Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 8, 2012, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The text of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in the press release is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our press release and financial tables contained therein include the following non-GAAP financial information:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of net income (loss) before reorganization items, net, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment expense, gain (loss) on sale or disposal of assets, interest expense, amortization or accretion on debt discount or premium, gain (loss) on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt, interest income and other income (expense), gain (loss) from contingent value rights valuation, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), income tax benefit (expense), income (expense) attributable to the non-controlling interest, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, and income (loss) from sale of discontinued operations, net of tax. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be similar to Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies, is not a measurement under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important performance measurement for our investors because it gives them a metric to analyze our results exclusive of certain non-cash items and items which do not directly correlate to our business of selling and provisioning telecommunications services. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides further insight into our current performance and period to period performance on a qualitative basis and is a measure that we use to evaluate our results and performance of our management team.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of the previously defined Adjusted EBITDA with an add-back for certain one-time charges related to severance and other non-recurring costs.

We believe Normalized Adjusted EBITDA is an important performance measurement for our investors because it gives them a metric to analyze our results exclusive of certain non-cash items, items which do not directly correlate to our business of selling and provisioning telecommunications services and certain non-recurring costs. We believe Normalized Adjusted EBITDA provides further insight into our current performance and period to period performance on a qualitative basis and are measures that we use to evaluate our results and performance of our management team.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, consists of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before reorganization items less net cash used in the purchase of property and equipment. Our definition of Free Cash Flow may not be similar to Free Cash Flow measures presented by other companies, is not a measurement under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We believe Free Cash Flow provides a measure of our ability, after making our capital expenditures and other investments in our infrastructure, to meet scheduled debt payments. We use Free Cash Flow to monitor the impact of our operations on our cash reserves and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our scheduled debt maturities and other financing activities, including discretionary refinancings and retirements of debt. Because Free Cash Flow represents the amount of cash generated or used in operating activities and used in the purchase of property and equipment before deductions for scheduled debt maturities and other fixed obligations (such as capital leases, vendor financing and other long-term obligations), Free Cash Flow should not be used as a measure of the amount of cash available for discretionary expenditures.

MCLEAN, VA – (MARKET WIRE) – August 8, 2012 – Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“PTGi”) (NYSE: PTGI), a global facilities-based integrated provider of advanced telecommunications products and services, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Peter D. Aquino, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “PTGi executed on many key objectives in the second quarter, including: closed Primus Australia’s sale to M2, declared approximately a $14 million dividend to shareholders, and reorganized our Canada management team around a North American strategy. As part of this strategy, we are committed to data center expansion of our 8 sites, overlaying an “owned” metro fiber infrastructure on our SMB / enterprise footprint, and capturing cash flow from our consumer and SMB foothold across Canada and select markets in the United States. PTGi’s results included $3.2 million in corporate overhead this quarter, which we plan to reduce significantly in the second half of the year given the sale of Australia. Currently, our net debt stands at approximately $42 million post-dividend, and we continue to invest in high-ROI projects especially accelerating data center expansion.”

Consolidated Results

Continuing PTGi operations, including Canada and U.S. Retail, are presented below. PTGi completed the divestiture of its Australia operations on May 31, 2012 for net proceeds of $183.3 million, resulting in net debt at quarter-end of $28.0 million, pre-dividend. Results from the Australian operations, as well as from PTGi’s International Carrier Services segment are classified as discontinued for all periods presented.

Net revenue was $65.4 million, a decrease of 12.8% from $75.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. The impact of foreign currency was a decrease of $2.4 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased 9.6%. The primary driver of the decrease in revenue is a decline in local and long distance services.

Net revenue less cost of revenue was $33.1 million, or 50.6% of net revenue, compared to $37.8 million, or 50.4% of net revenue, in the second quarter 2011. The impact of foreign currency translation was a decrease of $1.2 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenue less cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the decrease in net revenue.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was $28.0 million, or 42.8% of net revenue, compared to $29.3 million, or 39.1% of net revenue in the second quarter 2011. Excluding $2.6 million for severance and other non-recurring costs, SG&A was $25.4 million, or 38.8% of revenue. The leveraging of SG&A is largely due to continued focus on cost savings.

Loss from operations was $2.7 million compared to a loss from operations of $1.0 million in the second quarter 2011. The increased loss of $1.7 million was due primarily to severance and other non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.5 million, or 11.4% of net revenue, compared to $10.7 million, or 14.3% of net revenue, in the second quarter 2011. Excluding severance and other non-recurring costs, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA was $10.1 million, or 15.4% of net revenue, compared to $11.4 million, or 15.2% of net revenue in the


second quarter of 2011. The year-over-year impact of foreign exchange translation was a decrease of $0.5 million. On a constant currency basis, the decrease in Normalized Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the decline in net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A costs to produce that revenue.

Net income was $68.9 million, or $4.97 per basic and diluted common share, compared to net loss of $6.3 million, or $(0.48) per basic and diluted common share, in the second quarter 2011. Second quarter 2012 results include a loss of $20.2 million from discontinued operations. Discontinued operations include non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized foreign currency transaction losses, and a previously disclosed asset impairment charge related to International Carrier Services of $10.3 million. Second quarter 2012 results also include a $98.7 million, or $7.13 per share, gain on the sale of Australian operations. The number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of 2012 was 13.8 million, compared to 13.4 million for basic and diluted earnings per common share in the second quarter of 2011.

Key Second Quarter 2012 Accomplishments

 

 

Opened Canada’s first Tier III design and construction certified data center on August 1 – after rigorous evaluation and stress testing, the Toronto facility with its potential 30,000 square feet of raised flooring and 1,000 cabinet capacity, is the only multi-tenant data center in Canada to be awarded Uptime Institute’s Tier III Certification for Design and Construction.

 

 

Launched a new, game-changing Hosted PBX suite of call center services, delivering big solutions for small businesses by eliminating capital costs, cutting operating expenditures and greatly reducing the technical complexity of implementing and supporting a full-service contact center.

Segment Results

As previously announced, PTGi is now reporting results from continuing operations in two segments: Data Center, a ‘pure-play’ data center business highlighting results from the company’s 8 state-of-the-art facilities throughout Canada, offering colocation, managed services, and cloud platforms to medium and large enterprises; and North America Telecom, highlighting Primus Canada’s competitive telecom suite of voice and data services for consumers and small and medium businesses as well US Retail operations.

Andrew Day, CEO of Primus Canada, stated “As Primus Canada leads the continued transformation of PTGi, we believe we have an unprecedented opportunity for future growth. We are increasing our capital spend program on data centers and fiber revenue streams, which is facilitated by recent changes to Canada’s Telecom Act allowing us to own transmission facilities. In our Data Center segment, with Toronto DC3 now open, we are growing our pipeline of colocation business and continuing to answer growing demand for cloud services. In the North America Telecom segment, we are focused on growing on-net revenue opportunities while maximizing margins associated with off-net revenues.”

Data Center

 

   

Net revenue was $8.0 million, an increase of 5.1% from $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased 9.6%. Contributing to the net revenue increase was a 17.1% increase in net revenue from colocation services.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.1 million, remaining constant from second quarter 2011 Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding operating expenses for Toronto DC3, Adjusted EBITDA growth was in line with the increase in revenue.

 

   

Capital expenditures were $4.9 million, compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, reflecting the construction capital required for Toronto DC3.

North America Telecom

 

   

Net revenue was $57.4 million, a decrease of 14.6% from $67.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased 11.5%. The decrease in net revenue is due primarily to declines in local and long distance services.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.2 million, a decrease of 10.6% from $11.4 million in the second quarter 2011. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 7.1%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily attributable to the revenue decline partially offset by SG&A savings.

 

   

Capital expenditures were $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. The expenditures are mainly for growth services, customer premise equipment and infrastructure maintenance.


Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources

PTGi ended the second quarter 2012 with $209.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $46.2 million at March 31, 2012. Cash was generated during the second quarter in the following amounts: $183.3 million of net proceeds from the sale of Australia, $7.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $0.9 million of working capital offset, in part, by the usage of $12.0 million for interest payments, $10.6 million for capital expenditures, and $5.6 million for transaction costs and cash disposed of in the sale of Australia. PTGi’s long-term debt, including current obligations, as of June 30, 2012 was $237.7 million, down from $249.3 million as of December 31, 2011, due to the elimination of capital leases for the sold Australia segment.

Capital expenditures were $10.6 million in the second quarter 2012 compared to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding discontinued operations, capital expenditures were $7.0 million and $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the construction of Toronto DC3.

Free Cash Flow in the second quarter 2012 was negative $12.5 million compared to negative free cash flow of $8.5 million in the second quarter 2011. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million in the second quarter 2012 compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter 2011. The primary contributors to the decrease in free cash flow over the prior year quarter were a $3.2 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, a $3.1 million increase in capital expenditures and a $2.7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in interest paid. PTGi defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property and equipment.

Jim Keeley, Acting Chief Financial Officer, stated, “PTGi ended the second quarter with nearly $210 million in cash, and net debt of $42 million post dividend. We are in a strong position to capitalize on high-ROI projects in Canada and aim to support this growth with a capital program for continuing operations of approximately $26 million this year, given our newly opened and most advanced data center in Toronto and the launch of our metro fiber business.”

Subsequent Events

 

   

On July 16, 2012, PTGi paid a cash dividend of $1.00 per share on all issued and outstanding PTGi common stock to holders of record as of July 2, 2012.

 

   

On July 31, 2012, PTGi acquired the remaining 54.4% of Globility Communications Corporation that it did not own, resulting in 100% ownership. PTGi immediately launched an owned fiber transport initiative commencing with, through Globility, the construction of a central business district ring in Ottawa.

Many of these factors and risks are more fully described in our annual report, quarterly reports or other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available through our website at www.ptgi.com. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also affect our business, financial condition and results. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that any of the estimated or projected results will be realized.
