocation and managed hosting revenue benefited Data center services segment margin compared with the full-year and fourth quarter of 2010.  Sequentially, lower power costs and increased core colocation and managed hosting revenue drove Data center services segment profit and margin higher.

 
IP services segment profit for the full-year and the fourth quarter 2011 was $69.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively.  IP Segment profit in 2011 fell 2 percent due to lower revenue.  For the fourth quarter of 2011, network consolidation and vendor management initiatives more than offset lower revenue, driving year-over-year and sequential increases in IP services segment profit.  IP services segment margin in 2011 was 62.8 percent; in the fourth quarter of 2011 it totaled 64.5 percent.

Full-year 2011 adjusted EBITDA was $43.4 million, the highest annual adjusted EBITDA in the company’s history.  Fourth quarter 2011 adjusted EBITDA increased 23 percent year-over-year and 12 percent sequentially to $12.6 million; also a record quarterly level.  Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.7 percent in 2011 and 20.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, representing year-over-year increases of 160 basis points and 300 basis points, respectively.  Sequentially, fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 190 basis points. The year-over-year increases in adjusted EBITDA were driven by higher segment profit, partially offset by higher cash operating expenses.
 
Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $29.8 million at December 31, 2011. Total debt, net of discount, was $99.4 million at the end of the quarter, including $41.1 million in capital lease obligations.

 
Cash generated from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $28.6 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were $68.6 million.
 
Recent Operational Highlights
 
Historical trends of key financial and operational metrics can be found in a supplementary data schedule on Internap’s website at http://ir.internap.com/results.cfm.

 
On December 30, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Voxel Holdings, Inc., a provider of scalable hosting and cloud services for the enterprise, in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $30 million plus an additional potential $5 million in cash tied to the delivery of specific objectives during the next two years.
 
 
As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 3,700 customers, which included 1,000 Voxel hosting customers.

 
In December, we amended our credit facility to increase borrowing capacity by $40 million, bringing our total bank facility to $119 million.  The total amended facility is comprised of a revolver of $60 million and a term loan of $59 million at a rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points.

 
With a 10-month design and construction process complete, we opened our Dallas/Fort Worth premium data center in December.  This facility will total 55,000 net sellable square feet at full deployment and features the latest in data center design techniques including in-row cooling options and close coupled liquid cooling solutions that enable high-density configurations of up to 12kW per rack.

 
After Internap was named to the InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America in September, IDG Computerworld honored us in October as one of its 12 top Green IT vendors for 2011.

 
The U.S. Green Building Council recently awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification to our Santa Clara data center. In addition to receiving LEED certification, this facility became the first commercial data center in the U.S. to achieve the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globe® certification in June 2011.

NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES
 
In addition to providing financial measurements based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), Internap has historically provided additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”), including adjusted EBITDA, normalized net income (loss), normalized diluted shares outstanding, segment profit and segment margin. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to adjusted EBITDA and normalized net income (loss) is loss from operations and net loss, respectively. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to normalized diluted shares outstanding is diluted common shares outstanding.
 
We define non-GAAP measures as follows:
 
 
Adjusted EBITDA is loss from operations plus depreciation and amortization, loss on disposals of property and equipment, impairments and restructuring and stock-based compensation.
 
 
Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
 
 
Normalized net income (loss) is net income (loss) excluding restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation and certain items management considers non-recurring.
 
 
Normalized diluted shares outstanding are diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in GAAP net loss per share calculations, excluding the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method.
 
 
Normalized net income (loss) per share is normalized net income (loss) divided by basic and normalized diluted shares outstanding.
 
 
Segment profit is segment revenues less direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization for the segment, as presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Segment profit does not include direct costs of customer support, direct costs of amortization of acquired technologies or any other depreciation or amortization associated with direct costs.
 
 
Segment margin is segment profit as a percentage of segment revenues.
 
We detail reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures below. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.
 
We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization and loss on disposals of property and equipment, as well as impairments and restructuring, to calculate adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to investors’ understanding of Internap’s core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on management estimates of remaining useful lives. Loss on disposals of property and equipment is also based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on replacement costs. Impairments and restructuring expenses primarily reflect goodwill impairments and subsequent plan adjustments in sublease income assumptions for certain properties included in our previously disclosed restructuring plans.

NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)
 
Internap believes that impairment and restructuring charges are unique costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a normal component of expenses related to current and ongoing operations.
 
Similarly, we believe that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of Internap’s core operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding stock-based compensation as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results.
 
We also believe that, in excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, our non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what management uses to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and to establish certain management compensation.
 
Stock-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP net loss and net loss per share information by providing normalized net income (loss) and normalized net income (loss) per share, excluding the effect of impairments, restructuring and stock-based compensation in all periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We consider normalized diluted shares to be another important indicator of our overall performance because it eliminates the effect of non-cash items.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to — not a substitute for — our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Our statements of cash flows present our cash flow activity in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
 
We believe adjusted EBITDA is used by and is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:
 
 
EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and
 
 
investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of disposals of property and equipment, impairments, restructuring and stock-based compensation which vary widely from company-to-company and impair comparability.

NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)
 
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA:
 
 
as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis;
 
 
as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and
 
 
in communications with the board of directors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.
 
Our presentation of segment profit and segment margin excludes direct costs of customer support, depreciation and amortization in order to allow investors to see the business through the eyes of management. Management views direct costs of network, sales and services as generally less controllable, external costs and management regularly monitors the margin of revenues in excess of these direct costs. Similarly, we view the costs of customer support to also be an important component of costs of revenues but believe that the costs of customer support to be more within our control and to some degree discretionary as we can adjust those costs by hiring and terminating employees.
 
Segment margin is an important metric to our investors and analysts, as we have regularly discussed and disclosed the effects of third party vendors’ pricing declines and the corresponding effect on our revenues. The presentation of segment margin highlights the impact of the pricing declines and allows investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to direct costs of network, sales and services. Conversely, we have much greater latitude in controlling the compensation component of costs of revenues, represented by customer support, and we analyze this component separately from the direct external costs.
 
We also have excluded depreciation and amortization from segment profit and segment margin because, as noted above, they are based on estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. Further, depreciation and amortization are based on historical costs incurred to build out our deployed network and the historical costs of these assets may not be indicative of current or future capital expenditures.
 
Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.
