Fourth Quarter Results
Global Crossing’s consolidated revenue was $683 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 5 percent both sequentially and year over year. The sequential comparison included a $7 million favorable foreign exchange impact, and the year-over-year increase included a $5 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact. In constant currency terms, consolidated revenue increased 4 percent sequentially and 6 percent year over year.
The company’s strategic “invest and grow” services generated revenue of $602 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 6 percent sequentially and 8 percent year over year. In constant currency terms, “invest and grow” revenue increased 5 percent sequentially and 9 percent year over year. “Invest and grow” revenue in the quarter included a non-recurring benefit of $6 million from the completion of a customer contract and a $7 million sale of equipment in connection with a new contract for managed services. The acquisition of Genesis Networks during the fourth quarter contributed $4 million of revenue.
On a segment basis, Rest of World (ROW), GC Impsat and GCUK generated “invest and grow” revenue of $335 million, $151 million, and $128 million, respectively. In constant currency terms, ROW increased 5 percent sequentially and 7 percent year over year; GC Impsat increased 3 percent sequentially and 14 percent year over year; and GCUK increased 12 percent sequentially and 8 percent year over year. GCUK revenue included the aforementioned $6 million non-recurring contract completion and $7 million equipment sale.
The company’s wholesale voice business generated revenue of $81 million in the fourth quarter, a 3 percent increase sequentially and a 13 percent decrease year over year.
Global Crossing reported gross margin for the fourth quarter of $231 million, compared with $208 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $190 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Foreign currency did not materially impact gross margin sequentially or year over year. The sequential and year-over-year improvement in gross margin was driven by revenue growth and improved sales mix, including $6 million of margin associated with the aforementioned contract completion and equipment sale in GCUK and a $4 million benefit from the release of certain provisions for contingent liabilities.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $110 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $99 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $107 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Foreign currency did not materially impact SG&A sequentially or year over year. The sequential change was principally due to increases in salaries and benefits, bad debt expense and non-income tax expense. The year-over-year change was principally due to an increase in salaries and benefits.
Global Crossing reported $121 million of OIBDA in the fourth quarter, compared with $109 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $83 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a segment basis, ROW, GC Impsat and GCUK contributed $47 million, $46 million and $28 million, respectively.
Global Crossing’s consolidated net loss applicable to common shareholders was $1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. On a sequential basis, net loss decreased $6 million. On a year-over-year basis, net loss decreased $37 million, principally due to higher OIBDA of $38 million.
Full Year Results
Global Crossing’s consolidated business generated $2.61 billion of revenue in 2010, representing a $73 million increase year over year, including a $21 million favorable foreign exchange impact. The company’s strategic “invest and grow” services generated revenue of $2.28 billion in 2010, including a $21 million favorable foreign exchange impact. Excluding the foreign exchange impact, “invest and grow” revenue increased $99 million, or 5 percent, year over year.
On a segment basis, the company’s ROW, GC Impsat and GCUK segments generated “invest and grow” revenue of $1.28 billion, $559 million, and $472 million, respectively. In constant currency terms, ROW, GC Impsat and GCUK “invest and grow” revenue increased by 4 percent, 8 percent and 3 percent, respectively, as compared to 2009.
Wholesale voice revenue declined 12 percent, or $46 million, year over year to $328 million. The decline reflects the company’s strategy to manage the wholesale voice business for margin. Substantially all of the wholesale voice revenue is earned in the United States, within the ROW segment.
Global Crossing reported gross margin of $831 million or 31.9 percent of consolidated revenue for 2010, an increase of $61 million compared with 2009, including a $14 million favorable foreign exchange impact. Gross margin of $770 million in 2009 was 30.4 percent of consolidated revenue. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin as a percent of consolidated revenue was driven by revenue growth and improved revenue mix.
SG&A expenses were $431 million in 2010, a $3 million increase from $428 million in 2009, primarily driven by a $3 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact.
The company reported $400 million of OIBDA for 2010, a year-over-year improvement of $58 million, including a favorable foreign exchange impact of $11 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, OIBDA grew $47 million or 14 percent year over year. On a segment basis, ROW, GC Impsat and GCUK contributed $124 million, $176 million and $100 million of OIBDA, respectively.
Global Crossing’s consolidated net loss applicable to common shareholders was $176 million for 2010, compared with a loss of $145 million in 2009. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily driven by a net unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $84 million and an increase in interest expense of $31 million partially offset by the OIBDA increase of $58 million and higher loss on extinguishment of debt of $23 million in 2009.
Cash and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2010, Global Crossing had $372 million of unrestricted cash, compared with $311 million at September 30, 2010 and $477 million at December 31, 2009. Including $9 million of restricted cash, Global Crossing had total cash of $381 million at December 31, 2010.
Cash from operating activities for the fourth quarter was $149 million. Global Crossing received $55 million in proceeds from the sale of IRUs and prepaid services in the fourth quarter. Uses of cash for the quarter included $32 million of cash interest payments and $64 million for capital expenditures and principal payments on capital leases.
The company reported Free Cash Flow of $102 million in the quarter, compared with negative $1 million in the prior quarter and $72 million in the year-ago period. The sequential improvement was primarily driven by improved working capital performance, increased OIBDA, higher IRU receipts and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. Year over year, the increase was principally driven by increased OIBDA and higher IRU receipts.
Cash from operating activities for 2010 was $183 million. Global Crossing received $132 million in proceeds from the sale of IRUs and prepaid services in 2010. Uses of cash for the year included $157 million of cash interest payments and $225 million for capital expenditures and principal payments on capital leases.
The company reported Free Cash Flow of $16 million in 2010, compared with $82 million in 2009. The decrease was principally driven by higher cash payments for interest and incentive compensation in 2010, as well as a larger benefit from improved collections in 2009. Annual incentive compensation was primarily paid in cash in 2010 and in stock in 2009.
2011 Guidance
“In 2011, we plan to improve the pace of growth for our strategic ‘invest and grow’ revenue by leveraging our global value-added IP, Ethernet, data center and managed solutions,” said John Legere, chief executive officer of Global Crossing. “In addition to investing in our core network, we will continue moving up the value chain with accelerated investment in managed solutions, including data center and cloud services.”
Based on current foreign exchange rates, the company expects “invest and grow” revenue to increase by approximately 6 to 9 percent as compared to 2010. At the midpoint of this revenue range, the company expects OIBDA to grow to roughly $425 million, reflecting OIBDA contribution at approximately 50 percent of incremental “invest and grow” revenue, partially offset by (1) approximately $20 million in higher operating expenses, primarily related to salary increases, higher sales headcount and the restoration of the 401K company match, and (2) approximately $40 million in higher accrued incentive compensation expense, reflecting funding of the annual bonus at target in 2011 as compared to 35 percent of target in 2010. And, finally, the company expects to deliver a fourth consecutive year of positive Free Cash Flow, as it continues to invest in significant growth opportunities while also prudently managing cash.
The above guidance represents management’s current good faith estimates and is based on various assumptions which may or may not materialize. Some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates are referenced below.
Non-GAAP Metrics
Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Regulation G and Item 10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-X, the attached financial tables include definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, as well as reconciliations of such measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).

| Unaudited Reconciliation of OIBDA to Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders | |||||||||||
| ($ in millions) | |||||||||||
| Pursuant to the SEC’s Regulation G, the following table provides a reconciliation of OIBDA, which is considered a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure, to income (loss) applicable to common shareholders. | |||||||||||
| OIBDA is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA differs from operating income (loss) in that it excludes depreciation and amortization. Such excluded expenses primarily reflect the non-cash impacts of historical capital investments, as opposed to the cash impacts of capital expenditures made in recent periods. In addition, OIBDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for reinvestment, distributions or other discretionary uses. | |||||||||||
| Management uses OIBDA as an important part of our internal reporting and planning processes and as a key measure to evaluate profitability and operating performance, make comparisons between periods, and to make resource allocation decisions. Management believes that the investment community uses similar performance measures to compare performance of competitors in our industry. | |||||||||||
| There are material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculation of OIBDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Additionally, OIBDA does not include certain significant items such as depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes, other non-operating income or expense items and preferred stock dividends. OIBDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||
| Management believes that OIBDA is useful to our investors as it is a relevant indicator of operating performance, especially in a capital-intensive industry such as telecommunications. OIBDA provides investors with an indication of the underlying performance of our everyday business operations. It excludes the effect of items associated with our capitalization and tax structures, such as interest income, interest expense, income taxes and preferred stock dividends, and of other items not associated with our everyday operations. | |||||||||||

Unaudited Reconciliations of Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities ($ in millions) |
Table 10 | |||
| Pursuant to the SEC’s Regulation G, the following table provides a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, which is considered a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure, to net cash provided by operating activities. | ||||
| We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment as disclosed in the statement of cash flows. Free Cash Flow differs from the net change in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows in that it excludes the cash impact of: all investing activities (other than capital expenditures, which are a fundamental and recurring part of our business); all financing activities; and exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents balances.
Management uses Free Cash Flow as a relevant indicator of our ability to generate cash to pay debt. Free Cash Flow also is an important part of our internal reporting and a key measure used by management to evaluate liquidity from period to period. We believe that the investment community uses similar performance measures to compare performance of competitors in our industry. |
||||
| There are material limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Our calculation of Free Cash Flow may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable to those other measures. Moreover, we do not currently pay a significant amount of income taxes due to net operating losses, and we therefore generate higher Free Cash Flow than comparable businesses that do pay income taxes. Additionally, Free Cash Flow is subject to variability quarter over quarter as a result of the timing of payments related to accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow also does not include certain significant cash items such as purchases and sales out of the ordinary course of business, proceeds from financing activities, repayments of capital lease obligations and other debt, and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents balances. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net change in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to our investors as it provides an indication of the underlying cash position of our everyday business operations and the ability to pay debt. |

| Unaudited Reconciliation of 2011 OIBDA Guidance | |||||
| When providing projections for non-GAAP measures, we are required to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP metric to the extent available without unreasonable efforts. In such cases, we may indicate an amount or range for GAAP measures that are components of the reconciliation. The provision of such amounts or ranges must not be interpreted as explicit or implicit projections of those GAAP components. To reconcile the non-GAAP financial metric to GAAP, we must use amounts or ranges for the GAAP components that arithmetically add up to the non-GAAP financial metric. While we feel reasonably comfortable with the methodology used to generate the projections of our non-GAAP financial metrics, we fully expect that the amounts or ranges used for the GAAP components will vary from actual results. We have made numerous assumptions in preparing our projections. These assumptions, including the amounts of the various components that comprise a financial metric, may or may not prove to be correct. We will consider our projections of non-GAAP financial metrics to have been achieved if the statement we make about a specific non-GAAP measure is satisfied, even if the GAAP components of the reconciliation are materially different from those provided in an earlier reconciliation. This reconciliation was prepared based on the Company’s guidance as provided on February 22, 2011, which included the Company’s expectation that 2011 full-year OIBDA would be roughly $425 million at the midpoint of its revenue guidance range and otherwise based on the assumptions set forth in the preceding press release. |
