LOS ANGELES — November 1, 2018 — Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider that serves carriers, consumers and advertisers worldwide, today announced the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

·                  Revenue of $65.3 million increased 21.6%, compared to $53.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. Growth was driven by strength in military/multifamily, wholesale Wi-Fi and DAS.

 

·                  Military/multifamily revenue of $21.7 million increased 55.9% compared to $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Wholesale Wi-Fi revenue of $11.7 million increased 41.4%, compared to $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2017.

 

·                  DAS revenue of $24.4 million increased 12.2%, compared to $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. DAS revenue for the quarter was comprised of $18.2 million of build-out project revenue and $6.2 million of access fee revenue.

 

·                  Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(3.5) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA was $23.3 million, an increase of 17.8% compared to $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. 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.”

 

·                  Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.1 million, an increase of 89.7% compared to $20.1 million in the third quarter of 2017.

 

·                  Free cash flow was $8.5 million, compared to $(2.7) million in the third quarter of 2017. Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flows.”

 

Business Highlights

 

·                  The Company launched seven new DAS venue locations during the quarter bringing the total to 54 DAS venues live comprised of 27,400 DAS nodes with another 73 venues and 11,200 nodes in backlog as of September 30, 2018.

·                  The Company deployed wireless infrastructure to cover an additional 3,000 military beds bringing the total footprint to 340,000 military beds on 63 military bases as of September 30, 2018.

 

·                  The Company entered into agreements with Tier 1 carriers representing 88 carrier contracts in the first nine months of 2018, including 12 in the third quarter of 2018. This compares to 34 carrier contracts in the first nine months of 2017.

 

·                  In August 2018, the Company closed the acquisition of Elauwit Networks, LLC, a leading provider of high-speed Wi-Fi and technology solutions to the student and multifamily housing market, for total cash consideration of $28 million, plus up to an additional $15 million in contingent earn-out cash consideration.

 

Convertible Senior Notes Offering

 

On October 5, 2018, the Company completed the offering of $201.25 million in convertible senior notes due 2023, including the $26.25 million over-allotment option, which the initial purchasers exercised in full. The notes have an initial conversion price of approximately $42.31 per share, which represents a 30% premium to the $32.55 per share closing price of Boingo’s common stock on October 2, 2018, the date the Company priced the offering. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $171 million, which includes approximately $24 million in fees for the cost of capped call transactions that increase the effective conversion price from $42.31 to $65.10, or a 100% premium to the closing price of Boingo’s common stock on October 2, 2018. The Company expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, potential acquisitions and strategic transactions.  The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay its obligations under its credit facility and may also use a portion of the net proceeds for ongoing repurchases of common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to vesting and settlement of RSUs.

 

Management Commentary

 

“As a result of consistent execution against our overall strategy to leverage the explosive growth of mobile data, our third quarter revenue exceeded the high-end of our guidance range, increasing 22% year-over-year to $65.3 million,” commented David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. “We also exceeded the high-end of our adjusted EBITDA guidance range with an 18% year-over-year increase to $23.3 million. Our performance during the quarter was driven by strength in military/multifamily through our August 2018 acquisition of Elauwit Networks, LLC and military ARPU growth, wholesale Wi-Fi through increased carrier offload usage and continued strong performance of DAS which was highlighted by the deployment of seven new venues.”

 

Mr. Hagan continued, “While Elauwit has done extremely well growing their business with property owners funding network builds in the multifamily space, we believe there is a meaningful opportunity to grow market share by putting capital to work on a selective basis to increase our win rate. We were very pleased to raise a significant amount of capital through our recent offering of convertible senior notes earlier this month. By strengthening our balance sheet on very attractive terms, we are now better positioned to respond to market opportunities, win new business and build and deploy wireless networks faster.”

 

Business Outlook

 

Boingo Wireless is updating its guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2018, as follows:

 

·                  Revenue is expected to be in the range of $243.0 million to $250.0 million.

 

·                  Net loss attributable to common stockholders is expected to be in the range of $(10.0) million to $(5.0) million, or a net loss of $(0.24) to $(0.12) per diluted share.

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $87.0 million to $92.0 million.

Conference Call Information

 

Members of Boingo Wireless’ management will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2018 financial results beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT), today, November 1, 2018. To participate in the conference call, investors from the U.S. and Canada should dial (877) 407-9716 and enter the passcode: 13683702 ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time. International callers should dial +1 (201) 493-6779 and enter the same passcode. The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at http://investors.boingo.com. In addition, a supplement reflecting the Company’s key business metrics will be made available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website. The supplement and webcast will be archived online upon completion of the conference call.

 

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 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 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.

 

Revenue Recognition Changes

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 is set forth in the schedule entitled “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.” The Company’s 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 the Company 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 the Company’s network.
