Time Warner Telecom Reports Strong Fourth Quarter 2006 Results

11 February 2007

Time Warner Telecom Inc. (Nasdaq: TWTC), a leading provider of managed voice and data networking solutions for business customers, today announced its fourth quarter 2006 financial results, including $238.8 million of revenue, $80.2 million in Modified EBITDA(1) ("M-EBITDA") and a net loss of $24.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported $812.4 million of revenue, $286.0 million of M-EBITDA, and a net loss of $98.8 million.


"This was an incredibly strong year for the Company," said Larissa Herda, Time Warner Telecom's Chairman, CEO and President. "Our organic results including revenue growth, M-EBITDA, margins, cash flow and customer growth were all impressive. We successfully executed a strategic acquisition, and accelerated free cash flow through accretive refinancing activities while maintaining our financial flexibility. We leveraged the positive momentum of our business to facilitate two equity offerings, which resulted in us becoming a non-controlled company, eliminating our Class B super-voting shares. In addition, we continued to invest in the business to focus on delivering complex solutions and serving large customer opportunities, all positioned to capture greater market share and grow revenue."


Highlights for the Quarter


For the quarter ending December 31, 2006, the Company --


* Grew total revenue 29% year over year and 22% sequentially


-- Included organic growth(2) of 9% year over year and 3% sequentially


* Grew enterprise revenue 43% year over year, and 29% sequentially


-- Included organic growth of 16% year over year and 5% sequentially


* Grew data and Internet revenue 40% year over year and 16% sequentially


-- Included organic growth of 30% year over year and 8% sequentially


* Produced $80.2 million of M-EBITDA, and 34% M-EBITDA margin


* Delivered $5.9 million of levered free cash flow(6) for the quarter


Acquisition and Integration of Xspedius ("Acquired Operations"(4))


On October 31, 2006, the Company completed its strategic acquisition of Xspedius. The Company paid $216 million in cash and issued 18.2 million Class A common shares. The Company achieved the following integration milestones in the first 60 days:


* Consolidated sales and marketing management, including the regional


sales structure, field operations and field engineering


* Integrated acquired IP backbone into the Company's nationwide network


* Integrated human resource and financial reporting systems and launched


a consolidated view of critical customer information


"To optimize the value out of our acquisition we are putting an intense focus toward fully integrating our operations," said Mark Peters, Time Warner Telecom's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "We are pleased with our integration accomplishments this quarter. As expected, we will make integration expenditures over the next 12 to 16 months, weighted more heavily earlier in the integration process, with cost synergies to be realized later in the process. Accordingly, we expect the lower margins of the acquired operations and the related integration costs will impact our consolidated margins until we realize the expected cost synergies." The Company anticipates $15 to $20 million of expenses, and $20 to $25 million in capital expenditures related to the integration process in 2007. The Company also expects margins to be impacted by regular first quarter merit increases to employee compensation, the resetting of payroll taxes, and its re-branding initiative.


Year over Year Results -- Fourth Quarter 2006 compared to Fourth


Quarter 2005


Revenue


Quarterly revenue was $238.8 million for the current quarter, as compared to $184.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of $54.3 million, or 29%. This included revenue from core operations(3) of $201.6 million, which represented a 9% growth over the same period last year. The primary components of the change in revenue included:


* $44.6 million increase in revenue from enterprise customers, which


included the impact of the acquired operations and a $17.0 million


increase from core operations


* $8.5 million increase in revenue from carriers, which included the


impact of the acquired operations and a $.7 million increase from core


operations


By product line, the percentage change in revenue year over year was as follows:


* 40% increase for data and Internet(7) services, which included the


impact of the acquired operations and strong organic growth. Core


operations included 30% organic growth due primarily to success with


Ethernet and IP-based product sales


* 58% increase for voice services(8), which included the impact of the


acquired operations and strong organic growth. Core operations


included 8% organic growth due primarily to growth in bundled voice


products


* 12% increase for network services(9) due to the acquired operations.


Core operations included 1% organic growth


* 5% increase in Intercarrier Compensation primarily related to the


acquired operations. Core operations included an 11% decrease from


core operations due to fluctuations in dispute settlements


Monthly revenue churn was 1.1% and 1.3% for the third and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively. This compares to 1.3% monthly revenue churn for the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company expects to experience ongoing churn, including disconnects from carrier customers related to their merger activities and network grooming. In the current quarter the Company experienced a $1.3 million reduction in revenue from a wireless carrier from the prior quarter, primarily related to its earlier consolidation. The Company expects the balance of this carrier's disconnects related to consolidation to be completed in the first half of 2007.


M-EBITDA and Margins


M-EBITDA grew $9.6 million to $80.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, a 14% increase over the same period last year. The increase in M-EBITDA primarily reflects the impact of the acquired operations and strong revenue growth. Included in M-EBITDA was $1.9 million of integration costs in the current quarter, and none in the same period last year. Operating costs increased primarily due to revenue growth and further investments in the business such as expansion of the IP backbone. Selling, general and administrative costs ("SG&A") remained stable in relation to total revenue between periods, but increased over the same period last year due to increases in headcount, higher commissions and acquisition costs.


Excluded from M-EBITDA, but included in operating and SG&A costs is non- cash stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2006. Operating and SG&A costs include $.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the current quarter, which was not recognized in the prior year.


M-EBITDA margin was 34% for the quarter as compared to 38% for the same quarter last year. Modified gross margin(10) was 59% for the current quarter compared to 66% for the same period last year. The difference in margins between periods primarily reflects the impact of integration costs for the Xspedius acquisition and two months of acquired operations, as well as normal fluctuations in revenue and costs. The Company utilizes a fully burdened modified gross margin, including network costs, and personnel costs for customer care, provisioning, network maintenance, technical field and network operations, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense.


Net Loss


The Company's net loss was $24.8 million, a loss of $.18 per share for the current quarter compared to a net loss of $22.3 million, a loss of $.19 per share for the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and debt extinguishment costs, the net loss narrowed to a loss of $.07 per share for the current quarter as compared to a loss of $.14 per share for the same period last year, reflecting strong M-EBITDA growth as well as significant net interest savings due to refinancing events.


Sequential Results - Fourth Quarter 2006 compared to Third Quarter 2006


Revenue


Revenue for the quarter was $238.8 million, as compared to $196.1 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $42.7 million sequentially. Revenue from core operations was $201.6 million and represented a 3% growth over the prior quarter. The primary components of the change in revenue included:


* $33.8 million increase in revenue from enterprise customers which


included the impact of the acquired operations and $6.2 million


sequential increase for core operations


* $6.2 million increase in revenue from carrier customers, which included


the impact of the acquired operations and a $1.6 million decrease from


core operations


By product line, the percentage change in revenue sequentially was as follows:


* 16% increase for data and Internet services which included the impact


of the acquired operations and strong organic growth. Core operations


included 8% organic growth due primarily to success with Ethernet and


IP-based product sales


* 49% increase for voice services which included the impact of the


acquired operations and strong organic growth. Core operations


included 2% organic growth due primarily to growth in bundled voice


products


* 10% increase in Network services due to the impact of acquired


operations. Core operations included a 1% decrease


M-EBITDA and Margins


M-EBITDA grew $9.0 million to $80.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, a 13% increase sequentially. The increase in M-EBITDA primarily reflects the impact of the acquired operations and strong revenue growth. Included in M-EBITDA was $1.9 million of integration costs in the current quarter and $.8 million in the prior quarter.


M-EBITDA margin was 34% for the quarter, as compared to 36% reported in the third quarter of 2006. Modified gross margin was 59% for the quarter as compared to 63% in the third quarter. The difference in margins between periods primarily reflects the impact of integration costs for the Xspedius acquisition and two months of acquired operations.


Net Loss


The Company's net loss was $24.8 million, a loss of $.18 per share for the quarter compared to a net loss of $11.3 million, a loss of $.09 per share for the prior quarter. Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and debt extinguishment costs, the loss was $.07 per share for the current quarter as compared to a loss of $.06 per share for the prior quarter, reflecting strong M-EBITDA growth as well as increased interest costs for the additional debt drawn to fund the Xspedius acquisition.


Full year 2006 results compared to 2005 results


For the year 2006, the Company reported revenue of $812.4 million, M- EBITDA of $286.0 million, and a net loss of $98.8 million. For the year 2006, the Company:

the impact of the acquired operations and strong organic growth from


core operations

impact of the acquired operations and strong organic growth from core


operations


--Included 30% organic growth

included the impact of the acquired operations and strong organic


growth from core operations


* Completed refinancing of $1.1 billion of debt and redeemed $640 million


of senior notes and $199 million of term loan indebtedness, improving


the effective interest costs. Moved the nearest scheduled debt


maturity to 2013, excluding minimal annual amortization of the secured


term loan


* Achieved modified gross margin of 62% and M-EBITDA margin of 35%


* Achieved $15.2 million of levered free cash flow


Capital Expenditures


Capital expenditures were $55.8 million for the fourth quarter, which included $3.5 million of investments made for integration of the acquired operations. Capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2006, were $192.7 million compared to $162.5 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for core operations were $187.0 million for the current year. For 2007, the Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $250 to $275 million, which will primarily be used to fund growth opportunities, and also includes $20 to $25 million for integration investments.


Summary


"We delivered impressive organic growth in 2006, at the same time we executed significant strategic events including completion of a valuable acquisition, acceleration of free cash flow through accretive refinancing activities and elimination of our super voting stock," said Herda. "All of our actions are focused on continuing to strengthen our differentiated market position and to enable us to grow long term shareholder value."


Time Warner Telecom Inc. plans to conduct a webcast conference call to discuss its earnings results on February 7 at 9:00 a.m. MST (11:00 a.m. EST). To access the webcast and the financial and statistical information to be discussed in the webcast, visit http://www.twtelecom.com under "Investor Relations."


(1) The Company uses a modified definition of EBITDA to eliminate certain non-cash and non-operating income or charges to earnings to enhance the comparability of its financial performance from period to period. Modified EBITDA (or "M-EBITDA") is defined as net income or loss before depreciation, amortization, accretion, asset impairment charge, interest expense, debt extinguishment costs, interest income, investment gains and losses, income tax expense or benefit, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, and, beginning the first quarter of 2006, non-cash stock-based compensation expense. (See a discussion below of Modified EBITDA under "Financial Measures".)


(2) Organic growth is defined as results from the Company's operations excluding the impact of acquired operations of Xspedius since October 31, 2006 and the related integration costs.


(3) Core operations are defined as the Company's operations excluding the results from the acquired operations of Xspedius since October 31, 2006 and the related integration costs.


(4) Acquired Operations are defined as the results of the Xspedius acquisition since October 31, 2006 and the related integration costs.


(5) The Company defines un-levered free cash flow as Modified EBITDA less capital expenditures. Un-levered free cash flow is reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website.


(6) The Company defines levered free cash flow as Modified EBITDA less capital expenditures and net interest expense from operations (but excludes debt extinguishment costs). Levered free cash flow is reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website.


(7) Data and Internet services include services that enable customers to connect their internal computer networks and to access external networks, including Internet at high speeds using Ethernet protocol. Services include metro and wide area Ethernet, virtual private network solutions and Internet access.


(8) Voice services contain traditional and next generation voice capabilities, including voice services from stand alone and bundled products, long distance, 800 services, and VoIP.


(9) Network services include transmission speeds up to OC 192 to carrier and enterprise customers. These services transmit voice, data, image, storage and video, using state-of-the-art fiber optics.


(10) The Company defines modified gross margin as Total Revenue less operating costs excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R. Modified gross margin is reconciled to gross margin in the financial tables.


Financial Measures


The Company provides financial measures using generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as well as adjustments to GAAP measures to describe its business trends, including Modified EBITDA. Management believes that its definition of Modified EBITDA (see above) is a standard measure of operating performance and liquidity that is commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the telecommunications industry because it eliminates many differences in financial, capitalization, and tax structures, as well as non-cash and non-operating income or charges to earnings. Modified EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow, and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Modified EBITDA internally to assess on-going operations and it is the basis for various financial covenants contained in the Company's debt agreements. Modified EBITDA is reconciled to Net Loss, the most comparable GAAP measure to Modified EBITDA, within the Consolidated Operations Highlights and in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website. In addition, management uses unlevered and levered free cash flow, which measure the ability of M-EBITDA to cover capital expenditures. The Company uses these cash flow definitions to eliminate certain non-cash costs. Levered and unlevered free cash flow are reconciled to Net Cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the supplemental information posted on the Company's website.


The Company also provides an adjustment to the measure gross margin by eliminating the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Management uses modified gross margin internally to assess on-going operations. Modified gross margin is reconciled to gross margin in the Consolidated Operations Highlights.
