“The second quarter once again saw solid performances from each of our businesses,” said Elliot Noss, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Tucows Inc. “The domains business delivered consistent results outside of the expected in quarter impact of the
transfer of 2.65 million very low margin names in the first quarter of this year. Ting Mobile delivered increases in year-over-year
revenue and margin as we work towards the next phase of customer growth. Finally, Ting Internet continued its steady progress
from network builds and expansions across the footprint to serviceable addresses, to subscriber activations, to dependable
recurring monthly revenue.”
Financial Results
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $81.1 million compared to $84.2 million for the second quarter of 2017, with the
decrease due primarily to the bulk transfer of 2.65 million very low margin domain names during the first quarter of 2018, which
was partially offset by the continued growth of Ting Mobile.
Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $3.6 million, or $0.34 per share, down from $5.2 million, or $0.50 per share, for
the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the second quarter of 2018 includes acquisition and transaction costs of $0.8
million related to geographic headcount and operational alignments.
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2018 increased 8% to $11.2 million from $10.4 million for the second
quarter of 2017.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2018 was $11.2 million compared with $16.6 million at the end of
the first quarter of 2018 and $15.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017.
Notes:
1. Adjusted EBITDA
Tucows reports all financial information required in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). Along with this information, to assist financial statement users in an assessment of our historical performance, the
Company typically discloses and discusses a non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted EBITDA, in press releases and on investor
conference calls and related events that exclude certain non-cash and other charges as the Company believes that the non-GAAP
information enhances investors' overall understanding of our financial performance.
The Company believes that the provision of this supplemental non-GAAP measure allows investors to evaluate the operational and
financial performance of the Company’s core business using similar evaluation measures to those used by management. The Company
uses adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance and prepare its budgets. Since adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial
performance measure, the Company’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense
and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be
considered as a liquidity measure. Non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may differ
from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ
from period to period. The Company endeavors to compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items
excluded in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA to net income based on U.S. GAAP, which should be considered when evaluating the
Company's results. Tucows strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely
on a single financial measure.
The Company’s adjusted EBITDA definition excludes depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, income tax provision,
interest expense, interest income, stock-based compensation, asset impairment, gains and losses from unrealized foreign currency
transactions and infrequently occurring items, including acquisition and transitions costs. Gains and losses from unrealized
foreign currency transactions removes the unrealized effect of the change in the mark-to-market values on outstanding unhedged
foreign currency contracts, as well as the unrealized effect from the translation of monetary accounts denominated in non-U.S.
dollars to U.S. dollars.
