CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 4, 2009--Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE:CBB) today announced third quarter 2009 net income of $28 million, or 12 cents diluted earnings per share, which is a per share increase of 18 percent compared to the third quarter of 2008 and 7 percent versus the second quarter of 2009. Total revenues for the third quarter 2009 of $338 million decreased 3 percent from the third quarter of 2008 but increased 3 percent sequentially. Operating income of $73 million, which includes a $5 million loss on sale of wireless spectrum, decreased $7 million or 8 percent compared to the third quarter 2008, and decreased $2 million or 3 percent compared to the second quarter 2009. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization1 (Adjusted EBITDA) of $120 million was comparable to last year and up $2 million or 2 percent sequentially.
“Despite the continuing difficult economic climate, we are pleased that our revenue increased compared to the second quarter, driven by growth in our Technology Solutions and Wireless businesses. This enabled us to deliver the same level of Adjusted EBITDA that we generated last year,” said Jack Cassidy, president and chief executive officer. “Now that we have refinanced our 2013 debt, we have a significant amount of operating and financial flexibility. This flexibility will allow us to focus our efforts on investing and growing our data center business, which over the last few years has performed extremely well and was recently recognized as a service provider partner to the newly formed Virtual Computing Environment Coalition. This joint venture includes Cisco, EMC and VMware and will provide private virtualized cloud services. We believe this partnership will continue to help transform and further grow our data center business.”
Quarterly Highlights
- Quarterly revenue from Technology Solutions totaled $78 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase in data center and managed services revenue of $3 million or 10 percent and an increase in revenue from telecom and IT equipment of $2 million or 5 percent. The growth in the data center business was the primary contributor to the 16 percent increase in Adjusted EBITDA for Technology Solutions. On a sequential quarterly basis, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA increased 18 percent and 21 percent, respectively, due to increased equipment sales.
- Wireless service revenue in the third quarter 2009 was $72 million compared to $74 million in the prior year quarter. Higher data revenue, driven by smartphone subscriber growth, was more than offset by lower voice revenue resulting from a year-over-year decline in postpaid voice minutes of use per subscriber. Cincinnati Bell’s focus on smartphone subscriber growth resulted in an additional 6,000 smartphone subscribers in the third quarter of 2009.
- Cincinnati Bell continued to repurchase common stock under the program authorized by its Board of Directors in February 2008. In the third quarter of 2009, common stock repurchases totaled 7 million shares for $25 million. Since the program’s inception, the company has purchased 44 million shares for $136 million, representing 18 percent of shares outstanding at the end of 2007 and leaving $14 million to be spent in the fourth quarter to complete the program.
- The company’s net debt2 decreased by $86 million from the third quarter of 2008 to $1.89 billion, dropping below $1.9 billion for the first time in 10 years. Free cash flow3 of $35 million for the third quarter of 2009 increased $12 million from the prior year period.
Financial and Operations Review
“This quarter’s profitability clearly shows the results of the aggressive expense reductions we took in the first half of the year, which enabled us to improve our Adjusted EBITDA margin by almost a full percentage point and deliver the same Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year on lower revenue,” said Gary Wojtaszek, chief financial officer. “We also continued to focus on managing our balance sheet by completing an additional $25 million of share repurchases, opportunistically purchasing $33 million of debt at a 24 percent discount, and, in October 2009, refinancing $440 million of debt with a very attractive $500 million 8 1/4% senior notes offering that doesn’t mature until 2017.”
Wireline Segment
Third quarter 2009 revenue totaled $191 million, a decrease of $10 million or 5 percent from a year ago. The cost reduction programs initiated by the company caused operating income of $66 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $93 million to both be flat compared to the third quarter of 2008.
Year-over-year total access line loss in the third quarter 2009 was 6.8 percent, consistent with the overall loss experienced over the past year. Growth in residential and business access lines in the company’s expansion markets continued to partially offset the impact of a loss of access lines in its traditional service area.
Wireless Segment
Quarterly revenue from the Wireless segment of $78 million decreased $3 million or 4 percent compared to the prior year, and increased $1 million or 2 percent versus the second quarter of 2009. Third quarter 2009 operating income of $4 million includes a $5 million loss on the sale of wireless spectrum for the Indianapolis, Indiana region, and is the primary cause of the $7 million operating income decrease compared to the third quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million decreased by $2 million compared both to the prior year and the second quarter of 2009.
Postpaid subscriber average revenue per user (ARPU) in the third quarter was $49.27 compared to $48.82 a year ago and included data ARPU growth of 23 percent. This improvement reflects positive momentum in acquiring smartphone subscribers. Prepaid ARPU was $28.70, up $2.37 year-over-year.
Technology Solutions Segment
Technology Solutions quarterly revenue of $78 million increased $5 million or 7 percent from the third quarter of 2008, which includes an increase in data center and managed services revenue of $3 million or 10 percent year-over-year. Operating income of $7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $12 million were both up 16 percent from a year ago, driven by the increased data center revenue.
Compared to the second quarter of 2009, revenue increased $12 million or 18 percent due to increased equipment sales, as customer demand for IT equipment that had been suppressed by the economy began to be realized in the third quarter of 2009. Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were both up $2 million sequentially due to the increased equipment sales and lower operating costs.
Data center utilization was 80 percent on 271,000 square feet of data center space at September 30, 2009 compared to 88 percent on 202,000 square feet at the end of the third quarter of 2008.

In particular, statements, projections or estimates that include or reference the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “will,” or any similar expression fall within the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. Actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those indicated or suggested by any such forward-looking statement for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to: changing market conditions and growth rates within the telecommunications industry or generally within the overall economy; changes in competition in markets in which the company operates; pressures on the pricing of company products and services; advances in telecommunications technology; the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund the company’s business plan, repay the company’s debt and interest obligations, and maintain its networks; the ability to refinance indebtedness when required on commercially reasonable terms; changes in the telecommunications regulatory environment; changes in the demand for the company’s services and products; the demand for particular products and services within the overall mix of products sold, as the company’s products and services have varying profit margins; the company’s ability to introduce new service and product offerings on a timely and cost effective basis; work stoppage caused by labor disputes; restrictions imposed under various credit facilities and debt instruments; the company’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees; the company’s ability to access capital markets and the successful execution of restructuring initiatives; changes in the funded status of the company’s retiree pension and healthcare plans; disruption in operations caused by a health pandemic, such as the H1N1 influenza virus; changes in the company’s relationships with current large customers, a small number of whom account for a significant portion of company revenue; and disruption in the company’s back-office information technology systems, including its billing system.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), net debt, free cash flow, and net income excluding special items. These are non-GAAP financial measures used by Cincinnati Bell management when evaluating results of operations and cash flow. Management believes these measures also provide users of the financial statements with additional and useful comparisons of current results of operations and cash flows with past and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. Detailed reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, net debt, free cash flow, and net income excluding special items to comparable GAAP financial measures have been included in the tables distributed with this release and are available in the Investor Relations section of www.cincinnatibell.com.
1Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of operational performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP operating income plus depreciation, amortization, restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.
2Net debt provides a useful measure of liquidity and financial health. The company defines net debt as the sum of the face amount of short-term and long-term debt and unamortized premium and/or discount, offset by cash and cash equivalents.
3Free cash flow provides a useful measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating, financing and investing activities, adjusted for the issuance and repayment of debt, debt issuance costs, the repurchase of common stock, and the proceeds from the sale or the use of funds from the purchase of business operations. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities, or the change in cash on the balance sheet and may not be comparable with free cash flow as defined by other companies. Although the company feels that there is no comparable GAAP measure for free cash flow, the attached financial information reconciles free cash flow to the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents.
Net income excluding special items provides a useful measure of operating performance. Net income excluding special items should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with net income excluding special items as defined by other companies.
