  • Net income was $68.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 1.1% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $180.4 million, an increase of 14.4% year-over-year. Net profit margin was 20.1% and Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was 52.9%.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $164.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 38.4% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures(1) was $108.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $93.0 million in the first quarter of 2020.
  • Residential data primary service units (“PSUs”) grew by approximately 22,000, or 2.8%, sequentially. Residential data PSUs grew by approximately 86,000, or 12.0%, year-over-year, which excludes approximately 17,000 prior year residential data PSUs from the Anniston System that were contributed to Hargray and includes approximately 5,000 residential data PSUs acquired in the Valu-Net acquisition.

  • In March 2021, the Company completed a private offering (the “Convertible Notes Offering”) of $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.000% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% convertible senior notes due 2028 (together with the 2026 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”).

  • On May 3, 2021, the Company completed the Hargray Acquisition, which represented the purchase of approximately 85% of Hargray on a fully diluted basis. The transaction implied a $2.2 billion total enterprise value for 100% of Hargray on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The Company financed the Hargray Acquisition with cash on hand and proceeds from indebtedness, including the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering and the Term Loan B-4.

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results Compared to First Quarter 2020

Revenues increased $20.1 million, or 6.2%, to $341.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, including $3.2 million from Valu-Net operations. The remaining increase was driven primarily by organic residential data and business services revenue growth, partially offset by decreases in organic residential video and residential voice revenues. For the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, residential data revenues comprised 53.8% and 48.3% of total revenues, respectively, and business services revenues comprised 17.7% and 18.0% of total revenues, respectively.

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) were $101.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 and decreased $4.5 million, or 4.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to a $6.0 million reduction in programming expenses, partially offset by $1.2 million of additional expenses related to Valu-Net operations. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 29.7% and 33.0% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $69.0 million and $62.9 million for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increases of $2.4 million in acquisition-related costs, $1.8 million in health insurance costs, $1.7 million in labor and other compensation-related costs and $1.0 million in system conversion costs, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in bad debt expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 20.2% and 19.6% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $68.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 and increased $3.3 million, or 5.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues was 20.1% and 20.3% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest expense increased $4.9 million, or 26.3%, to $23.6 million, driven primarily by higher interest rate swap settlement expense and additional outstanding debt, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Other income, net, of $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2021 consisted primarily of a $5.6 million non-cash gain on fair value adjustment associated with the call and put options to acquire the remaining equity interests in Mega Broadband Investments Holdings LLC and $3.2 million of investment and interest income, partially offset by $0.7 million of financing cost write-offs. Other income, net, of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2020 consisted of interest and investment income.

Income tax provision was $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 and increased $11.3 million, or 174.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.4% and 8.5% for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increases in the income tax provision and the effective tax rate were due primarily to $7.0 million of income tax benefits attributable to the net operating loss carryback provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act from the first quarter of 2020 that did not recur.

Net income was $68.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $69.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $180.4 million and $157.7 million for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 14.4%. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $71.9 million compared to $64.8 million for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2021 was $108.5 million compared to $93.0 million in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2021, the Company had $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $574.9 million at December 31, 2020. The Company’s debt balance was $3.1 billion and $2.2 billion at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company had $459.0 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2021.

The Company paid $15.1 million in dividends to stockholders during the first quarter of 2021.

In March 2021, the Company completed the Convertible Notes Offering and received net proceeds of $895.2 million, after deducting initial purchaser discounts and other offering costs and expenses. In May 2021, the Company also obtained the Term Loan B-4. The Company used cash on hand and proceeds from indebtedness, including the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes Offering and the Term Loan B-4, to finance the Hargray Acquisition.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the “First Quarter 2021 Form 10-Q”), which will be posted on the “SEC Filings” section of the Cable One Investor Relations website at ir.cableone.net when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors and others interested in more information about Cable One should consult the Company’s website, which is regularly updated with financial and other important information about the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income, net profit margin, net cash provided by operating activities or capital expenditures as a percentage of net income reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are reconciled to net income, Adjusted EBITDA margin is reconciled to net profit margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to capital expenditures as a percentage of net income. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. These reconciliations are included in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, (gain) loss on deferred compensation, acquisition-related costs, (gain) loss on asset sales and disposals, system conversion costs, rebranding costs, equity method investment (income) loss, other (income) expense and other unusual items, as provided in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s business as well as other non-cash or special items and is unaffected by the Company’s capital structure or investment activities. This measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the Company’s cash cost of debt financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

“Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

“Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures,” when used as a liquidity measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the impact of capital expenditures, interest expense, income tax provision, changes in operating assets and liabilities, change in deferred income taxes and other unusual items, as provided in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release.

“Capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as capital expenditures divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its performance, and it also uses Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures as an indicator of its ability to fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the measure used in the leverage ratio calculations under the Company’s credit agreement and the indenture governing the Company’s non-convertible senior unsecured notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement and the ability to take certain actions under the indenture governing the non-convertible senior unsecured notes. Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures are also significant performance measures used by the Company in its annual incentive compensation program. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account cash used for mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures, and thus does not represent residual funds available for discretionary uses.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is useful to investors as it shows the Company’s performance while taking into account cash outflows for capital expenditures and is one of several indicators of the Company’s ability to service debt, make investments and/or return capital to its stockholders.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures with similar titles are common measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in the Company’s industry, although the Company’s measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Note: All totals, percentages and year-over-year changes are calculated using exact numbers. Minor differences may exist due to rounding.

(1)

Average monthly revenue per unit (“ARPU”) values represent the applicable quarterly residential service revenues (excluding installation and activation fees) divided by the corresponding average of the number of PSUs at the beginning and end of each period, divided by three, except that for any PSUs added or subtracted as a result of an acquisition or divestiture occurring during the period, the associated ARPU values represent the applicable residential service revenues (excluding installation and activation fees) divided by the pro-rated average number of PSUs during such period.

(2)

ARPU values represent quarterly business services revenues divided by the average of the number of business customer relationships at the beginning and end of each period, divided by three, except that for any business customer relationships added or subtracted as a result of an acquisition or divestiture occurring during the period, the associated ARPU values represent business services revenues divided by the pro-rated average number of business customer relationships during such period.
