Strategic Initiatives Review Remains Active
RESTON, Va. – (Aug. 6, 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 second quarter of 2019.
“INAP’s solid second quarter results include positive sales progress across multiple fronts, including our first megawatt deal of 2019, advanced private cloud and bare metal growth, and the lowest churn rate in years. The other good news is that our backlog is again up over $20 million, with a growing pipeline primarily in North America with upside in Europe. We continue to improve operations and focus on growth opportunities in our INAP Data Center Flagships,” said Peter D. Aquino, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we previously disclosed, we have retained Moelis and LionTree to assist INAP in evaluating strategic initiatives. Our advisors reached out to the most likely parties, including strategic and financial players. This activity is currently in progress, as we pursue the most actionable opportunity in the near term for the best interests of shareholders.”
Revenue
2018 results include SingleHop LLC (“SingleHop”) operations beginning March 1, 2018, and are therefore not comparable to prior periods.
Total company revenue was $73.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease sequentially of $0.4 million or 0.6%, and a decrease of $8.8 million or 10.8% year-over-year. The sequential decrease was primarily due to churn from the last remaining customers in the exited data centers. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to planned data centers exits and churn from several large customers in 2018.
INAP US revenue totaled $57.5 million in the second quarter of 2019, flat sequentially and a decrease of 10.3% year-over-year. The second quarter revenue included churn from the exited data centers offset by a global transfer pricing adjustment between segments. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to all of the above.
INAP INTL revenue was $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 2.3% sequentially and 12.4% year-over-year. The sequential decrease was primarily due to a global transfer pricing adjustment between segments. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to churn from iWeb legacy products.

The increase sequentially is due to cost savings initiatives and the decline is due to lower revenues.
Business Unit Contribution3 – INAP US and INAP INTL business unit contribution for second quarter of 2019 is as follows:
INAP US, includes Colocation, Cloud, and Network Services. Cloud contains AgileCloud, Managed Hosting, and SingleHop businesses.
INAP US business unit contribution was $25.5 million in the second quarter, a 3.5% increase compared to the first quarter of 2019 and a 14.6% decrease from the second quarter of 2018. The sequential increase was primarily due to cost savings initiatives implemented at the beginning of 2019 partially offset by seasonal power increases. The year-over-year decrease was due to planned data centers exits and churn from several large customers in 2018 partially offset by ongoing cost savings initiatives beginning in the first quarter of 2019.
As a percent of revenue, INAP US business unit contribution margin was at 44.4% in the second quarter of 2019; and up 160 basis points sequentially and down 220 basis points year-over-year.
INAP INTL, includes Colocation, Cloud, and Network Services. Cloud contains AgileCloud, Managed Hosting, Ubersmith, iWeb, and SingleHop.
INAP INTL business unit contribution was $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, an 11.4% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2019 and 6.6% decrease from the second quarter of 2018. The sequential decrease was due to lower revenue from the global transfer pricing adjustment as well as higher seasonal power and rent related to the new Colt facility. The year-over-year decrease was due to the churn from iWeb legacy products offset by ongoing cost savings initiatives.
As a percent of revenue, INAP INTL business unit contribution margin was 35.9% in the second quarter of 2019; down 370 basis points sequentially and up 220 basis points year-over-year.
“Second quarter revenue performance of $73 million represents baseline stability as the Company focuses on organic growth in high demand products,” said Jim Keeley, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. “Normalized for minimal data center closure revenue still included in first quarter 2019, revenues were essentially flat sequentially, replacing churn and building a larger backlog from a growing pipeline of deals. We are encouraged by this consistency and are supporting our sales teams and channel partners to grow after over two years of reconstituting our product set.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement
Cash and cash equivalents were $10.5 million at June 30, 2019. Total debt was $687.8 million, net of discount and prepaid costs, at the end of the second quarter of 2019 including $268.4 million in finance lease obligations. The Company has $25.2 million of availability on its revolver, net of $3.7 million of letters of credit.
Cash generated from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $11.8 million compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, and $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. The significant increase in cash generated from operations in the second quarter versus the first quarter was primarily due to working capital timing and a higher non-cash adjustment for leases resulting from rent abatements. Capital expenditures over the same periods were $7.8 million, compared to $8.6 million and $11.1 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA less CapEx1 was $16.6 million, compared to $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2018.
