Third Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights Boingo Wireless reported revenue of $26.0 million, compared to $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 5.4 percent.

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. This is compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.


Adjusted EBITDA was $8.4 million, compared to $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 2.5 percent.

Management Commentary "Boingo's third quarter financial performance was in-line to ahead of our expectations and demonstrates continued progress against our strategic growth initiatives," said David Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. "Benefitting from the acquisition of Cloud Nine Media, we saw strong growth in sponsorship revenue during the quarter and are optimistic about the long-term prospects for this revenue stream. At the same time, we expanded our network footprint to over 550,000 global hotspots, which include significant new roaming partnerships and M&O network additions." Mr. Hagan continued, "Core to our investment thesis is the continued exponential growth in mobile data and the opportunity this growth creates for carriers to offload traffic from their cellular networks onto our Wi-Fi network. As such, we are very pleased to announce that we signed a U.S. based tier 1 carrier to a global roaming contract subsequent to quarter-end."

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.
