(“GTT”), a global telecommunications carrier and leading network integrator serving the data communications needs of large enterprise, government and carrier clients, announced today financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. Financial highlights and historical comparisons include (in millions, except per share data):
2Q11 2Q10 1H11 1H10
---------- --------- ---------- ---------
Revenue $ 21.2 $ 19.7 $ 41.6 $ 40.3
Gross Margin 30.2 % 30.1 % 29.8 % 28.8 %
Adjusted EBITDA* $ 1.9 $ 1.6 $ 3.7 $ 3.2
Net Income** $ (0.6) $ 0.3 $ (0.1) $ 0.5

* See "Annex A: Non-GAAP Financial Information--Adjusted EBITDA" for
more information regarding the computation of Adjusted EBITDA.
** Net income in the second quarter 2011 includes restructuring
costs, employee termination and non-recurring items totaling $1.0
million related to the acquisition of PacketExchange.
Excluding restructuring costs, employee termination and non-recurring items resulting from the acquisition of PacketExchange, earnings per share (basic and diluted) would have been $0.02 for the second quarter 2011 and $0.05 year-to-date.
“GTT has produced another strong quarter of financial results and closed on a strategic acquisition,” said Richard D. Calder Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue grew nearly 8 percent year-over-year and Adjusted EBITDA grew 19 percent. In the third quarter, we look forward to continued top and bottom-line growth as we realize a full quarter of contribution from our recent acquisition and continue our organic growth.
“The PacketExchange acquisition closed in June and we have successfully integrated the network assets, services and clients into our proprietary Client Management Database (CMD) ensuring seamless high-quality support of ongoing client installations, service delivery and network support. We have begun to leverage the strength of the combined network to deliver an expanded service portfolio.”
The acquisition was funded through an expanded term loan facility with GTT’s existing lender, Silicon Valley Bank and a new term loan facility from BIA Digital Partners SBIC II LP, a private investment firm with a focus on mid to later-stage companies.
“GTT raised approximately $13.8 million of debt financing in the second quarter to fund the acquisition,” stated Eric Swank, Chief Financial Officer. “We raised $6.3 million in the form of a modification to our existing loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank that expands the amount of borrowing under our term loan facility. In addition, we secured a $7.5 million term loan with BIA Digital Partners. These commitments demonstrate the strength of our model and the economic potential of this acquisition and we look to unlock that potential in the coming quarters.”

ANNEX A: Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization on a non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) combined basis for the periods presented, and adjusted to exclude certain one-time expenses including costs associated with employee terminations and other non-recurring items and non-cash compensation. GTT presents Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of GTT’s performance. GTT also presents Adjusted EBITDA because GTT believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry and in measuring the ability of issuers to meet debt service obligations.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future GTT may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. GTT’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that GTT’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of GTT’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (amounts in thousands):
