BEVERLY, Mass., Oct. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATN ATNI today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion of the Company's results is focused on its continuing operations, and comparisons are to the same period in the prior year.

Business Review and Outlook

"ATN's operating performance in the third quarter was broadly in line with our expectations excluding the impact of the September hurricanes on the U.S. Virgin Islands," said Michael Prior, Chief Executive Officer.  "As previously disclosed, we had anticipated a year-over-year decline in wireless revenues resulting from contractual pricing changes in our domestic wholesale wireless business.  That was the case in the third quarter, but we were pleased to see traffic was modestly better than we had expected in this seasonally stronger period.  Approximately half of the decline in wireline revenues from last year related to the sale of our U.S. wireline business this past March.  The other half of the decline reflected the impact from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which significantly impacted the customers and damaged the network of Viya, our Virgin Islands subsidiary, in September.

"We could not be prouder of Viya's employees and leadership team for the work they have done before, during and after the storm.  They have been instrumental in leading, coordinating and partnering with local and federal authorities and charitable organizations on many community relief efforts.  Among other things Viya has been coordinating damage assessments with the local power authority, providing free wireless hot spots to the community and restoring critical services.  These recovery efforts have been supported by numerous engineers and technical and other employees from within the ATN group.

"We have been able to restore wireless coverage to a large part of St. Thomas and expect to bring up wireless service on St. Croix over the next few weeks.  St. John, the smallest of the main islands, is being serviced with hot spots.  Our damage assessment has been hampered by the still devastating island conditions and lack of commercial power and therefore is not yet complete.  We currently estimate that approximately one third of our wireline plant sustained significant damage, but only a very small percentage of our wireline customers are currently receiving service, due to the lack of commercial power as well as the damage to many residences.  Until commercial electricity is restored to more of the territory, it is difficult to assess the timeline for restoring wireline services, which currently comprise most of our revenue in the USVI.  We do have insurance for named storms which compensates us for replacement costs of damaged property, extra expenses and business interruption up to a net coverage of approximately $34 million, but we believe total losses for these items will exceed this level.  Additionally, from a financial reporting standpoint, we do not anticipate the positive offset from insurance proceeds to be recognized until 2018.  We expect that the effect on our Adjusted EBITDA of the loss of wireline service revenues from our U.S. Virgin Island properties will be most pronounced in the fourth quarter of this year, with progressive improvement expected over the following two to three quarters.

"In the third quarter, we made progress in our renewable energy venture in India, Vibrant Energy.  We received final regulatory approval for an 11MW (DC) project installation, and we have three additional projects with a combined 29MW (DC) completed and producing power to the grid, but we are awaiting regulatory approval to begin billing our identified customers.

"We completed over $10 million of repurchases of the Company's common stock during the third quarter as part of the previously announced shift in our capital allocation strategy.  Additionally, we made a minority investment in a newly formed Australian telecommunications infrastructure company, and we continue to evaluate other opportunities to put our significant balance sheet capacity to work," Mr. Prior concluded.

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

The Company intends to provide an updated estimate of the loss on damaged assets and other hurricane related charges in the U.S. Virgin Islands with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter 2017 to be filed with the SEC as its assessment of the hurricanes impact on operations is still ongoing.

Third quarter 2017 revenues were $122.1 million, a 12% decrease from the $138.8 million reported for the third quarter of 2016.  Revenue decreases for the quarter include $7.3 million from the sale of our U.S. Wireline and St. Maarten businesses in the first quarter of the year and the sale of the British Virgin Island business this quarter, $4.4 million in service disruption credits issued to customers as a result of the hurricanes, and declines in U.S. Telecom revenues mainly related to lower contractual rates.  Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter was $37.7 million, 19% below the prior year period, primarily associated with the foregoing revenue decreases.  Operating loss for the third quarter was $19.5 million due to expenses and charges related to the hurricanes as well as other revenue declines.  Operating income excluding hurricane related charges2 for the third quarter was $17.0 million.

Net loss attributable to ATN's stockholders for the third quarter was $24.8 million or $1.53 loss per share, a decrease over the prior year net income of $7.2 million or $0.44 income per share.  Net Income excluding hurricane related charges2 for the third quarter was $11.9 million, or $0.73 per share.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2017 were $373.5 million, a 14% increase from the $328.5 million reported for the same period in 2016.  Revenue increases for this period are mostly due to the impact of the 2016 acquisitions in Bermuda and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first nine months of 2017 was $118.0 million, an increase of 3% from the prior year.  The operating income of $14.1 million for the first nine months of 2017 includes $36.6 million of charges related to hurricane damages this quarter without the benefit of any offset from related insurance claim proceeds.  Operating income excluding hurricane related charges2 for the first nine months of 2017 is $50.7 million.  Net loss attributable to ATN stockholders was $12.0 million or $0.74 loss per share, as compared to the net income attributable to ATN stockholders of $10.2 million and $0.63 per share in the prior year period. Net income excluding hurricane related charges2 for the first nine months of 2017 was $24.6 million or $1.52 per diluted share.

Third Quarter 2017 Operating Highlights

The Company has three reportable segments: (i) U.S. Telecom; (ii) International Telecom; and (iii) Renewable Energy. 

U.S. Telecom

U.S. Telecom revenues consist mainly of wireless revenues from our voice and data wholesale roaming operations and our smaller retail operations in the Southwestern United States, as well as enterprise and wholesale wireline revenues.  Total U.S. Telecom segment revenues were $40.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, a 16% decrease from the $47.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2016.  U.S. Wireless revenues declined 8% to $36.8 million compared with $40.1 million in the prior year quarter, due mostly to lower contractual wholesale roaming rates and revenue caps.   U.S. Wireline revenues decreased to $2.3 million from $6.9 million in the prior year primarily as a result the sale of our Northeastern U.S. wireline business in early March 2017. The Company ended the third quarter of 2017 with 1,061 domestic base stations in service compared to 926 at the end of last year's third quarter. 

U.S. Telecom Adjusted EBITDA1 of $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 decreased 11% compared to the prior year's $24.3 million.  The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in wireless revenues as previously noted partially offset by reductions in wireless operating expenses.   

International Telecom

International Telecom consists of a broad range of information and communications services including wireline and wireless data, internet, voice and video service revenues from our operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean including the U.S. Virgin Islands. International Telecom revenues were $77.0 million in the third quarter of 2017, a 10% decrease from the $85.3 million reported in the third quarter of 2016. In addition to the impact of the sale of our businesses in St. Maarten and the British Virgin Islands earlier in 2017, $4.4 million of service credits were issued for the month of September to customers impacted by hurricane outages in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

International Telecom Adjusted EBITDA1 of $20.3 million in the third quarter decreased 18% from $24.7 million in the prior year period.  The decrease is the primarily the result of the revenue impacts from service credits  following the hurricanes in the U.S. Virgin Islands, but this figure excludes the loss on damaged assets and other hurricane related charges.    

Renewable Energy

Renewable Energy segment revenues are generated principally by the sale of energy and solar renewable energy credits from our 28 commercial solar projects in the United States.  For the third quarter of 2017, revenues from our renewable energy business were $5.0 million, down 15% from the $5.9 million in the prior year mostly due to the scheduled expiration of certain renewable energy credits.  Adjusted EBITDA1 for the Renewable Energy segment was $2.6 million in the third quarter, down $1.4 million from the prior year quarter due to the lower revenue and increased operating expenses from the ramp up of our solar business in India ahead of the offsetting revenue.   

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 were $224.6 million.  In addition, the Company held $7.9 million of short-term investments and $17.0 million of restricted cash.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $121.4 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with $92.1 million for the first nine months of 2016.  The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is due to the 2017 growth in revenue as a result of the 2016 acquisitions in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Bermuda, in addition to the net impact of 2016 transaction-related charges and impairments of assets, and changes in working capital.  During the first nine months of 2017, the Company used cash of $32.2 million for investments in new assets and businesses after netting proceeds received from the sales and dispositions of other business lines.  Total capital expenditures were $107.7 million for the first nine months of 2017.  The Company expects full year 2017 capital expenditures for its domestic and international telecom businesses to be between the $95.0 million to $110.0 million range estimated at the beginning of the year.  Expenditures include planned major network expansions and upgrades in multiple markets, including the recently acquired Bermuda and U.S. Virgin Islands businesses, and therefore are higher than what we would consider to be ordinary course capital expenditures.  These projects include extensive fiber builds and upgrades as well as market-wide mobile data network upgrades but exclude the restoration work being undertaken in the U.S. Virgin Islands post hurricanes Irma and Maria.  In addition, capital expenditures for our renewable energy business are expected to be in the range of $30.0 million to $40.0 million for the full year 2017, primarily related to ongoing construction of solar projects in India.

Through September 30, the Company has repurchased 201,932 shares of common stock totaling $10.6 million and paid $16.5 million in dividends in 2017.
