MCLEAN, VA – (MARKET WIRE) – August 16, 2010 – PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (PRIMUS) (OTCBB: PMUG), a global provider of advanced facilities-based communication solutions, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the second quarter 2010 net revenue was $205.4 million, an increase of 5.0% versus the prior year and Adjusted EBITDA was $23.6 million, an increase of 14.2% versus the prior year. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
“Second quarter 2010 net revenue of $205.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $23.6 million both increased sequentially and year-over-year,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Retail Growth Services revenue continued to increase particularly from sales of IP-PBX, data hosting and other managed services to small and medium enterprises. These “next-generation” data infrastructure services are the foundation for future growth, and we will continue to deploy capital expenditures to support these products to meet growing customer demand. Additionally, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt by $10 million, including the repurchase of $9.5 million principal amount of our 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce our debt further. Year-to-date, we have made steady progress towards our 2010 objective of stabilizing our financial results, and this remains our focus for the second half of 2010.”
Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Net revenue of $205.4 million increased $1.0 million, or 0.5%, from $204.4 million in the first quarter of 2010 and increased $9.8 million, or 5.0% from $195.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased $4.6 million, or 2.2%, from first quarter of 2010 and decreased $5.7 million, or 2.9% from second quarter 2009. The $4.6 million sequential increase was comprised of a $4.7 million increase in wholesale services revenue and a $0.1 million decline in retail services revenue. The $0.1 million decline in retail services revenue this quarter compares favorably to the decline of $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.
Net Revenue by Product Type
The following summarizes second quarter 2010 and sequential and year-ago comparisons by product type:
Growth Services net revenue of $71.2 million,which includes on-net local, broadband Internet, data, data center, wireless, and retail VoIP services, increased $0.3 million from $70.9 million in the prior quarter and was up $10.1 million from the second quarter of 2009. On a constant currency basis, growth services net revenue increased $0.7 million, or 1.1%, from the first quarter 2010 and increased $1.8 million, or 3.0%, from the second quarter 2009.
Net revenue from Growth Services comprised a higher percentage of second quarter 2010 retail revenue, 45.6% as compared to 44.9% in the first quarter of 2010, and 42.1% in the year ago quarter as Growth Services revenue continued to grow and customer usage of Traditional Services, which includes long
distance voice, dial-up internet and Australian off-net local services, continued to decline. Primus’ strategy to invest prudently in capital and sales and marketing in higher-demand Growth Services products, including data center, broadband data, and IP-PBX services is resulting in greater traction for these services with both small-medium enterprise and residential customers, while demand for local services has slowed and revenue from residential VoIP services has declined.

United States
| • | | Net revenue of $12.5 million decreased $1.1 million, or 7.7%, from $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2010 and decreased $4.4 million, or 25.9% from the second quarter 2009. |

Brazil
| • | | Net revenue of $7.1 million increased $1.8 million, or 33.8%, from $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 and increased $4.1 million, or 136.7%, from the second quarter of 2009.

Net revenue less cost of revenuewas $73.7 million, or 35.9% of net revenue, compared to $74.4 million, or 36.4% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $70.4 million, or 36.0% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential margin percentage decrease primarily reflects the relative growth in lower margin wholesale revenue.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expensewas $50.2 million, or 24.4% of net revenue, compared to $52.9 million, or 25.9% of net revenue in the prior quarter, and $49.7 million, or 25.4% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The $2.7 million sequential decrease in SG&A expense reflects a decrease of $0.4 million from currency fluctuations, a decrease of $1.8 million in severance and the remaining amount is comprised of decreases in all expense categories other than professional fees which increased $0.4 million primarily for recruitment fees. The year-over-year $0.5 million increase in SG&A reflects a $4.8 million increase from foreign currency translation, a decrease of $1.9 million in salaries and benefits, a $2.0 million decrease in advertising and sales and marketing expenses and $0.4 million decrease in other expenses.
Income from operationswas $4.4 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior quarter, and $14.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense was $19.3 million as compared to $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $6.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The variance from the prior year is due to the implementation of fresh-start accounting on July 1, 2009.
Adjusted EBITDAwas $23.6 million, or 11.5% of net revenue, compared to $21.6 million, or 10.6% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $20.7 million, or 10.6% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The $2.0 million sequential increase includes the effect of a $1.8 million severance charge taken in the prior quarter.
Interest expensewas $8.7 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, from $9.3 million in the prior quarter, due to the reduction in debt levels, and a $5.4 million increase from $3.4 million in the year-ago quarter resulting from the cessation of interest accruals for the liabilities subject to compromise prior to emergence from reorganization.
Net loss was $(13.0) million, or $(1.34) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net loss of $(1.0) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted common share, in the prior quarter and net income of $25.4 million, or $0.18 per basic and $0.15 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.
The number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of 2010 was 9.7 million compared to 9.6 million in the first quarter of 2010, and 142.7 million basic and 173.1 million diluted in the second quarter of 2009.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources
PRIMUS ended the second quarter 2010 with $34.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, down from $52.1 million at March 31, 2010. Cash was utilized during the quarter for $17.2 million of interest payments; $9.5 million for the repurchase of 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes; $7.6 million for working capital primarily associated with wholesale revenue growth, $5.8 million for capital expenditures, $1.8 million from currency movements; and $0.3 million for debt amortization, partially offset by $23.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $0.5 million from the sale of assets.
The principal amount of PRIMUS’ long-term debt obligations as of June 30, 2010 was $246.3 million down from $256.2 million as of March 31, 2010.
The Company will evaluate and determine on a continuing basis the most efficient use of the Company’s capital and resources, including investment in the Company’s network, systems and product initiatives and to strengthen its balance sheet through debt repurchase or other means.
Free Cash Flowfor the second quarter 2010 was negative $7.0 million compared to positive $12.8 million in the prior quarter and positive $14.2 million in the year-ago quarter. As noted above, the second quarter of 2010 included interest payments of $17.2 million. PRIMUS defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property and equipment.
Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Primus’ cash position at quarter-end of $34.0 million reflects second quarter interest payments of $17.2 million and the repurchase during the second quarter of $9.5 million of 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes, which we completed consistent with our objective of reducing our debt levels. We have maintained focused execution through the year in all geographies, which is generating greater stability in our financial and operating results. Our primary objective remains to continue generating stable Adjusted EBITDA and aggregate Free Cash Flow in 2010, and we plan to deploy Free Cash Flow opportunistically toward our investments in Growth Services and/or toward debt reduction.”
