Gogo Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2016 Financial Results

 

    Record quarterly revenue of $160 million and full year revenue of $597 million

 

    Expects positive free cash flow in 2019, a year earlier than previous guidance

 

    Increases guidance for 2017 2Ku installs by 100 aircraft to range between 450 and 550

 

    Installed or upgraded more than 1,100 commercial aircraft in 2016

 

    Won awards for approximately 1,000 2Ku commercial aircraft in 2016, bringing total 2Ku awards to 1,500

Chicago, Ill., February 27, 2017 – Gogo Inc. (Nasdaq: GOGO), the leading global provider of in-flight broadband connectivity and connectivity-enabled services to commercial and business aviation, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Consolidated Financial Results

 

    Revenue increased to $160.0 million, up 16% from Q4 2015. Service revenue increased to $138.9 million, up 20% from Q4 2015, driven by a 14% increase in commercial aircraft online to 2,943, a 20% increase in ATG business aircraft online to 4,172, and increased customer usage across all segments.

 

    Net loss decreased to $26.9 million, an improvement from a loss of $33.9 million in Q4 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased to a record $23.1 million, up 187% from Q4 2015.

 

    Capital expenditures increased to $48.2 million from $35.4 million in Q4 2015 and Cash CapEx(1) increased to $33.5 million from $13.3 million in Q4 2015, primarily due to increased airborne equipment purchases for 2Ku installations.

 

    Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $455.8 million as of December 31, 2016. Gogo issued an additional $65.0 million of senior secured notes on January 3, 2017 for gross proceeds of $70.2 million.

“2Ku performance demonstrates industry leading speed, coverage, and service availability, and we now have more than 130 2Ku aircraft installed. We are increasing 2Ku installation guidance to 450 to 550 aircraft in 2017 and 650 to 750 in 2018,” said Michael Small, Gogo’s President and CEO. “2Ku is transformative for global aviation. With speeds exceeding 100 Mbps, it brings a streaming class connectivity experience to everyone on the plane.”

“With accelerated 2Ku installations and improved operating leverage, we now expect to become free cash flow positive in 2019, a year earlier than our prior guidance,” said Gogo’s Executive Vice President and CFO, Norman Smagley.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Business Segment Financial Results

Commercial Aviation - North America (CA-NA)

 

    Total revenue increased to $101.1 million, up 20% from Q4 2015, driven primarily by an increase in aircraft online.

 

    Aircraft online increased to 2,676, up 47 aircraft from September 30, 2016, and included 59 2Ku and more than 1,700 ATG-4 equipped aircraft. As of December 31, 2016, CA-NA had approximately 850 aircraft awarded for installation or conversion to 2Ku, 60 of which are net new aircraft.

 

    Average monthly service revenue per aircraft equivalent, or ARPA, was $11,780, up 2% from Q4 2015. However, ARPA increased by approximately 8% year over year when adjusted to exclude regional jets and aircraft operated by new airline partners that have been added since 2015.


    Segment profit increased to $24.9 million, up 171% from Q4 2015. Segment profit as a percentage of segment revenue rose to 25% in Q4 2016, up from 11% in Q4 2015. Excluding the timing of certain non-cash accruals, the segment’s profit margin would have been approximately 20%.

Business Aviation (BA)

 

    Service revenue increased to $36.4 million, up 28% from Q4 2015, driven primarily by a 20% increase in ATG systems online and a 7% increase in average monthly service revenue per ATG unit online. Service revenue accounted for 71% of the segment’s total revenue in Q4 2016.

 

    Equipment revenue decreased to $15.1 million, down $6.0 million from Q4 2015, driven by the deferral of $2.7 million of GogoBiz equipment revenue, which is expected to be recognized starting in the second quarter of 2017 as 4G units are shipped, and weaker general market conditions.

 

    Total segment revenue increased to $51.5 million, up 4% from Q4 2015.

 

    Segment profit increased to $23.0 million, up 19% from Q4 2015. Segment profit as a percentage of segment revenue was 45% in Q4 2016, up from 39% in Q4 2015, driven primarily by an increased mix of higher margin service revenue and lower engineering, design and development expenses.

Commercial Aviation - Rest of World (CA-ROW)

 

    Total revenue increased to $7.4 million, up 76% from Q4 2015, driven primarily by an increase in aircraft online and higher revenue per aircraft.

 

    Aircraft online increased to 267, up 65 aircraft from Q4 2015. CA-ROW had approximately 560 net new 2Ku awarded but not yet installed aircraft as of December 31, 2016.

 

    ARPA increased to $14,372, up 17% from Q4 2015, driven primarily by increased airline-paid passenger usage.

 

    Segment loss increased to $24.7 million from $20.2 million in Q4 2015, primarily due to higher engineering, design and development expenses related to the roll out of 2Ku and increased satellite capacity costs in advance of new airline partner launches.

Full Year 2016 Consolidated Financial and Operating Results

 

    Gogo brought more than 350 commercial aircraft and nearly 700 ATG business aircraft online in 2016.

 

    As of December 31, 2016, Gogo Vision, our wireless in-flight entertainment service, was installed on more than 2,500 aircraft.

 

    Revenue increased to $596.6 million, up 19% from $500.9 million in 2015. Service revenue increased to $514.3 million, up 22% from $420.0 million in 2015.

 

    CA-NA revenue increased to $371.5 million, up 20% from $310.7 million in 2015.

 

    BA revenue increased to $199.6 million, up 12% from $178.7 million in 2015.

 

    CA-ROW revenue increased to $25.4 million, up 119% from $11.6 million in 2015.

 

    Net loss increased to $124.5 million, up 16% from 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $67.2 million, up 83% from $36.8 million in 2015.

 

    Capital expenditures increased to $176.9 million from $153.1 million in 2015. Cash CapEx increased to $133.1 million, up 66% from $80 million in 2015, primarily due to increased airborne equipment purchases for 2Ku installations.

Business Outlook

For the full year ending December 31, 2017, Gogo is providing the following guidance:

 

    Total revenue of $670 million to $695 million, growth of 12% to 17% from 2016

 

    CA-NA revenue of $405 million to $425 million

 

    BA revenue of $220 million to $230 million

 

    CA-ROW revenue of $40 million to $50 million

 

    Adjusted EBITDA1 of $60 million to $75 million, including $50 million of expenses for the launch of new international airlines and the development of our next generation ATG technology.

 

    2Ku installations of 450 to 550 aircraft, including approximately 150 aircraft in CA-ROW.

 

    Capital expenditures of $290 million to $330 million and Cash CapEx of $230 million to $260 million.

 

    The increase in capital expenditures and Cash CapEx versus prior 2017 guidance is due to additional equipment purchases for accelerated 2Ku installations and next generation ATG network expenditures.


For the full year ending December 31, 2018, Gogo is providing the following guidance:

 

    2Ku installations of 650 to 750 aircraft, including approximately 300 aircraft in CA-ROW.

 

    A significant decline in cash needs compared to 2017 due to a substantial decline in Gogo’s average investment per 2Ku installation and a significant increase in consolidated adjusted EBITDA.

 

    Capital expenditures of $110 million to $170 million and Cash CapEx of $70 million to $120 million. The decrease in capital expenditures and Cash CapEx versus prior 2018 guidance reflects an estimate that 70% to 80% of 2018 2Ku equipment transactions will be under our airline directed business model, which will be accounted for as equipment revenue and cost of goods sold, rather than as capital expenditures and deferred airborne leasing proceeds.

 

    Excluding the impact of the expected shift to the airline directed business model, Cash CapEx guidance for 2018 would be $20 million to $30 million lower than previous guidance, driven by reductions in the cost of 2Ku equipment.

Gogo is providing guidance that it expects to be Free Cash Flow positive in 2019. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities net of capital expenditures.

 

  (1) See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below

Conference Call

The fourth quarter conference call will be held on February 27th, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the conference call, as well as a replay, will be available online on the Investor Relations section of the company’s website at http://ir.gogoair.com. Participants can also access the call by dialing (844) 464-3940 (within the United States and Canada) or (765) 507-2646 (international dialers) and entering conference ID number 53599897.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CapEx in the supplemental tables below. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CapEx for business planning purposes, including managing our business against internally projected results of operations and measuring our performance and liquidity. These supplemental performance measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CapEx are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance with Adjusted EBITDA or liquidity with Cash CapEx, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to net loss attributable to common stock, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net loss attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Cash CapEx in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated capital expenditures when evaluating our liquidity. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2017 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, we are not able to provide a reconciliation for the forecasted range of Adjusted EBITDA due to variability in the timing of aircraft installations and deinstallations impacting depreciation expense and amortization of deferred airborne leasing proceeds.

our use of open source software and licenses; the effects of service interruptions or delays, technology failures and equipment failures or malfunctions arising from defects or errors in our software or defects in or damage to our equipment; the limited operating history of our CA-ROW segment; our ability to transition from the retail model to the airline-directed model in CA and changes in contracts with our airline partners that may arise in connection with such transition; increases in our projected capital expenditures due to, among other things, unexpected costs incurred in connection with the roll-out of our technology roadmap or our international expansion; compliance with U.S. and foreign government regulations and standards, including those related to regulation of the Internet, including e-commerce or online video distribution changes, and the installation and operation of satellite equipment and our ability to obtain and maintain all necessary regulatory approvals to install and operate our equipment in the United States and foreign jurisdictions; our, or our technology suppliers’, inability to effectively innovate; costs associated with defending pending or future intellectual property infringement and other litigation or claims; our ability to protect our intellectual property; breaches of the security of our information technology network, resulting in unauthorized access to credit card information or other personal information of the users of our services; any negative outcome or effects of pending or future litigation; our substantial debt, limitations and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness and our ability to service our indebtedness; our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all; fluctuations in our operating results; our ability to attract and retain customers and to capitalize on revenue from our platform; the demand for and market acceptance of our products and services; changes or developments in the regulations that apply to us, our business and our industry; the attraction and retention of qualified employees, including key personnel; our ability to manage our growth in a cost-effective manner and integrate and manage acquisitions; compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the (U.K.) Bribery Act 2010; restrictions on the ability of U.S. companies to do business in foreign countries, including, among others, restrictions imposed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable.

    Aircraft online. We define aircraft online as the total number of commercial aircraft on which our equipment is installed and service has been made commercially available as of the last day of each period presented. We assign aircraft to CA-NA or CA-ROW at the time of contract signing as follows: (i) all aircraft operated by North American airlines and under contract for ATG or ATG-4 service are assigned to CA-NA, (ii) all aircraft operated by North American airlines and under a contract for satellite service are assigned to CA-NA or CA-ROW based on whether the routes flown by such aircraft under the contract are anticipated to be predominantly within or outside of North America at the time the contract is signed, and (iii) all aircraft operated by non-North American airlines and under contract are assigned to CA-ROW.

 

    Aircraft equivalents. We define aircraft equivalents for a segment as the total number of commercial aircraft online (as defined above) multiplied by the percentage of flights flown within the scope of that segment, rounded to the nearest whole aircraft and expressed as an average of the month end figures for each month in such period. This methodology takes into account the fact that during a particular period certain aircraft may fly routes outside the scope of the segment to which they are assigned for purposes of the calculation of aircraft online.

 

    Average monthly service revenue per aircraft equivalent (“ARPA”). We define ARPA for a segment as the aggregate service revenue plus monthly service fees included as a reduction to cost of service revenue for that segment for the period divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the number of aircraft equivalents (as defined above) for that segment during the period. Prior to 2016, aircraft online was used as the denominator to calculate ARPA. Beginning in 2016, ARPA is calculated by using aircraft equivalents as the denominator. We believe the revised ARPA methodology more accurately reflects ARPA by segment because it better reflects the number of aircraft that actually generated the revenue while flying within the scope of each segment during a specific period. ARPA for the CA-NA segment during the three months and year ended December 31, 2015, were originally reported as $11,721 and $11,387, respectively, and have been revised to $11,780 and $11,304, respectively, to reflect the change in methodology.

 

   

Gross passenger opportunity (“GPO”). We define GPO as the aggregate number of passengers who board commercial aircraft on which Gogo service has been available during the period presented. When available directly from our airline partners, we aggregate actual passenger counts across flights on Gogo-equipped aircraft. When not available directly from our airline partners, we estimate GPO. Estimated GPO is calculated by first estimating the number of flights occurring on each Gogo-equipped aircraft, then multiplying by the number of seats on that aircraft, and finally multiplying by a seat factor that is determined from historical information provided to us in arrears by our airline partners. The estimated number of flights is derived from real-time flight information provided to our


 

front-end systems by Air Radio Inc. (ARINC), direct airline feeds and supplementary third-party data sources. These aircraft-level estimates are then aggregated with actual airline-provided passenger counts to obtain total GPO.

 

    Total average revenue per session (“ARPS”). We define ARPS as revenue from Passenger Connectivity, excluding non-session related revenue, divided by the total number of sessions during the period. A session, or a “use” of Passenger Connectivity, is defined as the use by a unique passenger of Passenger Connectivity on a flight segment. Multiple logins or purchases under the same user name during one flight segment count as only one session.

 

    Connectivity take rate. We define connectivity take rate as the number of sessions during the period expressed as a percentage of GPO. Included in our connectivity take-rate calculation are sessions for which we did not receive revenue, including those provided pursuant to free promotional campaigns and, to a lesser extent, as a result of complimentary passes distributed by our customer service representatives for unforeseen technical issues. For the periods listed above, the number of sessions for which we did not receive revenue was not material.

    ATG aircraft online. We define ATG aircraft online as the total number of business aircraft for which we provide ATG services as of the last day of each period presented.

 

    Average monthly service revenue per satellite aircraft online. We define average monthly service revenue per satellite aircraft online as the aggregate satellite service revenue for the period divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the number of satellite aircraft online during the period (expressed as an average of the month end figures for each month in such period).

 

    Average monthly service revenue per ATG aircraft online. We define average monthly service revenue per ATG aircraft online as the aggregate ATG service revenue for the period divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the number of ATG aircraft online during the period (expressed as an average of the month end figures for each month in such period).

 

    Units sold. We define units sold as the number of satellite or ATG units for which we recognized revenue during the period. The total number of ATG units shipped was 808 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared with 923 for the prior year. Due to the commencement of a new sales program and resulting orders, we deferred the recognition of 71 ATG units shipped for the year ended December 31, 2016, as not all revenue recognition criteria were met. We had no such deferrals on our ATG unit shipments for the year ended December 31, 2015 or in any period on satellite equipment shipments.

 

    Average equipment revenue per satellite unit sold. We define average equipment revenue per satellite unit sold as the aggregate equipment revenue earned from all satellite units sold during the period, divided by the number of satellite units sold.

 

    Average equipment revenue per ATG unit sold. We define average equipment revenue per ATG unit sold as the aggregate equipment revenue from all ATG units sold during the period, divided by the number of ATG units sold.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to common stock before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization of other intangible assets.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt and (iv) adjustment to deferred financing costs. Our management believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that, management believes, have less bearing on our operating performance, thereby highlighting trends in our core business which may not otherwise be apparent. It also provides an assessment of controllable expenses, which are indicators management uses to determine whether current spending decisions need to be adjusted in order to meet financial goals and achieve optimal financial performance.

We believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense from Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate given the significant variation in expense that can result from using option pricing models to determine the fair value of such compensation. The fair value of our stock options is determined using option pricing models and varies based on fluctuations in the assumptions used in the models, including inputs that are not necessarily directly related to the performance of our business, such as the expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the options. Therefore, we believe the exclusion of this cost provides a clearer view of the operating performance of our business. Further, stock option grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time. While we believe that investors should have information about any dilutive effect of outstanding options and the cost of that compensation, we also believe that stockholders should have the ability to consider our performance using a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these costs and that management uses to evaluate our business.

We believe the exclusion of the amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives from Adjusted EBITDA is useful as it allows an investor to view operating performance across time periods in a manner consistent with how management measures segment profit and loss (see Note 10, “Business Segments and Major Customers,” for a description of segment profit (loss) in our consolidated financial statements). Management evaluates segment profit and loss in this manner, excluding the amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives, because such presentation reflects operating decisions and activities from the current period, without regard to the prior period decision or the form of connectivity agreements. See “—Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations—Cost of Service Revenue—Commercial Aviation North America and Rest of World” for a discussion of the accounting treatment of deferred airborne lease incentives.

We believe it is useful to an understanding of our operating performance to exclude the loss on extinguishment of debt and adjustment to deferred financing costs from Adjusted EBITDA because of the non-recurring nature of these charges.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides investors, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management.

Cash CapEx represents capital expenditures net of airborne equipment proceeds received from the airlines and incentives paid to us by landlords under certain facilities leases. We believe Cash CapEx provides a more representative indication of our liquidity requirements with respect to capital expenditures, as under certain agreements with our airline partners, we are reimbursed for all or a substantial portion of the cost of our airborne equipment, thereby reducing our cash capital requirements.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Most forward-looking statements contain words that identify them as forward-looking, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms that relate to future events. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Gogo’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any projected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent the beliefs and assumptions of Gogo only as of the date of this presentation and Gogo undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. As such, Gogo’s future results may vary from any expectations or goals expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, possibly to a material degree. Gogo cannot assure you that the assumptions made in preparing any of the forward-looking statements will prove accurate or that any long-term financial or operational goals and targets will be realized. In particular, the availability and performance of certain technology solutions yet to be implemented by the Company set forth in this presentation represent aspirational long-term goals based on current expectations. For a discussion of some of the important factors that could cause Gogo’s results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, investors should refer to the disclosures contained under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Note to Certain Operating and Financial Data In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Gogo also discloses in this presentation certain non-GAAP financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Cash CAPEX. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net loss attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (ii) use Cash CAPEX in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated capital expenditures when evaluating our liquidity. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CAPEX to the comparable GAAP measure. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2017 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the respective corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, we are not able to provide a reconciliation for the forecasted range of Adjusted EBITDA for 2017 due to variability in the timing of aircraft installations and de-installations impacting depreciation expense and amortization of deferred airborne leasing proceeds. In addition, this presentation contains various customer metrics and operating data, including numbers of aircraft or units online, that are based on internal company data, as well as information relating to the commercial and business aviation market, and our position within those markets. While management believes such information and data are reliable, they have not been verified by an independent source and there are inherent challenges and limitations involved in compiling data across various geographies and from various sources.
