Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 16, 2009, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. 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, 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), minority interest income (expense), extraordinary items, other income (expense), income (loss) from discontinued operations, accretion on debt premium 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 reorganization and restructuring items, 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.

PRIMUS Telecommunications Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

 

 

Q3 Net Revenue of $207.9 Million, up 5.7% Sequentially

 

 

Q3 Adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 Million, up 2.9% Sequentially

 

 

$41.9 Million Cash Balance at September 30, 2009

 

 

Q3 Free Cash Flow of $9.1 Million

MCLEAN, VA – (MARKET WIRE) – November 16, 2009 – PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (PRIMUS) (OTCBB: PMUG), a global, facilities-based integrated communications services provider, announced results for the third quarter 2009. Net revenue was $207.9 million; Adjusted EBITDA was $21.0 million; and Free Cash Flow was $9.1 million.

“We generated $9.1 million in free cash flow in the third quarter as we continued to execute our strategy of investing in growth services in our primary Australian and Canadian markets, balanced with optimizing cash returns in other services and markets,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Third quarter revenue reflected a modest lift in growth services revenue and a slowing rate of decline in traditional voice services revenue as we continue to shift our revenue mix by increasing marketing and advertising support behind our data hosting and IP-based services. During the quarter, we also maintained strict discipline in cost management and capital spending. We generated $21.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA, bringing our year-to-date total to over $61 million while continuing to increase prudently our sales and marketing support for growth services. We ended the quarter with $41.9 million of cash, after paying $6.1 million in previously accrued restructuring related expenses, well ahead of our previous cash balance estimates.

“Over the past year, we successfully navigated global economic turmoil while maintaining operational stability during our financial restructuring. We are pleased with the improving trends in revenue product mix and the stability of Adjusted EBITDA over the past three quarters. For the remainder of the year, we continue to focus on free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA by making targeted investments in growth services and managing our traditional service businesses to optimize cash returns. As a near term priority, we continue to assess opportunities to address our 2011 debt maturities, improve our balance sheet and enhance liquidity,” concluded Singh.

Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

Third quarter results reflect the adoption of the “fresh start” provisions of ASC No. 852 on July 1, 2009, which requires that all assets and liabilities be restated to their fair value. As a result, the amounts reported on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets 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 Effective Date of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, will not be comparable to previous periods.

Net revenue of $207.9 million increased $11.2 million, or 5.7%, from $196.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. Exclusive of a favorable $11.8 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 0.3%, from the second quarter of 2009. This sequential decline, exclusive of the currency effect, was comprised of a decline of $2.2 million in retail revenues and growth of $1.6 million in wholesale revenue. The $2.2 million decline in retail revenue, exclusive of currency, reflects improvement from the $5.3 million decline experienced in the second quarter of 2009. Growth services net revenue was 43% of retail revenue in the third quarter as compared to 42% in the prior quarter. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $23.3 million, or 10.1%. Exclusive of an unfavorable $12.8 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $10.5 million, or 4.5% from the third quarter a year ago.

Net Revenue by Major Operating Segment

The following details third quarter 2009 and sequential and year-ago comparisons by major operating segment.


Canada

 

 

Net revenue of $57.4 million increased $2.3 million, or 4.0%, from $55.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Exclusive of a favorable $3.4 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 2.0%, from the second quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $9.4 million, or 14%. Exclusive of an unfavorable $3.2 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $6.2 million, or 9.3%, from the third quarter a year ago.

 

 

The $1.1 million sequential net revenue decline, exclusive of currency, is comprised of a $0.8 million decline from traditional voice services and $0.6 million decline from prepaid voice services, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in local, VoIP, broadband internet, data and hosting service revenue.

Australia

 

 

Net revenue of $63.7 million increased $5.2 million, or 8.9%, from $58.5 million in the second quarter of 2009. Exclusive of a favorable $5.7 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $0.5 million, or 0.8%, from the second quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $7.1 million, or 10.0%. Exclusive of an unfavorable $4.5 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $2.6 million, or 3.6%, from the third quarter a year ago.

 

 

The $0.5 million sequential net revenue decline, exclusive of currency, is comprised of a $0.6 million decline from traditional long distance voice and off-net local services, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase from on-net local, VoIP, broadband internet, data and hosting services.

Wholesale

 

 

Net revenue of $53.6 million increased $3.3 million, or 6.6%, from $50.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Exclusive of a favorable $1.6 million currency effect, net revenue increased $1.6 million, or 3.3%, from the second quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $0.4 million, or 1.0%. Exclusive of an unfavorable $3.5 million currency effect, net revenue increased $3.0 million, or 5.6%, from the third quarter a year ago.

 

 

The $1.6 million sequential net revenue increase, exclusive of currency, is a result of continued expansion of our network routing capabilities.

United States

 

 

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $15.9 million, down $1.0 million, or 6.2%, from $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $5.2 million, or 24.6%.

 

 

The $1.0 million sequential net revenue decline is comprised of a $0.6 million decline from traditional voice services and a $0.4 million decline from VoIP services.

Europe

 

 

Net revenue of $13.4 million increased $0.3 million, or 2.7%, from $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. Exclusive of the favorable $0.6 million currency effect, net revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 2.4%, from the second quarter of 2009. On a year-over-year basis, net revenue decreased $2.5 million, or 16.0%. Exclusive of an unfavorable $1.1 million currency effect, net revenue declined $1.5 million, or 9.1%, from the third quarter a year ago.

 

 

The $0.3 million sequential net revenue decline, exclusive of currency, is comprised of a $0.4 million decline in traditional voice services partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in VoIP services.

Net revenue less cost of revenue was $71.9 million, or 34.6% of net revenue, compared to $70.8 million, or 36.0% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $81.4 million, or 35.2% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential margin percentage decline reflects the benefit of a $1.5 million cost of sales dispute settlement in the second quarter and an increase in lower-margin wholesale revenue, partially offset by continued efforts to reduce and contain costs. The year-over-year margin percentage decline is reflective of a shift in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was $51.1 million, or 24.6% of net revenue, compared to $50.4 million, or 25.6% of net revenue in the prior quarter, and $69.5 million, or 30.1% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The $0.7 million sequential increase in SG&A expense reflects a $2.9 million increase from foreign currency, a $0.5 million increase in advertising and a $1.1 million increase in occupancy, travel and general costs, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in salaries and benefits as a result of lower severance and incentive compensation expense, a $1.1 million decrease in professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in commissions. The year-over-year $18.4 million decrease in SG&A reflects a $2.8 million decrease from foreign currency translation and a $15.6 million decrease which includes virtually all categories of expense and is reflective of the Company’s cost containment actions over the past year.

 

2


Income from operations was $0.6 million, reflecting increased depreciation and amortization as compared to the sequential and year ago quarters as a result of the fair valuing of fixed and intangible assets per Fresh Start accounting which was implemented effective July 1, 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense was $20.0 million as compared to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $9.4 million in the year ago quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $21.0 million, or 10.1% of net revenue, compared to $20.4 million, or 10.4% of net revenue, in the prior quarter and $12.0 million, or 5.2% of net revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The sequential improvement reflects a $1.4 million increase from currency translation and the variances described above. The year-over-year increase is reflective of cost reductions implemented throughout the past year and $4.0 million of additional charges for doubtful accounts receivable, indirect tax accruals and severance costs recorded in the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure – see non-GAAP measure reconciliations and descriptions below.

Interest expense was $8.8 million, an increase of $5.4 million from $3.4 million in the prior quarter and a $4.0 million decrease from $12.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The sequential increase is attributable to the Company’s resumption of interest accruals on July 1, 2009, subsequent to completion of the Company’s financial restructuring on debt obligations previously subject to compromise. The year-over-year decrease is attributable to a reduction in the Company’s level of indebtedness as a result of this restructuring.

Net loss was $15.2 million, or $(1.58) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $25.4 million, or $0.18 per basic and $0.15 per diluted common share, in the prior quarter and a net loss of $33.2 million, or $(0.23) per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Net loss for the third quarter of 2009 includes a $4.4 million foreign currency transaction loss. Net income in the second quarter 2009 reflected a $24.2 million foreign currency transaction gain and an $8.3 million expense from reorganization items. Net income for the third quarter 2008 included a $23.0 million foreign currency transaction loss.

The number of shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share in the third quarter of 2009 was 9.6 million, a decrease from prior periods as the number of basic and dilutive common shares outstanding reflect the completion of the Company’s financial restructuring.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Resources

PRIMUS ended the third quarter 2009 with $41.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up from $41.5 million at June 30, 2009. Cash uses during the quarter were comprised of $3.9 million in capital expenditures, $4.6 million for debt reduction, $4.0 million for interest, $2.8 million for taxes, $1.3 million for working capital and $6.1 million for payment of reorganization costs. These uses were offset by $21.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $2.1 million from currency movements. During the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company expects to make payments of approximately $4.0 million for previously accrued reorganization expenses and settlements.

The principal amount of PRIMUS’ long-term debt obligations as of September 30, 2009 was $252.6 million.

Free Cash Flow for the third quarter 2009 was $9.1 million compared to $14.2 million in the prior quarter and $(6.8) 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. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure – see non-GAAP measure reconciliations and descriptions below.

“We made progress in implementing our cost reduction initiatives, and are on track to complete the bulk of our $10 million annualized savings target by year end,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer. “Capital expenditures in the quarter were $3.9 million, over 90% of which was devoted to expanding growth services in our core Australian and Canadian markets. Through our overall cost discipline, a favorable sequential currency effect, and reduced debt service, we generated free cash flow of $9.1 million in the quarter. We ended the third quarter with $41.9 million in cash, after having paid previously accrued costs of $11.4 million including reorganization fees of $6.1 million; income taxes of $2.8 million; indirect taxes of $2.2 million and other settlements of $0.3 million.

“In the fourth quarter, we plan a continued focus on aggressive cost management and on maximizing free cash flow generation. Our objective is to continue the trend from the past three quarters of stable Adjusted EBITDA, giving consideration to modest quarterly variation from currency, seasonality and increases in marketing expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to increase from third quarter levels but we expect to remain well within the $18 million 2009 annual ceiling contained in our debt covenants.”
