Windstream reports first-quarter results

Company affirms full-year financial guidance

Release date: May 8, 2014

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Windstream (Nasdaq: WIN) today reported first-quarter results highlighted by improved year-over-year revenue trends and strong adjusted free cash flow.

“Total revenue trends improved both year-over-year and sequentially as wholesale pressures began to abate,” said Jeff Gardner, president and CEO. “We are very focused on improving business revenue trends and are taking many proactive steps to accelerate sales and strengthen our competitive position. In addition, we are investing in both the business and consumer network to drive growth opportunities and improve the customer experience.”

Pro Forma Financial Results

Total revenues and sales were $1.5 billion in the first quarter, a decline of 2 percent from the same period a year ago.

Excluding carrier service revenue, business service revenue was $748 million, largely flat year-over-year. Data and integrated services grew 3 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year ago to $414 million due to sales of IP-based solutions and next generation data. Data center and managed services revenues, which total approximately $30 million, increased 23 percent from the same period a year ago.

Enterprise customer locations grew 3 percent from the same period a year ago, and average revenue per business customer increased 8 percent year-over-year.

Windstream implemented new initiatives during the quarter to enhance business sales and productivity. The company also launched an expanded advertising campaign to increase brand awareness and highlight its integrated value proposition and customized service.

“We are seeing positive momentum as the new marketing program gains traction. This momentum, combined with pricing initiatives planned for mid-year, should result in improving business revenue trends,” Gardner said.

Carrier revenue was $162 million, down 3 percent from the same period a year ago, pressured by wireless carriers decommissioning legacy circuits and other transport related network grooming. The decline was partially offset by solid growth in fiber-to-the-tower revenues. Windstream deployed fiber to 95 towers during the quarter, bringing the total number of towers completed to date to almost 4,600 with another 300 under construction.

Consumer broadband service revenues in the first quarter were $120 million, up 2 percent from the same period in 2013. Broadband subscriber additions were essentially flat, representing the best performance in the last six quarters.

Overall consumer service revenues in the first quarter were $313 million, a decrease of 4 percent from the same period a year ago.

“We achieved meaningful financial and operating improvements in our consumer business in the quarter. This progress was driven by an increased focus on marketing and sales, as well as network enhancements and expansion,” Gardner said.

Wholesale revenues in the first quarter were $142 million, a decrease of 7 percent from the same period a year ago primarily due to a decline in switched access revenue from lower intrastate access rates and fewer minutes of use.

In the first quarter, adjusted OIBDA was $540 million and adjusted capital expenditures were $153 million. Adjusted free cash flow was $314 million, an increase of 27 percent year-over-year due to declining fiber-to-the-tower investments and lower cash interest. The company returned $150 million to shareholders in the form of dividends during the quarter.

Windstream also affirmed its previously provided financial guidance for 2014. Guidance includes total revenue for the year within a range of a 2.5 percent decline to a 1 percent increase as compared to 2013 revenue; adjusted capital expenditures ranging from $800 million to $850 million, and adjusted free cash flow of $775 million to $885 million, resulting in a dividend payout ratio ranging from 68 percent to 78 percent for the year.

GAAP Financial Results

In the first quarter under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Windstream reported total revenues and sales of $1.46 billion and net income of $16 million, or 2 cents per share. That compares to total revenues and sales of $1.50 billion and net income of $52 million, or 9 cents per share, during the same period in 2013.

GAAP results include approximately 2 cents in after-tax merger and integration, restructuring and other expense. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings per share would have been 4 cents for the first quarter.

Windstream claims the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual future events and results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Windstream’s 2014 guidance for revenue, adjusted OIBDA, adjusted capital expenditures, adjusted free cash flow, dividend payout ratio and cash tax payments for 2014. These statements, along with other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Windstream’s business outlook, expectations for improved revenue trends and sales growth, adjusted OIBDA margins for 2014, current capital allocation strategy, capital expenditure levels, current dividend practice, the company’s ability to generate, and amount of, cash flows in future periods, and completion of systems conversion, are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions that Windstream believes are reasonable but are not guarantees of future events and results. Actual future events and results of Windstream may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in Windstream’s forward-looking statements include, among others:


•	further adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by Windstream;


•	the extent, timing and overall effects of competition in the communications business;


•	the impact of new, emerging or competing technologies;


•	for certain operations where Windstream leases facilities from other carriers, adverse effects on the availability, quality of service and price of facilities and services provided by other carriers on which Windstream’s services depend;


•	the uncertainty regarding the implementation of the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") rules on intercarrier compensation adopted in 2011, and the potential for the adoption of further rules by the FCC or Congress on intercarrier compensation and/or universal service reform proposals that result in a significant loss of revenue to Windstream;


•	unfavorable rulings by state public service commissions in proceedings regarding universal service funds, intercarrier compensation or other matters that could reduce revenues or increase expenses;


•	material changes in the communications industry that could adversely affect vendor relationships with equipment and network suppliers and customer relationships with wholesale customers;


•	earnings on pension plan investments significantly below Windstream’s expected long term rate of return for plan assets or a significant change in the discount rate;


•	unfavorable results of litigation or intellectual property infringement claims asserted against Windstream;


•	the company’s ability to continue to pay dividends, which may be affected by changes in the company’s cash requirements, capital spending plan, cash tax payment obligations, or financial position, and which is subject to the company’s capital allocation policy and may be changed at any time by the discretion of Windstream’s board of directors;


•	unanticipated increases or other changes in the company’s future cash requirements, whether caused by unanticipated increases in capital expenditures, increases in pension funding requirements, or otherwise;


•	the availability and cost of financing in the corporate debt markets;


•	the potential for adverse changes in the ratings given to Windstream’s debt securities by nationally accredited ratings organizations;


•	the risks associated with non-compliance by Windstream with regulations or statutes applicable to government programs under which Windstream receives material amounts of end user revenue and government subsidies, or non-compliance by Windstream, its partners, or its subcontractors with any terms of its government contracts;


•	the risks associated with the integration of acquired businesses or the ability to realize anticipated synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities;


•	the effects of federal and state legislation, and rules and regulations governing the communications industry;


•	continued loss of consumer voice lines and consumer high-speed Internet customers;


•	the impact of equipment failure, natural disasters or terrorist acts;


•	the effects of work stoppages by Windstream employees or employees of other communications companies on whom Windstream relies for service; and


•	those additional factors under "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I of Windstream’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Windstream undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors that could cause Windstream’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties that may affect Windstream’s future results included in other filings by Windstream with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING INCOME AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES UNDER GAAP TO PRO FORMA

ADJUSTED OIBDA AND PRO FORMA ADJUSTED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Windstream Holdings, Inc ("Windstream", "we", "us", "our") has disclosed in our Form 8-K furnished on May 8, 2014, that we have presented in this press release unaudited pro forma results, which excludes all merger and integration costs resulting from strategic transactions. In addition to pro forma adjustments, we have presented certain measures of our operating performance, excluding the impact of restructuring charges, pension (benefit) expense and share-based compensation. We have made certain reclassifications and revisions to prior periods to conform with the current year presentation.

Our purpose for excluding non-recurring items, restructuring charges, pension and share-based compensation is to improve the comparability of our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, to the same period of 2013 in order to focus on the true earnings capacity associated with providing telecommunication services. Additionally, management believes that presenting pro forma measures assists investors by providing more meaningful comparisons of results from current and prior periods, and by providing information that is a better reflection of the core earnings capacity of our current operations. We use pro forma results, including pro forma OIBDA, pro forma adjusted OIBDA, pro forma capital expenditures and adjusted free cash flow as key measures of the operational performance of our business. Our management, including our chief executive officer, the chief operating decision-maker, consistently uses these measures for internal reporting and the evaluation of business objectives, opportunities and performance.

We claim the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual future events and results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectation to maintain our current dividend practice at the current rate of dividend, expected levels of support from universal service funds or other government programs, expected rates of loss of voice lines or inter-carrier compensation, expected increases in business data connections, our expected ability to fund operations, expected required contributions to our pension plan, capital expenditures, cash income tax payments, and certain debt maturities from cash flows from operations, expected synergies and other benefits from completed acquisitions, expected effective federal income tax rates, the amounts expected to be received from the Rural Utilities Service to fund a portion of our broadband stimulus projects and the expected benefits of those projects and forecasted capital expenditure amounts. These and other forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable but are not guarantees of future events and results. Actual future events and our results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in our forward-looking statements include, among others: further adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by us; the extent, timing and overall effects of competition in the communications business; the impact of new, emerging or competing technologies; for certain operations where we lease facilities from other carriers, adverse effects on the availability, quality of service and price of facilities and services provided by other carriers on which our services depend; the uncertainty regarding the implementation of the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") rules on intercarrier compensation adopted in 2011, the potential for the adoption of further rules by the FCC or Congress on intercarrier compensation and/or universal service reform proposals that result in a significant loss of revenue to us; unfavorable rulings by state public service commissions in proceedings regarding universal service funds, inter-carrier compensation or other matters that could reduce revenues or increase expenses; material changes in the communications industry that could adversely affect vendor relationships with equipment and network suppliers and customer relationships with wholesale customers; earnings on pension plan investments significantly below our expected long term rate of return for plan assets or a significant change in the discount rate; unfavorable results of litigation or intellectual property infringement claims asserted against us; our ability to continue to pay dividends, which may be affected by changes in our cash requirements, capital spending plan, cash tax payment obligations, or financial position, and which is subject to our capital allocation policy and may be changed at any time at the discretion of our board of directors; unanticipated increases or other changes in our future cash requirements, whether caused by unanticipated increases in capital expenditures, increases in pension funding requirements, or otherwise; the availability and cost of financing in the corporate debt markets; the potential for adverse changes in the ratings given to our debt securities by nationally accredited ratings organizations; the risks associated with non-compliance by us with regulations or statutes applicable to government programs under which we receive material amounts of end user revenue and government subsidies, or non-compliance by us, our partners, or our subcontractors with any terms of our government contracts; the risks associated with the integration of acquired businesses or the ability to realize anticipated synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities; the effects of federal and state legislation, and rules and regulations governing the communications industry; continued loss of consumer voice lines and consumer high-speed Internet customers; the impact of equipment failure, natural disasters or terrorist acts; the effects of work stoppages by our employees or employees of other communications companies on whom we rely for service; and those additional factors under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

In addition to these factors, actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially because of more general factors including, among others, general industry and market conditions and growth rates, economic conditions, and governmental and public policy changes. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results included in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
