Consolidated Communications Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results


  • Delivered a strong quarter of growth in data adds and fiber to the cell sites
  • Increased year over year commercial and carrier revenue by 3.0%
  • Grew Metro E circuits by 25% year over year
  • Reached approximately 65% of the two year, $17 million synergy target for Enventis

MATTOON, Ill., Nov. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNSL) (the "Company") reported results for the third quarter 2015.  

Third quarter financial summary:

  • Revenue was $194.0 million.
  • Net cash from operations was $71.8 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $89.4 million.
  • Dividend payout ratio was 54.0%.

"The third quarter was another solid quarter of results as we continued to execute on our strategy and delivered cash flows providing a comfortable dividend payout ratio," said Bob Udell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We added over 3,300 net data subscribers and the strong growth in our data services drove commercial and carrier revenues higher by 3.0% over last year."

"It has been one year since the close of the Enventis acquisition, and I could not be more pleased with how well the integration has gone. The fiber-centric assets and the culture of the employee base have been a great fit. The acquisition strengthened our market and product diversification and positioned us well for the future," Udell concluded.

Pro Forma Financial Results for the Third Quarter 

We have presented various adjusted pro forma information below and in the tables at the end of the release. This information is presented as if the acquisition of Enventis had occurred on January 1, 2014 in order to provide a better view of the period over period performance for the combined business.

  • Total revenues were $194.0 million, compared to $203.4 million for the same period last year. Excluding revenue from our equipment sales and service, revenues were $179.2 million, compared to $181.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. Solid growth in strategic sales channels were offset by declines in voice services and network access revenues. Equipment sales and service revenues, which are low margin, declined by $7.5 million.  
  • Income from operations was $13.6 million, compared to $25.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to $9.6 million of integration and severance charges tied to the ongoing Enventis synergy efforts and a third quarter early retirement offer that was accepted by certain employees.    
  • Interest expense, net improved by $2.6 million to $19.2 million from $21.8 million for the same period last year. The improvement is primarily due to the use of proceeds from the add-on we completed in June to our 6.5% senior notes due 2022. We used certain of the proceeds to redeem the remaining portion of our outstanding 10 7/8% senior notes.    
  • Other income, net was $10.5 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2014.   
  • Adjusted diluted net income per share excludes certain items in the manner described in the table provided in this release. Adjusted diluted net income per share for the current quarter was $0.18 compared to $0.17 for the pro forma prior year period. 
  • Cash distributions from our Verizon Wireless partnerships were $20.0 million compared to $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2014. The distributions were positively impacted by the cash received for the partnership owned towers that were included as part of the larger Verizon agreement with American Tower. In addition, cash collections from device financing plans are starting to catch up to the increase in receivables over the last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $89.4 million compared to $79.8 million for the same period in 2014.
  • The total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio was 4.22 times to one.

Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

  • Revenues were $587.5 million and adjusted EBITDA was $249.4 million.

Cash Available to Pay Dividends

For the quarter, cash available to pay dividends, or CAPD, was $36.2 million, and the dividend payout ratio was 54.0%. At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $23.9 million. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $34.6 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release, as well as the conference call, includes disclosures regarding "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA", "cash available to pay dividends" and the related "dividend payout ratio", "total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio", "adjusted diluted net income per share" and "adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders", all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and described in this section as not being in compliance with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should not be construed as alternatives to net cash from operating or investing activities, cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP and are not, on their own, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow.

Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of EBITDA, adjusted for certain items as permitted or required by the lenders under our credit agreement in place at the end of each quarter in the periods presented. The tables that follow include an explanation of how adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each of the periods presented with the reconciliation to net income. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a historical basis.   

Cash available to pay dividends represents adjusted EBITDA plus cash interest income less (1) cash interest expense, (2) capital expenditures and (3) cash income taxes; this calculation differs in certain respects from the similar calculation used in our credit agreement. 

We present adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the related dividend payout ratio for several reasons. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio are useful as a means to evaluate our ability to fund our estimated uses of cash (including interest on our debt) and pay dividends. In addition, we have presented adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio to investors in the past because they are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and management believes presenting them here provides a measure of consistency in our financial reporting. Adjusted EBITDA and cash available to pay dividends, referred to as Available Cash in our credit agreement, are also components of the restrictive covenants and financial ratios contained in our credit agreement that requires us to maintain compliance with these covenants and limit certain activities, such as our ability to incur debt and to pay dividends. The definitions in these covenants and ratios are based on adjusted EBITDA and cash available to pay dividends after giving effect to specified charges. In addition, adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio provide our board of directors with meaningful information to determine, with other data, assumptions and considerations, our dividend policy and our ability to pay dividends under the restrictive covenants in our credit agreement and to measure our ability to service and repay debt.  We present the related "total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio" principally to put other non-GAAP measures in context and facilitate comparisons by investors, security analysts and others; this ratio differs in certain respects from the similar ratio used in our credit agreement. These measures differ in certain respects from the ratios used in our Senior Notes indenture. 

These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, adjusted EBITDA does not represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayment and interest payments are not deducted from such measure. Similarly, while we may generate cash available to pay dividends, we are not required to use any such cash to pay dividends, and the payment of any dividends is subject to declaration by our board of directors, compliance with applicable law and the terms of our credit agreement. Because adjusted EBITDA is a component of the dividend payout ratio and the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA, these measures are also subject to the material limitations discussed above. In addition, the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA is subject to the risk that we may not be able to use the cash on the balance sheet to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Management believes these ratios are useful as a means to evaluate our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the future. 

We present the non-GAAP measures adjusted diluted net income per share and adjusted diluted net income attributable to common stockholders because our net income and net income per share are regularly affected by items that occur at irregular intervals or are non-cash items. We believe that disclosing these measures assists investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating both our company over time and the relative performance of the companies in our industry.
