Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 17, 2010, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. 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 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.

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. 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.

MCLEAN, VA – (MARKET WIRE) – May 17, 2010 – PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (PRIMUS) (OTCBB: PMUG), a global provider of advanced facilities-based communication solutions, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. For the first quarter 2010, net revenue was $204.4 million; Adjusted EBITDA was $21.6 million; and Free Cash Flow was $12.8 million. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

“Our first quarter 2010 results demonstrate a good start toward our 2010 goals of delivering stable Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We recorded net revenue of $204.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $21.6 million, including a $1.8 million severance charge, and Free Cash Flow of $12.8 million, with cost reduction programs completed in 2009 helping drive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow generation. Operational execution in our key Australia and Canada markets, particularly with respect to data- and IP-based commercial services, is improving as our sales teams perform and we aggressively manage costs. Revenue from Growth Services as a percentage of retail revenue grew in the first quarter 2010 through prudent investments in capital and sales and marketing devoted to higher-demand, next-generation services.”

Mr. Singh continued, “During the first quarter we repaid $3.4 million of capital leases and, subsequent to quarter-end, we purchased $9.5 million principal amount of outstanding 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes as part of our continuing effort to reduce debt and improve future free cash flow generation. Our focus for this year remains on further enhancing execution and financial performance by increasing sales efficiency of higher-demand Growth Services, improving operating productivity, managing Traditional Services margin contribution, and expanding the percentage of services we deliver on-net.”

First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Net revenue of $204.4 million decreased $10.6 million, or 5.0%, from $215.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and increased $11.1 million, or 5.7% from $193.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. The impact of foreign currency translation was an unfavorable $2.3 million compared to fourth quarter 2009 and a favorable $32.1 million compared to first quarter 2009. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased $8.4 million, or 3.9%, from fourth quarter of 2009 and $21.0 million, or 10.9% from first quarter 2009. The $8.4 million sequential decrease was comprised of a decline of $1.9 million in retail revenues and a decline of $6.5 million in wholesale revenue. The $1.9 million decline in retail revenue, on a constant currency basis, reflects a slight fall-off from the decline of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 but continued improvement from declines of $2.2 million and $5.3 million experienced in the third and second quarters of 2009, respectively.

Net Revenue by Product Type

The following details first quarter 2010 and sequential and year-ago comparisons by product type.

Growth Services net revenue, which includes on-net local, broadband Internet, data, data center, wireless, and retail VoIP, of $70.9 million was approximately comparable to the fourth quarter of 2009 and up $14.7 million, or 26.2%, from the first quarter of 2009. The favorable impact of foreign currency translation was $0.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2009 and $13.6 million compared to first quarter 2009.

Net revenue from Growth Services comprised a greater percentage of first quarter 2010 retail revenue – 45%—as compared to 44% in the fourth quarter of 2009 as Growth Services revenue generation becomes more consistent and customer usage of Traditional Services continues to decline. Primus’ strategy to invest prudently in capital and

sales and marketing in higher-demand Growth Services products, including data center, broadband data, and IP-PBX services is resulting in stronger traction for these services with both small-medium enterprise and residential customers.

Australia

 

 

Net revenue of $69.9 million increased $0.9 million, or 1.3%, from $69.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and increased $17.9 million, or 34.4% from the first quarter of 2009.

The $1.1 million sequential net revenue increase, on a constant currency basis, is primarily comprised of an increase in wholesale voice services.

Net revenue less cost of revenue was $74.4 million, or 36.4% of net revenue, compared to $73.6 million, or 34.2% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $64.6 million, or 33.4% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential and year-over-year margin percentage increase reflects a shift in product mix from lower margin wholesale revenue and continued cost reduction actions.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $52.9 million, or 25.9% of net revenue, compared to $51.3 million, or 23.9% of net revenue in the prior quarter, and $44.9 million, or 23.2% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The $1.6 million sequential increase in SG&A expense includes a $1.8 million charge for severance. The year-over-year $8.0 million increase in SG&A reflects an $8.1 million increase from foreign currency translation, a $1.8 million increase for severance, a $1.4 million increase in advertising, and a decrease in virtually all other categories of expense.

Income from operations was $2.5 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior quarter, and $13.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense was $19.0 million as compared to $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $6.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $21.6 million, or 10.6% of net revenue, compared to $23.1 million, or 10.7% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $19.7 million, or 10.2% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The $1.5 million sequential decline includes a $1.8 million severance expense.

Interest expense was $9.3 million, an increase of $0.8 million from $8.5 million in the prior quarter, due to the full-quarter effect of refinancings completed in the fourth quarter of 2009, and a $1.4 million decrease from $10.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net income (loss) was $(1.0) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.47 per basic and $0.46 per diluted common share, in the prior quarter and net income of $14.0 million, or $0.10 per basic and $0.08 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

The number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share in the first quarter of 2010 was 9.6 million compared to 9.6 million and 9.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 142.7 million and 169.4 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2009.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources

PRIMUS ended the first quarter 2010 with $52.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up from $42.5 million at December 31, 2009. Cash was generated during the quarter through $21.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $0.3 million from currency movements; partially offset by cash usage of $4.9 million for capital expenditures, $3.4 million for capital lease repayment, $3.1 million for working capital, including previously accrued financing and reorganization costs, $0.7 million for interest and $0.2 million for taxes.

The principal amount of PRIMUS’ long-term debt obligations as of March 31, 2010 was $256.2 million.

Free Cash Flow for the first quarter 2010 was $12.8 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior quarter and $1.9 million in the year-ago quarter. PRIMUS defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property and equipment.

Subsequent to quarter-end, PRIMUS purchased $9.5 million principal amount of 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes maturing in 2013.

“Throughout the first quarter, we maintained our focus on operational execution, with the goal of again delivering consistency in financial results. As a result, we generated Adjusted EBITDA of $21.6 million, inclusive of a $1.8 million severance charge, continuing the stable trend of the last five quarters. Our Free Cash Flow generation has allowed us to advance our debt reduction efforts. During the quarter we repaid $3.4 million of capital lease obligations and, subsequent to the quarter end, we purchased $9.5 million principal amount of the 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes. We remain focused on generating stable Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in 2010, and plan to deploy opportunistically Free Cash Flow toward Growth Product initiatives or debt reduction,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer.

Financial Presentation Considerations

Primus adopted the “fresh start” provisions of ASC No. 852 on July 1, 2009, which requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at their fair value. As a result, amounts reported subsequent to July 1, 2009 may differ materially from the values recorded in prior periods. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements for all periods subsequent to July 1, 2009 (the “Successor Period”) will not be comparable to periods prior to July 1, 2009 (the “Predecessor Period”).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Additionally, information regarding the purpose and use for these non-GAAP financial measures is set forth with this press release in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010 and available on our website.

Safe Harbor

Statements in this press release concerning our prospects, operational and liquidity objectives, cost reduction initiatives, capital expenditures, anticipated uses of capital resources and financial condition constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements are based on current expectations, and are not strictly historical statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “if,” “may,” “should,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,” “estimate,” “reinstate,” “opportunity,” “goal,” “objective,” “exchange,” “growth,” “outcome,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “strategy,” “provide,” “commitment,” “result,” “seek,” “pursue,” “ongoing,” “include” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on our current plans or assessments which are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this announcement. Factors and risks that could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) the ability to service substantial indebtedness; and (ii) the risk factors or uncertainties listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those listed under captions “MD&A — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Short- and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks;” “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements;” and “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) which cover matters and risks including but not limited to (a) a continuation or worsening of global recessionary economic conditions, including the effects of such conditions on our customers and our accounts receivables and revenues; (b) the general fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies, particularly any strengthening of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies of the countries where we
