Dobson Communications Reports Third Quarter 2007 Results


OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 8, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Dobson Communications Corporation (Nasdaq:DCEL) today announced its operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Dobson reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $24.9 million, or $0.14 per share, for the third quarter of 2007. (See Table 1.) For the third quarter of 2006, Dobson reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $25.9 million, or $0.15 per share. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 included an income tax expense of $29.1 million, compared with an income tax benefit of $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2006.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2007 was $153.5 million, an increase of 23.0 percent over EBITDA of $124.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. Please see Table 3 for the reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP measures.

Service revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $274.8 million, an increase of 18.3 percent over service revenue of $232.3 million in the third quarter of 2006. Average revenue per unit (ARPU) was $52.54 for the third quarter of 2007, compared with ARPU of $49.16 for the third quarter in 2006. Data revenue contributed $7.03 to ARPU in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $4.34 in the third quarter of 2006.

Roaming revenue was $98.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 12.2 percent over the same period of 2006. Roaming traffic totaled 1.0 billion minutes of use (MOUs) for the third quarter of 2007, a 23.0 percent increase over the third quarter of 2006. Blended roaming yield was 9.4 cents for the third quarter of 2007.

Dobson noted that third quarter total revenue was 16.6 percent higher than that for the third quarter of 2006. Driving even stronger growth in EBITDA was the fact that total operating expenses grew by only 12.8 percent, despite the recognition of $10.5 million in merger-related costs, most of which were included in general and administrative expense. On June 29, 2007, Dobson Communications announced its agreement to be acquired by AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T).

Cost of service expense was $102.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $88.8 million for the third quarter of 2006. Incollect (off-network) expense was $28.6 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with incollect expense of $22.3 million for the third quarter of 2006.

Marketing and selling expense was $43.5 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared with $42.2 million for the third quarter last year.

General and administrative expense was $59.1 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $47.5 million for the third quarter of 2006.

Subscriber growth

Dobson reported total gross subscriber additions of 186,500 for the third quarter of 2007, compared with 139,500 gross additions in the third quarter of 2006. (See Table 3.)

Postpaid gross additions were 98,200 for the third quarter of 2007, compared with 92,100 postpaid gross additions for the third quarter of 2006.

Postpaid customer churn was 2.01 percent in the third quarter of 2007, compared with 1.95 percent for the third quarter last year.

Consequently, Dobson reported 49,100 net subscriber additions in the third quarter of 2007, comprised of 8,200 postpaid customers, 5,500 prepaid customers, and 35,400 reseller customers. In the third quarter of 2006, Dobson reported 23,500 net additional subscribers, which included the addition of 11,300 postpaid customers, the addition of 14,500 prepaid customers, and a reduction of 2,300 reseller customers. The Company also acquired 1,400 customers during last year's third quarter through two acquisitions in Alaska.

At the end of the third quarter of 2007, 95.3 percent of total customers were on GSM calling plans, compared with 85.8 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2006. Dobson recently mailed letters to its remaining TDMA and analog customers encouraging them to switch to GSM service before March 1, 2008 to avoid interruption of their mobile service. The Company plans to cease offering service on its TDMA and analog networks after that date.

Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2007 were $20.0 million, reflecting the addition of 42 cell sites to Dobson's network and other capital improvements. Between its two principal operating subsidiaries, Dobson Cellular's capital expenditures were $9.9 million, compared with $10.2 million at American Cellular. As of September 30, 2007, Dobson's total network included 3,257 cell sites.

Dobson's balance sheet at September 30, 2007 included $250.0 million in cash, $4.4 million in restricted investments and $1.0 million in short-term investments; $2.7 billion in total debt; and $115.2 million in preferred stock.

Other matters

Given its pending acquisition by AT&T, Dobson will not conduct a conference call to discuss its third quarter results. For further analysis of quarterly results, please see the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which Dobson plans to file Friday, November 9, 2007.

On November 5, 2007, Dobson received notice that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had preliminarily approved a consent decree filed by the U.S. Department of Justice that allows the merger to proceed while requiring that AT&T divest Dobson's operations in three rural service areas -- one in Oklahoma and two in Kentucky -- and the Cellular One brand name that Dobson currently owns, as previously announced. Final approval of the decree will occur after a mandated notice and comment period, but the parties are allowed to close the transaction in the interim.

A review of the merger of Dobson with AT&T is pending with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). Dobson is hopeful that the approval process with the FCC will be completed and expects to close promptly after receipt of that approval. There can be no assurance, however, that the merger will become effective. The merger may become effective this year, on a later date, or not at all, and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to closing set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 29, 2007, among Dobson, AT&T Inc. and Alpine Merger Sub, Inc.

Dobson Communications is a leading provider of wireless phone services to rural and suburban markets in the United States. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the Company owns wireless operations in 17 states. For additional information, please visit its web site at www.dobson.net.

 (a) EBITDA is defined as net income before gain on disposition of
     operating assets, depreciation and amortization, interest
     expense, loss on redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred
     stock, dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, loss
     from extinguishment of debt, other income, net, minority interest
     in income of subsidiaries and income tax (expense) benefit. We
     believe that EBITDA provides meaningful additional information
     concerning a company's operating results and its ability to
     service its long- term debt and other fixed obligations and to
     fund its continued growth. Many financial analysts consider
     EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of an entity's ability to
     meet its future financial obligations, and they consider growth
     in EBITDA to be an indicator of future profitability, especially
     in a capital intensive industry such as wireless communications.
     You should not construe EBITDA as an alternative to net loss as
     determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles, or GAAP, as an alternative to cash flows from
     operating activities in accordance with GAAP or a measure of
     liquidity. Because EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by
     all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled
     measures of other companies.


 (b) For the three months ended September 30, 2007, dilutive shares
     include potentially dilutive shares from option grants, our
     series F convertible preferred stock and our convertible debt.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, dilutive shares
     include potentially dilutive shares from option grants. Our
     series F convertible preferred stock and our convertible debt is
     anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
