The announcement of S.M.A.R.T. Networks  (Secure, Multiplatform, Analytics-Driven, Responsive and Tiered) as a revolutionary new approach to providing public Wi-Fi access with exponential improvements in user experience and venue analytics in airports and other large-scale venues.

 

Management Commentary

 

We had another strong quarter, exceeding our revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance,” said David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless.  “Operationally, we continue to deliver on our strategic priorities – acquiring long-term wireless rights in large venues, building state-of-the-art networks, and monetizing the networks with retail, wholesale and advertising products.”

 

Mr. Hagan  continued, “Recently, we achieved a major milestone with our military deployments, which now span 21 bases and more than 100,000 beds. During the quarter, we signed a major DAS agreement for one of the country’s most visible construction projects and launched Wi-Fi service at the 10th busiest airport in the US. And lastly, we are beginning to see the advent of true carrier offload to our Wi-Fi networks. We continue to believe that our strategic initiatives will help drive double-digit growth opportunities longer term, and that we are incredibly well positioned to take advantage of continued mobile data growth.

 

Business Outlook

 

Boingo Wireless is updating and narrowing guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2014, as follows:

 

Full Year 2014

·

Revenue is expected to be in the range of $117.0 million to $120.0 million.

·

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $23.0 million to $24.5 million.

·

Net loss attributable to common stockholders is expected to be in the range of $17.5 million to $16.0 million, or a  net loss of $0.50 to $0.46 per diluted share.

Members of Boingo Wireless’ management will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2014 financial results beginning at 4:30 pm ET (1:30 pm PT), today, November 6, 2014. To participate in the conference call, investors from the U.S. and Canada should dial (877) 407-0789 and enter the passcode: 13592036 ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Boingo Wireless’ financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boingo Wireless provides Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, income tax expense (benefit),  amortization of intangible assets, stock‑based compensation expense, non-controlling interests and interest and other (income) expense, net.

Boingo Wireless believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance. Boingo’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of the company’s performance for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative financial measure to net loss attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
