Lumos Networks Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results

Delivers 3Q15 Revenue of $51 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $22.3 Million

Reiterates 2015 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance of Approximately $202 Million and Approximately $92 Million, respectively

3Q15 Fiber to the Cell (“FTTC”) Revenue exceeds $7.5 million, up 59% Year-over-Year

3Q15 Enterprise Revenue increases more than 10% Year-over-Year to $11.6 Million

WAYNESBORO, VA – November 2, 2015 – Lumos Networks Corp. (“Lumos Networks”, “Lumos” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LMOS), a leading fiber-based service provider of data, voice and IP-based telecommunication services in the Mid-Atlantic region, today announced its third quarter financial results.

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2015 was $51 million, up nearly 1% from the prior year period. Total Data segment revenue grew over 8% year-over-year to approximately $28.6 million and constituted over 56% of total revenue, up from 52% in the prior year period.

In the aggregate, FTTC and Enterprise revenue grew nearly 6% sequentially and 26% year-over-year to over $19 million in the third quarter, and constituted 67% of total data revenue, up from 57% in the prior year period. In the aggregate, Ethernet and other advanced fiber technologies account for 90-95% of revenue within these two product groups.

The Company generated operating income of $8.6 million and $26.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Net income attributable to Lumos Networks Corp. was $1.3 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015 and $7.4 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

“In the third quarter, we continued to make steady progress in our transformation into a fiber bandwidth infrastructure provider,” said Timothy G. Biltz, President and CEO of Lumos Networks. “In addition to reiterating our 2015 guidance for overall revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, we are maintaining our target for overall 2015 Data segment revenue of approximately $115 million, or 8% year-over-year organic revenue growth.”

“Our organic growth rate in our data business, which is amongst the higher in the fiber industry, is driven by continued strength in both our FTTC and Enterprise businesses,” Mr. Biltz continued. “For 2015, we maintain our target for $29 million in FTTC revenue, up approximately 45% year-over-year, and for $46 million in Enterprise revenue, up over 8% from 2014.”

“Our key focus remains the completion of the vast majority of our transformational network expansion project of approximately 665 miles into the Richmond and Norfolk markets by the end of 2015. This network, underpinned by a 257 FTTC site build with a major US wireless carrier, increases our Enterprise addressable market by approximately 60%, or $135 million, and significantly de-risks our business model in 2016.”

Third Quarter 2015 Highlights

 

  The Company ended 3Q15 with 1,030 unique FTTC sites, up 54 sequentially and an increase of 45% from the prior year. Additionally, Lumos ended the quarter with 1,363 total FTTC connections up nearly 42% from the prior year period.

 

  In the first nine months of 2015, Lumos renewed Enterprise accounts totaling $603,000 in monthly recurring charges (“MRC”), up over 17% from the prior year period. Year-to-date, Lumos has renewed Enterprise accounts worth over $26 million of total contract value, up approximately 20% from the prior year period.


  Lumos Networks added 308 route miles of fiber in the quarter, the most added organically in the Company’s history, and ended the quarter with 8,408 total route miles. Additionally, Lumos added 68 Enterprise lit buildings in the quarter and 165 in the first nine months of 2015, up over 47% from the prior year period.

Business Outlook

For the full year 2015, the Company reiterates its financial guidance for revenue of approximately $202 million, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $92 million and capital expenditures of approximately $112 million.

Please see the schedules accompanying this release for additional financial guidance, including reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Lumos Networks before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests, other income or expenses, equity-based compensation charges, acquisition-related charges, amortization of actuarial losses on retirement plans, employee separation charges, restructuring-related charges, gain or loss on settlements and gain or loss on interest rate swap derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, to operating revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. It should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules herein and our SEC filings for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most comparable measures reported in accordance with GAAP and for a discussion of the presentation, comparability and use of such financial performance measures.

Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans and strategies, and anticipated financial results, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Company Presentation November 2015 Exhibit 99.2


Slide 1

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. These financial performance measures are not indicative of cash provided or used by operating activities and exclude the effects of certain operating, capital and financing costs and may differ from comparable information provided by other companies, and they should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures of financial performance determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. These financial performance measures are commonly used in the industry and are presented because Lumos Networks Corp. believes they provide relevant and useful information to investors. The Company utilizes these financial performance measures to assess its ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness if necessary, and to fund continued growth. Lumos Networks Corp. also uses these financial performance measures to evaluate the performance of its business, for budget planning purposes and as factors in its employee compensation programs. Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Any statements contained in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “may,” “will” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans and strategies, and anticipated financial results, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or predict. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important factors with respect to any such forward-looking statements, including certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: rapid development and intense competition in the telecommunications and high speed data transport industry; our ability to offset expected revenue declines in legacy voice and access products related to the recent regulatory actions, wireless substitution, technology changes and other factors; our ability to effectively allocate capital and implement our network expansion plans in a timely manner; our ability to complete customer installations in a timely manner; adverse economic conditions; operating and financial restrictions imposed by our senior credit facility and our unsecured debt obligations; our cash and capital requirements; declining prices for our services; our ability to maintain and enhance our network; the potential to experience a high rate of customer turnover; federal and state regulatory fees, requirements and developments; our reliance on certain suppliers and vendors; and other unforeseen difficulties that may occur. These risks and uncertainties are not intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary statements and risk factors included in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
