SIRIUS REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER 2007 RESULTS
- Revenue Up 51% to $226.4 Million
- Company Exceeds 7.1 Million Subscribers
- Subscriber Additions of 561,493
- Solid Cost Control Improves Cash Flow
New York – July 31, 2007–SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced strong second quarter results, including a 51% increase in revenue from the year ago quarter to $226.4 million, and strong subscriber growth of 561,493 new subscribers during the quarter driving ending subscribers to over 7.1 million.
“SIRIUS, once again, posted solid results,” said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS. “Both revenue and subscriber growth exceeded 50% while operating expenses before stock-based compensation and depreciation grew only 6%. Customer satisfaction remains high, reflected in our low all-in churn rate of 2.1% . We have added over 1.1 million net new subscribers so far this year, and second quarter results mark the seventh consecutive quarter for leadership in satellite radio net additions and the third consecutive quarter of leadership in gross subscriber additions.”
“Momentum for the pending merger with XM continues to build,” said Karmazin. “Support from our customers, suppliers and other groups representing a diverse cross-section of Americans, clearly demonstrates the public interest benefits and enhanced competition that will come from the merger. We continue to work with the FCC and the DOJ to make the case that the merger offers more choices, including a la carte offerings, and lower prices for subscribers, and we continue to expect that the merger will be completed by year-end.”
SIRIUS ended the second quarter with 7,142,538 subscribers, 53% higher than second quarter 2006 ending subscribers of 4,678,207. During second quarter 2007, SIRIUS added 561,493 net subscribers, comprised of 129,843 net additions from retail and aftermarket channels and 431,650 from the OEM channel. In the second quarter, SIRIUS captured 62% of satellite radio segment share, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of leadership in satellite radio subscriber growth.
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2007 increased to a record $226.4 million, up 51% from $150.1 million for the year-ago second quarter. Advertising revenue was $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 and average monthly revenue per subscriber (or “ARPU”) was $10.71. SAC per gross subscriber addition was $108 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $131 for the year-ago second quarter.
SIRIUS’ net loss improved by 44% to ($134.1) million, or ($0.09) per share, for the second quarter of 2007, from ($237.8) million, or ($0.17) per share, for the second quarter of 2006. The adjusted net loss for second quarter 2007 (adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation) improved to ($117.1) million, or ($0.08) per share, down from ($159.6) million, or ($0.11) per share, for second quarter 2006.
“Compared to the year ago second quarter, revenue grew by $76 million, and with a clear focus on cost efficient growth, adjusted loss from operations improved by $47 million and free cash flow improved by $53 million,” said David Frear, SIRIUS EVP and CFO. “In addition, we are pleased with the 18% improvement in SAC per gross addition in the second quarter, and with continued strong OEM subscriber growth, we now expect SAC per gross addition will approach $100 for 2007.” 2007 OUTLOOK SIRIUS today issued the following guidance for the full year 2007: PROGRAMMING ADDITIONS Exciting additions to SIRIUS’ powerful lineup of comedy, music and entertainment channels this quarter include: Jamie Foxx breaking new ground on his channel ‘The Foxxhole’, and ‘SIRIUSLY Sinatra’ bringing the voice of Frank Sinatra into the future of audio entertainment. The Grateful Dead Radio Channel will launch this summer featuring the band’s long and storied career and including special shows hosted by band members. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion of operating expenses below excludes the effects of stock-based compensation. SIRIUS believes this presentation improves the transparency of disclosure and is consistent with the way operating results are evaluated by management. SECOND QUARTER 2007 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2006 For the second quarter of 2007, SIRIUS recognized total revenue of $226.4 million compared to $150.1 million for the second quarter of 2006. This 51%, or $76.3 million, increase in revenue was driven by a $72.0 million increase in subscriber revenue resulting from the net increase in subscribers of 2,464,331 from the second quarter of 2006. The company’s adjusted loss from operations decreased $47.2 million to ($79.3) million for the second quarter of 2007 from ($126.5) million for the second quarter of 2006 (refer to the reconciliation table of net loss to adjusted loss from operations). This decrease was driven by the increase in total revenue of $76.3 million, which more than offset the $29.1 million increase in expenses. Satellite and transmission expenses decreased $11.0 million to $6.7 million for second quarter 2007 from $17.7 million for second quarter 2006. Second quarter 2006 expenses included a $10.9 million non-recurring impairment charge associated with certain satellite long-lead time parts that were no longer needed. Programming and content expenses increased $8.2 million to $53.1 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $44.9 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to license fees associated with new programming agreements. Revenue share and royalties increased $12.8 million to $29.8 million for second quarter 2007 from $17.0 million for second quarter 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the company’s revenues as well as an increase in the mix of the company’s OEM subscriber base. Customer service and billing expenses increased $5.7 million to $21.4 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $15.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to higher call center operating costs necessary to accommodate the increase in the company’s subscriber base and higher total transaction fees on the larger base. Customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber per month declined 13% to $1.05 for the second quarter of 2007 from $1.20 for the second quarter of 2006. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $5.0 million to $42.8 million for the second quarter 2007 from $47.8 million for second quarter 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower consumer advertising and reduced cooperative marketing spend with the company’s distribution partners compared to the year-ago second quarter. Subscriber acquisition costs (SAC) decreased $3.0 million, or 2.8%, to $105.7 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $108.7 million for the second quarter of 2006 despite a 21% increase in gross subscriber additions year-over-year. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower aftermarket subsidies, offset by increased OEM hardware subsidies due to higher production volume. SAC per gross subscriber addition decreased 18% to $108 for the second quarter of 2007 from $131 for the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to lower OEM costs per unit offset by a higher mix of OEM gross additions. General and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million to $27.3 million for second quarter 2007 from $19.7 million for second quarter 2006. The increase was primarily the result of higher legal fees and compensation-related costs to support the growth of the business. Engineering, design and development expenses decreased $2.5 million to $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced OEM tooling and manufacturing upgrades associated with the factory installation of SIRIUS radios in additional vehicle models. SIRIUS reported a net loss of ($134.1) million, or ($0.09) per share, for the second quarter of 2007, including a ($0.01) per share impact from stock-based compensation, compared to a net loss of ($237.8) million, or ($0.17) per share, for the second quarter of 2006, including a ($0.05) per share impact from stock-based compensation and a ($0.01) per share impact for impairment loss. The adjusted net loss per share, or net loss per share excluding stock-based compensation and impairment loss, was ($0.08) per share for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to an adjusted net loss per share of ($0.11) per share for the second quarter of 2006 (refer to the reconciliation table of net loss per share to adjusted net loss per share). SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 For the six months ended June 30, 2007, SIRIUS recognized total revenue of $430.5 million compared with $276.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This 56%, or $153.8 million, increase in revenue was primarily driven by a $147.6 million increase in subscriber revenue resulting from the net increase in subscribers of 2,464,331 from the end of the second quarter 2006. The company’s adjusted loss from operations decreased ($99.9) million to ($163.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from ($263.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 (refer to the reconciliation table of net loss to adjusted loss from operations). This decrease was driven by a 56%, or $153.8 million, increase in total revenue which more than offset the 10%, or $53.8 million, increase in expenses. Satellite and transmission expenses decreased $11.0 million to $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Second quarter 2006 expenses included a $10.9 million non-recurring impairment charge associated with certain satellite long-lead time parts that were no longer needed. Programming and content expenses increased $15.4 million to $110.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $94.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to license fees associated with new programming agreements. Revenue share and royalties increased $26.5 million to $57.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2007 from $30.5 million for six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the company’s revenues and an increase in the mix of the company’s OEM subscriber base. Customer service and billing expenses increased $9.8 million to $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to higher call center operating costs necessary to accommodate the increase in the company’s subscriber base. Customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber per month declined 19% to $1.10 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.36 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $4.7 million to $75.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $80.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower consumer advertising and reduced cooperative marketing spend with the company’s distributors. Subscriber acquisition costs decreased $13.9 million to $203.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $217.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 despite an 11% increase in gross subscriber additions. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower aftermarket subsidies, offset by increased OEM hardware subsidies due to higher production volume. SAC per gross subscriber addition decreased 13% to $106 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $122 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to lower OEM costs per unit offset by a higher mix of OEM gross additions. General and administrative expenses increased $13.7 million to $50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of higher legal fees and compensation-related costs to support the growth of the business. Engineering, design and development expenses decreased $3.8 million to $21.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced initial OEM tooling and manufacturing upgrades associated with the factory installation of SIRIUS radios in additional vehicle models. SIRIUS reported a net loss of ($278.9) million, or ($0.19) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, including a ($0.03) per share impact from stock-based compensation, compared with a net loss of ($696.4) million, or ($0.50) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, including a ($0.01) per share impact from the impairment loss and ($0.25) per share impact from stock-based compensation. The adjusted net loss per share, or net loss per share excluding stock-based compensation, was ($0.16) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with an adjusted net loss per share excluding the impairment loss and stock based compensation of ($0.24) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 (refer to the reconciliation table of net loss per share to adjusted net loss per share).

(2) SIRIUS defines SAC per gross subscriber addition as subscriber acquisition costs, excluding stock-based compensation, and margins from the direct sale of SIRIUS radios and accessories divided by the number of gross subscriber additions for the period. SAC per gross subscriber addition is calculated as follows: For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, Subscriber acquisition costs $ 105,665 $ 130,563 $ 205,782 $ 249,606 Less: stock-based compensation (7 ) (21,900 ) (1,887 ) (31,799 ) Add: margin from direct sales of SIRIUS radios and accessories 2,381 371 7,002 144 SAC $ 108,039 $ 109,034 $ 210,897 $ 217,951 Gross subscriber additions 1,002,145 830,571 1,990,603 1,791,181 SAC per gross subscriber addition $ 108 $ 131 $ 106 $ 122 (3) SIRIUS defines customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber as total customer service and billing expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. Customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber is calculated as follows: For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, Customer service and billing expenses $ 21,618 $ 15,866 $ 43,471 $ 33,728 Less: stock-based compensation (178 ) (204 ) (377 ) (448 ) Customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted $ 21,440 $ 15,662 $ 43,094 $ 33,280 Daily weighted average number of subscribers 6,811,750 4,354,447 6,554,943 4,070,075 Customer service and billing expenses, as adjusted, per average subscriber $ 1.05 $ 1.20 $ 1.10 $ 1.36 (4) SIRIUS defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities, capital expenditures and restricted and other investment activity. Free cash flow is calculated as follows: Net cash used in operating activities $ (55,900 ) $ (108,915 ) $ (189,847 ) $ (266,087 ) Additions to property and equipment (24,131 ) (22,284 ) (36,589 ) (27,780 ) Restricted and other investment activity - (2,032 ) (310 ) (4,901 ) Free cash flow $ (80,031 ) $ (133,231 ) $ (226,746 ) $ (298,768 ) (5) SIRIUS defines ARPU as the total earned subscriber revenue and net advertising revenue divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. ARPU is calculated as follows: For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 2006 2007 2006 Subscriber revenue $ 209,635 $ 137,641 $ 400,431 $ 252,822 Net advertising revenue 9,177 8,125 15,898 15,463 Total subscriber and net advertising revenue $ 218,812 $ 145,766 $ 416,329 $ 268,285 Daily weighted average number of subscribers 6,811,750 4,354,447 6,554,943 4,070,075 ARPU $ 10.71 $ 11.16 $ 10.59 $ 10.98 (6) SIRIUS believes average monthly churn; SAC per gross subscriber addition; customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber; free cash flow; and ARPU provide meaningful information regarding operating performance and liquidity and are used for internal management purposes; when publicly providing the business outlook; as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons; and to compare the company’s performance to that of its competitors. SIRIUS also believes that investors use current and projected metrics to monitor performance of the business and make investment decisions. SIRIUS believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in the calculations of SAC per gross subscriber addition and customer service and billing expenses per average subscriber is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of SIRIUS common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of subscriber acquisition costs and customer service and billing expenses. Specifically, the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense in the calculation of SAC per gross subscriber addition is critical in being able to understand the economic impact of the direct costs incurred to acquire a subscriber and the effect over time as economies of scale are reached. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. (7) SIRIUS refers to net loss before taxes; other income (expense) – including interest and investment income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliate; depreciation; impairment charges; and stock-based compensation expense as adjusted loss from operations. Adjusted loss from operations is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. The company believes adjusted loss from operations is a useful measure of its operating performance. The company uses adjusted loss from operations for budgetary and planning purposes; to assess the relative profitability and on-going performance of consolidated operations; to compare performance from period to period; and to compare performance to that of its competitors. The company also believes adjusted loss from operations is useful to investors to compare operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. The company believes that investors use current and projected adjusted loss from operations to estimate the current or prospective enterprise value and make investment decisions. Because the company funds and builds-out its satellite radio system through the periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, results of operations reflect significant charges for interest and depreciation expense. The company believes adjusted loss from operations provides useful information about the operating performance of the business apart from the costs associated with the capital structure and physical plant. The exclusion of interest expense and depreciation is useful given fluctuations in interest rates and significant variation in depreciation expense that can result from the amount and timing of capital expenditures and potential variations in estimated useful lives, all of which can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. The company believes the exclusion of taxes is appropriate for comparability purposes as the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. The company also believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of the company’s common stock. Finally, the company believes that the exclusion of equity in net loss of affiliate (SIRIUS Canada, Inc.) is useful to assess the performance of its core consolidated operations in the continental United States. To compensate for the exclusion of taxes, other income (expense), depreciation, impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense, the company separately measures and budgets for these items. There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted loss from operations in evaluating the company compared with net loss, which reflects overall financial performance, including the effects of taxes, other income (expense), depreciation, impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense. The company uses adjusted loss from operations to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate the operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net loss as disclosed in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Since adjusted loss from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, the calculation of adjusted loss from operations may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. (8) SIRIUS refers to adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share as net loss per share excluding impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. The company believes adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are useful to investors to compare its operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. The company believes the exclusion of impairment charges is appropriate for comparability purposes as the existence, amount and timing of impairment charges can vary from period to period and can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. The company also believes the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of the company’s common stock. There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share in evaluating the company compared with net loss and net loss per share, which reflects overall financial performance, including the effects of impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense. The company uses adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate the operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net loss and net loss per share as disclosed in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of operations. Since adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are non-GAAP financial measures, the calculation of adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
