CINCINNATI, Ohio – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE:CBB) today announced third quarter results for 2013 and raised its 2013 full-year Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance range to $400 - $410 million. Excluding the results of CyrusOne, the company’s former data center segment, Cincinnati Bell generated year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA totaling $317 million.
The company reported record Fioptics net activations for the second consecutive quarter, adding 6,500 new entertainment subscribers and 7,500 high-speed internet subscribers. Cincinnati Bell passed 53,000 addresses with Fioptics during the first three quarters of 2013 and was able to maintain a 29 percent customer penetration rate. The company is now able to provide its Fioptics suite of services to approximately 32 percent of Greater Cincinnati.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $311 million, down $2 million from the prior year after excluding the data center segment results. Operating income totaled $58 million, up $3 million from the prior year after excluding CyrusOne. Net income of $9 million in the quarter resulted in diluted earnings per share of 3 cents.
On January 24, 2013, the company successfully completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of CyrusOne and its consolidated year-to-date results for 2013 include the results of that business up to the IPO date. Year-to-date revenue for 2013 was $949 million, operating income was $124 million, and net income excluding special items2 totaled $23 million. Excluding the data center segment results, Cincinnati Bell generated revenue of $933 million, down $7 million from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding the data center business was $317 million, and includes a gain of $7 million associated with mark-to-market adjustments on compensation plans indexed to the company’s stock price.
“Customer demand for Fioptics continues to surpass our already high expectations. We again set an all-time high for Fioptics net activations, and we are starting to experience year-over-year growth from our Wireline consumer market,” said Ted Torbeck, president and chief executive officer. “The impressive growth from our strategic fiber-based investments confirms our ability to grow Wireline revenue in 2014, a key milestone in our strategy to create a fiber-based growth company capable of producing significant and sustainable free cash flows.”
SEGMENT RESULTS
Wireline Segment
Wireline revenue was $181 million for the quarter compared to $182 million in the third quarter of 2012, as the growth from Fioptics and fiber-based business solutions continues to increasingly mitigate the impact of access line losses. For the quarter, operating income was $48 million, down from $51 million in the same period of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA declined by $1 million year-over-year to $83 million, primarily driven by the continued loss of higher margin access lines. Adjusted EBITDA margin3 in the quarter was 45 percent compared to 46 percent in the third quarter of 2012.
Access line loss of 7.6 percent in the third quarter of 2013 was slightly improved compared to the 7.8 percent loss in the prior year.
Wireless Segment
Wireless revenue was $49 million for the quarter, a decrease of 17 percent from the third quarter of 2012. Wireless operating income was $7 million in the third quarter compared to $13 million in the prior year. The segment’s Adjusted EBITDA of $14 million in the quarter resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29 percent as the loss of postpaid subscribers continues to have a negative impact on Wireless revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
At September 30, 2013, total wireless subscribers were 355,000 compared to 416,000 at the end of the third quarter in 2012.
IT Services and Hardware Segment
Revenue was $88 million for the quarter, up 12 percent from $78 million in the third quarter of 2012. Hardware sales were up 14 percent and managed and professional services revenue was up 9 percent compared to a year ago. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was $7 million, an increase of $1 million from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8 percent for the quarter was comparable to the third quarter in 2012.
“Our year-to-date 2013 results have been outstanding, and we are pleased to raise our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range,” said Leigh Fox, chief financial officer. “In addition to the strong financial results, our recent refinancing provides us increased financial flexibility and is expected to reduce annual interest payments by approximately $20 million next year.”
Investment in CyrusOne
The company continues to effectively own 69 percent of CyrusOne, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. As of September 30, 2013, the company’s investment in CyrusOne was valued at approximately $845 million. CyrusOne reported revenue of $68 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $37 million for the third quarter of 2013. Data center colocation space totaled 992,000 square feet at September 30, 2013, of which 85 percent was utilized.
2013 Outlook
Cincinnati Bell increased its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2013 to reflect strong year-to-date results. The following guidance excludes the results of the former data center segment:
| Category | Original 2013 Guidance | Revised 2013 Guidance |
| Revenue | $1.2 billion | $1.2 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA | Approx. $390 million* | $400 - $410 million |
*Plus or minus 2 percent

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt, net income excluding special items, and free cash flow. These are non-GAAP financial measures used by Cincinnati Bell management when evaluating results of operations and cash flow. Management believes these measures also provide users of the financial statements with additional and useful comparisons of current results of operations and cash flows with past and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. Detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures have been included in the tables distributed with this release and are available in the Investor Relations section of www.cincinnatibell.com.
1Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of operational performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP operating income plus depreciation, amortization, transaction-related compensation, restructuring charges, (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets, transaction costs, curtailment gain, asset impairments, components of pension and other retirement plan costs (including interest costs, asset returns, and amortization of actuarial gains and losses), and other special items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.
CyrusOne defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before noncontrolling interests as defined by U.S. GAAP plus interest expense, other income, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, legal claim costs, transaction costs and transaction-related compensation, including acquisition pursuit costs, loss on sale of receivables to affiliate, non-cash compensation, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, (gain) loss on sale of real estate improvements, and other special items. Other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as CyrusOne. Accordingly, CyrusOne's Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to others. Detailed reconciliations of CyrusOne's Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measure are available in the Investor Relations section of www.cyrusone.com.
2Net income excluding special items in total and per share provides a useful measure of operating performance. Net income excluding special items should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with net income excluding special items as defined by other companies.
3Adjusted EBITDA margin provides a useful measure of operational performance. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of profitability and may not be comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.
Free cash flow provides a useful measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health. The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by (used in) operating, financing and investing activities, adjusted for the issuance and repayment of debt, debt issuance costs, the repurchase of common stock, and the proceeds from the sale or the use of funds from the purchase of business operations, including transaction costs. Free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow from operating activities, or the change in cash on the balance sheet and may not be comparable with free cash flow as defined by other companies. Although the company feels that there is no comparable GAAP measure for free cash flow, the attached financial information reconciles free cash flow to the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents.
Net debt provides a useful measure of liquidity and financial health. The company defines net debt as the sum of the face amount of short-term and long-term debt and unamortized premium and/or discount, offset by cash and cash equivalents. Net debt should not be considered as an alternative to comparable GAAP measures of liquidity and may not be comparable with the measure as defined by other companies.
