Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 4, 2016, Windstream Holdings, Inc (“Windstream”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s second quarter 2016 consolidated results of operations. The press release presents our unaudited consolidated results of operations measured under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and certain unaudited adjusted results of operations, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in a company’s financial statements. The non-GAAP financial measures used by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The unaudited consolidated results presented on a adjusted basis exclude merger and integration costs associated with strategic transactions and results of operations of disposed non-strategic businesses when compared to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Windstream's purpose for excluding merger and integration costs and the operating results of disposed non-strategic businesses is to improve the comparability of results of operations in order to focus on the true earnings capacity associated with providing telecommunication services.
We use adjusted results as a key measure of our operational performance. Windstream management, including the chief operating decision-maker, uses these measures consistently for all purposes, including internal reporting, the evaluation of business objectives, opportunities and performance, and the determination of management compensation.
Our press release, and other communications from time to time, include a non-GAAP measure titled operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”). OIBDA can be calculated directly from the Company’s financial statements by taking operating income and adding back depreciation and amortization expense. Management considers OIBDA to be useful to investors because OIBDA provides information specific to the Company’s operating performance.
We also make reference to adjusted OIBDA, adjusted OIBDAR, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted capital expenditures, which are also non-GAAP measures. In addition to excluding merger and integration costs and the operating results of disposed non-strategic businesses, these non-GAAP measures also adjust for the impact of the restructuring charges, pension costs, share-based compensation expense, and the annual cash rent payment due under the master lease agreement with Communications Sales & Leasing, Inc. (“CS&L”). Adjusted OIBDA and adjusted OIBDAR are included to provide investors with useful information about our operating performance before the impacts of certain non-cash items and to enhance the comparability of operating results for the periods presented.
Adjusted OIBDA, defined as OIBDA excluding the impacts of pension costs, restructuring charges, share-based compensation expense, merger and integration costs related to strategic transactions and the operating results of disposed non-strategic businesses and including the annual cash rent payment due under the master lease agreement with CS&L.

Adjusted OIBDAR, defined as adjusted OIBDA excluding the impact of the annual cash payment due under the master lease agreement with CS&L.

Adjusted free cash flow, defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization, merger and integration costs, pension costs, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and the annual cash rent payment due under the master lease agreement with CS&L, less capital expenditures, interest paid on long-term debt obligations, income taxes paid, net of refunds, plus cash dividends received on our investment in CS&L common stock. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow provides investors with useful information about the ability of the Company’s core operations to generate cash flow.

Adjusted capital expenditures, defined as capital expenditures excluding the impacts of capital expenditures related to Project Excel, a $250 million capital program funded entirely using a portion of the $575 million proceeds from the sale of the data center business completed on December 18, 2015.

Windstream reports second-quarter results
Expanded Enterprise Contribution Margin; Significantly Reduced Debt

Release date: Aug. 4, 2016

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN), a leading provider of advanced network communications and technology solutions, today reported second-quarter results.

“We are making solid progress on achieving our 2016 goals. Each business unit is executing an operational strategy to advance the goal of stabilizing and growing operating cash flow over time. We are making the right investments and optimizing the balance sheet. All of which will drive improving results and create value for investors,” said Tony Thomas, president and chief executive officer at Windstream.

Results under GAAP

Total revenues and sales were $1.36 billion and total service revenues were $1.33 billion in the second quarter compared to $1.42 billion and $1.38 billion respectively year-over-year. Operating income was $155 million compared to $79 million in the period a year ago. Net income was $1.5 million or 1 cent per share compared to a loss of $111 million or a loss of $1.13 per share a year ago.

Adjusted Results of Operations

Adjusted service revenues were $1.33 billion, a decrease of 1 percent from the same period a year ago. Adjusted OIBDAR was $482 million, an increase of 1 percent year-over-year.

Consumer and small business ILEC service revenues were $395 million, a decrease of 2 percent from the same period a year ago. Consumer service revenues were $311 million, a decrease of 1 percent year-over-year. Consumer average revenue per household increased 1 percent sequentially and 5 percent year-over-year driven partly by higher consumer adoption rates of premium Internet speeds.

Carrier service revenues were $160 million, a decrease of 7 percent year-over-year. Core carrier and wholesale revenues were $149 million, a decrease of $1 million sequentially.

Enterprise service revenues were $491 million, an increase of 3 percent year-over-year. Enterprise contribution margin was $80 million, or 15.7 percent, an increase of $32 million, or 68 percent, year-over-year, and an increase of $9 million, or 13 percent, sequentially.

Small business CLEC service revenues were $125 million, a 12 percent decrease year-over-year. Small business CLEC contribution margin remained steady sequentially at $41 million, or 33 percent.

Balance Sheet

During the quarter, Windstream completed the disposition of all of its shares in Communications Sales & Leasing (CS&L) in a debt-for-equity exchange to retire approximately $672 million in debt. Through the debt-for-equity exchange and open market debt repurchases over the last 12 months to date, the company has lowered debt by $740 million.

Quarterly Dividend

On Aug. 3, 2016, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 15 cents per share payable Oct. 17, 2016, to stockholders of record as of Sept. 30, 2016.

Financial Outlook for 2016

Windstream affirmed its previously provided financial guidance for the year with improved cash interest and cash tax guidance.

The company expects total service revenue of $5.275 billion to $5.425 billion and adjusted OIBDAR of $1.90 billion to $1.95 billion.





Adjusted capital expenditures are expected to be between $800 million and $850 million, which excludes approximately $200 million in expected investments to complete Project Excel, a program funded by a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the company’s data center business. Project Excel accelerates Windstream’s plans to upgrade and modernize its broadband capabilities to the latest technology by year-end 2016, or two years ahead of the company’s previous timeline.

The company now expects cash interest expense of approximately $365 million and cash taxes of about $10 million, resulting in adjusted free cash flow of approximately $100 million in 2016.

Windstream claims the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual future events and results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, 2016 guidance for adjusted service revenue, adjusted OIBDAR and adjusted capital expenditures, along with statements regarding free cash flow, cash interest expense and cash taxes in 2016; expectations regarding revenue trends and improving margins in the business segments; network cost optimization; stability and growth in adjusted OIBDAR; the anticipated benefits of Project Excel to improve network capabilities; the anticipated increase in availability of higher Internet speeds; the completion and benefits of network investments pursuant to the Connect America Fund; expectations regarding deployments of Windstream’s IPTV service, 1 Gig service and expanding the carrier network, products and customer verticals; and Windstream’s ability to improve its debt profile and reduce interest costs. These statements, along with other forward-looking statements regarding Windstream’s overall business outlook, are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions that Windstream believes are reasonable but are not guarantees of future events and results. Actual future events and results of Windstream may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors. For risk factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those expressed, refer to Windstream’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in Windstream’s forward looking statements include, among others:

further adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets served by Windstream;

the extent, timing and overall effects of competition in the communications business;

the company’s election to accept state-wide offers under the FCC’s Connect America Fund, Phase 2, and the impact of such election on future receipt by the company of federal universal service funds and capital expenditures;

the potential for incumbent carriers to impose monetary penalties for failure to meet specific volume and term commitments under their special access pricing plans, which Windstream uses to lease last-mile connections to serve its retail business data service customers, without further FCC action;

the impact of new, emerging or competing technologies;

for certain operations where Windstream leases facilities from other carriers, adverse effects on the availability, quality of service, price of facilities and services provided by other carriers on which Windstream’s services depend;

unfavorable rulings by state public service commissions in proceedings regarding universal service funds, inter-carrier compensation or other matters that could reduce revenues or increase expenses;

material changes in the communications industry that could adversely affect vendor relationships with equipment and network suppliers and customer relationships with wholesale customers;

changes to Windstream’s current dividend practice which is subject to the company’s capital allocation policy and may be changed at any time at the discretion of its board of directors;

the company’s ability to make rent payments under the master lease to CS&L, which may be affected by results of operations, changes in the company’s cash requirements, cash tax payment obligations, or overall financial position;

unanticipated increases or other changes in the company’s future cash requirements, whether caused by unanticipated increases in capital expenditures, increases in pension funding requirements, or otherwise;

the availability and cost of financing in the corporate debt markets;

the potential for adverse changes in the ratings given to Windstream’s debt securities by nationally accredited ratings organizations;

earnings on pension plan investments significantly below Windstream’s expected long term rate of return for plan assets or a significant change in the discount rate or other actuarial assumptions;

unfavorable results of litigation or intellectual property infringement claims asserted against Windstream;




the risks associated with non-compliance by Windstream with regulations or statutes applicable to government programs under which Windstream receives material amounts of end user revenue and government subsidies, or non-compliance by Windstream, its partners, or its subcontractors with any terms of its government contracts;

the effects of federal and state legislation, and rules and regulations governing the communications industry;

continued loss of consumer households served and consumer high-speed Internet customers;

the impact of equipment failure, natural disasters or terrorist acts;

the effects of work stoppages by Windstream employees or employees of other communications companies on whom Windstream relies for service; and

those additional factors under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of Windstream’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

In addition to these factors, actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially because of more general factors including, among others, general industry and market conditions and growth rates, economic conditions, and governmental and public policy changes.

Windstream undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors that could cause Windstream’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties that may affect Windstream’s future results included in other filings by Windstream with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 
 
 
 
 

(A)
Represents applicable amount related to the disposed data center and consumer CLEC businesses and directory publishing operations as reported under GAAP. There were no product sales attributed to the disposed businesses.
(B)
Represents applicable amount as reported under GAAP - See Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(C)
Represents the impact of the annual cash rent payment due under the master lease agreement with CS&L assuming the lease payments began on January 1, 2015.
(D)
Represents applicable amount reported under GAAP - See Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(E)
Represents capital expenditures related to Project Excel, a $250 million capital program funded entirely using a portion of the $575 million proceeds from the sale of the data center business completed on December 18, 2015.
(F)
Consists of non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discounts and premiums, accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations, ineffectiveness on interest rate swaps, gains on the sale of property, and other non-cash miscellaneous income and expenses.    

Windstream Holdings, Inc ("Windstream", "we", "us", "our") has presented in this press release unaudited adjusted results, which exclude the impacts of the disposed data center and consumer CLEC businesses and directory publishing operations and all merger and integration costs resulting from strategic transactions. In addition to these adjustments, we have presented certain measures of our operating performance that adjusts for the impact of the annual cash rent payment due under the master lease agreement with Communications Sales & Leasing ("CS&L"), and exclude the impacts of restructuring charges, pension costs and share-based compensation expense.

Our purpose for these adjustments is to improve the comparability of results of operations for all periods presented in order to focus on the true earnings capacity associated with providing telecommunication services. Additionally, management believes that presenting adjusted measures assists investors by providing more meaningful comparisons of results from current and prior periods, and by providing information that is a better reflection of the true earnings capacity of our current operations. We use adjusted results, including adjusted OIBDA, adjusted OIBDAR, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted capital expenditures as key measures of the operational performance of our business. Our management, including the chief operating decision-maker, consistently uses these measures for internal reporting and the evaluation of business objectives, opportunities and performance.
