1 | DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||
Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company” and “ACS”), a Delaware corporation, through its operating subsidiaries, provides integrated communication services to business, wholesale and consumer customers in the State of Alaska and beyond using its statewide and interstate telecommunications network. | |||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: | |||
• Alaska Communications Systems | • Crest Communications Corporation (“Crest”) | ||
Holdings, Inc. (“ACS Holdings”) | |||
• WCI Cable, Inc. | |||
• ACS of Alaska, LLC. (“ACSAK”) | • WCIC Hillsboro, LLC. | ||
• ACS of the Northland, LLC. (“ACSN”) | • Alaska Northstar Communications, LLC. | ||
• ACS of Fairbanks, LLC. (“ACSF”) | • WCI Lightpoint, LLC. | ||
• ACS of Anchorage, LLC. (“ACSA”) | • Worldnet Communications, Inc. | ||
• ACS Wireless, Inc. (“ACSW”) | • Alaska Fiber Star, LLC. | ||
• ACS Long Distance, LLC. (“ACSLD”) | |||
• ACS Internet, LLC. (“ACSI”) | |||
• ACS Messaging, Inc. (“ACSM”) | |||
• ACS Cable Systems, LLC. (“ACSC”) | |||
In addition to the wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company owns a 49% interest in TekMate, LLC (“TekMate”) and a 33% interest in Alaska Wireless Network, LLC (“AWN”) which are represented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as equity method investments. See Note 2 Equity Method Investments for additional information. | |||
Basis of Presentation | |||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. | |||
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented. The comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of comprehensive income which might be expected for the entire year or any other interim periods. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. | |||
Use of Estimates | |||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including estimates of probable losses and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. | |||
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | |||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but does require additional information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The required disclosures are presented in Note 3 Fair Value Measurements. | |||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |||
As of September 30, 2013, there were no recently issued accounting standards the future adoption of which is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations. |

2 | EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS | ||||||||||||
The Company’s equity method investments consist of a 49% interest in TekMate and a 33% interest in AWN. The following table provides the Company’s ownership interest and investment in TekMate and AWN at the dates indicated: | |||||||||||||
Ownership | September 30, | December 31, | |||||||||||

Alaska Wireless Network, LLC | 33 | % | 205,542 | — | |||||||||
TekMate | |||||||||||||
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s interest in TekMate’s loss was $3 and TekMate made no cash distributions to the Company. At September 30, 2013, there were no undistributed earnings. | |||||||||||||
AWN | |||||||||||||
On July 22, 2013, the Company and General Communication, Inc. (“GCI”) completed the transactions contemplated by the June 4, 2012 Asset Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) between themselves, two of their respective subsidiaries (the “ACS Member” and the “GCI Member”) and AWN for the purpose of combining their wireless networks into AWN. | |||||||||||||
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the ACS Member sold certain wireless assets to the GCI Member for a cash payment of $100,000. The GCI Member then contributed these assets, together with GCI’s wireless assets, to AWN in exchange for a two-thirds membership interest in AWN. The ACS Member contributed the Company’s wireless assets that were not sold to GCI to AWN in exchange for a one-third membership interest in AWN. A national valuation firm is engaged by ACS and GCI to assist in the determination of the enterprise fair value of AWN and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities. We are in the process of finalizing this valuation which is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2013. The preliminary estimate of fair value of the Company’s interest in AWN is $200,000. The estimate may be adjusted upon finalization. The assets sold or contributed included spectrum licenses and wireless switching and transmission equipment having a carrying value on the Company’s books of $87,542. Additionally, the Company contributed certain network usage rights necessary to operate the combined Alaska state-wide network contributed to AWN. | |||||||||||||
Contributed liabilities included certain asset retirement obligations and the obligations arising under the contributed contracts and direct third-party data circuit costs provided by tariff or purchase orders after the closing date. | |||||||||||||
At the closing, the parties to the AWN transaction entered into the First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of The Alaska Wireless Network, LLC (the “Operating Agreement”) and other related agreements which will govern the ongoing relationship among the parties. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, AWN will generally be managed by its majority owner, GCI, subject to certain protective rights retained by the Company and representation of one of three seats on AWN’s Board. Accordingly, ACS has the ability to exercise significant influence over AWN and accounts for its investment under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures. | |||||||||||||
The Operating Agreement provides that the ACS Member is entitled to a cumulative preferred cash distribution of up to $12,500 of Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as defined in the agreement, in each of the first eight quarters after closing and $11,250 in each of the eight quarters thereafter (ACS’ preference period). Such preferred cash distributions will be made on a monthly basis. GCI Member will receive distributions of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow in excess of the preferred distributions in each quarter during ACS’ preference period. The distributions to each member are subject to certain adjustments based on decreases in the number of ACS Member and GCI Member connections, with the aggregate adjustment capped at $21,800 for each member over the respective testing periods for each member. At the end of ACS’ preference period and payment of accumulated preference amounts, distributions will be made in accordance with membership interests. | |||||||||||||
In accordance with ASC 810-10, paragraph 40-6 Deconsolidation, the Contribution Agreement and the Operating Agreement cannot be bifurcated and are treated as a single transaction for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the sale by ACS of certain wireless assets to GCI, the contribution by ACS of other certain wireless assets directly to AWN, and the acquisition of one-third interest in AWN by ACS are accounted for as a single transaction. | |||||||||||||
In the third quarter 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $132,424 representing the gain on the sale of wireless assets to GCI and the contribution of wireless to AWN. Approximately $83,200 of the pre-tax gain relates to ACS’ 1/3rd retained interest in its wireless assets sold/contributed to AWN. | |||||||||||||
During the preference period, income from AWN will be bifurcated between equity in earnings ($8,064 for the third quarter) and AWN excess distribution ($2,867 for the third quarter, representing contingent consideration). In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, specifically July 22, 2013 through September 30, 2013, the Company’s share of AWN’s adjusted free cash flow was $9,556, of which $5,389 was received during the period and $4,167 was paid within the 12-day contractual period. | |||||||||||||
AWN is accounting for the excess distribution as a form of redeemable preferred equity issued as part of the transaction and is presenting the estimated value as of September 30, 2013, of $66,800, as a component of equity in its financial statements. This accounting differs from our method of accounting for the excess distribution, in combination with the connection adjustments, as contingent consideration issued in connection with a business combination. The contingent consideration is treated as a gain contingency by us and recognized when realized or realizable. We intend to continue to work to resolve this discrepancy and expect to have this completed by the end of the year. | |||||||||||||
Condensed financial information on AWN is as follows: | |||||||||||||

The excess of cost over the Company’s share of net assets in AWN, excluding amounts representing ACS’ excess preferred distributions, is estimated to be $35,501 at September 30, 2013. This equity-method goodwill represents the increase in basis of the GCI Member’s contribution to AWN, as AWN is accounting for the GCI member’s contribution at carryover basis and ACS is accounting for it at estimated fair value. Approximately 64.5% of this equity-method goodwill represents an increase in the basis of GCI’s contributed assets and will be amortized over the estimated remaining useful lives of these assets. The remaining portion of this equity-method goodwill is not amortized; however, the investment in AWN is analyzed for impairment. No impairment has been recorded on ACS’ investment of AWN to-date. | |||||||||||||
Additionally on July 22, 2013, the Company made a $65,000 principal payment on the term loan under its 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility”). As a result of this incremental principal payment in the third quarter 2013, the Company terminated $192,500 of its $385,000 total notional floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and paid charges of $4,073. Also in the third quarter 2013, the portion of unrealized losses on this swap recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss, from the swap’s inception through the date hedge accounting treatment was discontinued (November 1, 2012), associated with the variable rate interest payments underlying the accelerated $65,000 principal payment, were reclassified to loss on extinguishment of debt. The amount of this reclassification was $707. The remaining balance of amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with this hedge will be amortized to interest expense over the period of the remaining originally designated hedged variable rate interest payments. |

3 | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values of cash equivalents, restricted cash, other short-term monetary assets and liabilities and capital leases approximate carrying values due to their nature. The non-monetary consideration exchanged in the Company’s deconsolidation, related to the AWN transaction, has been valued using multiple valuation methods using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, convertible notes and other long-term obligations of $438,756 at September 30, 2013, were estimated based primarily on quoted market prices (Level 1). The carrying values of these liabilities totaled $457,647 at September 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company has developed valuation techniques based upon observable and unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of non-current monetary assets and liabilities. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured, as well as their level within the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, at each hierarchical level: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value of AWN | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As described in Note 2 Equity Method Investments, a national valuation firm was engaged by ACS and GCI to assist in the determination of the enterprise fair value of AWN and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities. We are in the process of finalizing this valuation which is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2013. The preliminary estimate of fair value of the Company’s interest in AWN is $200,000 and the contributed network usage rights is $77,000. The estimates may be adjusted upon finalization. The deferred AWN capacity revenue ($3,852 in accounts payable, accrued and other current liabilities and $72,485 in other long-term liabilities) represents the value of the capacity contributions and the operations and maintenance support of these facilities. The benefit of this deferred revenue will be recognized over 20 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Prior to the AWN transaction, the Company had three floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to manage variable interest rate risk. The notional amount of these swaps was $192,500, $115,500 and $77,000 with interest rates of 6.963%, 6.970% and 6.975%, respectively, inclusive of a 4.5% LIBOR spread. The swaps began on June 30, 2012 and expire on September 30, 2015. At low LIBOR rates, payments under the swaps increased the Company’s cash interest expense. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
On November 1, 2012, the effective date of the amendment to the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, and as a result of the incremental $65,000 AWN transaction principal payment on the term loan required by this amendment, it was determined that the swap in the notional amount of $192,500 no longer met the hedge effectiveness criteria under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, hedge accounting treatment was discontinued prospectively on this swap effective November 1, 2012, and subsequent changes in the fair value were recognized as interest expense. Amounts recorded to other comprehensive loss from the date of the swap’s inception through October 31, 2012 were amortized to interest expense over the period of the originally scheduled interest payments. On July 19, 2013, when the Company received final approval from the SEC regarding the investment company act, the AWN transaction moved from “possible” to “probable” and triggered the movement of $707 from other comprehensive loss to loss on the extinguishment of debt, representing the portion of the $192,500 swap that was over-hedged when the $65,000 payment was made. The remaining amount will be amortized from other comprehensive loss to interest expense over the life of the term loan. The $192,500 swap settled on August 1, 2013 for $4,073 in cash and, simultaneously, the marked-to-market resulted in an adjustment to interest expense of $231. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with the November 1, 2012 amendment, the notional amount of the two remaining swaps are $115,500 and $77,000 with interest rates of 7.220% and 7.225%, respectively, inclusive of a 4.75% LIBOR spread. The outstanding amount of the two remaining swaps as of period-end are reported on the balance sheet at fair value, represented by the estimated amount the Company would receive, or pay, to terminate the swaps. They are valued using models based on readily observable market parameters for all substantial terms of the contracts and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Earnings Per Share | ' | ||||||||||||||||
7 | EARNINGS PER SHARE | ||||||||||||||||
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potential common share equivalents include options, restricted stock and SSARs granted to employees and deferred shares granted to directors. The Company includes dilutive stock options based on the treasury stock method. Excluded from the calculation were options and SSARs totaling 299 and 311 which were out-of-the-money and therefore anti-dilutive at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, shares related to the Company’s convertible notes, which were anti-dilutive for the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, were excluded. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company enters into purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary course of business, including minimum purchase agreements with certain suppliers of handsets. The Company also has long-term purchase contracts with vendors to support the on-going needs of its business. These purchase commitments and contracts have varying terms and in certain cases may require the Company to buy goods and services in the future at predetermined volumes and at fixed prices. The Company also has an obligation to spend up to $5,000 in capital expenditures to allow AWN to access certain components of the capacity contributed by the Company to AWN. | ||
The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and has recorded litigation reserves of $925 at September 30, 2013 against certain current claims and legal actions. The Company’s estimated range of reasonably possible losses does not materially differ from what has been reserved. Accordingly, the Company believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows. It is the Company’s policy to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred. |

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. | |
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows for all periods presented. The comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of comprehensive income which might be expected for the entire year or any other interim periods. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, including estimates of probable losses and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. | |

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | |
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This ASU does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but does require additional information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. An entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The required disclosures are presented in Note 3 Fair Value Measurements. | |
