Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated: PRIMUS Telecommunications Reports Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (PRIMUS) (
-- Company Emerges From Bankruptcy; Reduces Debt 55% to $256.3 Million -- Q2 Net Revenue of $196.7 Million, up 1.2% Sequentially -- Q2 Income from Operations of $14.2 million, up 3.9% Sequentially -- Q2 Adjusted EBITDA of $20.4 Million, up 3.9% Sequentially
PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (PRIMUS) (
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer K. Paul Singh stated, "On July 1, we successfully exited our expedited prearranged Chapter 11 restructuring with a significantly strengthened capital structure and no major disruption to our operating units around the world as, by design, they were excluded from the proceedings. Our debt has been reduced by over 55% to $256.3 million and, to date, we are tracking ahead of the 2009 Adjusted EBITDA projection of $66.0 million contained in our Plan of Reorganization."
Mr. Singh continued, "Second quarter 2009 results were stable despite the challenging economy and our conservative approach to sales and marketing spend during the preceding two quarters. Our operating units around the world executed within our expectations, and this execution, combined with aggressive cost management and favorable currency translation, delivered sequential growth in Adjusted EBITDA and generated $14.2 million in free cash flow. We look forward to discussing our post-Chapter 11 business plan, our outlook for the remainder of 2009 and our longer-term strategy on our September 23, 2009 strategic update call."
Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Second quarter 2009 results reflect operations recorded during the Chapter 11 proceedings from which PRIMUS emerged on July 1, 2009. PRIMUS will adopt the "fresh start" provisions of SOP No. 90-7 in the third quarter of 2009, which requires that all assets and liabilities be restated to their fair value. Certain of these fair values may differ materially from the values recorded on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company must also adopt any changes in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that it is otherwise required to adopt within twelve months of such date. For these reasons, the Company's financial statements for periods subsequent to July 1, 2009, the Effective Date of the emergence from bankruptcy, will not be comparable to previous periods.
Average Exchange Rates
Approximately 80% of the Company's net revenue is derived from sales and operations outside the United States. The table below presents the average exchange rates used to translate second quarter 2009 results and the historical currency rates used in previous quarters presented.
Second Quarter First Quarter Second Quarter (in $US) 2009 2009 2008 --------------- --------------- --------------- Australian Dollar 0.758 0.664 0.943 --------------- --------------- --------------- Canadian Dollar 0.857 0.805 0.990 --------------- --------------- --------------- United Kingdom Pound 1.547 1.434 1.971 --------------- --------------- --------------- Euro 1.360 1.304 1.563 --------------- --------------- ---------------
Net revenue, exclusive of the currency effect, decreased $11.1 million, or 5.7%, from the first quarter of 2009. Reported net revenue, inclusive of a favorable currency impact of $13.4 million, increased $2.2 million to $196.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $194.5 million in the first quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, exclusive of the currency effect, net revenue decreased $6.1 million, or 2.6%. Inclusive of an unfavorable currency effect of $33.1 million, net revenue decreased $39.2 million to $196.7 million from $235.9 million in the year ago quarter.
Net Revenue by Major Operating Segment
The following details second quarter 2009 and sequential and year-ago comparisons by major operating segment.
Canada Second Quarter 2009 First Quarter 2009 Second Quarter 2008 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ($US in 000s) $55,061 $53,245 $68,989 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Summary Variance Exclusive of Currency Effect Net revenue declined $1.5 million and $5.3 million, sequentially and year-over-year, respectively. The sequential decline is comprised of $1.0 million from voice services and $0.8 million from prepaid services, partially offset by $0.3 million of growth in internet, data and hosting services. The year-over-year decline is comprised of declines in voices services of $6.0 million partially offset by $0.7 million of growth in data and hosting services net revenue. The effect of foreign currency was a favorable $3.3 million on a sequential basis and an unfavorable $8.6 million year-over-year. Australia Second Quarter 2009 First Quarter 2009 Second Quarter 2008 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ($US in 000s) $58,475 $52,027 $75,992 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Summary Variance Exclusive of Currency Effect Net revenue declined $0.8 million and $3.2 million sequentially and year-over-year, respectively. The sequential decline is comprised of $0.3 million from residential voice services, $0.4 million from business voice services and $0.3 million from internet, data and hosting services, partially offset by $0.2 million growth in wireless services. The year-over-year decline is comprised of $5.5 million from residential voice, broadband and dial-up services, partially offset by growth of $2.3 million in services to commercial customers. The effect of foreign currency was a favorable $7.3 million on a sequential basis and an unfavorable $14.3 million year-over-year. Wholesale Second Quarter 2009 First Quarter 2009 Second Quarter 2008 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ($US in 000s) $50,279 $54,203 $48,866 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Summary Variance Exclusive of Currency Effect Sequential net revenue declined $5.8 million while year-over-year net revenue increased $8.4 million. The effect of foreign currency was a favorable $1.9 million on a sequential basis and an unfavorable $7.0 million year-over-year. United States Second Quarter 2009 First Quarter 2009 Second Quarter 2008 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ($US in 000s) $16,918 $18,095 $22,445 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Summary Variance Net revenue decreased sequentially and year-over-year through residential and small business customer losses and usage declines. Revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 6.5%, sequentially and $5.5 million, or 24.6%, year-over-year. Europe Second Quarter 2009 First Quarter 2009 Second Quarter 2008 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- ($US in 000s) $13,031 $13,637 $16,925 ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Summary Variance Exclusive of Currency Effect Net revenue declined $1.2 million and $1.5 million sequentially and year-over-year, respectively. The sequential decline is primarily attributable to the loss of $1.4 million in UK-based dial-around services partially offset by continued growth of $0.2 million in retail services in Primus France. The year-over-year decline is comprised of the loss of $1.6 million in UK-based dial-around services and $0.9 million of retail voice services partially offset by continued growth of $1.0 million in retail services in Primus France. The effect of foreign currency was a favorable $0.6 million on a sequential basis and an unfavorable $2.4 million year-over-year.
Net revenue less cost of revenue was $70.8 million, or 36.0% of net revenue, compared to $65.1 million, or 33.5% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $93.4 million, or 39.6% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential margin percentage improvement reflects the continued efforts to contain costs, a shift in product mix including less low-margin wholesale revenue and the benefit of a $1.5 million cost of sales dispute settlement. The year-over-year margin percentage decline is reflective of a second quarter 2008 non-recurring reduction to cost of revenue of $5.8 million from a favorable Australian regulatory ruling.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $50.4 million, or 25.6% of net revenue, compared to expense of $45.4 million, or 23.4% of net revenue in the prior quarter, and $70.0 million, or 29.7% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential increase in SG&A expense reflects a $3.2 million increase from foreign currency translation and a $1.4 million increase in advertising, sales and marketing and a $1.3 million increase in compensation and severance accruals, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in other SG&A. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A reflects a $7.5 million decrease from foreign currency translation, a $5.4 million decrease in advertising, sales and marketing costs, a $5.8 million decrease in salaries and general and administrative expenses, and a $0.9 million reduction in occupancy and professional fees.
Income from operations was $14.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $13.6 million in the prior quarter and a decrease of $1.0 million from $15.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $20.4 million, or 10.4% of net revenue, compared to $19.7 million, or 10.1% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $23.5 million, or 10.0% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement reflects a $1.8 million increase from currency translation and the variances described above. The year-over-year decline includes the $5.8 million benefit from the Australian regulatory ruling recorded in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure -- see non-GAAP measure reconciliations and descriptions below.
Interest expense was $3.4 million, a decrease of $7.4 million from $10.8 million in the prior quarter and a $10.2 million decrease from $13.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The sequential and year-over-year decreases are attributable to debt obligations that are subject to compromise as a consequence of the Chapter 11 restructuring process; and, therefore, not accruing interest from the Chapter 11 Petition Date to the Effective Date. Liabilities subject to compromise include the 8% Senior Notes, 141/4% Senior Secured Notes, 33/4% Convertible Notes, 5% Exchangeable Senior Notes, 123/4% Senior Notes and the Step Up Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Interest expense in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2009 is anticipated to be in the $8.0 million range.
Net income was $25.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $46.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Net income for the second quarter of 2009 includes a $24.2 million foreign currency transaction gain and a $8.3 million expense from reorganization items, reflecting professional fees related to the Chapter 11 cases. Net income in the first quarter 2009 reflected a $16.6 million gain from reorganization items as a result of the Chapter 11 filing and a loss of $3.0 million in foreign currency transactions. Net income for the second quarter 2008 included a $32.2 million gain on the early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and an $8.1 million foreign currency transaction gain.
The number of shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2009 was 173.1 million. This amount will decrease significantly in future quarters based upon the current number of basic shares outstanding of 9.6 million and the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents upon the Company's emergence from Chapter 11.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As previously announced, on July 1, 2009, PRIMUS emerged from Chapter 11 with a strengthened capital structure and significantly reduced debt obligations. Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, PRIMUS reduced its debt by 55% to $256.3 million from $572.4 million, reduced interest payments by approximately 50% and extended certain debt maturities. PRIMUS exited bankruptcy with the following debt and equity instruments:
-- $123.5 million of 141/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes with an extended maturity until May 2013; -- $95.8 million variable rate Term Loan due February 2011 (reinstated and amended); -- $29.5 million variable rate Canadian Credit Facility due May 2011 (amended); -- $7.6 million of capital lease / vendor financing agreements; -- Newly issued Class A warrants to certain former debt holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of new common stock at strike prices ranging from $12.22 to $20.50 per share, subject to adjustment; -- Newly issued Class B warrants to certain former debt holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of new common stock at a strike price of $26.01 per share, subject to adjustment; -- Contingent Value Rights to holders of old common stock representing the right to receive up to 2,665,000 shares of new common stock after the Company's equity value reaches a certain threshold; -- 9,600,000 shares of new common stock to certain former debt holders; -- 400,000 performance based restricted stock units granted to Company management; -- 400,000 service based stock options granted to Company management and employees with a strike price of $12.22 per share, subject to adjustment; -- 100,000 performance based stock options granted to Company management
PRIMUS ended the second quarter 2009 with $41.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up from $32 million at March 31, 2009. Cash uses during the quarter were comprised of $2.9 million in capital expenditures, $5.3 million for debt reduction, $3.8 million for interest, $0.5 million for taxes and $0.8 million for payment of reorganization costs. These uses were offset by $20.4 million of Adjusted EBITDA, $1.3 million from favorable working capital movements and $1.1 million from currency movements. During the second half of 2009 the Company expects to make approximately $16 million in cash payments for previously accrued reorganization fees and income and indirect taxes, which would bring our "adjusted" cash balance at June 30, 2009 to $25 million.
Free Cash Flow for the second quarter 2009 was $14.2 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior quarter and $5.1 million in the year-ago quarter. PRIMUS defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure -- see non-GAAP measure reconciliations and descriptions below.
Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "During the second quarter, while Chapter 11 proceedings were underway at the holding company level, we focused our operating units on serving our customers seamlessly. Simultaneously, we continued to manage aggressively our cost of sales and SG&A expenditures to maximize free cash flow generation."

Net revenue was $391.2 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $461.3 million for the first six months of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.1 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $38.7 million in the first six months of 2008.
