Frontier Delivers Record Operational Results as it Becomes a Fiber-First Company

Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Financial Results

NORWALK, Conn.--()--Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. (NASDAQ: FYBR) (“Frontier” or the “Company”) reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 results today, delivering record operational results as it becomes a fiber-first company.

“2021 was a year of remarkable transformation reflected in our strong fourth-quarter and full-year results”, said Nick Jeffery, President and Chief Executive Officer of Frontier. “The team rallied around our purpose of Building Gigabit America™ in March and spent the next nine months breaking our own records for building and selling fiber. As we added new fiber customers, we also made service improvements that earned us a positive fiber Net Promoter Score for the first time in the company’s history. In the fourth quarter, we gained momentum and hit an inflection point, reaching positive total broadband net adds for the first time in more than five years.

“The future is fiber, and we are well on our way to becoming a fiber-first company. Yesterday, we became the only major broadband provider to launch 2 Gig fiber service network-wide, extending our leadership position as customers demand faster speeds.”

Full-year 2021 Highlights:

  • Built fiber to approximately 638,000 locations, bringing total fiber passings to 4.0 million by the end of the 2021
  • Added a record 99,000 fiber broadband customer net additions, 75% of which came in the second half of the year, resulting in fiber broadband customer growth of 7.4% from 2020
  • Revenue of $6.41 billion, net income of $4.96 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.48 billion
  • Capital expenditures of $1.70 billion, including $0.46 billion of non-subsidy-related build capital expenditures
  • Began executing on plans to reach at least 10 million locations with fiber by 2025
  • Recruited a new board of directors and management team with deep experience in telecom and turnarounds

Fourth-quarter 2021 Highlights:

  • Built fiber to a record 192,000 locations
  • Added a record 45,000 fiber broadband customer net additions, reaching an inflection point in positive total broadband customer net additions for the first time in more than five years
  • Revenue of $1.54 billion, net income of $189 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $585 million
  • Capital expenditures of $559 million, including $161 million of non-subsidy-related build capital expenditures
  • Delivered record-low churn across both fiber and copper broadband customers
  • Achieved positive fiber Net Promoter Scores for the first time in company history
  • Raised $1 billion of debt to fund fiber build plans

Fourth-quarter 2021 Consolidated Financial Results1

Frontier reported consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 of $1.54 billion, a 6.3% decline from consolidated revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2020, as growth in consumer fiber broadband was offset by declines in video, voice, wholesale, and other. Other revenue was particularly impacted by the sale of our CPE business in the fourth quarter, which resulted in lower revenue but had minimal impact on EBITDA.

Fourth quarter 2021 operating income was $272 million and net income was $189 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $585 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 37.9%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $676 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 41.0% in the fourth quarter of 2020.2 The year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was driven by revenue declines, partially offset by lower video content expense, lower cost of service from lower call and repair volumes, and cost savings initiatives.

Capital expenditures were $559 million, an increase from $356 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, as fiber expansion initiatives accelerated.

Fourth-quarter 2021 Consumer Results

  • Consumer revenue of $782 million, a decline of 5.9% from the fourth quarter of 2020, as strong growth in fiber broadband was offset by declines in legacy video, voice, and other
  • Consumer fiber revenue of $405 million, a decline of 1.6% from the fourth quarter of 2020 as growth in consumer broadband revenue was offset by declines in voice, video, and other
  • Consumer fiber broadband revenue of $245 million, an increase of 10.9% over the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by strong growth in fiber broadband customers and average revenue per customer (ARPU)
  • Consumer fiber broadband customer net additions of 44,000, the 10th consecutive quarter of positive consumer fiber net additions and an almost five-fold increase from 9,000 net additions in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in fiber broadband customer growth of 7.9% from the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Consumer fiber broadband customer churn of 1.32%, an improvement from 1.56% in the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Consumer fiber broadband ARPU of $62.21, an increase of 4.2% over the fourth quarter of 2020, as customers continue to upgrade to faster speeds

Fourth-quarter 2021 Business and Wholesale Results

  • Business and wholesale revenue of $677 million, a decline of 6.0% from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to proactive strategic repositioning with key business partners to reset pricing in exchange for higher win shares in the future, and higher overall expected cash flow stability
  • Business and wholesale fiber revenue of $270 million, a decline of 1.1% from the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Business fiber broadband customer churn of 1.23%, an improvement from 1.43% in the fourth quarter of 2020
  • Business fiber broadband ARPU of $106.87, an increase of 5.2% from the fourth quarter of 2020

Capital Structure

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Frontier successfully raised $1.0 billion of 6.000% second lien secured debt. As of the end of 2021, Frontier had total liquidity of approximately $2.6 billion, including a cash balance of approximately $2.1 billion and $0.5 billion of available borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility. Frontier’s net leverage ratio for the four quarters ended December 31, 2021, was approximately 2.4x.3 Frontier has no long-term debt maturities prior to 2027.

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 net 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, losses on extinguishment of debt, reorganization items, 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, 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, reorganization items, 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.

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, and certain other non-recurring items. Investors have indicated that this non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating Frontier’s performance.

Net 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.

the effects of increased medical expenses and pension and postemployment expenses; changes in pension plan assumptions, interest rates, discount rates, regulatory rules and/or the value of our pension plan assets; the likelihood that our historical financial information may no longer be indicative of our future performance and our implementation of fresh start accounting; the impact of adverse changes in economic, political and market conditions in the areas that we serve, the U.S. and globally, including, but not limited to, disruption in our supply chain, inflation in pricing for key materials or labor, or other adverse changes resulting from epidemics, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases, including the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, economic or political instability or other adverse public health developments; potential adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, including potential disruptions to the work of our employees arising from health and safety measures such as social distancing, working remotely and recent applicable federal, state, and local mandates, and prohibitions, our ability to effectively manage increased demand on our network, our ability to maintain relationships with our current or prospective customers and vendors as well as their abilities to perform under current or proposed arrangements with us; risks associated with our emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, including, but not limited to, the continuing effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on us and our relationships with our suppliers, customers, service providers or employees and changes in the composition of our board of directors and senior management; volatility in the trading price of our common stock, which has a limited trading history; substantial market overhang from the common stock issued in the Chapter 11 reorganization; certain provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation that may prevent efforts by our stockholders to change the direction or management of our Company;

You should consider these important factors, as well as the risks and other factors contained in Frontier’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in such forward-looking statements. We do not intend, nor do we undertake any duty, to update any forward-looking statements.


1 Prior year comparisons are adjusted for the disposal of Northwest Operations. See Schedule C and Schedule E for a reconciliation of reported results to the results adjusted for the disposal of Northwest Operations. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, Frontier adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC 852. As a result, Frontier’s consolidated financial statements after April 30, 2021 are not comparable to prior periods. All year-over-year comparisons in this release have been normalized to reflect the impact of fresh start accounting. See Frontier’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2021, for further details on the impact of fresh start accounting. See Frontier’s supplemental trending information, available at www.frontier.com/ir, for information setting forth the impact of fresh start accounting for periods presented.

2 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures of performance, See “Non-GAAP Measures” for a description of these measures and its calculation. See Schedule A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss).

3 Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Measures” and the condensed consolidated balance sheet data contained herein for a description and calculation of net leverage ratio.

Note: The following results are reported separately for the four months ended April 30, 2021 (our Predecessor period prior to emergence) and for the eight months ended December 31, 2021 (our Successor period). While the basis of accounting for the Predecessor and Successor are different as a result of the application of fresh start accounting, we have calculated combined Non-GAAP results for the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, the following financial information presents disaggregation of revenue for the operations located in the remaining 25 states (“Remaining Properties”) after excluding the Northwest Operations (“Northwest Ops”) through the date of sale from the Consolidated Company's results. See Schedule C for a reconciliation to the Total Company Results.

The following table presents Non-GAAP measures for the operations located in the remaining 25 states (“Remaining Properties”) after excluding the Northwest Operations (“Northwest Ops”) through the date of sale from the consolidated Company's results.
