Otelco Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
ONEONTA, Alabama (August 3, 2011) – Otelco Inc. (NASDAQ: OTT) (TSX: OTT.un), a wireline telecommunications services provider in Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire and West Virginia, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011. Key highlights for Otelco include:
|
·
|
Total revenues of $25.5 million for second quarter 2011.
|
|
·
|
Operating income of $7.3 million for second quarter 2011.
|
|
·
|
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) of $11.9 million for second quarter 2011.
|
“After a slow start in the first quarter of the year, our second quarter results generated growth in revenue, operating margin and EBITDA when compared to first quarter. The management team focused on delivering superior service and controlling costs. With our expanded CLEC sales and marketing capability finally in place and the completion of our six colocation facilities in New Hampshire, we are in a position to begin to see growth in our non-regulated business.
“Our cash position remains strong,” continued Weaver. “In May, we made another voluntary repayment on our senior debt of $0.4 million representing a reduction of $11.5 million since the credit facility was renewed in October 2008. Capital investments of $3.5 million in our business infrastructure during the quarter, including approximately $0.7 million to replace assets damaged by spring tornadoes in Alabama, will support both growth and cost improvements in all of our service territories.
“The planned acquisition of Shoreham Telephone Company in Vermont is on schedule to close in fourth quarter,” added Weaver. “Shoreham will also anchor our CLEC expansion into the fourth New England state.
“The strength of our commitment to building value for and returning cash to our shareholders is unwavering, as evidenced by our twenty-sixth consecutive IDS dividend,” Weaver concluded.
Distribution to Income Deposit Security Holders
Each quarter, the Board will consider the declaration of dividends during its normally scheduled meeting. For this quarter, the Board is meeting on August 11, 2011. The scheduled interest and any dividend declared will be paid on September 30, 2011, to holders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2011. The interest payment will cover the period from June 30, 2011 through September 29, 2011. Currently, it is anticipated that the Company’s dividends in 2011 will continue to be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes. The Company has made twenty-six successive quarterly distributions of dividends and interest since its IDSs were originally offered to the public in December 2004.

(a) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and certain non-recurring fees, expenses or charges and other non-cash charges reducing consolidated net income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP). While providing useful information, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a tool to analyze the Company on the basis of operating performance and leverage. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA corresponds to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the indenture governing the Company’s senior subordinated notes and its credit facility and certain of the covenants contained therein. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

FINANCIAL DISCUSSION FOR SECOND QUARTER 2011:
Revenues
Total revenues decreased 3.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $25.5 million from $26.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. A one-time settlement in 2010 accounted for the majority of the difference. In addition, declines from the traditional loss of RLEC voice access line related revenues were not fully offset by growth in CLEC and cable television revenues. The table below provides the components of our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010.

Local services revenue decreased 2.8% in the second quarter to $11.9 million from $12.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The growth in CLEC revenue accounted for an increase of $0.1 million. RLEC revenue decreased $0.4 million reflecting the decline in RLEC voice access lines. Network access revenue decreased 6.1% in the second quarter to $8.1 million from $8.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Interstate and intrastate switched access declined $0.1 million. A one-time settlement in 2010 accounted for the remainder of the difference. Cable television revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased 1.1% to remain at $0.7 million in the same periods for 2011 and 2010. Growth in IPTV subscribers and the shift to high-definition packages in Alabama was offset by the decline in revenue associated with the conversion of our Missouri cable customers to satellite services during first quarter 2011. Internet revenue for the second quarter 2011 decreased 2.0% to stay at $3.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Growth in broadband data lines offset the loss of dial-up subscribers. Transport services revenue decreased 5.4% to $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. Market price changes for new and existing customers caused the decline.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased 6.8% to $18.2 million from $19.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of services and products increased 3.2% to $10.8 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $10.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Higher costs associated with the hosted PBX product support were partially offset by reduced overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10.1% to $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily related to a non-recurring reduction in employee and benefit costs and operating taxes plus lower legal expenses, partially offset by higher uncollectible expenses associated with carrier billing and customer credits. Depreciation and amortization for second quarter 2011 decreased 22.7% to $4.5 million from $5.8 million in second quarter 2010. Amortization of intangible assets associated with the Country Road acquisition decreased $0.3 million, including contract and customer base intangible assets. The remaining decrease of $1.0 million reflects lower depreciation of plant assets in Otelco’s regulated entities as assets become fully depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was constant at $6.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to a year ago. The increase in interest expense associated with the additional senior subordinated notes issued in the exchange of our Class B shares in June 2010 was offset by lower interest costs on our senior long-term notes resulting from voluntary principal prepayments of $6.5 million since second quarter 2010.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
As a requirement of the existing senior debt, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements intended to hedge changes in interest rates on its senior debt. The swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under the technical requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 815. Changes in value for the two swaps are reflected in change in the fair value of derivatives on the income statement and have no impact on cash. Over the life of the swaps, the change in value will be zero, with no impact on Adjusted EBITDA or operations. The liability for the swap decreased $0.5 million in second quarter 2011 compared to an increase in the liability for the swap of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $11.9 million compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2010 and $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. A one-time settlement in 2010 was a significant factor in the difference. See financial tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million compared to $18.2 million at the end of 2010. The Company made a $0.4 million voluntary prepayment in May 2011 on its senior long-term notes payable, reducing the balance to $162.0 million. This represents a combined reduction of $11.5 million since October 2008. The second quarter distribution of $5.6 million in interest and dividends to our shareowners, and $0.3 million in interest to our bond holders, occurred on June 30, 2011. This represents the twenty-sixth consecutive quarterly distribution since going public in December 2004.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $3.5 million for the quarter as the Company continues to grow and invest in its infrastructure; implement cost saving projects; and complete the repairs associated with the spring tornados in Alabama and Missouri.
