MATTOON, Ill., Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Communications Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNSL) (the “Company” or “Consolidated”) reported results for the third quarter 2020.

“Consolidated’s very solid third quarter results demonstrate both the resiliency of our business and strong execution on improving revenue trends, growing adjusted EBITDA and strengthening the balance sheet,” said Bob Udell, president and chief executive officer of Consolidated Communications. “Revenue growth trends in both broadband and data-transport services sequentially and year-over-year combined with lower operating expenses contributed to our strong third quarter results.”

“We’ve made great progress with our capital allocation plan having successfully completed a global debt refinance which extends maturities, significantly increases liquidity and strengthens our balance sheet, enabling us to immediately pivot and implement our growth plans.”

“Our new capitalization coupled with the strategic investment from Searchlight Capital Partners enables us to accelerate our fiber expansion plans and upgrade more than 1 million passings bringing significant benefits to customers. This multi-year, build plan will put us on a path to return to overall revenue growth,” concluded Udell.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter

  • Revenue totaled $327.1 million, a decline of 1.9 percent compared to the third quarter 2019.
    • Data and transport service revenue increased 1.6 percent or $1.4 million;
    • Broadband revenue increased 2.6 percent or $1.7 million;
    • Voice services revenue across all customer channels improved 400 basis points and declined 4.3 percent or $4.0 million; and
    • Network access revenues declined $2.2 million primarily due to declines in special access.
  • Income from operations increased $13.8 million and totaled $37.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to operating expense reductions of $7.2 million offsetting revenue declines. Depreciation and amortization expense declined $12.8 million primarily due to certain acquired assets, which became fully depreciated.
  • Net interest expense was $31.7 million, down $2.6 million from the same period last year, primarily due to declines in variable interest rates on the term loan and repurchases on the Company’s 6.50 percent Senior Notes in prior periods.
  • Cash distributions from the Company’s wireless partnerships totaled $12.3 million, up $1.4 million from a year ago.
  • Other income was $13.5 million compared to income of $11.2 million one year ago primarily due to a reduction in non-operating pension/OPEB expense of $2.0 million.    
  • On a GAAP basis, net income was $14.6 million, compared to $389,000 for the same period last year. GAAP net income per share was $0.20. Adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share excludes certain items as outlined in the table provided in this release. Adjusted diluted net income per share was $0.23 in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $0.06 in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $132.2 million, an increase of 1 percent compared to $131.0 million in the third quarter last year.
  • The total net debt to last 12-month Adjusted EBITDA ratio improved to 4.0x, as the Company continued to execute on its delever-first strategy and build cash on the balance sheet. Pro forma for the recapitalization announced on Oct. 2, resulted in net debt leverage of 3.5x.
  • Capital expenditures totaled $56 million in the third quarter driven by success-based, fiber and wireless tower projects and broadband network investments.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures                   

This press release, as well as the conference call, includes disclosures regarding “EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA ratio,” “free cash flow” and “adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share,” all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and described in this section as not being in compliance with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should not be construed as alternatives to net cash from operating or investing activities, cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP and are not, on their own, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow.

Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of EBITDA, adjusted for certain items as permitted or required by the lenders under our credit agreement in place at the end of each quarter in the periods presented. The tables that follow include an explanation of how adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each of the periods presented with the reconciliation to net income. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a historical basis.

We present adjusted EBITDA for several reasons. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to fund our estimated uses of cash (including interest on our debt). In addition, we have presented adjusted EBITDA to investors in the past because it is frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and management believes presenting it here provides a measure of consistency in our financial reporting. Adjusted EBITDA, referred to as Available Cash in our credit agreement, is also a component of the restrictive covenants and financial ratios contained in our credit agreement that requires us to maintain compliance with these covenants and limit certain activities, such as our ability to incur debt. The definitions in these covenants and ratios are based on adjusted EBITDA after giving effect to specified charges. In addition, adjusted EBITDA provides our board of directors with meaningful information, with other data, assumptions and considerations, to measure our ability to service and repay debt. We present the related “total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA ratio” principally to put other non-GAAP measures in context and facilitate comparisons by investors, security analysts and others; this ratio differs in certain respects from the similar ratio used in our credit agreement. These measures differ in certain respects from the ratios used in our senior notes indenture.

These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, adjusted EBITDA does not represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayment and interest payments are not deducted from such measure. Because adjusted EBITDA is a component of the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA, these measures are also subject to the material limitations discussed above. In addition, the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA is subject to the risk that we may not be able to use the cash on the balance sheet to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Management believes this ratio is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the future.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures, cash dividends and proceeds received from the sale of assets. Free cash flow is a measure of operating cash flows available for corporate purposes after providing sufficient fixed asset additions. The tables that follow include a calculation of free cash flow for each of the periods presented with a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow provides useful information to investors in the evaluation of our operating performance and liquidity.

We present the non-GAAP measure “adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share” because our net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share are regularly affected by items that occur at irregular intervals or are non-cash items. We believe that disclosing these measures assists investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating both our company over time and the relative performance of the companies in our industry.
