First Quarter 2010 Financial Summary
Revenue
- Revenue totaled $63.4 million compared with $63.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 and $63.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Declines in IP services revenue offset growth in Data center services both year-over-year and compared with the fourth quarter of 2009.
- Data center services revenue grew 6 percent year-over-year and 2 percent sequentially to $33.7 million. Higher revenue per square foot more than offset the impact of the company’s ongoing program to proactively churn certain less profitable customer contracts in partner data centers.
- IP services revenue totaled $29.6 million – a decrease of 8 percent compared with the first quarter of 2009 and 2 percent sequentially. Per-unit price declines in the first quarter of 2010 outweighed strong traffic growth over both the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2009.
Net (Loss) Income
- GAAP net loss was $(0.3) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $(6.6) million, or $(0.13) per share, in the first quarter of 2009 and $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.
- Normalized net income2, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share. This compares with normalized net loss in the first quarter of 2009 of $(3.7) million, or $(0.07) per share and normalized net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
- Segment profit was $29.3 million, an increase of 4 percent year-over-year and flat sequentially.
- Segment margin was 46.2 percent, reaching its highest level in seven quarters. Segment profit in Data center services was $10.7 million, or 31.7 percent of Data center services revenue. IP services segment profit was $18.6 million, or 62.8 percent of IP services revenue. Pricing discipline and cost reduction programs in both Data center services and IP services drove the year-over-year improvement in segment margins.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $9.9 million representing growth of 114 percent and 10 percent compared with the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2009 respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.6 percent in the first quarter of 2010. The year-over-year and sequential improvements in Adjusted EBITDA were driven by increased segment profit and lower cash operating expenses. First quarter 2010 operating expenses included the benefit of a payroll tax credit from the State of Georgia of approximately $0.5 million.

- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $81.1 million at March 31, 2010. Total debt was $39.9 million at the end of the quarter, inclusive of capital lease obligations.
