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.

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.
