Non-GAAP Measures
The terms “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Churn,” “Churn rate,” ”ARPU,” and “Market Cash Flow” are measurements used by Towerstream to monitor business performance and are not recognized measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, investors are cautioned in using or relying upon these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
We focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a principal indicator of the operating performance of our business. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, stock-based compensation, other non-operating income or expenses as well as gain or loss on (i) disposal of property and equipment, (ii) nonmonetary transactions, and (iii) business acquisitions. Adjusted Market EBITDA also excludes corporate overhead expenses and other centralized costs. We believe that Adjusted Market EBITDA trends are insightful indicators of our markets’ relative performance, and whether our markets are able to produce sufficient market cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditure needs.
The term “Core Operating Expenses” includes customer support services, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, and excludes cost of revenues, depreciation and amortization.
The terms “Churn” and “Churn rate” refer to the percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from customers disconnecting from our network or reducing the amount of their bandwidth. The term “ARPU” refers to the monthly average revenue per user, or customer, being generated from those customers under contract at the end of each indicated period. We calculate ARPU by dividing our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) at the end of a period by the number of customers generating that MRR. ARPU of new customers is calculated in the same manner but only includes new customers who entered into contracts during the indicated period. Market Cash Flow represents the amount of cash generated in a market after deducting a market’s direct operating expenses from that market’s revenues. Market Cash Flow does not include (i) centralized costs which support all markets collectively or (ii) any network related capital expenditures incurred in a market.
The Non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-recurring expenses and Wi-Fi network expenses, has been reconciled to Net loss as follows:

Analysis of Third Quarter Results of Operations
Revenues for the third quarter 2011 increased 3% from the second quarter 2011 and increased 33% compared to the third quarter 2010. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 24% growth in our customer base from approximately 2,600 customers at the end of the third quarter 2010 to approximately 3,200 at the end of the third quarter 2011.
ARPU of new customers increased 3% in the third quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 15% compared to the third quarter 2010. New higher ARPU point-to-point customers continued to increase in the third quarter 2011. ARPU of all customers in the third quarter 2011 increased 1% compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 6% compared to the third quarter 2010.
Customer churn improved to 1.27% compared to 1.56% for the second quarter 2011 and 1.60% for the third quarter 2010. Our churn rate is below our targeted range of 1.4% to 1.7% and industry averages.
Depreciation expense increased 15% in the third quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 39% compared to the third quarter 2010. The base of depreciable assets was 10% higher at the end of the third quarter 2011 as compared to the second quarter 2011 and 46% higher compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increased depreciable base reflects continued growth in the core business as well as spending on the Wi-Fi network.
Amortization expense decreased 19% in the third quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 81% compared to the third quarter 2010. The year-over-year increase relates to customer based intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Pipeline Wireless in the fourth quarter 2010 and One Velocity in the second quarter 2011. The customer based intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Sparkplug Chicago were fully amortized as of June 30, 2011.
Customer support expenses increased 19% in the third quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 37% compared to the third quarter 2010. The year-over-year increase reflects staffing additions and other costs incurred to support a customer base which increased 24% over the one year period.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 2% in the third quarter 2011 compared to the second quarter 2011 and increased 5% compared to the third quarter 2010. The increase related to higher commissions earned.
