ATN Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results


Alaska Communications Acquisition Drives 49% Year-on-Year Consolidated Revenue Growth

  • International Telecom Continues to Generate Subscriber and Revenue Growth

Alaska Communications Performed in Line with Expectations

Expanding Domestic Network Reach to Grow High Speed Data Revenue and Customers 

BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATN International, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATNI) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Business Review and Outlook

Michael Prior, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The Alaska Communications acquisition has significantly increased the scale of ATN’s domestic operations and has opened additional opportunities for us to pursue growth initiatives that also provide significant social and economic benefits by bringing high speed connectivity to the communities we serve.

“The addition of approximately ten weeks of Alaska Communications operations was the major driver of a nearly three-fold increase in our US Telecom segment revenues, with fiber-based services to enterprise, government, wholesale and residential customers representing the majority of that growth.  Higher FirstNet construction revenues also contributed to the increase. Additionally, we experienced growth in our legacy domestic business in the western U.S. due to higher consumer broadband revenues following our late 2020 build out of rural broadband networks under various government programs and public-private initiatives.  ATN now owns and operates approximately 6,000 fiber route miles in the U.S., and with more federal government funding becoming available to help connect rural communities to true high speed data access, we have allocated additional resources to capture opportunities to build-out rural middle mile fiber networks and fiber and fixed wireless connections. This is a priority for the strategic transformation of our legacy domestic wholesale roaming business into a broader fiber-based communications platform, and it is in keeping with our corporate mission of bringing reliable and affordable access to the modern communications infrastructure to historically underbuilt areas.

“International Telecom revenue increased in the third quarter, reflecting the positive performance of several of our key international markets, where upgrades and expansions of our networks and effective marketing campaigns have resulted in continued subscriber growth. We are pleased with the third quarter and year-to-date revenue performance of this segment and see additional growth opportunities on the horizon. Higher expense levels in part reflected a difficult comparison with the unusually low operating costs we had during the pandemic and increased regulatory costs. While supply chain disruptions have not had a material effect on our business year-to-date, we continue to monitor this potential given its impact on other communications infrastructure and technology companies.

“Looking ahead, we see opportunities to drive additional revenue growth in both of our business segments. We are continuing to expand our networks and offerings in several of our International Telecom markets   where we see the potential to increase penetration and market share.  Domestically, in addition to rural network buildouts in the “lower 48”, we continue to upgrade and extend our fiber network in Alaska, adding wholesale, enterprise and residential connections to grow our customer base utilizing that expanded network reach and capability,” Mr. Prior noted.

Third Quarter 2021 Results

Third quarter 2021 consolidated revenues of $166.8 million were up 49% compared to the prior year quarter’s revenue of $111.7 million.  The Company closed the acquisition of Alaska Communications in late July, which contributed $46.8 million to third quarter revenues.  The third quarter of 2021 had an operating loss of $1.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $36.8 million, compared with the prior year quarter’s operating income of $9.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $31.2 million.  The decrease in operating income was mostly the result of increased transaction-related fees and amortization expenses from the consolidation of Alaska Communications results.  The Adjusted EBITDA2 increase was due to the addition of $10.6 million from Alaska Communications, partially offset by a net decline in the International Telecom segment.  The net loss attributable to ATN’s stockholders for the third quarter was $2.6 million, and a $0.22 loss per share, compared with the prior year period’s net income attributable to ATN’s stockholders of $2.7 million, or $0.17 income per diluted share.

Third Quarter 2021 Operating Highlights
The Company recorded financial results during the third quarter of 2021 in three categories: (i) International Telecom; (ii) US Telecom; and (iii) All Other.  For the purposes of the below presentation, the Company’s Renewable Energy segment has been combined with Corporate and Other as “All Other”.

The Company completed its acquisition of Alaska Communications on July 22, 2021, and the consolidated results are included in the Company’s US Telecom segment.

International Telecom

International Telecom revenues are generated by delivery of a broad range of communications and managed IT services, including data, voice and video services from the Company’s fixed and mobile network operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean, and include direct government payments as part of the FCC high-cost support program in the USVI.  International Telecom revenues were $85.3 million for the quarter, a 3% increase year-on-year mainly due to subscriber and ARPU growth which drove increases in mobility and fixed revenues in multiple markets, partially offset by the loss of $1.4 million in FCC high-cost support in the USVI.  Carrier services revenues also increased as travel and tourism increased in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Operating expenses increased in most of the markets compared with the prior year as operating expenses returned to normalized pre-pandemic levels and due to the introduction of higher regulatory fees in Guyana earlier in 2021.  As a result, when compared with the prior year quarter, operating income of $13.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 of $26.9 million decreased by 18% and 10%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2021.

US Telecom

US Telecom revenues consist of broadband, carrier services, managed IT services, fixed enterprise, and mobile retail revenues from the Company’s networks and operations in Alaska and in the western United States, including various government programs such as CAF II, E-Rate, Lifeline and rural healthcare support programs.  US Telecom segment revenues were $81.5 million in the quarter, up $53.4 million from the prior year period.  This increase was mostly due to the addition of $46.8 million of revenues from Alaska Communications, as well as $6.0 million of increased construction revenue related to the FirstNet contract build.  Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter was $16.4 million compared to the prior year period’s Adjusted EBITDA2 of $7.9 million.  This increase was driven by the addition of the Alaska Communications results of $10.6 million partially offset by approximately $2.0 million of additional expenses in our private network operations. For the segment, the current period’s operating loss was $9.8 million compared to the prior year’s operating income of $2.2 million, primarily due to $8.8 million of transaction-related fees and amortization expense related to the Alaska Communications acquisition and the additional expenses in our private network operations.  

By the end of the third quarter of 2021, the Company had completed and activated approximately 50% of the total sites related to the network build portion of its FirstNet Agreement and expects to complete an additional 15% of the total build by the end of 2021.  Revenues from the build will continue to be largely offset by construction costs. 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on September 30, 2021 totaled $102.4 million.  On July 22, 2021 the Company completed the acquisition of Alaska Communications for approximately $339.5 million.  The acquisition was funded through a draw under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility of which $65.0 million is outstanding, an equity contribution from our financial partner and proceeds from Alaska Communications new credit agreement that is non-recourse to the Company.  At the end of the quarter, Alaska Communications had outstanding a $210.0 million term loan facility and $10.0 million drawn under its $35.0 million revolving facility. 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $71.6 million for the prior year period.  The decline in operating cash flow compared with the prior year is mostly the result of a current year decrease in operating income and a $25.7 million increase in the FirstNet construction customer receivable.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used net cash of $50.3 million for investing and financing activities compared to $97.6 million for the prior year period.  The net use of cash was primarily attributable to $339.5 million used to purchase Alaska Communications offset by net borrowings of $285.0 million and $71.5 million of partner equity contributions, mentioned above, $70.9 million in capital expenditures, $13.1 million of purchases of minority equity interests in our subsidiaries, $13.0 million in repurchases of Company common stock and dividends to Company stockholders, and $4.8 million in minority partner distributions.  These uses of cash were partially offset by $7.1 million in grants received, $18.6 million in net proceeds received from the completion of the Vibrant Energy equity sale and $27.5 million in new borrowings under the FirstNet receivables credit facility.
