Interxion Reports Q1 2011 Results

AMSTERDAM, May 17, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —

Interxion Holding NV (INXN:NYSE), a leading European provider of carrier-neutral colocation data centre services, announced its results today for the three months ended 31 March 2011.

Highlights

  • Revenue increased by 21% to EUR 57.9 million (Q1 2010: EUR 47.8 million)
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 27% to EUR 22.2 million (Q1 2010: EUR 17.4 million)
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 38.4% (Q1 2010: 36.5%)
  • Net profit of EUR 2.8 million (Q1 2010: EUR 4.7 million loss)
  • Capital Expenditures of EUR 19.1 million during the quarter
  • 2011 annual guidance reaffirmed

“The first quarter of 2011 was Interxion’s 18th consecutive quarter of sequential quarterly growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Chief Executive Officer David Ruberg. “These results are in line with our plans and attributable to the execution of our market segmentation strategy and providing our targeted communities of interest with the excellent products and quality of service that they require.”

Quarterly Highlights

Revenue for the first quarter was EUR 57.9 million, a 21% increase over the first quarter of 2010 and a 4.2% increase from the fourth quarter 2010. Recurring revenue was 94% of total revenue.

Cost of sales for the first quarter increased by 14% to EUR 24.8 million, leading to an increased gross profit margin of 57.2%. Sales and marketing costs in the first quarter were EUR 4.2 million, up 27% as a result of our continued investment in the company’s market segmentation strategy. General and administrative costs, excluding depreciation, amortisation, exceptional general and administrative costs, and share-based payments of EUR 6.7 million, increased by 27% and were adversely impacted by the onset of public company costs. Depreciation and amortisation increased by 19% to EUR 8.5 million.

Net financing costs were EUR 6.6 million, down from EUR 13.5 million in the first quarter 2010. First quarter 2010 costs included a non-recurring charge of EUR 10.2 million related to the debt refinancing in February 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 22.2 million, up 27% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 38.4% as the company’s increased scale provided greater operating leverage.

Net profit was EUR 2.8 million in the first quarter 2011.

Cash generated from operations, defined as cash generated from operating activities before interest and tax payments and receipts, was EUR 20.7 million. Net cash used in investing activities was EUR 19.5 million, including EUR 19.1 million of capital expenditures. Cash generated from financing activities was EUR 141.4 million, reflecting the proceeds from the IPO.

Cash and equivalents were EUR 229.3 million, up from EUR 99.1 million at year end.

Equipped space at the end of the period was 61,000 square metres. Utilisation rate, the ratio of revenue-generating space to equipped space, was 73%, up from 72% in the first quarter 2010.

Business Outlook

The company’s outlook for 2011 is reaffirmed:

Revenue EUR 239 million – EUR 245 million
Adjusted EBITDA EUR 91 million – EUR 95 million
Capital Expenditures EUR 140 million – EUR 160 million

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the difficulty of reducing operating expenses in the short term, inability to utilise the capacity of newly planned data centres and data centre expansions, significant competition, the cost and supply of electrical power, data centre industry over-capacity, performance under service level agreements and other risks described from time to time in Interxion’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interxion does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking information contained in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as operating profit plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment of assets. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based payments and exceptional and non-recurring items, and to include share of profits (losses) of non-group companies. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as additional information because we understand that they are measures used by certain investors and because they are used in our financial covenants in our EUR 50 million revolving credit facility and EUR 260 million 9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. However, other companies may present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating profit or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating profit is provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Income Statement: Group Metrics.
