ATLANTA, GA – (August 4, 2010)Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ:INAP, news, filings), a leading provider of end-to-end Internet business products and services, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2010. Continued focus on Internap-controlled data centers and corresponding growth in segment margin and adjusted EBITDA marked this quarter’s results.

“Our fourth consecutive quarter of segment margin expansion and another quarter of strong adjusted EBITDA attest to the efficacy of our strategy for Internap’s business turnaround. Proactive churn of low-margin partner data center contracts helped improve segment profit in our Data center services business by almost 7 percent sequentially and 41 percent year-over-year,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap. “The addition of 26,500 net sellable square feet of company-controlled data center in July, and early traction from recent product launches in both the IP and Data center business segments, bodes well for the company’s future revenue growth.”

Revenue

  • Revenue totaled $60.5 million compared with $64.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $63.4 million in the first quarter of 2010. Revenue from both Data center services and IP services decreased year-over-year and compared with the first quarter of 2010.
  • Data center services revenue declined 3 percent year-over-year and 7 percent sequentially to $31.2 million. The company’s ongoing initiative to proactively churn certain low-margin contracts in partner data centers drove the year-over-year and sequential decreases.
  • IP services revenue totaled $29.3 million – a decrease of 9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2009 and 1 percent sequentially. Per-unit price declines in the second quarter of 2010 outweighed continued strong traffic growth over both the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2009.

Net (Loss) Income

  • GAAP net loss was $(1.3) million, or $(0.03) per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $(60.6) million, or $(1.22) per share, in the second quarter of 2009 and $(0.3) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the first quarter of 2010. GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2010 included a non-cash restructuring charge of $1.2 million related to changes in assumptions on real-estate held for sublease.
  • Normalized net income2, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share. This compares with normalized net loss in the second quarter of 2009 of $(1.5) million, or $(0.03) per share, and normalized net income of $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2010.
    Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Segment profit was $29.3 million, an increase of 5 percent year-over-year and flat sequentially.
  • Segment margin was 48.3 percent, reaching its highest level in more than two years. Segment profit in Data center services was $11.4 million, or 36.6 percent of Data center services revenue. IP services segment profit was $17.8 million, or 60.9 percent of IP services revenue. Pricing discipline and initiatives to drive a greater proportion of business to Internap-controlled data center facilities benefited Data center services margins compared with prior periods. Decreased IP services revenue drove the year-over-year and sequential decrease in segment margins.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $9.9 million in the second quarter, 46.5 percent higher than the second quarter of 2009 and flat relative to the first quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4 percent in the second quarter of 2010, up 590 basis points year-over-year and 80 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher segment profit and lower cash operating expenses. Second quarter 2010 operating expenses included the benefit of a payroll tax credit from the State of Georgia of $1.1 million.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $76.1 million at June 30, 2010. Total debt was $40.4 million at the end of the quarter, including $20.4 million in capital lease obligations.
  • Cash generated from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $23.6 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were $28.5 million.
