Management Commentary

“As the pandemic has demonstrated, wireless connectivity continues to play an increasingly critical role in our daily lives,” commented Mike Finley, Chief Executive Officer, Boingo Wireless. “This need for connectivity demonstrates Boingo’s resilience as an essential business as well as the durability of our business model. Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, we see velocity in our business continue with new wins in all key verticals including: three new DAS venues, 11 carrier contracts, a Wi-Fi offload trial with Google, four multifamily venues, and bulk-services and macro cell towers on military bases. The sequential decline in our revenue was largely related to our legacy businesses, specifically advertising and retail, which were impacted by the historic downturn in passenger travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, our team has done an excellent job managing expenses, which led to a 13.7% increase in adjusted EBITDA over the first quarter of 2020 to $21.3 million.”

Mr. Finley continued, “Approximately 95% of our revenue is either contractual or recurring. We have a strong balance sheet and liquidity to operate and grow the business as our core operations continue to generate positive operating cash flow.”
