Boingo Exceeds Second Quarter Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance; Raises Full Year Revenue Guidance


Boingo Wireless (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, today announced the company's financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $34.3 million increased 20.7% compared to $28.4 million in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $5.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million increased 17.8% compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Operational Highlights

  • Signed 16 DAS carrier contracts during the second quarter, bringing the year-to-date total as of June 30, 2015 to over 30 contracts and representing the largest year for DAS carrier sales in the Company's history.
  • High-speed Wi-Fi and IPTV (News - Alert) now covering over 160,000 beds on U.S. military bases.
  • Recently announced a global Wi-Fi roaming agreement with Deutsche Telekom AG to extend Boingo's global Wi-Fi network to Deutsche Telekom's business customers in more than 50 countries.

Key Business Metrics

  • Connects of 25.8 million, an increase of 27.2% compared to 20.3 million in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Retail subscribers of 225,000, a decrease of 24.0% compared to 296,000 in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Military subscribers of 40,000 compared to 4,000 in the second quarter of 2014.
  • DAS nodes of 9,500, an increase of 25.0% compared to 7,600 in the second quarter of 2014.

Management Commentary

"I'm pleased to announce that Boingo's strong momentum continued into the second quarter, making it a record breaking quarter in a number of ways," said David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. "For the second sequential quarter, we exceeded the high end of our guidance for revenue and adjusted EBITDA, providing us with incremental flexibility to re-invest in our growth initiatives and enabling us to raise our full year revenue guidance. Our performance was once again led by military, DAS and wholesale Wi-Fi."

Mr. Hagan continued, "DAS, coming off a record first quarter, was even stronger in the second quarter. Through the first six months of 2015, we signed more than 30 long-term DAS contracts with the big four Tier One carriers, making this our biggest year ever for DAS contracts. Wholesale Wi-Fi, led by carrier offload, had a record breaking quarter as well with offload traffic growing week over week as millions of customers move through our Passpoint-enabled airports and are seamlessly connected to Wi-Fi as easily and as safely as cellular. Our military build-out also progressed as we crossed over 160,000 beds on U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps bases by the end of the second quarter."

Mr. Hagan concluded, "The significant investments we've been making in DAS, military and network upgrades are paying off and will continue to be key drivers of future growth. The momentum we're experiencing echoes the strength that we are seeing in the overall wireless infrastructure market, particularly around network densification, Wi-Fi proliferation and network traffic growth. Boingo remains very well-positioned to capitalize on these trends."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Boingo Wireless' financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boingo Wireless provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests and interest and other (income) expense, net.

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 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.
