“This was another strong quarter for both our present and our future,” said Elliot Noss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tucows Inc. “As for the present, the third quarter of 2017 was yet another quarter of record revenue at $85 million. For the future, all our business units took steps in the right direction. The integration of our domain name platforms is going well. Ting Mobile continues to grow its customer base and its reputation. Ting Internet is executing well and ramping quickly.”
“I am particularly proud that we can make such meaningful investments in infrastructure, people and customer acquisition without taking a step backwards on topline growth.”
Financial Results
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2017 increased 73% to $85.0 million from $49.1 million for the third quarter of 2016.
Net income for the third quarter of 2017 decreased 27% to $3.4 million, or $0.33 per share, from $4.7 million, or $0.45 per share, for the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2017 increased 9% to $9.4 million from $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in adjusted EBITDA1 was largely the result of the acquisition of Enom in January 2017 and, to a lesser extent, continued growth in the Company’s incumbent Domains business. Year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA1 was negatively impacted by two factors that benefitted the third quarter of 2016. Ting Mobile received a cost decrease from its network suppliers in advance of permanently passing the decrease on to customers. In addition, the Company recorded a reversal of an overachievement bonus accrual of in the third quarter of 2016 that was not repeated in the third quarter of 2017. These one-time occurrences inflated third quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA1 by more than $0.9 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2017 were $12.5 million compared with $15.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017 and $10.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016.
Notes:
1. Adjusted EBITDA
Tucows reports all financial information required in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Along with this information, to assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, the Company typically disclose and discuss a non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted EBITDA, on investor conference calls and related events that exclude certain non-cash and other charges as the Company believes that the non-GAAP information enhances investors' overall understanding of our financial performance.
The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company’s core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance and prepare its budgets. Since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, the Company’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a liquidity measure. Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. The Company endeavors to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA to net income based on U.S. GAAP, which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.
The Company’s adjusted EBITDA definition excludes depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, income tax provision, interest expense, interest income, stock-based compensation, asset impairment, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions and infrequently occurring items, including acquisition and transitions costs. Gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding unhedged foreign currency contracts, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S. dollars to U.S. dollars.
The following table reconciles net income to adjusted EBITDA (dollars in thousands):
