BEVERLY, Mass., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ATN International, Inc. (“ATN” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ATNI), a leading provider of digital infrastructure and communications services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Remarks by Brad Martin, ATN Chief Executive Officer
“We are making progress in our efforts to leverage our investments to deliver top line growth while improving operating efficiency. Our second quarter performance is driving the business toward that goal as we increased consolidated Adjusted EBITDA by 6%, delivered International Telecom segment top-line and Adjusted EBITDA growth, and benefited from our cost management efforts. Our US Telecom segment’s performance was in line with our expectations, reflecting the impact of the expiration of the ECF program, as previously signaled.″
“We continue to enhance the performance and longevity of ATN’s network and improve the quality of our revenue streams through the execution of our First-to-Fiber and Glass & Steel™ strategies. In the second quarter, we grew homes passed by high-speed broadband and had a healthy conversion of subscribers to our high-value high-speed broadband networks. In mobility, we continue to convert our mobility subscriber base to higher margin pre-paid and post-paid plans, expand data usage, and increase business subscribers.”
“Looking ahead, we are reiterating our fiscal year 2024 outlook based on our first half performance and the progress we are making executing to our plan. As we near the end of our three-year strategy, we are focusing on maximizing the investments in our upgraded network assets while supporting further expansion at more normalized capex levels supplemented by U.S. government funded infrastructure programs. We believe that our high-speed network expansion and ongoing focus on margin improvement provides a solid foundation for driving strong, sustainable recurring revenues, durable free cash flow, and enhanced shareholder value over the long-term.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Consolidated revenues were $183.3 million, down 2% versus $186.4 million in the year-ago quarter. This decrease primarily reflects the impact of the end of the ECF program in the US Telecom segment, which offset the increase in fixed revenues in the International Telecom segment.
Operating income was $24.3 million in the second quarter versus $2.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a $15.9 million gain on the disposition of a non-core asset, a $4.3 million reduction in year-over-year selling, general and administrative expenses, and a $1.9 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.
Net income attributable to ATN stockholders in the second quarter of 2024 was $9.0 million, or income of $0.50 per diluted share compared with a net income attributable to ATN stockholders of $0.8 million, or $(0.03) loss per share, in the year-ago quarter. The increase year-over-year was the result of an increase in operating income, which more than offset the increase in interest expense. In all periods, the income or loss per share calculation includes the impact of preferred dividends that are not included in the net income (loss) calculation.
Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $48.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $45.8 million in the year-ago quarter due to lower operating expenses, which more than offset the decrease in revenue.
Segment Operating Results (in Thousands)
The Company recorded financial results in three categories: (i) International Telecom; (ii) US Telecom; and (iii) Corporate and Other*.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definition of Terms
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the Company has included EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt, and Net Debt Ratio in this release and the tables included herein.
EBITDA is defined as Operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization expense, transaction-related charges, restructuring expenses, one-time impairment or special charges, non-cash stock-based compensation, and the gain (loss) on disposition of assets.
Net Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.
Net Debt Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by the sum of the trailing four quarters Adjusted EBITDA at the measurement date.
The Company believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures helps investors gain a meaningful understanding of the Company's core operating results and enhances the usefulness of comparing such performance with prior periods. Management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the Company’s core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release. While non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating the Company’s own operating results over different periods of time, the Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
