ATLANTA, GA – (March 2, 2010) Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2009 financial results delivering continued improvement in both quarterly segment profit and adjusted EBITDA.
“2009 was clearly a transitional year for Internap with fundamental changes to strategy, people and process. With our third consecutive quarter of adjusted EBITDA growth, we are reassured the steps we are taking will create long-term stockholder value,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue the purposeful investment in our data center business with the announcement of two further expansions, totaling 32,000 net sellable square feet, in Santa Clara, California and Houston, Texas. Silicon Valley represents a new market for Internap’s data center presence and Houston is an expansion in an already successful growth market. We expect both expansions to be open for customers during the third quarter of 2010.”
Revenue for the full-year 2009 increased $2.3 million over 2008 to $256.3 million. Higher Data center services revenue in 2009 offset a decline in IP services revenue over the same period. Fourth quarter 2009 revenue was $63.5 million, a decrease of 1.0 percent compared with the same quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease in quarterly revenue was also attributable to lower IP services revenue which was only partially offset by increased Data center services revenue. While increased occupancy and higher revenue per square foot supported increases in Data center services revenue over the prior year, IP services revenue declined due to lower per unit pricing even with strong year-over-year traffic growth. Sequentially, fourth quarter 2009 revenue decreased by 1.3 percent with lower IP services and decreased Data center services revenue contributing to the decline. The company’s initiative to proactively churn customers in certain low-margin, partner data center facilities impacted Data center services revenue compared with the third quarter of 2009. IP services revenue declined sequentially as pricing decreases outweighed quarter-over-quarter network traffic growth.
For the full-year 2009, GAAP net loss was $(69.7) million, or $(1.41) per fully diluted share, compared with a net loss of $(104.8) million, or $(2.13) per diluted share in 2008. The net losses in 2009 and 2008 included goodwill impairments and restructuring charges totaling $54.7 million and $101.4 million, respectively. Fourth quarter 2009 GAAP net loss was $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared with a GAAP net loss of $(2.0) million, or $(0.04) per share, in the prior quarter and a GAAP net loss of $(0.9) million, or $(0.02) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2009, normalized net income2, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per fully-diluted share. This compares with third quarter 2009 normalized net loss2 of $(0.9) million, or $(0.02) per fully-diluted share, and fourth quarter 2008 normalized net income of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per fully-diluted share.
Decreased IP services revenue drove a 4.1 percent decrease in Internap’s full-year 2009 total segment profit2 compared with the prior year. Fourth quarter 2009 segment profit totaled $29.3 million, rising 4.9 percent sequentially and 2.4 percent year-over-year. Improved Data center services revenue and lower proportional costs of sales in both reporting segments were the primary contributors to the year-over-year and sequential-quarter increases. Full-year 2009 segment margin was 44.2 percent, a decrease of 230 basis points compared with full-year 2008. Segment margin in the fourth quarter 2009 was 46.1 percent - an increase sequentially and over fourth quarter 2008 margins of 280 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA for the full-year 2009 totaled $28.0 million compared with $34.3 million in 2008. In the fourth quarter 2009, adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million, a decrease of 4.1 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2008. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA increased $1.4 million, or 18.0 percent. Full-year 2009 adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.9 percent, down 260 basis points versus last year. Fourth quarter 2009 adjusted EBITDA margin fell 40 basis points year-over-year to 14.2 percent. Decreased IP services segment profit drove most of the year-over-year declines in adjusted EBITDA margin. Compared with the third quarter 2009, adjusted EBITDA margin improved 230 basis points, the third consecutive quarter of sequential expansion, as increasing segment margin and stable cash operating expense continued to benefit results.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $73.9 million at December, 31 2009. Total debt including capital lease obligations was $23.2 million at year-end 2009. Cash generated from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $37.5 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were $17.3 million.
Internap maintained 2,935 customers under contract at the end of the fourth quarter of 2009. Historical trends of key financial and operational metrics can be found in a supplementary data schedule on Internap’s website at http://ir.internap.com/results.cfm.
As part of a program disclosed in August of 2009 to deploy additional data center capacity in key markets, Internap announced plans to expand company-controlled data center operations in Houston and Silicon Valley. The new facility in Silicon Valley, will add 27,000 net sellable square feet of premium data center capacity in two phases for approximately $23 million. The first phase will total 14,000 feet and is planned to come on line in the third quarter of 2010. In Houston, a market where Internap’s company-controlled utilization is approaching capacity, the company estimates that it will spend approximately $5 million for an additional 5,000 net sellable square feet which is also planned to turn-up in the third quarter of this year. Both the Silicon Valley data center and the expansion in Houston are being built with controls designed to achieve objectives included in SAS-70, type II compliance and meet N+1 redundancy standards for UPS, backup generators, and HVAC systems.

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to providing financial measurements based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), Internap has historically provided additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP), including adjusted EBITDA, normalized net income (loss), normalized diluted shares outstanding, segment profit and segment margin. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to adjusted EBITDA and normalized net income (loss) is loss from operations and net loss, respectively. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to normalized diluted shares outstanding is diluted common shares outstanding. Segment profit is defined and disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
We define non-GAAP measures as follows:
● | Adjusted EBITDA is loss from operations plus depreciation and amortization, loss on disposals of property and equipment, impairments and restructuring and stock-based compensation. |
| |
● | Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. |
| |
● | Normalized net income (loss) is net loss plus impairments and restructuring and stock-based compensation. |
| |
● | Normalized diluted shares outstanding are diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in GAAP net loss per share calculations, excluding the dilutive effect of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method. |
| |
● | Normalized net income (loss) per share is normalized net income (loss) divided by basic and normalized diluted shares outstanding. |
| |
● | Segment profit is segment revenues less direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization for the segment, as presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Segment profit does not include direct costs of customer support, direct costs of amortization of acquired technologies or any other depreciation or amortization associated with direct costs. |
| |
● | Segment margin is segment profit as a percentage of segment revenues. |
We detail reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures below. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.
We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization and loss on disposals of property and equipment, as well as impairments and restructuring, to calculate adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to investors’ understanding of Internap’s core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on management estimates of remaining useful lives. Loss on disposals of property and equipment is also based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on replacement costs. Impairments and restructuring reflect the charge for ceasing to use part of a smaller leased data center facility and a sales office during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and adjustments in sublease income assumptions for certain properties included in previously-disclosed restructuring plans for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Internap believes that impairment and restructuring charges are unique costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a normal component of expenses related to current and ongoing operations.
INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)
Similarly, we believe that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors’ understanding of Internap’s core operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding stock-based compensation as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results.
We also believe that, in excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, our non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what management uses to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods, to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and to establish certain management compensation.
Stock-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP net loss and net loss per share information by providing normalized net income (loss) and normalized net income (loss) per share, excluding the effect of impairments, restructuring and stock-based compensation in all periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We consider normalized diluted shares to be another important indicator of our overall performance because it eliminates the effect of non-cash items.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to — not a substitute for — our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Our statement of cash flows presents our cash flow activity in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe adjusted EBITDA is used by and is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:
● | EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired; and |
● | investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of disposals of property and equipment, impairments, restructuring and stock-based compensation which vary widely from company-to-company and impair comparability. |
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA:
● | as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period-to-period on a consistent basis; |
| |
● | as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; and |
| |
● | in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance. |
INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)
Our presentation of segment profit and segment margin excludes direct costs of customer support, depreciation and amortization in order to allow investors to see the business through the eyes of management. Management views direct costs of network, sales and services as generally less controllable, external costs and management regularly monitors the margin of revenues in excess of these direct costs. Similarly, we view the costs of customer support to also be an important component of costs of revenues but believe that the costs of customer support to be more within our control and to some degree discretionary as we can adjust those costs by hiring and terminating employees.
Segment margin is an important metric to our investors and analysts, as we have regularly discussed and disclosed the effects of third party vendors’ pricing declines and the corresponding effect on our revenues. The presentation of segment margin highlights the impact of the pricing declines and allows investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to direct costs of network, sales and services. Conversely, we have much greater latitude in controlling the compensation component of costs of revenues, represented by customer support, and we analyze this component separately from the direct external costs.
We also have excluded depreciation and amortization from segment profit and segment margin because, as noted above, they are based on estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. Further, depreciation and amortization are based on historical costs incurred to build out our deployed network and the historical costs of these assets may not be indicative of current or future capital expenditures.
Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.
