Financial Highlights for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2013
- Revenues were $156.3 million, compared to $93.4 million in the same period of 2012. On a pro forma basis, revenues were flat year-over-year and increased by 1.4% when excluding the loss of our prison services contract with the State of Illinois. Increases in data, internet and subsidy revenues were offset by declines in local calling, network access, long distance and prison services (which is in other operations).
- Income from operations was $28.4 million, compared to $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. The increase is primarily due to the SureWest acquisition, growth in the business and synergy realization. In addition, the first quarter of 2012 included $4.8 million in transaction and severance costs related to the acquisition versus $1.6 million in the current quarter.
- Interest expense, net was $24.6 million, compared to $14.6 million in the same quarter last year. The increase is mostly attributable to $8.2 million in expense related to our Senior Notes offering for the SureWest acquisition and, in part, to our fourth quarter 2012 refinancing of our term debt.
- Other income, net was $8.7 million, compared to $6.5 million for same period in 2012. Cash distributions from our Verizon wireless partnerships were $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $6.2 million for the same quarter of 2012.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $6.8 million, compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2012. "Adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders" excludes certain items in the manner described in the table provided in this release. On that basis, "adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders" was $8.2 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same quarter of 2012.
- Diluted net income per common share was $0.17, compared to $0.06 in the first quarter of 2012. "Adjusted diluted net income per share" excludes certain items in the manner described in the table provided in this release. On that basis, "adjusted diluted net income per share" for the current quarter was $0.21 compared to $0.18 for the prior year period.
- Net cash provided from operating activities was $36.2 million, compared to $21.6 million for the first quarter in 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, as well as the conference call, includes disclosures regarding "EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA", "cash available to pay dividends" and the related "dividend payout ratio", "total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio", "adjusted diluted net income per share" and "adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders", all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, they should not be construed as alternatives to net cash from operating or investing activities, cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP and are not, on their own, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, not all companies use identical calculations, and the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the tables that follow.
Adjusted EBITDA is comprised of EBITDA, adjusted for certain items as permitted or required by the lenders under the credit facility in place at the end of each quarter in the periods presented. The tables that follow include an explanation of how adjusted EBITDA is calculated for each of the periods presented. EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization on a historical basis. We believe net cash provided by operating activities is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to EBITDA.
Cash available to pay dividends represents adjusted EBITDA plus cash interest income less (1) cash interest expense, (2) capital expenditures and (3) cash income taxes; this calculation differs in certain respects from the similar calculation used in the credit agreement.
We present adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the related dividend payout ratio for several reasons. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio are useful as a means to evaluate our ability to fund our estimated uses of cash (including interest on our debt) and pay dividends. In addition, we have presented adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio to investors in the past because they are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, and management believes presenting them here provides a measure of consistency in our financial reporting. Adjusted EBITDA and cash available to pay dividends, referred to as Available Cash in our credit agreement, are also components of the restrictive covenants and financial ratios contained in the credit agreement that requires us to maintain compliance with these covenants and limit certain activities, such as our ability to incur debt and to pay dividends. The definitions in these covenants and ratios are based on adjusted EBITDA and cash available to pay dividends after giving effect to specified charges. In addition, adjusted EBITDA, cash available to pay dividends and the dividend payout ratio provide our board of directors with meaningful information to determine, with other data, assumptions and considerations, our dividend policy and our ability to pay dividends under the restrictive covenants in the credit agreement and to measure our ability to service and repay debt. We present the related "total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA coverage ratio" principally to put other non-GAAP measures in context and facilitate comparisons by investors, security analysts and others; this ratio differs in certain respects from the similar ratio used in our credit agreement. These measures differ in material respects from the ratios used in our Senior Notes indenture.
These non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. In particular, adjusted EBITDA does not represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since items such as debt repayment and interest payments are not deducted from such measure. Similarly, while we may generate cash available to pay dividends, we are not required to use any such cash to pay dividends, and the payment of any dividends is subject to declaration by our board of directors, compliance with applicable law and the terms of our credit agreement. Because adjusted EBITDA is a component of the dividend payout ratio and the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA, these measures are also subject to the material limitations discussed above. In addition, the ratio of total net debt to last twelve month adjusted EBITDA is subject to the risk that we may not be able to use the cash on the balance sheet to reduce our debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Management believes these ratios are useful as a means to evaluate our ability to incur additional indebtedness in the future.
We present the non-GAAP measures adjusted diluted net income per share and adjusted diluted net income attributable to common stockholders because our net income and net income per share are regularly affected by items that occur at irregular intervals or are non-cash items. We believe that disclosing these measures assists investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating both our company over time and the relative performance of the companies in our industry.
Certain current and prior year GAAP amounts have been modified to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition of SureWest Communications (the "Acquisition") and factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact. The unaudited Pro forma financial information, which has been prepared for the periods presented, gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012.
We have also presented various Adjusted Pro Forma metrics and financial information as if the acquisition had occurred as of December 31, 2011 in order to provide a better view of the combined Company's period over period performance. In calculating the unaudited Adjusted Pro Forma metrics and financial information, we did not adjust certain items to give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012, as required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.
