Delivers 3Q15 Revenue of $51 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $22.3 Million
Reiterates 2015 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance of Approximately $202 Million and Approximately $92 Million, respectively
3Q15 Fiber to the Cell (“FTTC”) Revenue exceeds $7.5 million, up 59% Year-over-Year
3Q15 Enterprise Revenue increases more than 10% Year-over-Year to $11.6 Million
WAYNESBORO, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lumos Networks Corp. (“Lumos Networks”, “Lumos” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:LMOS, news, filings), a leading fiber-based service provider of data, voice and IP-based telecommunication services in the Mid-Atlantic region, today announced its third quarter financial results. Total revenue in the third quarter of 2015 was $51 million, up nearly 1% from the prior year period. Total Data segment revenue grew over 8% year-over-year to approximately $28.6 million and constituted over 56% of total revenue, up from 52% in the prior year period.
In the aggregate, FTTC and Enterprise revenue grew nearly 6% sequentially and 26% year-over-year to over $19 million in the third quarter, and constituted 67% of total data revenue, up from 57% in the prior year period. In the aggregate, Ethernet and other advanced fiber technologies account for 90-95% of revenue within these two product groups.
The Company generated operating income of $8.6 million and $26.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Net income attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. was $1.3 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015 and $7.4 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
“In the third quarter, we continued to make steady progress in our transformation into a fiber bandwidth infrastructure provider,” said Timothy G. Biltz, President and CEO of Lumos Networks. “In addition to reiterating our 2015 guidance for overall revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, we are maintaining our target for overall 2015 Data segment revenue of approximately $115 million, or 8% year-over-year organic revenue growth.”
“Our organic growth rate in our data business, which is amongst the higher in the fiber industry, is driven by continued strength in both our FTTC and Enterprise businesses,” Mr. Biltz continued. “For 2015, we maintain our target for $29 million in FTTC revenue, up approximately 45% year-over-year, and for $46 million in Enterprise revenue, up over 8% from 2014.”
“Our key focus remains the completion of the vast majority of our transformational network expansion project of approximately 665 miles into the Richmond and Norfolk markets by the end of 2015. This network, underpinned by a 257 FTTC site build with a major US wireless carrier, increases our Enterprise addressable market by approximately 60%, or $135 million, and significantly de-risks our business model in 2016.”
Third Quarter 2015 Highlights
- The Company ended 3Q15 with 1,030 unique FTTC sites, up 54 sequentially and an increase of 45% from the prior year. Additionally, Lumos ended the quarter with 1,363 total FTTC connections up nearly 42% from the prior year period.
- In the first nine months of 2015, Lumos renewed Enterprise accounts totaling $603,000 in monthly recurring charges (“MRC”), up over 17% from the prior year period. Year-to-date, Lumos has renewed Enterprise accounts worth over $26 million of total contract value, up approximately 20% from the prior year period.
- Lumos Networks added 308 route miles of fiber in the quarter, the most added organically in the Company’s history, and ended the quarter with 8,408 total route miles. Additionally, Lumos added 68 Enterprise lit buildings in the quarter and 165 in the first nine months of 2015, up over 47% from the prior year period.
Business Outlook
For the full year 2015, the Company reiterates its financial guidance for revenue of approximately $202 million, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $92 million and capital expenditures of approximately $112 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Lumos Networks before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests, other income or expenses, equity-based compensation charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization of actuarial losses on retirement plans, employee separation charges, restructuring-related charges, gain or loss on settlements and gain or loss on interest rate swap derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to operating revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. It should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules herein and our SEC filings for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most comparable measures reported in accordance with GAAP and for a discussion of the presentation, comparability and use of such financial performance measures.
