Second quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

·                  Military revenue of $16.7 million increased 23.6% compared to $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2017.

 

·                  DAS revenue of $21.9 million increased 18.0%, compared to $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. DAS revenue for the quarter was comprised of $16.0 million of build-out project revenue and $5.9 million of access fee revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and is reconciled to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA.”

 

·                  Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.5 million, a decrease of 29.0% compared to $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.

·                  The Company deployed wireless infrastructure to cover an additional 1,000 military beds bringing the total footprint to 337,000 military beds, and added 3,000 incremental subscribers during the quarter. The subscriber penetration rate improved from 42.3% at March 31, 2018 to 43.0% at June 30, 2018.

 

·                  The Company entered into agreements with Tier 1 carriers representing 76 carrier contracts in the first six months of 2018, including 15 in the second quarter of 2018. This compares to 22 carrier contracts in the first six months of 2017, including nine in the second quarter of 2017.

 

·                  The Company successfully launched a commercial trial for a private LTE cellular network on the 3.5 GHz citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL), marking the first known CBRS deployment at a major U.S. airport.

 

Acquisition of Elauwit Networks

 

The Company announced in a press release today that it has agreed to acquire Elauwit Networks, LLC (“Elauwit”), a leading provider of high-speed Wi-Fi and technology solutions to the student and multifamily housing market, for total cash consideration of $28.0 million. The purchase agreement also provides for contingent earn-out consideration for up to an additional $15.0 million based on the achievement of certain revenue targets for the acquired business following the closing of the acquisition during the 2018, 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.

 

Management Commentary

 

“We reported an outstanding second quarter with record quarterly revenue exceeding our guidance range, increasing 21.6% year-over-year to $59.6 million, and record adjusted EBITDA, also exceeding our guidance range, increasing 43.4% year-over-year to $23.5 million,” commented David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. “This growth is the result of consistent execution against our overall strategy to leverage the explosive growth of mobile data and reflects ongoing momentum from our three main business drivers of carrier offload, military and DAS. After a strong first half of the year, we are updating and raising our full year guidance.”

 

Mr. Hagan continued, “As announced today, we were pleased to acquire Elauwit Networks, marking our entry into the student housing and multifamily property (MDU) market. While we considered entering this vertical organically given our success with our military broadband business, we believe this acquisition jumpstarts our efforts by a few years and greatly de-risks the MDU opportunity. Elauwit has been in this market for over 10 years and developed a quality reputation, providing high-speed Wi-Fi to 220 properties across the country. We are excited to leverage our military broadband expertise into this new market segment and are thrilled to welcome the Elauwit team to the Boingo family.”

 

Business Outlook

 

Boingo Wireless is initiating guidance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2018 and is raising guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2018, as follows:

 

Third Quarter 2018

·                  Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $19.0 million to $22.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and is reconciled to net loss attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA — Guidance.”

Conference Call Information

 

Members of Boingo Wireless’ management will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2018 financial results beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT), today, August 1, 2018. To participate in the conference call, investors from the U.S. and Canada should dial (877) 407-9716 and enter the passcode: 13681469 ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time. International callers should dial +1 (201) 493-6779 and enter the same passcode.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Boingo Wireless’ financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boingo Wireless provides Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplemental measures of its performance.

 

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expense, interest and other expense, net, non-controlling interests, and excludes charges or gains that are nonrecurring, infrequent, or unusual. Boingo Wireless believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Boingo’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and other operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of the Company’s performance for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative financial measure to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA for 2017 excludes settlement expense because it represents a non-recurring charge and is not indicative of the underlying performance of the Company’s business operations.

 

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment. Boingo Wireless believes that free cash flow provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating liquidity because it reflects the amount of cash generated by the Company’s operations after the purchases of property and equipment that can be used for strategic opportunities. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative financial measure to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. A reconciliation of the changes for the three and six months

ended June 30, 2018 is set forth in the schedule entitled “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.” The Company’s third quarter and full year 2018 guidance is based on the new standard.

(1)                                 This metric represents the number of active DAS nodes as of the end of the period. A DAS node is a single communications endpoint, typically an antenna, which transmits or receives radio frequency signals wirelessly. This measure is an indicator of the reach of the Company’s DAS network.

(2)                                 This metric represents the number of DAS nodes under contract but not yet active as of the end of the period.

(3)                                 This metric represents the number of paying customers who are on a month-to-month subscription plan at a given period end.

(4)                                 This metric shows how often individuals connect to the Company’s global Wi-Fi network in a given period. The connects include retail and wholesale customers in both customer pay locations and customer free locations where Boingo is a paid service provider or receives revenue sponsorship or promotion fees. The Company counts each connect as a single connect regardless of how many times that individual accesses the network at a given venue during their 24 hour period. This measure is an indicator of paid activity throughout Boingo’s network.
