SAVVIS REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Total Revenue up 6% From a Year Ago, to $200.6 Million
Adjusted EBITDA* up 50% From a Year Ago, to $42.6 Million
Issued $345 Million of Convertible Notes; Retired $342.5 Million of Debt

ST. LOUIS, MO. – July 23, 2007– SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVVS), a global leader in IT infrastructure services for business applications, announced today that its revenue for the second quarter of 2007 totaled $200.6 million, an increase of 6% from the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $192.5 million in the second quarter 2007, and net income was $133.3 million; both figures reflect a $180.8 million gain recorded on the sale of data-center assets and net income reflects a charge of $45.1 million in the second quarter related to debt retirement. Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter was $42.6 million, an increase of 50% from a year ago.
Second quarter operating cash flow was $28.0 million and cash capital expenditures were $126.1 million, of which $90.1 million was for previously-announced growth projects, including the build-out of four new data centers and SAVVIS’ next-generation network.
Chief Executive Officer Phil Koen said, “With record sales bookings in the second quarter, SAVVIS continues to build its track record of delivering solid financial results as we transition the company to operate in increasingly high-growth, high-margin areas. Our investments in new, high-quality data center space and significant enhancements in our network backbone are enhancing our ability to offer IT infrastructure as a service – an approach that addresses the most pressing challenges facing enterprise IT today. Our strategic initiatives are continuing to improve SAVVIS’ capital structure and Adjusted EBITDA margins and, most important, lay the groundwork to create increasing value for stockholders in 2008 and beyond.”

(1) | Cost of revenue excludes depreciation, amortization, and accretion. Both cost of revenue and sales, general and administrative expenses include the effect of non-cash equity-based compensation. Total non-cash equity-based compensation in cost of revenue was $1.5 million, $1.4 million, and $0.2 million and in sales, general and administrative expenses was $6.7 million, $6.4 million, and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007, and June 30, 2006, respectively. |
Total revenue for the second quarter was $200.6 million, an increase of 6% compared to the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to continued growth in hosting revenue. Compared to the first quarter 2007, excluding the impact of $3.6 million of non-recurring colocation revenue, total revenue for the second quarter 2007 decreased slightly, reflecting anticipated declines in network services and other revenue.
Growth in hosting revenue reflected re-pricing of existing colocation contracts to market rates and continued customer demand for managed hosting services. Managed hosting services contributed 25% of total revenue, up from 21% of revenue a year ago. Virtualized and utility services contributed $13.7 million of managed hosting revenue, up 121% from a year ago and 13% from the first quarter.
Network services revenue consists primarily of revenue from managed IP VPN services, internet access services sold to customers using SAVVIS hosting services, and bandwidth services to wholesale customers. In the second quarter, network services revenue of $75.6 million declined 6% from the same period a year previously, and 4% from the prior quarter. Hosting customers continued to increase their use of SAVVIS networks for data transport, driving revenue growth, which was offset by declines in wholesale bandwidth volumes and in managed IP VPN services as SAVVIS transitions its service offerings with the roll-out of enhancements to its network backbone that will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Other services revenue includes revenue from two sources that, as previously announced, SAVVIS expects will be eliminated in 2007: $1.6 million from Telerate, formerly SAVVIS’ second-largest customer, which is migrating its customers to Reuters products in 2007, and $4.0 million from the non-strategic CDN assets sold in January 2007. The majority of those customers had been transitioned to the purchaser of those assets by the end of the second quarter, so SAVVIS anticipates that other services revenue will be eliminated for the second half of 2007.
Cost of revenue was $113.8 million, and included $1.5 million of non-cash equity-based compensation costs, resulting in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin, of 43% in the current quarter, an increase from 38% in the same period a year ago, and consistent with the gross margin in the first quarter 2007.
Sales, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the current quarter were $52.3 million, as compared to $46.8 million for the same period last year and $53.2 million in the first quarter 2007. SG&A included non-cash equity-based compensation costs for the current quarter of $6.7 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year and $6.4 million in the first quarter 2007. As a percentage of revenue, excluding non-cash equity-based compensation costs, SG&A was 23% in the current quarter, the same as in the second quarter 2006 and the first quarter 2007.
SAVVIS realized a gain of $180.8 million from the sale of assets related to two data centers in June 2007, driving income from operations for the second quarter to $192.5 million. SAVVIS also recorded a charge of $45.1 million in the second quarter related to the retirement of its 15% Series A Subordinated Notes (the Subordinated Notes), including $23.2 million for a make-whole premium and $21.9 million for amortization of the original-issue discount associated with the Subordinated Notes.
In the second quarter of 2007, SAVVIS recorded an income tax benefit of $1.7 million to reflect the reduction of its expected annual effective tax rate from 5% to 1.75%. The reduction in effective tax rate reflects tax deductions taken for cash interest paid in retiring the Subordinated Notes.
SAVVIS’ consolidated net income was $133.3 million in the second quarter, compared to net losses of $11.1 million in the same period last year and net income of $114.5 million in the first quarter 2007, which included $125.2 million for the gain on a sale of non-strategic assets.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash provided by operating activities was $28.0 million in the second quarter. Cash capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $126.1 million, which included $90.1 million for previously-announced growth projects including the next-generation network and the build-out of four new data centers. SAVVIS’ cash position at June 30, 2007, was $309.0 million, compared to $98.7 million at December 31, 2006, and $221.6 million at March 31, 2007.
SAVVIS issued $345 million of unsecured 3% Convertible Senior Notes due May 2012 during the second quarter. At the end of the quarter, SAVVIS used $342.5 million of proceeds from that debt offering and cash on hand to retire all of the outstanding 15% Series A Subordinated Notes. The net effect of the two transactions was to reduce interest expenses for 2008 by approximately $55.4 million.
SAVVIS added to its cash balance in the quarter through the sale of assets related to two data centers for cash proceeds of $190.2 million, which also generated a gain, as previously discussed, of $180.8 million. The company intends to invest the proceeds of that sale in growth opportunities such as select data center expansions, potential network enhancements or possible acquisitions.
Financial Outlook
Chief Financial Officer Jeff Von Deylen said, “In the second quarter, SAVVIS drove continued strong Adjusted EBITDA growth through improvements in hosting revenue and gross margin. Our activities in the second quarter are a further step in the transition of the company to a sustainable, high-growth, high-margin business model. In the second quarter, consistent with that strategy, we monetized certain data-center assets with low growth potential to fund higher return on investment initiatives. We continue to develop our next-generation network and enhancements to our managed hosting product suite that better enable our integrated IT infrastructure solution.”
SAVVIS management’s current expectations for 2007 financial results include:
• | Total revenue in a range of $805-815 million, including |
¡ | total Hosting revenue of $480-490 million, including 26-28% growth in revenue from managed hosting services, |
¡ | Network services revenue declining approximately 3%, and |
¡ | Other services revenue declining to zero in the second half of the year; and |
• | Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $161-166 million, reflecting an Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 20%, including |
¡ | approximately $7-9 million of negative impact from operating four new data centers, as operating expenses precede anticipated customer revenue, |
¡ | approximately $8 million of negative impact from the sale of data center assets; and |

• | Cash capital expenditures of $350-360 million, including $35-40 million for the next-generation network upgrade and approximately $200 million for the four new data centers, with approximately 60-70% of the remainder reflecting ongoing customer-growth-based investments. |
¡ | Capital expenditures for 2007 will be primarily funded by existing resources and proceeds from the sales of non-strategic assets. |
¡ | SAVVIS anticipates bringing its four new data centers online beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. Those data centers are expected to generate approximately $50 million of revenue in 2008 at approximately 40% Adjusted EBITDA margins. |
* Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents income from operations before depreciation, amortization and accretion, gains on sales of assets, and non-cash equity-based compensation. We have included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that in our industry such information is a relevant measurement of a company’s operating financial performance and liquidity. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not specified by United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The increase in weighted-average common shares outstanding from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 was primarily due to the exchange of Series A Convertible Preferred stock for 37,417,347 shares of common stock on June 30, 2006. |
