RESTON, VA – (May 9, 2019) Internap Corporation (NASDAQ:INAP, news, filings), a leading-edge provider of high-performance data center and cloud solutions with global network connectivity, announced today financial results for the first quarter of 2019.
“We have significant opportunities ahead to grow INAP and gain scale with our reconstructed portfolio. Year-over-year, management exited non-core data centers, and added a premier managed services platform through SingleHop to create a new baseline by the end of the first quarter of 2019. This portfolio right-sizing is now completed and establishes a new and improved INAP platform of colo, cloud and network services,” said Peter D. Aquino, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we are pleased to report the completed amendment to INAP’s credit facility as a follow-on to our recent equity raise. This operational flexibility positions the INAP platform for growth, partnerships and potential mergers. As we evaluate the opportunities to create shareholder value, we have retained Moelis & Company LLC and LionTree Advisors LLC as Financial Advisors.”
Revenue
2018 results include SingleHop LLC (“SingleHop”) operations beginning March 1, 2018, and are therefore not comparable to prior periods.
Total company revenue was $73.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease sequentially of $4.7 million or 6.0% and a decrease of $0.6 million or nearly flat at 0.9% year-over-year. The sequential decrease was primarily due to planned data centers exits and resizing of certain customer footprints of $2.0 million, lower non-recurring revenues associated with installs and timing for $1.0 million, deferred revenue adjustments of $0.6 million and other decreases of $0.9 million. The sequential decreases are primarily related to the reshaping initiatives of the colocation product line.
INAP US revenue totaled $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 6.3% sequentially and an increase of 0.8% year-over-year. The sequential decrease was due primarily to all of the above.
INAP INTL revenue was $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, a decrease of 4.9% sequentially and 6.3% year-over-year. The decrease sequentially was primarily due to a decline in the Canada cloud business that targets smaller customers. The decrease year-over-year was partly offset by the addition of SingleHop.
