Boingo Wireless Reports Strong First Quarter 2012 Financial Results


LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)--

Boingo Wireless (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ:WIFI), the world's leading Wi-Fi software and services provider, today announced the company's financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

First Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights

Boingo Wireless reported revenue of $24.2 million, compared to $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 15.0 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA was $8.2 million, compared to $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 62.2 percent. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and reconciled to net income (loss), the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the section entitled "Use of non-GAAP financial measures."

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $148 thousand, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is inclusive of $1.2 million of accretion of convertible preferred stock.

Management Commentary

"2012 is off to a strong start, reinforcing Boingo Wireless' market leading position within the wireless eco-system," said David Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. "Continued growth across both our retail and wholesale businesses drove a significant 62% year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA, highlighting our leverageable infrastructure and high margin, recurring revenue streams. Propelling our profitable growth are the strong network effects and ongoing expansion of our global Wi-Fi platform. Year-to-date, we extended the reach of our domestic managed and operated platform to include new prominent venues: Denver International Airport, Chicago's U.S. Cellular (News - Alert) Field and an agreement with Transit Wireless to manage and operate Wi-Fi networks for the New York City Subway System. Internationally, we are thrilled to expand upon our Asia presence with the addition of Phuket International Airport."

Mr. Hagan continued, "In addition, we have an extremely robust pipeline of prospective venue launches that we expect will contribute meaningfully to our financial and competitive position in the quarters and years to come. We also look forward to continuing to expand our private label and roaming partner relationships, grow our installed base of software and expand our footprint internationally."

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 income (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation, accretion of convertible preferred stock, income taxes, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests expense and interest expense (income), 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) income, 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.
