WAYNESBORO, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Lumos Networks Corp. (“Lumos Networks” or “the Company”) (LMOS), a fiber-based service provider of data, voice and IP-based telecommunication services in the Mid-Atlantic region, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter of 2013 and the full year 2013.
Total revenue in 2013 was $207.5 million compared to $206.9 million in 2012. Total Adjusted EBITDA in 2013 was $96.3 million versus $88.9 million in 2012. Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $51.0 million, compared to $52.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $51.6 million in the third quarter of 2013. Total Adjusted EBITDA was $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $23.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $23.0 million in the third quarter of 2013.
“In 2013, Lumos Networks’ strategic data revenue grew by 11.3% year-over-year, which offset declines in our legacy voice revenue streams, and overall Adjusted EBITDA grew by 8.4% as a result of effective expense control. We had sequential strategic data revenue growth in each quarter of 2013 and for the total year strategic data revenue accounted for more than 50% of our total revenue,” said Mr. Biltz, President and CEO.
“For 2014, we have targeted year-over-year strategic data revenue growth in the 6% to 8% range and the same level of overall Adjusted EBITDA as generated in 2013. Total revenue in 2014 is likely to be marginally down when compared to 2013 as a result of our legacy voice revenue streams,” continued Mr. Biltz. “In 2014, we plan to continue to tightly control expenses while making major investments in our fiber optics network and expansion markets to enhance our capability to increase fiber bandwidth revenue from both carrier and enterprise customers. We believe that these investments will position the Company to increase total revenue and profitability on an annual run-rate basis as we exit 2014,” concluded Mr. Biltz.
Highlights
- The Company ended the year with 608 connected fiber to the cell (“FTTC”) sites, up 68 sequentially, which represents a year-over-year increase in total FTTC sites of 64%. Lumos Networks reached its prior guidance to end 2013 with over 600 connected sites and maintains its target for 1,500 sites within the next few years.
- The Company’s project to upgrade its internal systems continued to gain momentum and is expected to drive operating efficiencies, improve customer facing capabilities and streamline business processes as we progress through 2014.
- Lumos Networks finalized plans to complete an 850-mile MEF certified Carrier Ethernet MPLS/IP network overlay designed primarily for FTTC traffic, which will allow up to 1 terabyte of total bandwidth traffic.
- At the end of 2013, the Company’s 110-mile fiber “Edge-out” market in Richmond, Virginia had annualized sales bookings of $3.4 million.
- On February 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of Lumos Networks declared a dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.14 per share to be paid on April 10, 2014 to stockholders of record on March 13, 2014.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of 2014, the Company expects revenue to be $50 to $51 million and Adjusted EBITDA $22.5 to $23 million. For the full year 2014, the Company is introducing guidance of $200 to $204 million for revenue and $94 to $96 million for Adjusted EBITDA.
