Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 3, 2007, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The text of the press release is included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), such exhibit and the information set forth therein and herein are deemed to be furnished to, and shall not be deemed to be filed with or incorporated by reference into any filing with the Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures

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

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, asset impairment expense, gain (loss) on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), extraordinary items, other income (expense), income (loss) from discontinued operations and income (loss) from sale of discontinued operations. 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 is a measure that we use to evaluate our results and performance of our management team.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as defined by us, is a calculation which divides reported net income (loss) before gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, asset impairment expense, early termination interest penalties, gain (loss) on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), extraordinary items, income (loss) from discontinued operations and income (loss) from sale of discontinued operations (collectively referred to as Adjusted Net Income (Loss)), and after accreted and deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which dilutive calculations take into account the effect of the adjustments. Our definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share may not be similar to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share presented by other companies, are not measurements 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 for net income (loss) and basic and diluted income (loss) per common share.


We believe the presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share assists readers in further understanding our results of operations and trends from period to period, consistent with management’s internal evaluation of our results for a variety of measures including strategic planning, capital expenditures, and executive compensation. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share provide to investors a measurement that allows comparison of current and prior periods, by removing certain items that do not directly correlate to the results of our business of selling and provisioning telecommunications services.

We provide a complete reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share so readers have access to the detail and general nature of the adjustments made.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, consists of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net cash used in the purchase of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow, as defined above, 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), you should not use it as a measure of the amount of cash available for discretionary expenditures.

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORTS

FIRST QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS

McLEAN, VA.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 3, 2007—PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (OTCBB: PRTL), an integrated communications services provider, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

First Quarter Highlights:

 

   

$7 Million Income From Operations

 

   

$14 Million Adjusted EBITDA

 

   

Debt Issuances and Asset Sale Enhance Liquidity and Refinancings Extend Nearest Debt Maturity Until Mid-Year 2009

 

   

$112 Million Cash Balance at Quarter End ($104 Million Unrestricted)

PRIMUS reported first quarter 2007 net revenue of $228 million, down from $241 million in the prior quarter and $269 million in the first quarter 2006. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of ($3) million, compared to a net loss of ($2) million in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($16) million in the first quarter 2006. As a result, the Company reported basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) in the first quarter 2007, as compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) and ($0.15) in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.

“We are pleased to have met our expectations for Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter, despite expected revenue declines driven largely by seasonality and the loss of low-margin/low-growth businesses,” stated K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Significantly, our improving financial performance over the past year positioned us to execute successfully a number of important liquidity-enhancing initiatives during the quarter. Collectively, these initiatives have enabled PRIMUS to: (1) raise over $75 million in cash to fund fully our business plan for 2007 and beyond; and (2) refinance obligations that extend the nearest material debt maturity to mid-year 2009. As a result of these accomplishments, PRIMUS now has the financial flexibility to make additional investments in our higher margin and most successful growth businesses as well as to consider potentially attractive acquisitions. Any combination of these actions would be undertaken with an initial goal of increasing the rate of revenue growth and contribution from broadband, VOIP, local, data and hosting services.”


During the first quarter 2007, PRIMUS significantly improved its liquidity through the successful completion in February 2007 of a private sale of $24 million principal amount of new 14.25% Second Lien Notes for cash, the accompanying private exchange of an additional $33 million principal amount of 14.25% Second Lien Notes for $41 million principal amount of existing 12.75% Senior Notes; the private sale of $51 million principal amount of 14.25% Second Lien Notes for cash in March 2007; the refinancing of a US$28 million Canadian credit facility scheduled to mature in April 2008 with a new US$35 million facility with a March 2012 maturity; the refinancing of an $8 million Australian fiber purchase agreement with an original maturity of March 2007 to amortize over a two-year period; and the sale of a domain registration business unit in Australia for approximately $6 million in net cash proceeds.

On the heels of strong improvement in operating results throughout the full year 2006, PRIMUS’s first quarter results, in combination with successful execution of the above liquidity-enhancing initiatives, reflect significant early progress against its two-year Transformation Strategy – as announced at year end and as set forth below:

 

  A) Strengthen the balance sheet opportunistically through potential de-levering transactions and equity capital infusions;

 

  B) Significantly improve the Company’s non-sales and marketing cost structure through increased outsourcing and/or off-shoring at lower cost locations globally and maintain an aggressive cost management program;

 

  C) Focus on improving sales productivity and margin enhancements by leveraging the Company’s network assets and increasing the revenue mix in favor of higher margin growth services; and

 

  D) Opportunistically sell non-strategic assets and businesses and use the proceeds either to accelerate growth of high-margin businesses or to strengthen the balance sheet.

“Our focus will continue to be on growing the high-margin broadband, VOIP, local, data and hosting service initiatives that are performing well with an annualized revenue run-rate of approximately $200 million. That growth has been accomplished with sales and marketing investment levels constrained by available cash. With our newly expanded resources, we now have the opportunity to consider accelerated growth strategies in these high-margin products.

“To enhance our liquidity further, as well as to sharpen our geographic and product focus, a critical element of the Transformation Strategy is opportunistically to sell non-strategic assets and businesses. Over the next 18 months, we have set a goal to generate between $50 million and $100 million in cash proceeds from monetizing several low-margin/low-growth businesses, with a modest impact on Adjusted EBITDA. Those proceeds, in turn, could be applied to fund increased levels of investment in our high margin growth initiatives – both organically and through acquisitions – as well as to reduce debt.

“As previously stated, we expect overall revenue to decline in 2007 as compared to 2006, particularly as we continue to prune or to divest low-margin, or non-core revenue streams. Our


objective, however, is to generate contribution from growth products such as broadband, VOIP, local, data and hosting in excess of the contribution loss from the decline in legacy voice and dial-up ISP products. We maintain an objective of attaining at least a 10% increase in Adjusted EBITDA over 2006, assuming stable currency exchange rates and excluding any material expenses related to further restructuring, and any adjustments to reflect the investments made to accelerate growth in our high-margin growth products,” Mr. Singh concluded.

First Quarter 2007 Financial Results:

The Company sold its Australian domain name business in the first quarter 2007. From an accounting perspective, the sale has been treated as a “discontinued operation,” and therefore, those operating results are excluded from the individual line items of the statement of operations in all prior period results, and the operating results and the gain from sale of discontinued operations are shown as separate line items on the statement of operations. In 2006, the revenue and net income from these operations was $4 million and $1 million, respectively.

“First quarter 2007 revenue was $228 million, down 5% from $241 million in the prior quarter and down 15% from $269 million in the first quarter 2006. The $13 million sequential quarterly revenue decline was comprised of a $7 million decrease in low-margin wholesale services revenue and a $6 million decrease in retail services revenue,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer. “The $6 million decline in retail revenue is reflective of a continued decline in legacy voice and dial-up Internet services revenue coupled with modest growth from high-margin broadband, VOIP, local, data and hosting service initiatives. Additionally, as expected, seasonality and fewer business and total days in the first quarter, relative to the prior quarter, also were contributing factors to the revenue decline.”

Net revenue from data/Internet and VOIP services was $73 million (32% of total net revenue for the quarter), relatively consistent from the prior quarter. Geographic revenue mix remained steady with 31% coming from Asia-Pacific, 27% from Canada, 21% from Europe and 21% from the United States. The mix of net revenue was 80% retail (53% residential and 27% business) and 20% wholesale.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the first quarter was $69 million (30.2% of net revenue), up $3 million from $66 million in the prior quarter (27.3% of net revenue) and down $7 million from $76 million (28.4% of net revenue) in the first quarter 2006. The first quarter results include $2 million in legal and other professional fees related to litigation and a $1 million write-off of a non-trade receivable.

Income from operations was $7 million in the first quarter 2007, down from $10 million in the prior quarter and improved from a loss from operations of ($5) million in the first quarter 2006.

First quarter 2007 Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in the attached schedule, of $14 million declined by $4 million as compared to $18 million in the prior quarter and was consistent with the year-ago quarter. The expected sequential decline resulted in part from $2 million in legal and professional fees related to litigation, $1 million from the net loss of retail revenues and a $1 million write-off of a non-trade receivable.


Interest expense for the first quarter 2007 was $13 million, consistent with the prior quarter and slightly down from the year-ago quarter.

Net loss was ($3) million in first quarter 2007 (including a gain from sale of discontinued operations of $6 million), as compared to a net loss of ($2) million in fourth quarter 2006 and a net loss of ($16) million in first quarter 2006.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share was ($0.02) for the first quarter 2007, compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) for the fourth quarter 2006 and ($0.15) in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share, as calculated in the attached schedule, was ($0.05) for the first quarter 2007, compared to ($0.03) for the fourth quarter 2006 and ($0.15) in the year-ago quarter.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which is in effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Therefore, certain figures presented in the press release, may, depending on the outcome of the assessment, differ from those presented in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Any potential revisions to the carrying value of the income tax-related assets and liabilities would be non-cash items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PRIMUS ended the first quarter 2007 with a cash balance of $112 million, including $9 million of restricted funds, as compared to $73 million, including $8 million of restricted funds, as of December 31, 2006. During the first quarter, a net $7 million in cash was used by operating activities. This total reflects $14 million of Adjusted EBITDA, offset by $21 million in cash used in operating activities (including $19 million in cash interest payments, $1 million cash tax payments and $1 million for working capital). In addition, $6 million of cash was used for capital expenditures; $6 million was received from the sale of the Australia domain name business; $103 million of debt was issued for cash (including the issuance of 14.25% Second Lien Notes and the funding of the Canadian Senior Secured Credit Agreement); $28 million was used for scheduled principal reductions (including $23 million for the maturing 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures), and $28 million was used for the early termination and repayment of an existing Canadian financing facility.

Free Cash Flow for the first quarter 2007, as calculated in the attached schedule, was negative ($14) million (comprised of $7 million used in operating activities and the remainder utilized for capital expenditures) as compared to negative ($5) million in the prior quarter and Free Cash Flow neutral in the first quarter 2006. The reduction to the first quarter 2007 Free Cash Flow is primarily caused by the timing of regularly scheduled interest payments of $19 million during the first quarter 2007 as compared to $8 million paid in the prior quarter.

The principal amount of PRIMUS’s long-term debt obligations as of March 31, 2007 was $688 million, up from $640 million at December 31, 2006.


The Company and/or its subsidiaries will evaluate and determine on a continuing basis, depending upon market conditions and the outcome of events and uncertainties described within any “forward-looking statement” descriptions in this release and its SEC filings, the most efficient use of the Company’s capital and resources, including investment in the Company’s network, systems, and product initiatives, purchasing, refinancing, exchanging, tendering for or retiring certain of the Company’s outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means, issuing equity or purchasing its equity in the open market to the extent permitted by existing covenants.
