Trilogy International Partners Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

• Robust service revenue growth: Strong postpaid subscriber growth of 10% over the same period last year, contributing to a 10% increase in total service revenues for the quarter
• 9% increase in blended wireless ARPU, led by a 7% increase in postpaid wireless ARPU compared to a year earlier
• Loss from continuing operations improved by 22%, up $3.2 million to ($11.3) million over Q1 2016
• Adjusted EBITDA grew 34% over prior year: Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26% in Q1, an increase from 22% over the first quarter of 2016
• Completed refinancing of Trilogy $450 million notes with new $350 million notes at 8.875%, reducing interest expense by approximately 50%.

BELLEVUE, Washington, May 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trilogy International Partners Inc., (“TIP Inc.”), (TSX:TRL), an international wireless, fixed, and broadband telecommunications operator, today announced its unaudited financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

“Our New Zealand and Bolivian operations made gains in delivering on our core priorities for 2017: driving postpaid subscriber growth and data consumption as well as strong cash generation,” said Brad Horwitz, President and CEO of Trilogy International Partners. “Service revenues of $152 million increased 10% over 2016 driven by postpaid subscriber growth of 10% coupled with an increase in postpaid ARPU of more than 7%, or 3% excluding the impact of foreign currency. Demand for our data offerings continues to expand as data revenue now represents more than 50% of consolidated wireless service revenues. As a result, blended ARPU for Q1 was up more than 9% over last year.”

Loss from continuing operations improved by 22% over the same period. Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million for the consolidated business grew 34% compared to 2016 as operating leverage at 2degrees continues to improve.

“We’ve started the year off positively at both the operating and holdco level. As we have stated previously, our highest priority after closing our equity transaction with Alignvest in the first quarter was to refinance our $450 million senior notes, which carried a 13.375% interest rate. Last week we successfully completed a $350 million debt offering at an interest rate of 8.875%, which will reduce our interest expense by approximately 50%. Our improved capital structure provides a runway for organic growth and also provides flexibility and optionality as we consider M&A alternatives over time.”

Refinancing of Trilogy Senior Notes 

TIP Inc. announced on May 2, 2017, that its subsidiaries, Trilogy International Partners LLC (“Trilogy LLC”) and Trilogy International Finance Inc. (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with Trilogy LLC, the “Issuers”), completed their private offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “New Notes”) previously announced on April 21, 2017. The New Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum, were issued at 99.506% of their face amount and mature in 2022.

The Issuers applied the proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem and discharge all of their outstanding 13.375% senior secured notes due 2019 (the “Old Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and to pay fees and expenses related to this offering and the redemption. The Issuers issued a notice of redemption of the outstanding Old Notes and irrevocably deposited with the trustee under the Indenture for the Old Notes funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness (principal and interest) on the Old Notes to the June 2, 2017 redemption date.

Revenues

The 17% increase in total revenues was a result of

• Significant growth in wireless service revenues driven by a 16% increase in postpaid subscribers, coupled with a 9% increase in postpaid wireless ARPU;
• Strong wireline subscriber growth with the base increasing by 27.6 thousand, or 84%, over the same period last year; and  
• Blended ARPU increasing 13% versus a year ago and 6% excluding the impact of foreign currency.

Adjusted EBITDA 

The 49% increase in first quarter Adjusted EBITDA was a result of

• Continued margin benefit from the year over year growth of the postpaid subscriber base combined with increasing ARPU; partially offset by
  - Cost of service increasing by $4.4 million, mainly attributable to an increase in transmission expense associated with the growth of the broadband business, partially offset by a decline in national roaming expense due to the recent network coverage expansion; and
  - General and administrative expenses increasing by $4.5 million, primarily due to an increase in customer care staffing costs attributable to the first quarter launch of a new business support system, consulting expense and bad debt expense associated with the growth of the postpaid subscriber base.

Capital Expenditures

The $2 million, or 16% decrease, in first quarter capital expenditures was a result of timing as well as the national network expansion project and the development of a new business support system which occurred primarily in 2016.

Revenues  

The 4% decrease in total revenues was primarily the result of voice and SMS revenues declining by $6.9 million, or 18%, partially offset by the impacts of

• Data revenues, excluding SMS, increasing by $6.0 million or 26%. Data revenues now represent 45% of total wireless service revenues, up from 35% during the same quarter last year; and
• Continued LTE adoption with 67.5 thousand additional users added during the quarter. LTE subscribers represent 290.7 thousand or 13.5% of the subscriber base at the end of the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

The 16% increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to

• Cost of service expense decreasing $2.3 million, or 9%, as interconnect costs declined due to lower voice usage; and
• Cost of equipment sales decreasing by $2.8 million, or 40%, due to the launch of an LTE handset promotion in Q1-2016 to stimulate demand for the newly launched LTE data service.

Capital Expenditures

The $11 million, or 81%, decrease in first quarter capital expenditures was a result of timing due to extended vendor renegotiations which occurred during the first quarter of 2017 for LTE overlay and network expansion projects. Capital expenditures are expected to increase for the remainder of 2017.

	Total interest		19.0	15.3	24	%

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily driven by the higher interest rate on the $450 million Trilogy Notes due in 2019.  Subsequent to March 31, 2017, Trilogy refinanced and replaced these notes with the New Notes which will effectively reduce corporate annual interest expense by approximately half, from $60.2 million on an annualized basis to $31.1 million.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased $0.7 million, or 33%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, due to an increase in taxable income for Bolivia.

Other, net

Other, net expense decreased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the gains on foreign currency transactions in New Zealand as a result of the positive impact from the changes in exchange rates between the New Zealand dollar and other currencies in which the transactions are denominated.

	Financing activities		173.1		(1.4	)	nm
	Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents		165.7		11.9		nm

Operating activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities increased by $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This change is mainly due to favorable changes in certain working capital accounts, including a $3.2 million increase in cash proceeds from the sales of EIP receivables.

Investing activities 

Cash flow used in investing activities increased by $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to same period in 2016, primarily due to reduced capital expenditures in Bolivia and New Zealand as network expansion and LTE buildout was more significant in the three months ended March 31, 2016.  In addition, in the same period in the prior year, Trilogy LLC received proceeds of $34.1 million from the sale of Trilogy Dominicana.

Financing activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities increased by $174.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to same period in 2016.  This change is primarily due to the proceeds from the equity issuance in connection with the transaction between Trilogy LLC and AQX that occurred on February 7, 2017 offset by payment of long term debt.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Measures; Basis of Presentation

In managing our business and assessing our financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with several customer-focused performance metrics and non-GAAP financial measures which are utilized by our management to evaluate our performance.  Although we believe these measures are widely used in the wireless industry, some may not be defined by us in precisely the same way as by other companies in the wireless industry, so may not be reliable ways to compare us to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to TIP Inc. excluding amounts for: income tax expense; interest and financing expense, net; depreciation, amortization and accretion; equity-based compensation; net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests; gain (loss) on impairment and disposal of assets; and all other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are common measures of operating performance in the telecommunications industry. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful measures because they allow us to evaluate our performance by removing from our operating results items that do not relate to our core operating performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Trilogy LLC, the most closely analogous GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same.

Other Information

Consolidated financial results – quarterly summary

TIP Inc.’s operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter because of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of TIP Inc.’s operations and business segments. Different products and subscribers have unique seasonal and behavioral features. Accordingly, one quarter’s results are not predictive of future performance. 

Fluctuations in net income from quarter to quarter can also result from losses on the repayment of debt, foreign exchange gains or losses, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, other income and expenses, impairment of assets, and changes in income taxes.

The following table shows selected quarterly financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
