On May 5, 2008, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. 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 net 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 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS
McLEAN, VA — (MARKET WIRE) – May 5, 2008 — PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (OTCBB: PRTL), a global, facilities-based integrated communications services provider, today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
First Quarter 2008 Highlights:
| • | $227 Million Net Revenue, Up $4 Million or 2% From Prior Quarter |
| • | $10 Million Income from Operations |
| • | $15 Million Adjusted EBITDA |
| • | $16 Million of Debt Principal Reduction |
PRIMUS reported first quarter 2008 net revenue of $227 million, up $4 million from $223 million in the prior quarter and in line with the first quarter 2007. The Company reported a ($3) million net loss for the quarter, compared to net income of $2 million in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($3) million in the first quarter 2007. As a result, the Company reported ($0.02) of basic and diluted net loss per common share in the first quarter 2008, as compared to basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share of $0.01 in the prior quarter and ($0.02) in the year-ago quarter.
“We are encouraged by the results in the first quarter, particularly the sequential growth in both overall and retail revenue—a goal that we have been pursuing,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PRIMUS. “While we recognize that a single quarter is far from a trend, we hope the results are an early indication that our targeted investments in sales and marketing and infrastructure will lead to further progress in increasing retail revenues.
“Despite the positive revenue performance in the first quarter, we believe it is premature to adjust our prior guidance of a 2% to 5% year-over-year net revenue decline. Similarly, assuming currency exchange rates remain at current levels, we confirm our prior 2008 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to be in the range of $65 million to $80 million. That outcome will be influenced by the success we achieve in our expanded sales and marketing efforts. In addition, we now expect capital expenditures for the year to be in the $25 million to $30 million range, approximately $5 million lower than our prior guidance,” Mr. Singh said.
“During the first quarter, we accomplished the following: opened new, and expanded existing, data centers in Canada and Australia; expanded the global DSLAM footprint by 35 to a total of 288 to expand the availability of our broadband services; augmented network capacity to offer higher speed DSL services in Australia and Canada; and continued growth of the Company’s direct sales force and telemarketing capabilities across its major markets,” Mr. Singh stated.
“Also, during the quarter, we purchased and retired $15 million principal amount of the Company’s outstanding debt maturing in 2009. In addition, we completed the sales of a minority equity investment in a Japanese entity and surplus fiber assets for an aggregate $3 million in cash proceeds. We continue to pursue other potential sales of select assets to improve our liquidity and narrow our geographical focus to our major franchises in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. However, the uncertainty in the capital markets combined with a weak overall economic outlook may extend our time horizon to meet our goal of generating $50 million in cash proceeds from assets sales, particularly if valuation parameters are not at acceptable levels,” Mr. Singh concluded.
First Quarter 2008 Financial Results
“First quarter 2008 net revenue was $227 million, up 2% or $4 million from the prior quarter and in line with the first quarter 2007. The $4 million revenue increase as compared to the prior quarter was comprised of a $3 million increase in wholesale services revenue and a $1 million increase in retail services revenue,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer. “The growth in retail services revenue reflects continued increases from high-margin broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting revenues, which, for the first time in over nine quarters, exceeded the decline in legacy voice and dial-up Internet services revenue. We believe attaining retail revenue growth lends validity to our strategy of making network investments and shifting resources to sales and marketing.”
Net revenue from broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting services was $60 million (26% of net revenue) for the first quarter 2008, up from $58 million (26% of net revenue) in the prior quarter—a sequential growth rate of 3%. The mix of net revenue was 82% retail (55% residential and 27% business) and 18% wholesale. The first quarter retail revenue mix of 82% compares to 82% and 80% in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. Geographic retail revenue mix, as a percent of total revenue, was comprised of 33% from Asia-Pacific, 30% from Canada, 7% from Europe and 12% from the United States.
Net revenue less cost of revenue was $84 million or 37.3% of net revenue in the first quarter as compared to $91 million and 40.9% in the prior quarter and $82 million and 36.3% in the year-ago quarter. The fourth quarter 2007 figure included a $6 million retroactive benefit as a result of cost determinations mandated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC”).
In April 2008, the ACCC issued a Final Determination related to unconditional local loop services connection and call diversion charges. As a result, the Company expects to receive a cash refund in June 2008 of a portion of fees previously paid plus interest, the total amount of which is still being calculated and confirmed.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the first quarter was $69 million (30.6% of net revenue), down $5 million from $74 million in the prior quarter (33.3% of net revenue) and up $1 million from $68 million (30.1% of net revenue) in the year-ago quarter.
Income from operations was $10 million in the first quarter 2008 (including a $3 million gain from sale of assets), an improvement of $3 million from the prior quarter and $2 million from the first quarter 2007.
First quarter 2008 Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in the attached schedule, was $15 million, a decrease of $2 million from $17 million in the prior quarter and an increase of $1 million from $14 million in the year-ago quarter. The fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA included the $6 million benefit from the ACCC determination.
Interest expense for the first quarter 2008 was $15 million, down slightly from the prior quarter and up from $13 million in the first quarter 2007. The increase over the year-ago quarter is attributable to the interest related to the 14 1/4% Senior Secured Notes, issued in February and March 2007.
Income tax expense for the first quarter was $2 million, which includes charges for determination of possible future tax obligations under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” and withholding tax expense for intercompany interest and royalty fees owed by certain foreign subsidiaries.
Net loss was ($3) million in the first quarter 2008 (including a $2 million gain from early extinguishment of debt and a $2 million gain on foreign currency transactions), as compared to net income of $2 million in the fourth quarter 2007 (including a $2 million gain on foreign currency transactions), and a net loss of ($3) million in the first quarter 2007 (including a $6 million loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and a $3 million gain on foreign currency transactions).
Basic and diluted net loss per common share was ($0.02) for the first quarter 2008, as compared to basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share of $0.01 and ($0.02) for the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share, as calculated in the attached schedule, was ($0.07) for the first quarter 2008, compared to ($0.00) for the fourth quarter 2007 and ($0.05) in the year-ago quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
PRIMUS ended the first quarter 2008 with a cash balance of $67 million ($56 million unrestricted) as compared to $91 million ($81 million unrestricted) as of December 31, 2007. The $25 million decrease in unrestricted cash balance is comprised of $7 million for capital expenditures primarily to fund the previously announced Australian DSLAM network expansion and the Canadian data center expansion, $16 million for interest payments, $11
million to purchase and retire $15 million principal amount of the Company’s outstanding debt maturing in 2009, $2 million for scheduled debt principal reductions, and $7 million for working capital movements. These declines are offset by $15 million of Adjusted EBITDA, and $3 million from the sale of assets.
Free Cash Flow for the first quarter 2008, as calculated in the attached schedule, was negative ($14) million (comprised of $7 million used in operating activities and $7 million utilized for capital expenditures) as compared to negative ($12) million in the prior quarter and negative ($13) million in the year-ago quarter.
The principal amount of PRIMUS’s long-term debt obligations as of March 31, 2008 was $649 million, as compared to $664 million at December 31, 2007.
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 and/or its subsidiaries’ outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means, issuing debt or equity or purchasing its equity in the open market to the extent permitted by existing covenants.
