"We grew revenue, achieved strong margins and generated increased cash flow, while maintaining healthy liquidity, demonstrating the strength of our model and our ability to execute," said Larissa Herda, tw telecom's Chairman, CEO and President. "We believe our continued investment in our people, products and infrastructure has been instrumental to maintaining growth throughout this recession and positions us well for when the economy recovers."

-- Grew enterprise revenue 7% year over year and 2% sequentially
-- Grew data and Internet revenue 17% year over year and 4% sequentially
-- Grew M-EBITDA 7% year over year and up slightly sequentially
-- Achieved a 35.9% M-EBITDA margin, a 70 basis point improvement year
over year
-- Grew EPS to $0.05 per share, a $0.05 improvement year over year
-- Delivered $33.8 million of levered free cash flow, representing 11% of
revenue
Business Trends
"Overall business trends remained steady as we continue to evolve our product capabilities and optimize our operations with ongoing cost efficiency initiatives to grow and scale the business," said Mark Peters, tw telecom's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Company's sales efforts allowed it to outsell the continued pressure of elevated churn and repricing for contract renewals. Customer demand remained solid as bookings(7) for the quarter were the same level as last year.
The Company continues in a strong liquidity position with no significant debt maturities until 2013, $432 million in cash and equivalents, an undrawn revolver, and no financial maintenance covenants unless it draws its revolver(4).
Churn
Reflecting the current economic environment, revenue churn(5) was 1.2% for the current quarter, 1.3% for the prior quarter, and 1.2% for the same quarter last year. The Company expects elevated revenue churn to continue to pressure revenue growth.
Customer churn(5) was 1.2% for the current quarter, a decrease from 1.4% in the prior quarter, and down from 1.5% for the same period last year. The majority of the turnover was from small customers and the Company expects this churn will continue.
Other items for 2009
The Company continues to expect business fluctuations to impact sequential trends in revenue, margins and cash flow. This includes the timing as well as any seasonal nature of sales and installations, usage, disputes, repricing for contract renewals, ongoing revenue churn and fluctuations in expenses and capital expenditures. Given the current economic environment, seasonal and other trends may differ from historical experience.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $59.9 million for the quarter compared to $69.2 million for the prior quarter and $75.9 million for the same period last year.
The year over year decrease reflects $12 million for prior year expansions of co-location facilities, capacity expansions and regional networks, as well as IT enhancements that automated certain provisioning functions, which were lower or did not recur in the current period. Additionally, the Company incurred $2.6 million in branding and integration investments last year, which did not recur.
The sequential decrease in capital investments primarily reflects timing of infrastructure and IT projects. The Company continues to expect total capital investments for the full year 2009 to be approximately $275 million. The Company also expects the majority of the full year capital investments to be tied to new sales opportunities.
Year over Year Results -Third Quarter 2009 compared to Third Quarter 2008
Revenue
Revenue for the quarter was $304.8 million compared to $291.6 million for the third quarter last year, representing a year over year increase of $13.2 million, or 5%. Key changes in revenue included:
-- $15.9 million increase in revenue from enterprise customers, or 7%
year over year, representing 29 consecutive quarters of enterprise
growth
-- $1.2 million decrease in revenue from carriers. Growth in new sales
was outpaced by churn and repricing for contract renewals
-- $1.5 million decrease in intercarrier compensation related primarily
to fluctuations in volume and disputes as well as rate changes
By product line, the percentage change in revenue year over year was as follows:
-- 17% increase for data and Internet services, primarily due to
continued success with Ethernet and IP-based product sales, partially
offset by churn and repricing for contract renewals
-- Voice services were flat, reflecting ongoing sales of bundled and
other local product sales offset by churn
-- 3% decrease for network services, due to churn and repricing for
contract renewals that outpaced sales, partially offset by growth in
co-location and high capacity services
M-EBITDA and Margins
M-EBITDA grew to $109.4 million for the quarter, an increase of 7%, or $6.8 million from the same period last year. The growth in M-EBITDA represents the contribution from revenue growth and cost efficiencies from network and other optimization efforts, partially offset with a fluctuation in settlements and an increase in employee costs.
Operating costs for the quarter increased primarily due to increased network access costs associated with net growth in customer installations of service, higher employee costs and fluctuation in settlements, partially offset by network and other cost efficiencies. Operating costs as a percent of revenue were 42% for both the current period and the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A") increased year over year, primarily reflecting a favorable tax settlement in the same period last year that did not recur, and higher employee costs partially offset by a decrease in bad debt. Bad debt expense was $1.8 million for the quarter and $3.1 million for the same period last year, representing 0.6% of quarterly revenue for the current quarter and 1.1% for the same period last year. SG&A costs as a percent of revenue were 24% for both the current quarter and for the same period last year.
Modified gross margin(6) was 58.6% for the current quarter compared to 58.1% for the same period last year, a 50 basis point improvement. M-EBITDA margin for the quarter was 35.9% as compared to 35.2% for the same period last year, a 70 basis point improvement.
The Company utilizes a fully burdened modified gross margin, including network costs, and personnel costs for customer care, provisioning, network maintenance, technical field and network operations, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Net Income and Loss
For the quarter, the Company achieved net income of $7.7 million, or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, for the same period last year. The increase year over year in net income reflects strong M-EBITDA growth and an impairment loss on long term investments for the same period last year that did not recur, partially offset by an increase in depreciation.
Sequential Results -Third Quarter 2009 compared to Second Quarter 2009
Revenue
Revenue for the quarter was $304.8 million, as compared to $301.1 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $3.7 million, or 1%. Key changes in revenue included:
-- $3.4 million increase in enterprise revenue, representing 2%
sequential growth
-- $0.9 million increase in revenue from carrier customers primarily
reflecting new sales and an increase in contract termination fees
partially offset by churn and the repricing of renewed customer
contracts
-- $0.6 million decrease in intercarrier compensation for fluctuations in
volume and disputes
By product line, the percentage change in revenue sequentially was as follows:
-- 4% increase for data and Internet services, primarily due to continued
success with Ethernet and IP-based product sales partially offset by
churn and repricing
-- Voice services were flat, reflecting ongoing sales of bundled and
other local products offset by churn
-- Network services were flat, primarily due to sales and an increase in
contract termination fees offset by churn and repricing for customer
contract renewals
M-EBITDA and Margins
M-EBITDA was $109.4 million for the quarter, compared to $108.9 million for the prior quarter. The growth in M-EBITDA represents cost efficiencies from network and other optimization efforts, and a decrease in certain employee costs, partially offset by increased bad debt costs and seasonal growth in certain field expenses.
Operating costs increased primarily reflecting increased network access costs associated with net growth in customer installations of service and a seasonal increase in field costs for such items as utilities, partially offset by network optimization efforts. Operating costs were 42% of revenue for the quarter compared to 41% for the prior quarter.
SG&A costs decreased primarily reflecting decreases in property tax and certain employee related costs, including commissions and payroll taxes, offset by higher bad debt expense. Bad debt expense increased to $1.8 million from $0.7 million sequentially, representing 0.6% and 0.2% of quarterly revenue, respectively. SG&A was 24% of revenue for the current period as compared to 25% for the prior quarter.
Modified gross margin was 58.6% compared to 59.3% for the prior quarter, a 70 basis point reduction. M-EBITDA margin was 35.9% for the quarter, compared to 36.2% for the prior quarter, a 30 basis point reduction.
Net Income
For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $7.7 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $5.9 million, or $0.04 per share for the prior quarter. The increase in net income sequentially primarily reflects M-EBITDA growth and a decrease in income taxes.
Summary
"We are focused on continuing to leverage our enterprise business by executing both financially and operationally, investing in growth opportunities and positioning the business for the future," said Herda.
tw telecom plans to conduct a webcast conference call to discuss its earnings results on November 4 at 9:00 a.m. MST (11:00 a.m. EST). To access the webcast and the financial and other information to be discussed in the webcast, visit http://www.twtelecom.com/ under "Investor Relations."
(1) The Company uses a modified definition of EBITDA to eliminate certain non-cash and non-operating income or charges to earnings to enhance the comparability of its financial performance from period to period. Modified EBITDA (or "M-EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss before depreciation, amortization, accretion, impairment charges and other gains and losses, interest expense, debt extinguishment costs, interest income, income tax expense or benefit, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
(2) The Company defines unlevered free cash flow as Modified EBITDA less capital expenditures. Unlevered free cash flow is reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website.
(3) The Company defines levered free cash flow as Modified EBITDA less capital expenditures and net interest expense from operations (but excludes debt extinguishment costs and non cash interest expense and deferred debt costs). Levered free cash flow is reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website.
(4) The Company does not have any maintenance debt covenants on its current debt instruments unless it draws its unused revolver. Please see the Company's Form 10-K and other SEC filings for further details.
(5) The Company defines revenue churn as the average lost recurring monthly billing from a customer's partial or complete disconnection of services (excluding repricing impacts and usage) compared to reported revenue for the quarter. Customer churn is defined as the average monthly customer turnover compared to the average monthly customer count.
(6) The Company defines modified gross margin as Total Revenue less operating costs excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Modified gross margin is reconciled to gross margin in the financial tables.
(7) Bookings reflects customer sales signed in the quarter. The timing of when these sales are installed and recognized as revenue varies based on the underlying contract, which may or may not occur in the quarter executed.
Financial Measures
The Company provides financial measures using generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as well as adjustments to GAAP measures to describe its business trends, including Modified EBITDA. Management believes that its definition of Modified EBITDA (see above) is a standard measure of operating performance and liquidity that is commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the telecommunications industry because it eliminates many differences in financial, capitalization, and tax structures, as well as non-cash and non-operating income or charges to earnings. Modified EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow, and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Modified EBITDA internally to assess on-going operations and it is the basis for various financial covenants contained in the Company's debt agreements and for operating performance and liquidity. Modified EBITDA is reconciled to Net Income (Loss), the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance within the Consolidated Operations Highlights and in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website. Modified EBITDA, as a measure of liquidity, is also reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 filed with the SEC and posted on the Company's website.
In addition, management uses unlevered and levered free cash flow, which measure the ability of M-EBITDA to cover capital expenditures. The Company uses these cash flow definitions to eliminate certain non-cash costs. Levered and unlevered free cash flow are reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities and also to Modified EBITDA in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website. The Company also provides an adjustment to the measure gross margin by eliminating the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Management uses modified gross margin internally to assess on-going operations. Modified gross margin is reconciled to gross margin in the Consolidated Operations Highlights.
