Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Item 7.01.     Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On March 17, 2014, Towerstream Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing results for the three and Twelve months ended December 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and 7.01 and shall not be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitutes material investorinformation that is not otherwise publicly available. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The Company uses certain Non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company's business performance and that of its segments. These Non-GAAP measures are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, investors are cautioned about using or relying on these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. The Company’s methods of calculating these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

 

A definition of key Non-GAAP measures that the Company employs, and how it uses them to monitor business performance, are as follows:

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, stock-based compensation, deferred rent expense, other non-operating income or expenses, as well as gain or loss on (i) disposal of property and equipment, (ii) nonmonetary transactions, and (iii) business acquisitions.

 

“Adjusted Market EBITDA” also excludes corporate overhead expenses and other centralized costs. The Company believes that Adjusted Market EBITDA trends are insightful indicators of its markets’ relative performance, and whether its markets are able to produce sufficient market cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditure needs.

 

“EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

 

“Market Cash Flow” represents the amount of cash generated in a market after deducting a market’s direct operating expenses from that market’s revenues. Market Cash Flow does not include (i) centralized costs which support all markets collectively or (ii) any network related capital expenditures incurred in a market.

 

“Net Cash Flows” represents Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.

 

 
 

 

 

The following reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP financial measures are presented in the attached press release: (i) Adjusted Market EBITDA to Net Loss, Fixed Wireless Segment, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss, and (iii) Net Cash Flow to Net Cash Used in Operating Activities.

 

Any statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 8-K are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) which statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "plans," "projects," "will," "may," "anticipates," "believes," "should," "intends," "estimates," and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements, include certain statements regarding intent, beliefs, expectations, projections, forecasts and plans, which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. A number of factors described from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K are based on information available at the time of the report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA.

Management Comments

 

"We are pleased to report that HetNets revenue grew 21% sequentially driven by our first full quarter of rent-based Wi-Fi revenue,” stated Jeffrey Thompson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect HetNets Wi-Fi revenue to continue to grow at a double digit rate sequentially, while we position the company for carrier small cell deployments in the second half of the year.”

 

"Strong customer upgrade activity continued to drive growth in ARPU for our fixed wireless segment and our recently launched 100 Mbps offering is gaining traction among new customers" stated Joseph Hernon, Chief Executive Financial Officer.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company has two reportable segments. The Fixed Wireless segment provides fixed wireless broadband services to commercial customers and delivers access over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. The Shared Wireless Infrastructure segment offers a range of rental options on street level rooftops related to (i) the installation of customer owned Small Cells, (ii) the offloading of mobile data, and (iii) backhaul, power and other related telecommunications.

 

The Corporate group includes corporate overhead and centralized activities which support our overall operations. Corporate overhead includes administrative personnel, including executive management, and other support functions such as information technology and facilities. Centralized operations include network operations, customer care, and the management of network assets. Corporate costs are not allocated to the segments because such costs are managed on a centralized basis. Management also believes that not allocating these centralized costs provides a better reflection of the direct operating performance of each segment.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures

 

We use certain Non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company's business performance and that of our segments. These Non-GAAP measures are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, investors are cautioned about using or relying on these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

 

A definition of the Non-GAAP measures that we employ, and how we use them to monitor business performance, are as follows:

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, stock-based compensation, deferred rent expense, other non-operating income or expenses, as well as gain or loss on (i) disposal of property and equipment, (ii) nonmonetary transactions, and (iii) business acquisitions.

 

“Adjusted Market EBITDA” also excludes corporate overhead expenses and other centralized costs. We believe that Adjusted Market EBITDA trends are insightful indicators of our markets’ relative performance, and whether our markets are able to produce sufficient market cash flow to fund working capital and capital expenditure needs.

 

“ARPU” refers to the monthly average revenue per user, or customer, being generated from those customers under contract at the end of each indicated period. We calculate ARPU by dividing our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) at the end of a period by the number of customers generating that MRR.

 

“ARPU of new customers” is calculated in the same manner but only includes new customers who entered into contracts during the indicated period.

 

“Churn” and “Churn rate” refer to the percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from customers disconnecting from our network or reducing the amount of their bandwidth.

 

“Corporate” includes corporate overhead and centralized activities which support our overall operations.

 

“EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

 

“Market Cash Flow” represents the amount of cash generated in a market after deducting a market’s direct operating expenses from that market’s revenues. Market Cash Flow does not include (i) centralized costs which support all markets collectively or (ii) any network related capital expenditures incurred in a market.

 

“Net Cash Flows” represents Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.

 

“Non-Core Expenses” relate to our efforts in 2012 to develop other wireless technology solutions and services, and primarily consisted of rent payments for street level rooftops, costs associated with constructing an offload network and payroll costs for employees working on these projects.

"Shared Wireless Infrastructure, Net" represents the net operating results for that business segment.
