Consolidated Second Quarter 2023 Results

• Revenue in the second quarter of 2023 grew 8.1% to $71.3 million compared with the second quarter of 2022, due to Broadband segment revenue growth of 8.6%.

• Net income per share was $0.04 in the second quarter of 2023 compared with net loss per share of $0.06 in the second quarter of 2022.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $22.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to Broadband segment growth of 18.4% and Tower segment growth of 3.7%.

Broadband

• Total Cable Markets and Glo Fiber Markets broadband data Revenue Generating Units (“RGUs”) as of June 30, 2023 were 142,247, representing 13.8% year-over-year growth. Penetration for Cable Markets and Glo Fiber Markets as of June 30, 2023 were 51% and 18%, respectively, compared to 51% and 15%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. Total Glo Fiber Markets passings grew year-over-year by 70,342 from 112,505 to 182,847.

• Broadband revenue in the second quarter of 2023 grew $5.3 million, or 8.6%, to $66.7 million compared with $61.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by a $4.1 million, or 101.3%, increase in Residential & Small and Medium Business (“SMB”) - Glo Fiber Markets revenue. Residential & SMB - Glo Fiber Markets increased due to a 91.8% increase in broadband data RGUs. In addition, Residential & SMB - Cable Markets revenue grew $0.6 million, or 1.3%, due to a 1.4% increase in data RGUs and 2.1% increase in data ARPU. Commercial Fiber revenue increased $0.9 million, or 9.8%, primarily due to $0.5 million in recurring revenue driven by 19.6% increase in connections and $0.4 million in T-Mobile non-recurring early termination fees. T-Mobile disconnected 22 backhaul circuits during the second quarter as part of their previously announced rationalization of the former Sprint network. The Company expects 151 additional backhaul disconnects in 2023 as part of the network rationalization.

• Cost of services decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 2.7%, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to higher capitalized labor and lower medical benefit costs, partially offset by higher line costs due to the expansion of the network into new markets and mobile switching centers of wireless carrier customers.

• Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.0 million, or 14.1%, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to higher advertising costs associated with the Company’s expansion of Glo Fiber and a change in strategy to drive more gross subscriber additions to low cost sales channels, as well as higher bad debt expense.

• Shentel recorded impairment charges of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $4.1 million of impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily a result of colocation lease right-of-use assets that are no longer expected to be used and have no alternative use, while impairment charges in the three months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily a result of the Company’s expected decommissioning of Beam fixed wireless sites.

• Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million, or 15.6%, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the Company’s expansion of its Glo Fiber network.

• Broadband operating income was $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.

• Broadband Adjusted EBITDA was $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Tower

• Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was consistent with revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

• Tower operating income was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.

• Tower Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023 grew 3.7% to $3.0 million, compared with $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Other Information

• As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.3 million and the availability under our delayed draw term loans and revolving line of credit was $275.0 million, for total available liquidity of $301.3 million. We expect to draw the remaining $175.0 million in delayed draw term loans by December 31, 2023.

• Capital expenditures were $136.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with $88.7 million in the comparable 2022 period. The $47.5 million increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to higher spending in the Broadband segment to enable our Glo Fiber market expansion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the impact of depreciation and amortization, impairment, other income (expense), net, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), stock compensation expense, transaction costs related to acquisition and disposition events (including professional advisory fees, integration costs, and related compensatory matters), restructuring expense, tax on equity award vesting and exercise events, and other non-comparable items. A reconciliation of net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below herein.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, divided by revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of performance to evaluate operating effectiveness and assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of the Company’s business growth strategy. Adjusted EBITDA is also a significant performance measure used by the Company in its incentive compensation programs. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expense and income items eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provides management and investors a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core operating results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to the Company’s ongoing operations. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results. However, use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as analytical tools has limitations, and investors and others should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

^{(1)   Homes and businesses are considered passed (“passings”) if we can connect them to our network without further extending the distribution system. Passings is an estimate based upon the best available information. Passings will vary among video, broadband data and voice services.
(2)   Penetration is calculated by dividing the number of users by the number of passings or available homes, as appropriate.
(3)   Total fiber miles are measured by taking the number of fiber strands in a cable and multiplying that number by the route distance. For example, a 10 mile route with 144 fiber strands would equal 1,440 fiber miles.}
