Management Commentary
“The fourth quarter marked a strong end to an exciting year for Boingo Wireless,” said David Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. “Since our May 2011 IPO, we have delivered three consecutive quarters of financial results in-line with our stated guidance range. Underlying our profitable growth is the ongoing expansion of Boingo’s global Wi-Fi network which now spans more than
1
400,000 Wi-Fi locations in over 100 countries worldwide. The continued strength of our managed and operated network and our affiliated networks continues to be a critical growth driver for both our retail and wholesale businesses. In fact, our retail service was recently voted ‘Best Wi-Fi Service’ by Global Traveler Magazine, our second win of this award in three years.”
Mr. Hagan added, “Looking ahead to 2012 and beyond, we are optimistic about our prospects. We enter 2012 with a robust pipeline of new venue launches and wholesale partnerships that are expected to propel our business in the coming quarters and years.”
Business Highlights
Key accomplishments include:
· Agreements with Nintendo of America Inc. and Nintendo of Europe to provide free Wi-Fi access to Nintendo 3DS™ owners via 42 of Boingo’s North American airports and via Boingo’s managed and operated hotspots at some of the UK’s largest airports.
· Agreements with ADR Tel S.p.A. to provide managed Wi-Fi services in Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino (FCO) and G.B. Pastine Ciampino (CIA) airports.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement Boingo Wireless’ financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boingo Wireless provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation, accretion of convertible stock, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests expense and interest and other expense (income), net.
Boingo Wireless believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Boingo’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of the company’s performance for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be
3
considered as an alternative financial measure to net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company expects to announce final results in March 2012, when it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
