LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boingo Wireless (NASDAQ: WIFI), the leading distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi provider that serves consumers, carriers and advertisers worldwide, today announced the company’s financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $26.5 million, an increase of 14.3% compared to $23.1 million for the first quarter of 2013.
- Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million, compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined below and is reconciled to net loss attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable measure under GAAP, in the schedule entitled “Reconciliation of Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA.”
Operational Highlights
- An agreement with the Air Force Academy to design, install and manage integrated Wi-Fi and DAS networks at the Falcon Stadium and Cadet Field House, home of the Air Force Falcons’ NCAA Division I sports teams.
- An agreement with Miller Sports Properties to upgrade and manage a multi-carrier neutral host DAS network at EnergySolutions Arena, home of the NBA’s Utah Jazz basketball team and more than 100 sports and entertainment events annually.
- An agreement with the County of Orange to design, install and manage a new neutral host DAS network and upgrade existing Wi-Fi networks at John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Southern California.
- An agreement with the University of Houston to operate as the exclusive wireless network partner – including both DAS and Wi-Fi – for the new Houston Football Stadium, home of the NCAA FBS Houston Cougars.
Management Commentary
“The year is off to a strong start, with Boingo delivering excellent financial performance while also securing major contract wins that will help build the foundation for continued long-term growth,” said David Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Boingo Wireless. “Revenue growth of 14% exceeded expectations and demonstrated the kind of double-digit growth we believe is sustainable now that we’re clear of the industry changes that served as a headwind to growth in 2013.”
Mr. Hagan continued, “We saw significant contributions from all of our strategic initiatives – especially advertising, which delivered triple digit revenue growth for the quarter. DAS also had a record quarter, with venue agreement signings occurring in the first three months of the year worth more than all agreements signed in 2013. And while significant investments in our military broadband deployment suppressed quarterly profitability, we expect subscription revenues to begin to ramp as more networks launch in the second half of the year. The continued emergence of DAS, advertising, and military broadband as key growth drivers will enable us to further diversify our revenue streams that allow us to realize growth across all of our lines of business.”

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 loss attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, income tax expense (benefit), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests and interest and other 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 attributable to common stockholders, 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.
