Boingo Wireless Reports Strong Second Quarter 2013 Results

-- Exceeds Revenue and Profitability Guidance
-- Awarded three contracts to deploy neutral-host, multi-carrier DAS networks at the University of Arizona, Pinnacle Bank Arena and Memphis International Airport
-- Launches free Wi-Fi access for Samsung tablet users


LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Boingo Wireless (NAS: WIFI) , the leading DAS and Wi-Fi provider that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, today announced the company's financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights

Boingo Wireless reported revenue of $26.2 million, which exceeded the company's guidance range, compared to $24.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $0.4 million, or ($0.01) per diluted share. This compares to net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million compared to $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and is reconciled to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the schedule entitled "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA."

Operational Highlights

  • An agreement with the University of Arizona to design, build and manage the University's first distributed antenna system (DAS), which will provide improved voice and data coverage and capacity for Wildcat fans, students and faculty.

  • An agreement to serve as the exclusive cellular network provider for Pinnacle Bank Arena, which includes the design, deployment and management of a neutral-host, multi-carrier DAS network for enhanced mobile voice and data connectivity during events.

  • An agreement with the Memphis-Shelby Airport Authority Board of Commissions to design, build and manage a DAS network at the Memphis International Airport to improve cellular service in the terminal, ground transportation center and surrounding areas.

  • An agreement with Samsung Electronics America, Inc. to provide one year of free unlimited Wi-Fi access in North America to Galaxy Tablet 3 and Galaxy Note 8 Wi-Fi users.

  • The launch of a new advertising product that allows leading brands to reward users with free Wi-Fi access in exchange for verified downloads of their iOS or Android apps.

Management Commentary

"Our positive momentum continued through the second quarter, with all three major lines of business- retail, wholesale, and advertising - contributing to our overall performance," said David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. "Our retail and advertising businesses over-performed for the quarter to help lead us to $26.2 million in revenue, which exceeded the high end of our guidance. Stability in the wholesale sector, especially as it relates to revenue generated by DAS upgrade projects for the carriers, helped amplify the retail and advertising gains."

Mr. Hagan continued, "Strategic initiatives around DAS and advertising saw especially notable traction, as we continue to grow those lines of business. Specifically, we finalized three contracts to deploy neutral-host, multi-carrier DAS networks at the Memphis International Airport, the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska and across sections of the University of Arizona campus. On the advertising front, we completed the integration of our sponsorship and advertising platform with the Starbucks Wi-Fi network, allowing us to deliver sponsorships and display ads throughout more than 7,000 company-owned Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada."

Business Outlook

Boingo Wireless is initiating guidance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2013, as follows:

Third Quarter 2013

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $26.5 million to $28.5 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $7.0 million to $8.0 million.

  • Net income attributable to common stockholders is expected to be in the range of $0.0 million to $1.0 million, or $0.00 to $0.03 per diluted share.

Boingo Wireless is reiterating guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2013, as follows:

Full Year 2013

Conference Call Information

Members of Boingo Wireless' management will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2013 financial results beginning at 4:30 pm ET (1:30 pm PT), today, August 8, 2013. To participate in the conference call, investors from the U.S. and Canada should dial (877) 407-0789 ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time. International callers should dial (201) 689-8562.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Boingo Wireless' financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boingo Wireless provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, income tax (benefit) expense, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests and interest and other income, net.

Boingo Wireless believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Boingo's management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of the company's performance for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative financial measure to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
