CHICAGO – November 7, 2019 – Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), the leading global provider of broadband connectivity products and services for aviation, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Third Quarter 2019 Consolidated Results

 

   

Consolidated revenue totaled $201.2 million, with service and equipment revenue of $158.4 million and $42.8 million, respectively.

 

   

Net loss of $22.9 million, an improvement from a net loss of $37.7 million in Q3 2018 due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

 

   

Combined engineering, design and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses decreased by $6.9 million, or 10%, from Q3 2018.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $35.4 million as compared with $21.1 million in Q3 2018, primarily due to lower CA operating expenses and BA revenue growth.

 

   

Free Cash Flow was $33.8 million, an improvement from negative $72.1 million in the prior-year period.

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents were $217.7 million as of September 30, 2019 as compared with $181.9 million as of June 30, 2019.

 

   

2Ku aircraft online reached 1,289 as of September 30, 2019, a sequential increase of 73 aircraft in Q3 2019. Gogo had a 2Ku backlog of approximately 845 aircraft as of September 30, 2019.(2)

“Gogo delivered a solid third quarter, highlighted by continued strong operational execution and successful implementation of cost controls,” said Oakleigh Thorne, Gogo’s President and CEO. “As a result, we are again raising our 2019 Adjusted EBITDA guidance.”

“Gogo generated a record $33.8 million in Free Cash Flow in the third quarter driven by strong Adjusted EBITDA growth and continuing working capital improvements,” said Barry Rowan, Gogo’s Executive Vice President and CFO. “As we have previously guided, we expect to improve Free Cash Flow by at least $100 million in 2019 compared to 2018.”

Third Quarter 2019 Business Segment Results

Commercial Aviation—North America (CA-NA)

 

   

Service revenue decreased to $80.5 million down 14% from Q3 2018, due primarily to the deinstallation of ATG equipment from 555 aircraft at American Airlines during 2018 and the first half of 2019 and the full impact of the American Airlines’ shift to the airline-directed model.

 

   

Equipment revenue decreased to $3.7 million as compared with $15.0 million for the prior-year period, due to fewer 2Ku installations and a shift in mix from airline-directed to turnkey installations.

 

   

Total revenue decreased to $84.1 million, down 22% from Q3 2018.

 

   

Segment profit increased to $12.2 million from $8.7 million in Q3 2018, due to lower operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization.

 

   

CA-NA aircraft online decreased sequentially to 2,422 from 2,443 as of June 30, 2019, due to previously planned decommissioning of older mainline ATG aircraft by our airline partners, partially offset by airline partner upgrades from ATG to 2Ku.

 

   

Take rates increased to 12.7% in Q3 2019, up from 12.0% in the prior-year period.

Commercial Aviation—Rest of World (CA-ROW)

 

   

Service revenue increased to $22.6 million, up 28% from Q3 2018, driven by an increase in aircraft online.

 

   

Equipment revenue decreased to $13.1 million, down from $17.6 million in Q3 2018 due to a lower number of installations under the airline-directed model.

 

   

Total revenue increased to $35.7 million, up 1% from Q3 2018.

 

   

Segment loss of $13.7 million improved 40% compared with Q3 2018, due to higher service revenue, continuing improvement in satcom utilization and lower operating expenses.

 

   

Aircraft online increased to 721, up 41% from 513 as of September 30, 2018.

 

   

Take rates decreased to 13.8% in Q3 2019, down from 14.2% in the prior-year period, due to the increase in new aircraft fleets online, which typically generate lower take-rates initially.

 

   

Net annualized ARPA of $128,000 in Q3 2019 declined 14% from $148,000 in Q3 2018, also reflecting dilution from the significant growth in new aircraft fleets online.

Business Aviation (BA)

 

   

Service revenue increased to $55.3 million, up 12% from Q3 2018, driven primarily by a 10% increase in ATG units online to 5,527. Monthly service revenue for ATG aircraft online increased to $3,087, up nearly 3% from $3,008 in Q3 2018.

 

   

Equipment revenue increased to $26.0 million, up 7% from Q3 2018 and up 58% sequentially. ATG units sold increased to 293 in Q3 2019 from 186 in Q2 2019, due to increased AVANCE L5 shipments in both the OEM and aftermarket channels.

 

   

Total revenue increased to $81.3 million, up 11% from Q3 2018, due to growth in both service and equipment revenue.

 

   

Segment profit increased to $37.0 million, up 5% from Q3 2018 and up 18% sequentially, driven primarily by higher revenue. Segment profit margins reached 45.4% in Q3 2019, up from 43.9% in Q2 2019.

Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements included in this press release present summary financial information. Please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2019 for the Company’s complete financial statements and additional financial information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow, in the supplemental tables below. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow 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 used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP; when analyzing our performance with Adjusted EBITDA or liquidity with Free Cash Flow or Unlevered Free Cash Flow, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measure, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an

 

3


alternative to, net loss attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flow or Unlevered Free Cash Flow in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated net cash provided by (used in) operating activities when evaluating our liquidity. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for fiscal 2019 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.

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 a contract are assigned to CA-ROW. All aircraft online for the CA-ROW segment are equipped with our satellite equipment. The decline in CA-NA’s aircraft online is due to the deinstallation of our equipment from certain American Airlines aircraft during 2018 and the first half of 2019.

 

   

Aircraft equivalents. We define aircraft equivalents for a segment as the number of commercial aircraft online (as defined above) multiplied by the percentage of flights flown by such aircraft 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 the 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. The decline in CA-NA’s aircraft equivalents is due to the deinstallation of our equipment from certain American Airlines aircraft during 2018 and the first half of 2019.

 

   

Net annualized average monthly service revenue per aircraft equivalent (“ARPA”). We define net annualized ARPA as the aggregate service revenue plus monthly service fees, some of which are reported as a reduction to cost of service revenue for that segment for the period, less revenue share expense and other transactional expenses which are included in cost of service revenue for that segment, divided by the number of months in the period, and further divided by the number of aircraft equivalents (as defined above) for that segment during the period, which is then annualized and rounded to the nearest thousand.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures:

EBITDA represents net loss attributable to common stock before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, 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) amortization of STC costs, (iv) the accounting impact of the transition to the airline-directed model, (v) proceeds from litigation settlement and (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt. 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 the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of such compensation. The fair value of our stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model and varies based on fluctuations in the assumptions used in this model, 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 and amortization of STC costs 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 15, “Business Segments and Major Customers,” for a description of segment profit (loss) in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). Management evaluates segment profit and loss in this manner, excluding the amortization of deferred airborne lease incentives and amortization of STC costs, 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.

We believe it is useful for an understanding of our operating performance to exclude the accounting impact of the transition by one of our airline partners to the airline-directed model and the loss on extinguishment of debt from Adjusted EBITDA because of the non-recurring nature of these activities.

We believe the exclusion of litigation proceeds from Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as this is non-recurring in nature and represents an infrequent financial benefit to our operating performance.

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.

Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and the acquisition of intangible assets. We believe Free Cash Flow provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s liquidity.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow represents Free Cash Flow adjusted for cash interest payments and interest income. We believe that Unlevered Free Cash Flow provides an additional view of the Company’s liquidity, excluding the impact of our capital structure.
