Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 7, 2012, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended September 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) – November 7, 2012 – Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“PTGi”) (NYSE: PTGI), a global facilities-based integrated provider of advanced telecommunications products and services, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Peter D. Aquino, Chairman and Chief Executive officer, stated, “Our third quarter results demonstrated continued consistency and operational execution in our two primary segments: “pure play” data centers, now branded “BLACKIRON Data,” and North America Telecom. Overall Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly as we are now able to reduce corporate overhead after the sale of Primus Australia in the second quarter. We expect our positive free cash flow profile to continue as we make progress on additional overhead reductions and move more towards success-based capital spends, especially now that our new certified Tier III data center in Toronto opened for business this past August. Our deleveraging effort this past quarter reduced total debt by more than half, cutting interest payments once again from approximately $24 million to $12 million annually. This puts PTGi in a net debt position of only $53 million, a tremendous outcome given where we were just two years ago.”

Consolidated Results

Continuing PTGi operations, including Canada and U.S. Retail, are presented below. 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 $63.9 million, a decrease of 14.0% from $74.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. The impact of foreign currency was a decrease of $1.0 million. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased 12.6%. The primary driver of the decrease in revenue is a decline in local and long distance services.

Net revenue less cost of revenue was $32.4 million, or 50.7% of net revenue, compared to $37.5 million, or 50.5% of net revenue, in the third quarter of 2011. The impact of foreign currency translation was a decrease of $0.5 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 $23.3 million, or 36.4% of net revenue, compared to $27.2 million, or 36.7% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding $1.0 million of severance and other non-recurring costs, SG&A was $22.3 million, or 34.8% of revenue. The leveraging of SG&A is primarily due to management’s focus on reducing overhead to an optimum level to support continuing PTGi operations.

Income from operations was $1.5 million, or 2.3% of revenue, compared to $1.6 million, or 2.1% of revenue in the third quarter of 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.1 million, or 15.8% of net revenue, compared to $11.0 million, or 14.8% of net revenue, in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding severance and other non-recurring costs, Normalized Adjusted


EBITDA was $11.1 million, or 17.4% of net revenue, compared to $10.3 million, or 13.8% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2011. The year-over-year impact of foreign exchange translation was a decrease of $0.2 million. On a constant currency basis, the increase in Normalized Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to decreases in SG&A expenses and greater contribution from growth service offerings.

Net loss was $25.0 million, or $(1.81) per basic and diluted common share, compared to $10.0 million, or $(0.73) per basic and diluted common share, in the third quarter 2011. Third quarter 2012 and 2011 results included losses from the early extinguishment or restructuring of debt of $21.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share in the third quarter of 2012 was 13.9 million, compared to 13.7 million for basic and diluted earnings per common share in the third quarter of 2011.

Segment Results

As a reminder, 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, “During the third quarter, we continued to execute our strategic plan to invest in and grow our facilities-based data center and fiber revenue streams while maximizing margins from off-net and legacy services. Toronto DC3 opened during the quarter; customers began moving in during Q3 and we have closed additional deals in the fourth quarter. BLACKIRON Data now encompasses 8 data centers and an enhanced cloud platform and is the foundation of our future growth. In North America Telecom, we continue to improve operations and are focused on capturing on-net growth opportunities in consumer and SMB. We completed construction on our Ottawa fiber ring and have provisioned our first customer. We remain focused for the remainder of the year on these strategic priorities.”

Data Center

 

   

Net revenue was $8.5 million, an increase of 10.2% from $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased 12.0%. Contributing to the net revenue increase was continued growth in colocation, network connectivity and managed/cloud services.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million, an increase of 4.9% from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2011. 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 $4.0 million, compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, reflecting the construction capital required for the Toronto DC3 facility, as well as other capacity expansion.

North America Telecom

 

   

Net revenue was $55.4 million, a decrease of 16.5% from $66.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased 15.2%. The decrease in net revenue is due primarily to declines in local and long distance services.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $9.9 million, a decrease of 9.2% from $10.9 million in the third quarter 2011. Excluding severance and other non-recurring costs, Normalized Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million, a 3.4% increase from third quarter 2011 Normalized Adjusted EBITDA of $10.2 million. The increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in SG&A expense resulting from focused cost saving efforts.

 

   

Capital expenditures were $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The expenditures are mainly for expansion of growth services capabilities, customer premise equipment and infrastructure maintenance.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources

PTGi ended the third quarter 2012 with $66.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, down from $209.7 million at June 30, 2012. Cash was generated during the third quarter in the following amounts: $10.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $1.3 million of working capital offset by the usage of $119.0 million for the repurchase of 10% Senior Secured Notes, $10.9 million for the premiums and costs associated with the repurchase of the notes, $5.0 million in interest payments associated with the repurchase of the notes, $13.8 million in dividends paid to stockholders and $6.4 million for capital expenditures. PTGi’s long-term debt, including current obligations, as of September 30, 2012 was $118.7 million, down from $249.3 million as of December 31, 2011 due to the repurchase of 10% Senior Secured Notes and the elimination of capital leases for the sold Australia segment.


Capital expenditures were $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding discontinued operations, capital expenditures were $5.9 million and $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the construction of Toronto DC3.

Free Cash Flow in the third quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter 2011. Net cash used in operating activities was $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The primary contributors to the decrease in free cash flow over the prior year quarter were a $0.9 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and a $2.7 million increase in interest paid, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in capital expenditures and a $0.3 million increase in working capital over the prior year quarter. PTGi defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in the purchase of property and equipment.

Jim Keeley, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “PTGi ended the quarter with $66.0 million in cash, having paid down $119 million of 10% Notes to de-lever our balance sheet and reduce interest expense to approximately $12 million on an annual run rate basis. We now expect our capital program for continuing operations to finish the year slightly below our previous outlook of $26 million, and remain focused on investment in high ROI data center and metro fiber projects in Canada.”
