GEE Announces Strong Second Quarter 2016 Results

  • Closed acquisition of Emerging Markets Communications (“EMC”), positioning GEE as a leader in providing connectivity and media to mobile satellite services users (see July 27, 2016 press release)
  • Achieved record aviation Connectivity service revenue and installed the Airconnect system on 30 aircraft, the most quarterly installs since the formation of GEE
  • Signed contract with Avianca Brasil to provide inflight connectivity to the carrier’s full fleet utilizing the combined technology and network assets of GEE and EMC
  • Launched new products to the maritime industry, including deploying Airtime, GEE’s digital media and Wi-Fi portal, aboard a cruise ship operator utilizing EMC’s onboard connectivity system

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (Nasdaq:ENT) ("Global Eagle", "GEE" or the "Company"), a leading provider of satellite-based connectivity and media to fast-growing, global mobility markets across air, sea and land, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.  GEE posted revenue of $112.3 million in Q2 2016, up 10% compared to the prior year period, driven by Connectivity revenue growth of 17% to $33.6 million.  The Company recorded a net loss of $38.2 million, driven by accruals for litigation settlement costs, and Adjusted EBITDA* of $11.2 million.

“GEE posted strong results for the second quarter. Aviation Connectivity service revenue reached a record level, driven by higher usage rates, international expansion and a record number of installations of our Airconnect system. In addition, we recently added Avianca Brasil as a new Connectivity customer,” said Dave Davis, CEO of GEE. “Our Content segment continues its steady growth by offering new services to customers and winning new contracts.”

With the closing of the EMC acquisition, GEE has expanded its addressable market to include satellite-based connectivity and media solutions to the maritime and hard-to-reach land markets.  GEE’s revenue base will now be split approximately equally between media content and connectivity sales and it will operate three service lines: Media & Content, Aviation, and Maritime & Land.  Media & Content are part of GEE’s Content operating segment, and Aviation and Maritime & Land are part of GEE’s Connectivity operating segment.

“The acquisition of EMC positions GEE as a leader in supplying satellite-based connectivity and media to the rapidly growing global mobility market,” continued Davis. “The integration process is well underway as we work towards our goal of $40 million in annual cost synergies in 2018 and thereafter.  Further, we’ve already launched our products into new verticals, such as the installation of GEE’s Airtime digital media and Wi-Fi portal onboard an EMC cruise line customer.”

Second Quarter 2016 Results Summary

Q2 2016 net loss was $38.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $11.2 million.  During the second quarter, GEE increased investment in sales and marketing and product development by $3.5 million year-over-year.  Increases in product development were made to support the Airconnect Global antenna, Boeing line-fit initiatives, new STC certifications, the rollout of new operations solutions products, and the implementation of a new content handling system.  These increased expenses were partially offset by growth in higher margin Connectivity services revenue, driven by higher take rates and passenger volume.  The net loss of $38.2 million was primarily driven by an increase in music litigation settlement reserves of $38.1 million.  This increase in reserves reflects the substantial completion of settlement negotiations with major record labels regarding legacy sound recording liabilities.  We expect to enter into settlement agreements with those labels in Q3 2016.

Capital expenditures for Q2 2016 totaled approximately $14.2 million, inclusive of $4.9 million for satellite transponder purchases announced in Q1 2016 but paid for in Q2 2016. Total capital expenditures year-to-date through Q2 2016 reached $17.6 million.  The Company finished Q2 2016 with approximately $196.7 million in cash and $82.5 million in convertible debt (inclusive of $12.3 million of debt classified as equity).

Segment Results

Content segment revenue grew by $4.9 million, or 7%, to $78.7 million in Q2 2016 versus $73.8 million in Q2 2015. The growth was driven by the addition of new customers and recent acquisitions, offset by a previously anticipated reduction in content distribution revenue. Content distribution revenue is expected to improve to a more normalized level in Q3 2016 as more high value films are delivered to customers. The reduction in Q2 2016 Content revenue relative to Q1 2016 was driven by the seasonal impact of reduced content refresh cycles, which will reverse in Q3 2016 with more billing cycles in that quarter. While Content revenue was up year-over-year, Content segment contribution margin was flat at $25.8 million, largely due to lower content distribution revenue. The Company expects Content contribution margin to improve in the second half of 2016 due to an improved slate of titles. Approximately 95% of GEE’s content revenue today is derived from the aviation market. The acquisition of EMC provides a greatly expanded opportunity to provide more media products to the maritime and land verticals.

Connectivity segment revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 17%, to $33.6 million in Q2 2016 versus $28.6 million in Q2 2015. This was driven by a $2.6 million increase in Connectivity service revenue and a $2.4 million increase in Connectivity equipment revenue. The increase in Connectivity service revenue was driven by a number of factors. These include an increase in the number of connected planes, the addition of new services to international customers and higher usage rates for our Wi-Fi Internet services. The increase in Connectivity equipment revenue included new Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) equipment sales and sales of Airtime streaming IFE equipment. Connectivity segment contribution margin in Q2 2016 increased by $0.8 million versus Q2 2015, due to better equipment margin from sales of EFB products and offset by the costs of adding satellite capacity, largely in international regions, as well as a decrease in sponsorship revenue. The combined company expects to derive approximately 40% of its Connectivity service revenue from the aviation market, 40% from maritime markets and the remainder from land-based and other verticals.

Recent Highlights

Business Outlook

GEE is updating its full-year 2016 guidance given its acquisition of EMC.  Had GEE not closed the EMC acquisition prior to releasing earnings, it would have reiterated its prior 2016 guidance.  The new guidance is as follows: 

  • Revenue of $545-575 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA* of $80-92 million
  • Capital expenditures in the range of $40-45 million

* With respect to projected full year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to taxes, purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related charges and legal settlement reserves excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.  We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

* About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a measure of our performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measures of our cash flows or liquidity. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure” at the end of this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our financial performance and operating trends, including period to period comparisons, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long term operational plans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by the compensation committee of our board of directors to establish the funding targets for our annual bonus pool for our employees and executives. We believe our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors both because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and our management frequently uses it in discussions with investors, commercial bankers, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before, when applicable, net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax expense (benefit), other (income) expense, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of, when applicable, stock-based compensation, acquisition and realignment costs, restructuring charges, foreign exchange gain (loss) on intercompany loans and any gains or losses on certain asset sales or dispositions. Other income (expense), acquisition and realignment costs and restructuring charges include such items, when applicable, as (a) non-cash GAAP purchase accounting adjustments for certain deferred revenue and costs, (b) legal, accounting and other professional fees directly attributable to acquisition activity, (c) employee severance payments and third party professional fees directly attributable to acquisition or corporate realignment activities, (d) legal settlements or reserves for legal settlements in the period that pertain to matters existing at acquired companies, (e) changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments,  (f) interest expense associated with our debt and (g) any restructuring charges in the period pursuant to our integration plan announced on September 23, 2014. Management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our core operating results.

With respect to projected full year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to taxes, purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition-related charges and legal settlement reserves excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.  We expect that the variability of these items do have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
