Outlook — First Quarter 2008 Estimates
• | Cogent estimates net service revenue for the first quarter of 2008 to increase by over 4.0% from the fourth quarter of 2007 to be over $52.0 million. |
• | Cogent estimates that its on-net revenues for the first quarter of 2008 will increase by over 7% from the fourth quarter of 2007. |
• | Cogent estimates EBITDA, as adjusted, for the first quarter of 2008 to be over $14.5 million. |
• | Cogent estimates its net loss per basic and diluted common share for the first quarter of 2008 to be between $(0.17) and $(0.22). Cogent’s guidance includes an expected $5.5 million to $6.0 million of estimated non-cash equity-based compensation expense and assumes approximately 46.0 million weighted average common shares outstanding. |
Outlook — Full Year 2008 Estimates
Cogent is refining and updating the following previously released fiscal year 2008 estimates:
• | Cogent estimates net service revenue for fiscal 2008 to be between $225.0 million and $235.0 million. |
• | Cogent estimates that its on-net revenues will increase from 30% to 33% from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008. |
• | Cogent estimates EBITDA, as adjusted, for fiscal 2008 to be between $75.0 million and $80.0 million. |
• | Cogent estimates its net loss per basic and diluted common share for fiscal 2008 to be between $(0.10) and $(0.20) from its previously released guidance of between $(0.15) and $(0.30). Cogent’s 2008 net loss per basic and diluted common share guidance includes $18.0 million to $19.0 million of non-cash equity-based compensation expense from its previously released guidance of between $14.5 million to $15.5 million of non-cash equity-based compensation expense and assumes 46.0 million weighted average common shares outstanding from its previously released guidance of 47.0 million weighted average common shares outstanding. |
• | Cogent’s previously released fiscal 2008 guidance of its net loss per basic and diluted common share assumed the adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-a “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-a, as proposed, was expected to result in an increase to the discount on Cogent’s convertible senior notes with a corresponding increase to stockholder’s equity. This accounting change was expected to result in an additional $9.0 million of non-cash interest expense for fiscal 2008. The adoption date of FASB Staff Position APB 14-a was previously expected to be January 1, 2008. The adoption date has been delayed by the FASB, so Cogent has removed the impact of the adoption of FASB Staff Position APB 14-a from its fiscal 2008 guidance. |

Schedule of Non-GAAP Measures — EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted
EBITDA represents net (loss) income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Management believes the most directly comparable measure to EBITDA calculated in accordance with GAAP is cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities.
EBITDA, as adjusted, represents EBITDA less gains on lease restructurings. The Company has excluded these gains because they relate to its capital structure. The Company believes EBITDA, as adjusted, is a useful measure of its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, expand its business and make bonus determinations for its employees. EBITDA, as adjusted, is an integral part of the internal reporting and planning system used by management as a supplement to GAAP financial information. The Company also believes that EBITDA is a frequently used measure by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of issuers.
EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and accordingly, should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of results as reported under GAAP, but rather as a supplemental measure to GAAP. For example, EBITDA is not intended to reflect the Company’s free cash flow, as it does not consider certain current or future cash requirements, such as capital expenditures, contractual commitments, and changes in working capital needs, interest expenses and debt service requirements. The Company’s calculations of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, may also differ from the calculation of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, by its competitors and other companies and as such, its utility as a comparative measure is limited.
