Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Other Information | Basis of Presentation and Other Information Shenandoah Telecommunications Company and its subsidiaries (“Shentel”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) provide broadband data, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, via fiber optic and hybrid fiber coaxial cable networks. We also lease dark fiber and provide Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to enterprise and wholesale customers throughout the entirety of our service area. The Company also provides voice and DSL telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County and portions of adjacent counties as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”). These integrated networks are connected by a fiber network. All of these operations are contained within our Broadband reporting segment. Our Tower segment owns 220 cell towers and leases colocation space on those towers to wireless communications providers. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis we evaluate significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives of assets, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, intangible assets subject to amortization, the computation of income taxes and the fair value of interest rate swaps. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Adoption of New Accounting Standards There have been no material developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that would be expected to impact the Company. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers Contract Assets The Company’s contract assets primarily include commissions incurred to acquire contracts with customers. The Company incurs commission expenses related to in-house and third-party vendors which are capitalized and amortized over the expected customer benefit period which is approximately six years. The Company’s current contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other and the Company’s non-current contract assets are included in deferred charges and other assets in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized commission expenses is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The following tables present the activity of current and non-current contract assets: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Beginning Balance $ 8,742 $ 8,427 $ 8,646 $ 8,147 Commission payments 755 983 2,439 2,630 Contract asset amortization (822) (729) (2,410) (2,096) Ending Balance $ 8,675 $ 8,681 $ 8,675 $ 8,681 Contract Liabilities The Company’s contract liabilities include services that are billed in advance and recorded as deferred revenue, as well as installation fees that are charged upfront without transfer of commensurate goods or services to the customer. The Company’s current contract liabilities are included in advanced billings and customer deposits and the Company’s non-current contract liabilities are included in other liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Shentel’s current contract liability balances were $10.1 million and $9.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and Shentel’s non-current contract liability balances were $1.0 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Changes to the investments’ fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. Cost Method Investments : Shentel’s investment in CoBank’s Class A common stock, derived from the CoBank patronage program, represented substantially all of the Company’s cost method investments with a balance of $10.0 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognized approximately $0.1 million and $13.7 thousand of patronage income in other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately $0.4 million and $40.5 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects that approximately 88% of the patronage distributions will be collected in cash and 12% in equity in 2023. Equity Method Investments: At December 31, 2022, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). During 2023, ValleyNet ceased operations and was dissolved. In April 2023, Shentel received a payment of $0.1 million, representing Shentel’s remaining capital in the partnership, and the investment balance was derecognized from Shentel’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the commencement of dissolution proceedings, the Company and ValleyNet purchased capacity on one another’s fiber network, through related party transactions. |

The following loans were outstanding under the Credit Agreement: (in thousands) September 30, December 31, Term loan A-1 $ 75,000 $ 37,500 Term loan A-2 75,000 37,500 Total debt 150,000 75,000 Less: unamortized loan fees (94) (46) Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees $ 149,906 $ 74,954 In May 2023, Shentel amended the Credit Agreement resulting in (a) a change of the floating index rate from the one-month term London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to the one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), (b) an extension of the borrowing deadline under the Term Loans from June 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023, and (c) an extension of the first principal repayment date for the Term Loans from September 30, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Management evaluated the amendment and concluded that the amendment event represents a modification of the existing Credit Agreement; therefore, modification accounting was applied. Both Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% until May 2023 and now bear interest at one-month term SOFR plus a margin of 1.50%. The margin of 1.50% is variable and determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. The interest rate was 6.92% and 5.89% at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company incurred interest expense of $2.3 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $5.4 million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Shentel is charged commitment fees on unutilized portions of its Revolver and Term Loans. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million related to these fees during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.6 million related to these fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Both interest expense and commitment fees are included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Credit Agreement contains a borrowing deadline of December 31, 2023, after which the Company will not be able to borrow against the undrawn portion of the Term Loans. The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, including total net leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio financial covenants. Shentel’s Term Loans require quarterly payments based on a percentage of the outstanding balance. Based on the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2023, Term Loan A-1 requires quarterly principal repayments of $0.5 million from March 31, 2024 through June 30, 2024; then increasing to $0.9 million quarterly from September 30, 2024 through March 31, 2026, with the remaining balance due June 30, 2026. Based on the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2023, Term Loan A-2 requires quarterly principal repayments of $0.2 million from March 31, 2024 through March 31, 2028, with the remaining balance due June 30, 2028. The following table summarizes the expected payments of Shentel’s outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2023: (in thousands) Amount 2023 $ — 2024 3,563 2025 4,500 2026 69,187 2027 750 2028 72,000 Total $ 150,000 The Credit Agreement is fully secured by a pledge and unconditional guarantee from the Company and all of its subsidiaries, except Shenandoah Telephone Company.

Approximately 190,000 RSUs with a weighted average grant price of $25.01 vested and 9,000 RSUs with a weighted average grant price of $21.65 were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Approximately 836,000 RSUs with a weighted average grant price of $21.21 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The Company granted approximately 134,000 Relative Total Shareholder Return RSUs (“RTSRs”) awards at a weighted average grant price of $23.64 to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Approximately 293,000 RTSRs with a weighted average grant price of $25.80 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The amount of RTSRs issued are determined on the vesting date based upon the Company’s stock performance compared to a group of peer companies. The vested amounts above exclude the vesting date adjustment and issuance of RTSRs based on actual performance, which totaled approximately 13,000 RTSRs, resulting in lower shares issued upon vesting of the RTSRs than originally granted.

There were approximately 252,000 and 165,000 potentially dilutive equity awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively; however, these securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to the fact that they were anti-dilutive as a result of the Company’s net loss for the periods. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events On October 24, 2023, Shentel entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Horizon Acquisition Parent LLC (“Horizon” or “Horizon Telcom”) for $385 million (the “Horizon Transaction”). Consideration will consist of $305 million in cash and $80 million of Shentel common stock. Horizon is a leading commercial fiber provider in Ohio and adjacent states serving national wireless providers, carriers, enterprises, and government, education and healthcare customers. Based in Chillicothe, Ohio, Horizon was founded in 1895 as the incumbent local exchange carrier (“ILEC”) in Ross County, Ohio and rapidly expanded its fiber network over the past 14 years. Most recently, Horizon has pursued a strategy of investing in Fiber-to-the-Home (“FTTH”) in tier 3 & 4 markets in Ohio. Financing • Shentel intends to fund the Horizon Transaction with a combination of existing cash resources, revolving credit facility capacity and an amended and upsized credit facility. The Company has received $275 million in financing commitments from CoBank, Bank of America, Citizens Bank, N.A., and Fifth Third Bank, N.A.. • GCM Grosvenor (“GCM”), a selling unit holder of Horizon, will exchange its equity interest in Horizon for 4.08 million shares of Shentel common stock with an aggregate value of $80 million based on a reference price of $19.60 resulting in GCM owning approximately 7% of Shentel’s fully diluted common shares after the transaction is closed. • Shentel has entered into a 7% Participating Exchangeable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) investment agreement with Energy Capital Partners (“ECP”), an existing Shentel shareholder and long-time infrastructure investor, to provide $81 million of growth capital to fund the FTTH network expansion, the government grant projects and general corporate purposes. The dividend can be paid in cash or in-kind at the option of the Company. The Preferred Stock can be exchanged for Shentel common stock at an exchange price of $24.50, a 25% premium to the reference price of $19.60, under certain conditions as outlined in the investment agreement. This financing is expected to close in conjunction with the Horizon Transaction. • The Company plans to raise additional growth capital for the FTTH network expansion, government grant projects and general corporate purposes, which may include exploring strategic alternatives for its tower portfolio. The Horizon Transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2024. Shentel is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Horizon Transaction on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Investments | SERP Investments at Fair Value: The fair value of the SERP investments are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes to the investments’ fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. Cost Method Investments : Shentel’s investment in CoBank’s Class A common stock, derived from the CoBank patronage program, represented substantially all of the Company’s cost method investments with a balance of $10.0 million at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognized approximately $0.1 million and $13.7 thousand of patronage income in other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and approximately $0.4 million and $40.5 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects that approximately 88% of the patronage distributions will be collected in cash and 12% in equity in 2023. Equity Method Investments: At December 31, 2022, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). During 2023, ValleyNet ceased operations and was dissolved. In April 2023, Shentel received a payment of $0.1 million, representing Shentel’s remaining capital in the partnership, and the investment balance was derecognized from Shentel’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the commencement of dissolution proceedings, the Company and ValleyNet purchased capacity on one another’s fiber network, through related party transactions. |
