RESTON, Va., Nov. 12, 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 third quarter of 2019.
“INAP’s third quarter results reflect our continued execution on all fronts, with revenue demonstrating stability in churn and Adjusted EBITDA remaining relatively flat compared to Q2 on a normalized basis. We won a number of new sales and expansions of current client footprints, with growth in private cloud and colo in high absorption flagship markets, including Phoenix, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Seattle. With respect to our strategic initiatives, we are actively engaged with interested parties and are working with our advisors to explore possible non-core asset sales and transformational transactions. The amendment to our credit facility gives us additional flexibility and time while we strive to maximize shareholder value. For the remainder of the year, we are focused on driving profitable revenue through consistency in our sales teams and channel partners, and on bringing about strategic actions that can take INAP to the next level,” said Peter D. Aquino, Chief Executive Officer.
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Summary
Revenue
- Total company revenue was $72.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease sequentially of $0.3 million or 0.4%, and a decrease of $10.1 million or 12.2% year-over-year.
- INAP US revenue was $56.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 0.9% sequentially and a decrease of 13.3% year-over-year. The sequential decrease is primarily due to lower non-recurring revenue in Q3 in Colocation. The decrease year-over-year is primarily due to planned data center exits and churn from several large customers in 2018.
- INAP INTL revenue was $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 1.6% sequentially and a decrease of 7.9% year-over-year. The sequential increase is due to higher non-recurring revenue in Q3 in Cloud and INAP Japan. The decrease year-over-year is primarily due to churn from large customers in 2018.
Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA and Business Unit Contribution
- Net loss attributable to shareholders was $(23.9) million, or $(1.01) per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared with $(18.6) million, or $(0.78) per share in the second quarter of 2019, and compared with $(15.5) million, or $(0.77) per share in third quarter of 2018.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $23.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 5.9% compared with $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, and 23.4% decrease compared with $30.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The sequential decline is due primarily to the conversion of our Santa Clara facility to an operating lease and seasonal cost increases. The year-over-year decline is primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by cost savings initiatives in 2019.
- Business Unit Contribution
- INAP US business unit contribution was $24.0 million in the third quarter, a 5.7% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2019 and a 21.2% decrease from the third quarter of 2018. The sequential decrease is primarily due to the conversion of our Santa Clara facility to an operating lease, lower non-recurring revenue, and seasonal cost increases. The decrease year-over-year is primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by cost saving initiatives in 2019.
- INAP INTL business unit contribution was $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, a 2.8% increase compared with the second quarter of 2019 and a 0.6% decrease from the third quarter of 2018. The sequential increase is primarily due to higher non-recurring revenue. The decrease year-over-year is primarily due to lower revenues partially offset by cost savings initiatives in 2019.
“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.”
