For the three months ended June 30, 2000, revenues increased 98% to $38.5 million from the second quarter of 1999, due to both higher site leasing revenue and site development revenue. The quarterly revenues were the highest in the company's history. Site leasing revenue increased to $11.8 million for the quarter, also a record for the company, a 105% increase over the second quarter of 1999. Gross profit for the quarter increased 102% to $13.4 million from the second quarter of 1999, due to both higher site leasing and site development gross profit. Site leasing gross profit, or tower cash flow, increased to $7.4 million for the quarter, again a record for SBA and a 147% increase over the second quarter of 1999. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation charges (EBITDA) for the quarter was $7.1 million, a 276% increase over the second quarter of 1999. Earnings (loss) per share were $(.20) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $(.64) in the year earlier period. "We are very pleased with our second quarter results," commented Steven E. Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to have significant and record growth in all areas, and are enjoying increasing synergies between our tower ownership and services businesses. Reflecting the very favorable business climate for integrated tower companies such as SBA, our backlog of new tower builds, tower acquisitions and services business are at all-time highs. With this backlog and the proceeds from our recently completed issuance of 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, we are well positioned for continued growth." "Our financial results for the quarter, as well as our previously announced operational results, were ahead of our plan," added Jeffrey A. Stoops, SBA's President. "Once again we posted strong sequential gains in the most important financial metrics; which we believe are total revenues, site leasing revenues, site leasing gross profit margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin and after-tax cash flow. Perhaps most pleasing is the fact that we achieved positive after-tax cash flow this quarter, well ahead of schedule."
