Frontier Communications Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

• Total third quarter revenue of $1,997 million

• Net loss of $345 million, including a goodwill impairment of $276 million and a loss of $30 million on anticipated sale of operations in four Northwest states

• Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $804 million

• Net broadband unit losses of 71,000

• Liquidity of $683 million as of September 30, 2019

Norwalk, Conn., Nov. 5, 2019 – Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:FTR) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“Third quarter results reflect our ongoing commitment to investing in our assets that have the strongest potential for future growth, while actively managing the parts of the business that are experiencing secular decline,” said Dan McCarthy, President and CEO. “Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $804 million reflects a sequential decline in revenue, an increase in accounts receivable reserves, and increased adjusted operating expenses¹. In Consumer we achieved sequential improvement in broadband trends in fiber markets, with competitive headwinds continuing to impact copper broadband markets. The decline in Commercial revenues was driven primarily by wholesale revenue. While we continue to take action to improve our financial position, we also remain focused on the operational aspects of our business and serving the needs of our residential and business customers.”

¹  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating expenses are non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for a description of this measure and its calculation. See Schedule A on page 12 for a reconciliation to net income/(loss).

Consolidated Results

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $1,997 million, as compared with $2,067 million in the second quarter. Within third quarter consolidated revenue, Consumer revenue was $1,024 million, Commercial revenue was $882 million, and subsidy revenue was $91 million.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $345 million, representing a net loss per common share of $3.31. Net loss included a $276 million goodwill impairment before and after tax resulting in the net goodwill balance being zero at the end of the third quarter. There was also an additional $30 million loss on the anticipated sale of operations and assets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $804 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin² of 40.3%. This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $882 million in the second quarter of 2019. The sequential decline in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the $70 million sequential decline in revenue, which included a $17 million sequential increase in accounts receivable reserves, and an increase in adjusted operating expenses of $8 million.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the third quarter of 2019 was $246 million and operating free cash flow³ was ($72) million. Third quarter interest payments totaling $496 million are considerably larger than second quarter payments of $187 million. For the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided from operating activities⁴ was $1,706 million and operating free cash flow was $563 million.

Consumer Business Highlights

• Revenue of $1,024 million, with the sequential decline driven by customer losses.

• Customer churn of 2.24%, an increase from the second quarter of 2019.

• Consumer fiber broadband net losses were 1,000 and consumer copper broadband net losses were 52,000. Broadband revenue continued to grow as a percentage of Consumer revenue and remains more than 40% of the total. The rate of video services revenue decline increased in the third quarter because of sequential declines in subscribers and advertising revenue. The rate of decline of voice services revenue improved sequentially because of an increase in the USF rate.

• Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPC) of $88.45, a decrease reflecting, in part, ongoing video customer declines.

²  Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure of performance, calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, divided by total revenue. See “Non-GAAP Measures” on page 4 for a description of this measure and its calculation. See Schedule A on page 12 for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss.

³ Operating free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of liquidity derived from net cash provided from operating activities. See “Non-GAAP Measures” on page 4 for a description of this measure and its calculation and Schedule A on page 12 for a reconciliation to net cash provided from operating activities.

⁴  Operating free cash flow for the trailing-four-quarter period ended September 30, 2019 consists of net cash provided from operating activities less capital expenditures of $1,143 million over the same period. Operating free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See note 3 above.

Commercial Business Highlights

• Revenue of $882 million, with the largest portion of the decline in wholesale.

• Total commercial customers of 381,000 compared with 390,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2019.

• Commercial wholesale revenue declined approximately 7% sequentially, driven by a $17 million increase in accounts receivables reserves for wholesale billing disputes and declines in legacy data products and Ethernet. Wireless backhaul declined approximately 2% and continues to represent less than 3% of total company revenue. Wholesale represented approximately half of Commercial revenue in the third quarter.

• Commercial SME revenue declined approximately 1% sequentially. There was a sequential improvement in the decline rate of voice services revenue because of a higher USF billing rate. Voice revenue continued to account for more than half of SME revenue in the third quarter.

Capital Structure

As previously announced, the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors is evaluating Frontier’s capital structure. This includes considering, evaluating and negotiating capital markets and/or financing transactions and/or strategic alternatives. Frontier remains committed to reducing debt and improving its leverage profile.

Developments include the following:

• As of September 30, 2019, Frontier’s leverage ratio⁵ was 4.81:1.

• As of September 30, 2019, the company had total liquidity⁶ of $683 million.

• In the second quarter we entered into a definitive agreement to sell operations and all associated assets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana for $1,352 million in cash at closing subject to certain closing adjustments.

⁵  Leverage ratio is calculated as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four quarters. See Schedule C on page 14 for its calculation.

⁶  Total liquidity as of September 30, 2019 consists of cash and cash equivalents of $683 million, including $749 million borrowings under the revolver.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Frontier uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its performance, including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, operating free cash flow, adjusted operating expenses, and leverage ratio, each of which is described below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to (i) assist in analyzing Frontier’s underlying financial performance from period to period, (ii) analyze and evaluate strategic and operational decisions, (iii) establish criteria for compensation decisions, and (iv) assist in the understanding of Frontier’s ability to generate cash flow and, as a result, to plan for future capital and operational decisions. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Frontier’s financial condition and results of operations because these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures (i) provide a more comprehensive view of Frontier’s core operations and ability to generate cash flow, (ii) provide investors with the financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation, and planning decisions and (iii) present measurements that investors and rating agencies have indicated to management are useful to them in assessing Frontier and its results of operations.

A reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is included in the accompanying tables. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP, nor are they alternatives to GAAP measures and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) less income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, investment and other income (loss), pension settlement costs, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, as described above, adjusted to exclude, certain pension/OPEB expenses, restructuring costs and other charges, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment charges, and certain other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to assist it in comparing performance from period to period and as measures of operational performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors in evaluating Frontier’s operational performance from period to period because they exclude depreciation and amortization expenses related to investments made in prior periods and are determined without regard to capital structure or investment activities. By excluding capital expenditures, debt repayments and dividends, among other factors, these non-GAAP financial measures have certain shortcomings. Management compensates for these shortcomings by utilizing these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Frontier common shareholders is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Frontier common shareholders and excludes, restructuring costs and other charges, pension settlement costs, goodwill impairment charges, certain income tax items and the income tax effect of these items, and certain other non-recurring items. Adjusting for these items allows investors to better understand and analyze Frontier’s financial performance over the periods presented.

- 4 of 14 -

Management defines operating free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided from operating activities less capital expenditures. Management uses operating free cash flow to assist it in comparing liquidity from period to period and to obtain a more comprehensive view of Frontier’s core operations and ability to generate cash flow. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in evaluating cash available to service debt and pay dividends. This non-GAAP financial measure has certain shortcomings; it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, as items such as debt repayments and preferred stock dividends are not deducted in determining such measure. Management compensates for these shortcomings by utilizing this non-GAAP financial measure in conjunction with the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, restructuring and other charges, goodwill impairment charges, certain pension/OPEB expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and certain other non-recurring items. Investors have indicated that this non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating Frontier’s performance.

Leverage ratio is calculated as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four quarters. Investors have indicated that this non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating Frontier’s debt levels.

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in Frontier’s documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
