Item 8.01          Other Events.

 

With the continued increase in Zayo Group Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) scope and scale, effective October 1, 2015 the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, implemented certain organizational changes to the management and operation of the business that directly impacts how the CODM makes resource allocation decisions and manages the Company. The change in structure had the impact of establishing a new reportable segment and re-aligning the Company’s existing Strategic Product Groups (“SPGs”) to the revised reportable segments.  Prior to this change, the operating segments were reported as Physical Infrastructure which included the Company’s Dark Fiber, Mobile Infrastructure Group (“MIG”) and Zayo Colocation (“zColo”) SPGs, Cloud and Connectivity which included the Company’s Waves, SONET, Ethernet, IP and Cloud SPGs, and Other which primarily included the Company’s Zayo Professional Services (“ZPS”) SPG.  The new structure has removed the zColo and Cloud SPG’s out of the Physical Infrastructure and Cloud and Connectivity reporting segments, respectively, creating a new reportable segment name Zayo Colocation and Cloud Infrastructure (“ZCC”). The Dark Fiber and MIG SPGs are now reported as Dark Fiber Solutions, and Ethernet, IP, Waves, and SONET, are now reported in the Network Connectivity operating segment.

 

The Company’s Revised Segments are further described below:

 

Dark Fiber Solutions. Through the Dark Fiber Solutions segment, the Company provides raw bandwidth infrastructure to customers that require more control of their internal networks. These services include dark fiber and mobile infrastructure (fiber-to-the-tower and small cell). Dark fiber is a physically separate and secure, private platform for dedicated bandwidth. The Company leases dark fiber pairs (usually 2 to 12 total fibers) to its customers, who “light” the fiber using their own optronics. The Company’s mobile infrastructure services provide direct fiber connections to cell towers, small cells, hub sites, and mobile switching centers. Dark Fiber Solutions customers include carriers and other communication service providers, Internet service providers, wireless service providers, major media and content companies, large enterprises, and other companies that have the expertise to run their own fiber optic networks or require interconnected technical space. The contract terms in the Dark Fiber Solutions segment generally tend to range from three to twenty years.

 

Network Connectivity. The Network Connectivity segment provides bandwidth infrastructure solutions over the Company’s metro, regional, and long-haul fiber networks where it uses optronics to light the fiber and the Company’s customers pay for access based on the amount and type of bandwidth they purchase. The Company’s services within this segment include wavelength, Ethernet, IP and SONET. The Company targets customers who require a minimum of 10G of bandwidth across their networks. Network Connectivity customers include carriers, financial services companies, healthcare, government institutions, education institutions and other enterprises. The contract terms in this segment tend to range from two to five years.

 

Colocation and Cloud Infrastructure. The Colocation and Cloud Infrastructure segment provides data center infrastructure solutions to a broad range of enterprise, carrier, content and cloud customers. The Company’s services within this segment include colocation, interconnection, cloud, hosting and managed services, such as security and remote hands offerings. Solutions range in size from single cabinet and server support to comprehensive international outsourced IT infrastructure environments. The Company’s datacenters also support a large component of the Company’s networking equipment for the purpose of aggregating and distributing data, voice, Internet, and video traffic. The contract terms in this segment tend to range from two to five years

 

Other. The Other segment is primarily comprised of ZPS. ZPS provides network and technical resources to customers in designing, acquiring and maintaining their networks. Services are typically provided for a term of one year for a fixed recurring monthly fee in the case of network and on an hourly basis for technical resources (usage revenue).

 

Effective October 1, 2015 financial results and operating metrics for all of the Company’s products are included in one of the Company’s segments. This segment structure will be recast for all prior periods presented for comparability in the Company’s future filings with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.

 

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) to reclassify historical segment information in accordance with the Company’s new reportable segment structure. Exhibit 99.1 hereto updates the reportable segment information presented in the press release presented on November 10, 2015 only to the extent this information is impacted by the realignment of our reportable segments.
