1. The business

 

Boingo Wireless, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “we, “us”, “our” or “the Company”) is a leading global provider of mobile Internet solutions for smartphones, tablet computers, laptops, and other wireless-enabled consumer devices. The Company has more than a million small cell networks for cellular distributed antenna system (“DAS”) and Wi-Fi access that reach more than one billion consumers annually. Boingo Wireless, Inc. was incorporated on April 16, 2001 in the State of Delaware. We have a diverse monetization model that enables us to generate revenues from wholesale partnerships, retail sales, and advertising across these small cell networks. Wholesale offerings include Wi-Fi roaming, private label Wi-Fi, location based services, and DAS, which are cellular extension networks. Retail products include Wi-Fi subscriptions and day passes that provide access to more than one million commercial hotspots worldwide, and Internet Protocol television (“IPTV”) services and broadband for military barracks. Advertising revenue is driven by Wi-Fi sponsorships at airports, hotels, cafes and restaurants, and public spaces. Our customers include some of the world’s largest carriers, telecommunications service providers and global consumer brands, as well as Internet savvy consumers on the go and troops stationed at U.S. military bases.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and our financial position as of March 31, 2015. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year or any other future year or interim period.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority owned subsidiaries. We consolidate our 70% ownership of Concourse Communications Detroit, LLC, our 70% ownership of Chicago Concourse Development Group, LLC and our 75% ownership of Boingo Holding Participacoes Ltda. in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. Other parties’ interests in consolidated entities are reported as non-controlling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment and geographical information

 

We operate as one reportable segment; a service provider of mobile Internet solutions across our managed and operated network and aggregated network for mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablet computers and other wireless-enabled consumer devices. This single segment is consistent with the internal organization structure and the manner in which operations are reviewed and managed by our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker.

 

All significant long-lived tangible assets are held in the U.S. We do not disclose sales by geographic area because to do so would be impracticable. In our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015, we updated our presentation of retail and wholesale revenue sources to provide increased visibility into the revenue streams that are the focus of our current and future operational and development efforts. Our retail revenue sources were previously differentiated based on our retail plan types—subscription or single-use. We believe that it would be more relevant to differentiate our individual users based on the nature of the users—retail users who purchase Internet access at our managed and operated hotspots and select partner locations or military users who purchase Internet access or IPTV services for individual use on U.S. military bases. We also previously combined our wholesale DAS and Wi-Fi revenues and we believe that it would be better to disaggregate these wholesale product revenues going forward by DAS and Wi-Fi given the current development of these products. As a result, we have also reclassified our revenues by primary revenue source for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for comparability purposes.

Marketable securities

 

Our marketable securities consist of available-for-sale securities with original maturities exceeding three months. In accordance with FASB ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities, we have classified securities, which have readily determinable fair values and are highly liquid, as short-term because such securities are expected to be realized within a one-year period. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $0 and $1,614, respectively, in marketable securities.

 

Marketable securities are reported at fair value with the related unrealized gains and losses reported as other comprehensive income (loss) until realized or until a determination is made that an other-than-temporary decline in market value has occurred. No significant unrealized gains and losses have been reported during the periods presented. Factors considered by us in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include the nature of the investment, whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific adverse conditions affecting the investment, the financial condition of the investee, the severity and the duration of the impairment and whether we have the ability to hold the investment to maturity. When it is determined that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the investment is written down to its market value at the end of the period in which it is determined that an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. The cost of marketable securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are reflected as a component of interest and other (expense) income, net.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had no significant realized or unrealized gains or losses from investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We generate revenue from several sources including: (i) retail and military customers under subscription plans for month-to-month network access that automatically renew, and retail and military single-use access from sales of hourly, daily or other single-use access plans, (ii) DAS customers that are telecom operators under long-term contracts for access to our DAS at our managed and operated locations, (iii) arrangements with wholesale Wi-Fi customers that provide software licensing, network access, and/or professional services fees, and (iv) display advertisements and sponsorships on our walled garden sign-in pages. Software licensed by our wholesale platform services customers can only be used during the term of the service arrangements and has no utility to them upon termination of the service arrangement.

 

We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, fees are fixed or determinable, no significant obligations remain related to the earned fees and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

 

Subscription fees from retail and military customers are paid monthly in advance and revenue is deferred for the portions of monthly recurring subscription fees collected in advance. We provide refunds for our retail and military services on a case-by-case basis. These amounts are not significant and are recorded as contra-revenue in the period the refunds are made. Subscription fee revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period. Revenue generated from retail and military single-use access is recognized when access is provided.

Table of Contents

 

Revenue generated from access to our DAS networks consists of build-out fees and recurring access fees under certain long-term contracts with telecom operators. Build-out fees paid upfront are generally deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the estimated customer relationship period, once the build-out is complete. Periodically, we install and sell Wi-Fi and DAS networks to customers where we do not have service contracts or remaining obligations beyond the installation of those networks and we recognize build-out fees for such projects as revenue when the installation work is completed and the network has been accepted by the customer. Minimum monthly access fees for usage of the DAS networks are non-cancellable and generally escalate on an annual basis. These minimum monthly access fees are recognized ratably over the term of the telecom operator agreement. The initial term of our contracts with telecom operators generally range from five to ten years and the agreements generally contain renewal clauses. Revenue from DAS network access fees in excess of the monthly minimums is recognized when earned.

 

Services provided to wholesale Wi-Fi partners generally contain several elements including: (i) a term license to use our software to access our Wi-Fi network, (ii) access fees for Wi-Fi network usage, and/or (iii) professional services for software integration and customization and to maintain the Wi-Fi service. The term license, monthly minimum network access fees and professional services are billed on a monthly basis based upon predetermined fixed rates. Once the term license for integration and customization are delivered, the fees from the arrangement are recognized ratably over the remaining term of the service arrangement. The initial term of the license agreements is generally between one to five years and the agreements generally contain renewal clauses. Revenue for Wi-Fi network access fees in excess of the monthly minimum amounts is recognized when earned. All elements within existing service arrangements are generally delivered and earned concurrently throughout the term of the respective service arrangement.

 

In instances where the minimum monthly Wi-Fi and DAS network access fees escalate over the term of the wholesale service arrangement, an unbilled receivable is recognized when performance is within our control and when we have reasonable assurance that the unbilled receivable balance will be collected.

 

We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009- 13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), on a prospective basis on January 1, 2011. For multiple-deliverable arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011 that are accounted for under ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, we defer recognition of revenue for the full arrangement and recognize all revenue ratably over the wholesale service period for Wi-Fi platform service arrangements and the term of the estimated customer relationship period for DAS arrangements, as we do not have evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements in the arrangement. For multiple-deliverable arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011 that are accounted for under ASC 605-25, we evaluate whether or not separate units of accounting exist and then allocate the arrangement consideration to all units of accounting based on the relative selling price method using estimated selling prices if vendor specific objective evidence and third party evidence is not available. We recognize the revenue associated with the separate units of accounting upon completion of such services or ratably over the wholesale service period for Wi-Fi platform service arrangements and the term of the estimated customer relationship period for DAS arrangements.

 

Advertising revenue is generated from advertisements on our managed and operated or partner networks. In determining whether an arrangement exists, we ensure that a binding arrangement is in place, such as a standard insertion order or a fully executed customer-specific agreement. Obligations pursuant to our advertising revenue arrangements typically include a minimum number of units or the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. Advertising and other revenue is recognized when the services are performed.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Our Brazilian subsidiary uses the Brazilian Real as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of our Brazilian subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at period-end rates of exchange, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing for each month. The resulting translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of other comprehensive loss, which is reflected in stockholders’ equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $842 and $443, respectively, of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, which was $0 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the full valuation allowance established against our deferred tax assets, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Some of our subsidiaries also enter into transactions and have monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the entities’ respective functional currencies. Gains and losses from the revaluation of foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the arrangement for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. An entity may choose to adopt the new standard either retrospectively or prospectively. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of this new standard on our cloud computing arrangements in our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, except when incurred before receipt of the funding from the associated debt liability. The costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity must adopt the new standard retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We have not elected to early adopt this standard. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have classified debt issuance costs of $178 and $178, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $470 and $514, respectively, within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation — Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance and ends the deferral granted to investment companies from applying the variable interest entity (VIE) guidance. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of this new standard.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which explicitly requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with each annual and interim period. Management will assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The standard will be effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of this new standard.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is intended to improve and converge the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers between U.S. GAAP and International Accounting Standards. In accordance with this new standard, an entity would recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services. The standard establishes a five-step model and related application guidance, which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. An entity may choose to adopt the new standard either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the new standard. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of this new standard on our reporting of revenue contracts in our consolidated financial statements.

5. Fair value measurement

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and (iii) unobservable inputs that require us to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Our marketable securities utilize Level 2 inputs and consist primarily of corporate securities which include commercial paper and corporate debt instruments including notes issued by foreign or domestic corporations which pay in U.S. dollars and carry a rating of A or better. We have evaluated the various types of securities in our investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Due to variations in trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices in active markets, our fixed maturities are classified as Level 2 securities. The fair value of our fixed maturity marketable securities is derived through the use of a third party pricing source or recent reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable data.

The Company used the income approach to value the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2015. The contingent consideration used a discounted cash flow method with probability weighted cash flows for Endeka Group, Inc., which we acquired in February 2013.

7. Income taxes

 

We calculate our interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. At the end of each interim period, we estimate the annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items is recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates, or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including the expected operating income (loss) for the year, projections of the proportion of income (loss) earned and taxed in various states, permanent and temporary differences as a result of differences between amounts measured and recognized in accordance with tax laws and financial accounting standards, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained, or as the tax environment changes.

 

Income tax expense of $204 and $148 reflects an effective tax rate of 2.7% and 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to our valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. At March 31, 2015, we have net deferred tax liabilities of $2,767. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $465 and $459, respectively, of uncertain tax positions, $106 of which is a reduction to deferred tax assets, which is presented net of uncertain tax positions, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we have accrued $73 and $67, respectively, for related interest, net of federal income tax benefits, and penalties. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of March 31, 2015 was $286.

 

We are subject to taxation in the United States and in various states. Our tax years 2012 and forward are subject to examination by the IRS and our tax years 2010 and forward are subject to examination by material state jurisdictions. However, due to prior year loss carryovers, the IRS and state tax authorities may examine any tax years for which the carryovers are used to offset future taxable income.

8. Credit Facility

 

On November 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related agreements with Bank of America, N.A. acting as agent for lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Lenders”), for a secured credit facility in the form of a revolving line of credit in the initial amount of up to $46,500, with an option to increase the available amount to $86,500 upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and a term loan of $3,500 (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Line of Credit, the “Credit Facility”). We may use borrowings under the Credit Facility for general working capital and corporate purposes. In general, amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by a lien against all of our assets, with certain exclusions.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $5,000 and $0, respectively, was outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit are classified within long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 as the Credit Facility matures on November 21, 2018 and we do not expect to repay any of the outstanding debt in the next twelve-month period. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, we borrowed an additional $10,000 under the Revolving Line of Credit. The Revolving Line of Credit requires quarterly payments of interest and matures on November 21, 2018, but may be prepaid in whole or part at any time. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan will bear, at our election, a variable interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% - 3.5% or Lender’s Prime Rate plus 1.5% - 2.5% per year and we will pay a fee of 0.375% - 0.5% per year on any unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $3,281 and $3,500, respectively, was outstanding under the Tem Loan. The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of interest and principal, amortizing fully over the four-year-term such that it is repaid in full on the maturity date of November 21, 2018, but may be prepaid in whole or part at any time. Repayment of amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be accelerated in the event that we are in violation of the representations, warranties and covenants made in the Credit Agreement, including certain financial covenants set forth therein, and under other specified default events including, but not limited to, non-payment or inability to pay debt, breach of cross default provisions, insolvency provisions, and change of control.

 

Principal payments due under our Term Loan through 2018 are as follows:

We are subject to customary covenants, including a minimum quarterly consolidated leverage ratio, a maximum quarterly consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and monthly liquidity minimums. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants as of March 31, 2015. We are also subject to certain non-financial covenants, and we were also in compliance with all such non-financial covenants as of March 31, 2015.

 

We incurred debt issuance costs of $711. Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the four year term of the Credit Facility. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs are included in interest and other (expense) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Amortization and interest expense capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2015 amounted to $76. Interest rates for our Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015 ranged from 2.67% to 2.74%.

9. Commitments and contingencies

 

Letters of credit

 

We have entered into Letter of Credit Authorization agreements (collectively, “Letters of Credit”), which are issued under our Credit Agreement. The Letters of Credit are irrevocable and serve as performance guarantees that will allow our customers to draw upon the available funds if we are in default. As of March 31, 2015, we have Letters of Credit totaling $3,906 that are scheduled to expire over the next year. There have been no drafts drawn under these Letters of Credit as of March 31, 2015.

 

Legal proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be subject to claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Other matters

 

We have received a claim from one of our venue partners with respect to contractual terms on our revenue share payments. We consider this claim to be without merit and plan to defend against such claim; however, we believe it is reasonably possible a loss ranging from $0 to $3,000 was incurred. We are not currently a party to any other claims that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

10. Stock incentive plans

 

In March 2011, our board of directors approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”).  The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of our common stock, stock units, and performance cash awards. As of January 1st of each year, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan shall automatically be increased by a number equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding, (b) 3,000,000 shares of common stock and (c) as determined by our board of directors. As of March 31, 2015, 10,324,899 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance.

 

No further awards will be made under our Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (“2001 Plan”), and it will be terminated.  Options outstanding under the 2001 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

Stock option awards

 

We grant stock option awards to both employees and non-employee directors. The grant date for these awards is the same as the measurement date. The stock option awards generally vest over a four year service period with 25% vesting when the individual completes 12 months of continuous service and the balance vesting monthly thereafter subject to continuous service on each vesting date. These awards are valued as of the measurement date and the stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated and actual forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Restricted stock unit awards

 

We grant time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”) to executive and non-executive personnel and non-employee directors. The time-based RSUs granted to executive and non-executive personnel generally vest over a two to three year period subject to continuous service on each vesting date. The time-based RSUs for our non-employee directors generally vest over a one year period for existing members and 25% per year over a four-year period for new members subject to continuous service on each vesting date.

 

We grant performance-based RSUs to executive personnel. These awards vest subject to certain performance objectives based on the Company’s annual revenue growth achieved during the specified performance period and certain long-term service conditions. The maximum number of RSUs that may vest is determined based on actual Company achievement with one-third of the performance-based RSUs vesting when the individual completes 12 months of continuous service and the balance vesting over a series of eight successive equal quarterly installments thereafter subject to continuous service on each vesting date. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for performance-based RSUs when we believe that it is probable that the performance objectives will be met.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we excluded all stock options and RSUs from the computation of diluted net loss per share due to the net loss for the period as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

On April 1, 2013, the Company approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $10,000 of the Company’s common stock in the open market, exclusive of any commissions, markups or expenses. The stock repurchased will be retired and will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company did not repurchase any of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the remaining approved amount for repurchases was approximately $5,180.

Overview

 

Boingo helps the world stay connected.

 

We have established a global footprint of small cell networks that provide high-speed, high-bandwidth wireless Internet service to smartphones, tablet computers, laptops, and other wireless-enabled devices. Small cells are low-powered radio access nodes that operate in licensed and unlicensed spectrum that have a range of 10 meters to 1 to 2 kilometers. These small cell networks cover more than a million distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi- Fi locations and reach more than one billion consumers annually. With the proliferation of mobile Internet-enabled wireless devices, and growth of high-bandwidth usage from streaming media and smartphone apps, we expect these small cells to play a significant role in helping meet the ever-increasing data demands of connected consumers who are accustomed to the benefits of broadband performance at home and work and are seeking the same applications, performance and availability on-the-go.

 

Our small cell networks include DAS and Wi-Fi networks that we manage and operate ourselves, which we refer to as our “managed and operated” locations, as well as Wi-Fi networks managed and operated by third-parties with whom we contract for access, which we refer to as our “roaming” networks. Our managed and operated locations are typically located in large venues with big audiences, such as airports, stadiums, arenas, U.S. military bases, universities, convention centers, and shopping malls where we install a wireless network infrastructure and generally have exclusive multi-year agreements. Our roaming networks comprise more than one million commercial Wi-Fi hotspots in more than 90 countries around the world. We also sell advertising and sponsorships on other Wi-Fi networks that are not part of our network on behalf of the network owner.

 

We generate revenue through wholesale offerings, retail and military sales, and advertising and sponsorships. We have direct customer relationships with users who have purchased our services, and we also provide mobile Internet access and solutions to our partners, which include telecom operators, cable companies, technology companies, enterprise software and services companies, and communications service providers to allow their millions of users to connect to the mobile Internet through hotspots in our network. Our software solution—which provides one-click access to our global footprint of hotspots—has been rebranded for wholesale partners, in addition to being marketed under the Boingo brand. In combination with our back-end system infrastructure, it creates a global roaming solution for operators, carriers and other service providers.

 

As of March 31, 2015, individual retail users provide approximately 30% of our revenue by purchasing month-to-month subscription plans that automatically renew or hotspot specific single-use access to our network. As of March 31, 2015, our retail subscriber base is approximately 235,000, a decrease of approximately 20% over the prior year period. As of March 31, 2015, individual military users provide approximately 12% of our revenue by purchasing broadband and Internet Protocol television (“IPTV”) services in military barracks. As of March 31, 2015, we have grown our military subscriber base to approximately 32,000 from approximately 2,000 in the prior year period.

 

We generate wholesale revenue from telecom operators that pay us build-out fees and recurring access fees so that their cellular customers may use our DAS networks at locations where we manage and operate the wireless network. As of March 31, 2015, DAS revenue accounts for approximately 33% of our revenue. In addition, our partners pay us usage-based or user-based Wi-Fi network access and software licensing fees to allow their customers’ access to our footprint worldwide. As of March 31, 2015, wholesale Wi-Fi revenue accounts for approximately 14% of our revenue.

 

We also generate revenue from advertisers that seek to reach consumers via sponsored Wi-Fi access, promotional programs and online display advertising. As of March 31, 2015, advertising and other revenue accounts for approximately 11% of our revenue.

 

Our advertising business is seasonal, with the highest percentage of advertising sales occurring in the fourth quarter of each year. Our customer agreements for certain DAS networks include both a fixed and variable fee structure with the highest percentage of sales occurring in the fourth quarter of each year and the lowest percentage of sales occurring in the first quarter of each year. We expect these trends to continue. Our other products have not experienced any significant seasonal impact.

 

We believe we are the leading global provider of commercial mobile Wi-Fi Internet solutions and indoor DAS services for carriers. Key elements of our strategy are to:

 

·                  expand our footprint of managed and operated and aggregated networks;

 

·                  leverage our neutral-host business model to accelerate wholesale roaming and carrier offload partnerships;

 

·                  maximize advertising and sponsorship sell-through for our inventory of advertising-enabled networks; and

 

·                  increase our brand awareness.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to common stockholders plus depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-controlling interests and interest and other expense (income), net.

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:

 

·                       Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations and facilitates comparisons with other companies, many of which use similar non-generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and

 

·                       it is useful to exclude non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation, from Adjusted EBITDA because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations, and these expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of full amortization of previously acquired tangible and intangible assets or the timing of new stock-based awards.

 

We use Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.

 

We do not place undue reliance on Adjusted EBITDA as our only measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including that other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.

 

We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to common stockholders.

 

The following provides a reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA:

Key Business Metrics

 

In addition to monitoring traditional financial measures, we also monitor our operating performance using key performance indicators. In our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015, we updated our presentation of revenue sources to differentiate our individual users based on the nature of the users. Accordingly, we have disaggregated our subscribers between our retail and military users. We have also removed monthly churn, which was defined as the number of subscribers who canceled their subscriptions in a given month, expressed as a percentage of the average subscribers in that month, as a key performance indicator as we no longer view monthly churn as a key business metric.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

There are four key metrics that we use to monitor results and activity in the business as follows:

 

Subscribersretail and subscribersmilitary.  This metric represents the number of paying customers who are on a month-to-month subscription plan at a given period end.

 

Connects.  This metric shows how often individuals connect to our global Wi-Fi network in a given period. The connects include retail and wholesale customers in both customer pay locations and customer free locations where we are a paid service provider or receive sponsorship or promotion fees. We count each connect as a single connect regardless of how many times that individual accesses the network at a given venue during their 24 hour period. This measure is an indicator of paid activity throughout our network.

 

DAS nodes.  This metric represents the number of active DAS nodes as of the end of the period. A DAS node is a single communications endpoint, typically an antenna, which transmits or receives radio frequency signals wirelessly. This measure is an indicator of the reach of our DAS network.

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue consists of retail revenue, military revenue, wholesale revenue, and advertising and other revenue. In our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015, we updated our presentation of revenue sources to provide increased visibility into the revenue streams that are the focus of our current and future operational and development efforts. Our retail revenue sources were previously differentiated based on our retail plan types—subscription or single-use. We believe that it would be more relevant to differentiate our individual users based on the nature of the users—retail users who purchase Internet access at our managed and operated hotspots and select partner locations or military users who purchase Internet access and/or IPTV services for individual use on U.S. military bases. We also previously combined our wholesale DAS and Wi-Fi revenues and we believe that it would be better to disaggregate these wholesale product revenues going forward by DAS and Wi-Fi given the current development of these products. As a result, we have also reclassified our revenues by primary revenue source for the three months ended March 31, 2014 for comparability purposes.

 

Retail and military.  We generate revenue from sales to retail and military individuals of month-to-month network access subscriptions that automatically renew, primarily through charge card transactions. We also generate revenue from sales of hourly, daily or other single-use access to retail and military individuals primarily through charge card transactions.

 

DAS.  We generate revenue from telecom operator partners that pay us build-out fees and access fees for our DAS networks.

 

WholesaleWi-Fi.  We generate revenue from wholesale Wi-Fi partners that license our software and pay usage-based monthly network access fees to allow their customers to access our global Wi-Fi network. Usage-based network access fees may be measured in minutes, connects, megabytes or gigabytes, and in most cases are subject to minimum volume commitments. Other wholesale Wi-Fi partners pay us monthly fees to provide a Wi-Fi infrastructure that we install, manage and operate at their venues for their customers under a service provider arrangement.

 

Advertising and other.  We generate revenue from advertisers that seek to reach visitors to our landing pages at our managed and operated network locations with online advertising, promotional and sponsored programs and at locations where we solely provide authorized access to a partner’s Wi-Fi network through sponsored access and promotional programs. In addition, we receive revenue from partners in certain venues where we manage and operate the Wi-Fi network.

Retail.  Retail revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 15.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in retail subscriber revenue, which was driven primarily by the decrease in retail subscribers partially offset by a 3.8% increase in the average monthly revenue per retail subscriber in 2015 compared to 2014. The remaining decrease is due to a $0.3 million decrease in retail single-use revenue.

 

DAS.  DAS revenue increased $1.8 million, or 22.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a $1.0 million increase from new build-out projects in our managed and operated locations and a $0.8 million increase in access fees from our telecom operators resulting primarily from the new build-out projects that were completed.

Network access. Network access costs increased $0.7 million, or 5.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in depreciation expense and a $0.7 million increase in bandwidth and other direct costs. The increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in revenue share paid to venues in our managed and operated locations and a $0.5 million decrease from customer usage at partner venues.

 

Network operations. Network operations expenses increased $2.2 million, or 38.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a $0.7 million increase in personnel related expenses primarily resulting from increased headcount, a $0.8 million increase in depreciation expense, $0.3 million in network maintenance and connectivity expenses and a $0.4 million increase in call center, hardware and software maintenance, and other expenses.

 

Development and technology. Development and technology expenses increased $0.5 million, or 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due primarily to a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense.

 

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million, or 13.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due primarily to a $0.3 million increase in personnel related expenses, inclusive of a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses. The remaining increase is due to increases in related marketing expenses.

 

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 32.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to a $0.3 million increase in personnel related expenses, inclusive of a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, a $0.2 million increase in rent expenses, a $0.2 million increase in professional fees, a $0.2 million increase in licenses and taxes and a $0.5 million increase in depreciation and other expenses.

 

Amortization of intangible assets.  Amortization of intangible assets expense remained essentially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Interest and Other (Expense) Income, Net

 

Interest and other (expense) income, net, remained essentially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred and capitalized $0.1 million of interest expense related to our Credit Facility.

Table of Contents

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

We had income tax expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our effective tax rate remained relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests remained essentially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of the $5.4 million increase in costs and operating expenses, which was partially offset by the $2.9 million increase in revenues. Our diluted net loss per share increased primarily as a result of the increase in our net loss.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, up 4.1% from the $3.1 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014. As a percent of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA was 10.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, down from 11.5% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Adjusted EBITDA increase was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and a $0.1 million increase in income tax expenses. The increases were partially offset by the $2.4 million increase in our net loss and a $0.1 million decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility.  Our primary sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2015 consisted of $10.6 million of cash and $41.5 million available for borrowing under our credit facility.

 

Our principal uses of liquidity have been to fund our operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions. We expect that these requirements will be our principal needs for liquidity over the near term. Our capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $16.6 million, of which $4.9 million will be reimbursed through revenue for DAS build-out projects from our telecom operators.

 

On November 21, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related agreements with Bank of America, N.A. acting as agent for lenders named therein, including Bank of America, N.A. and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Lenders”), for a secured credit facility in the form of a revolving line of credit in the initial amount of up to $46.5 million, with an option to increase the available amount to $86.5 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and a term loan of $3.5 million (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Line of Credit, the “Credit Facility”). Both the Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit mature on November 21, 2018. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan will bear, at our election, a variable interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% - 3.5% or Lender’s Prime Rate plus 1.5% - 2.5% per year and we will pay a fee of 0.375% - 0.5% per year on any unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit. As of March 31, 2015, $3.3 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and $5 million was outstanding under the Revolving Line of Credit. The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of interest and principal, amortizing fully over the four-year-term such that it is repaid in full on the maturity date of November 21, 2018. Interest rates for our Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015 ranged from 2.67% to 2.74%. Repayment of amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be accelerated in the event that we are in violation of the representation, warranties and covenants made in the Credit Agreement, including certain financial covenants set forth therein, and under other specific default events including, but not limited to, non-payment or inability to pay debt, breach of cross default provisions, insolvency provisions, and change in control.

 

We are subject to customary covenants, including a minimum quarterly consolidated leverage ratio, a maximum quarterly consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and monthly liquidity minimums. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants as of March 31, 2015 and through the date of this report. We are also subject to certain non-financial covenants, and we were also in compliance with all such non- financial covenants as of March 31, 2015 and through the date of this report. The Credit Facility

provides us with significant additional flexibility and liquidity to pursue our strategic objectives for capital expenditures and acquisitions.

 

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, working capital and our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, planned capital expenditures and potential acquisitions for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that future industry-specific or other developments, general economic trends, or other matters will not adversely affect our operations or our ability to meet our future cash requirements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and size of our managed and operated location expansion efforts, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new solutions and enhancements to existing solutions and the continuing market acceptance of our solutions. We expect our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2015 will range from $28 million to $38 million, excluding capital expenditures for DAS build-out projects which are reimbursed through revenue from our telecom operator customers. The majority of our remaining 2015 capital expenditures will be used to build out residential broadband and IPTV networks for troops stationed on U.S. military bases pursuant to our contracts with the U.S. government and upgrading our Wi-Fi networks at our managed and operated venues. The investment of these resources will occur in advance of experiencing any direct benefit from them including generation of revenues. The U.S. government may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts with us, either at its convenience or for default based on performance. Any such modification, curtailment, or termination of one or more of our government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash flow and/or financial position. We may also enter into acquisitions of complementary businesses, applications or technologies which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated $12.5 million of net cash from operating activities, an increase of $4.4 million from the prior year comparative period. The increase is primarily due to a $3.9 million change in our operating assets and liabilities, a $2.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, a $0.3 million decrease in our change in fair value of contingent consideration, and a $0.1 million increase in our change in deferred taxes. The increases were partially offset by the $2.5 million increase in our net loss.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used $15.0 million in investing activities, a decrease of $5.3 million from the prior year comparative period. This decrease is due to the sale of $1.6 million in marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $4.3 million of net purchases of marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received $4.3 million of cash from financing activities compared to $1.6 million in cash used in financing activities during the prior year comparative period. The change is primarily attributable to the $5.0 million drawdown on our Revolving Line of Credit made during the three months ended March 31, 2015 combined with a $0.6 million decrease in payments to our non-controlling interest owners, a $0.3 million decrease in acquisition related payments, a $0.2 million increase in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and a $0.1 million decrease in payments for capital leases and note payable. These changes were partially offset by $0.2 million in repayments made on our Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and a $0.1 million increase in cash used to pay federal, state, and local employment payroll taxes related to our time-based RSUs that vested during the period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided for the year ended December 31, 2014 in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed by us with the SEC on March 16, 2015.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Information regarding recently accounting pronouncements is contained in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to various market risks including: (i) investment portfolio risk, (ii) interest rate risk and (iii) foreign currency exchange rate risk. The risk of loss is assessed based on the likelihood of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows or future earnings.

 

Investment portfolio risk.  We have established guidelines relative to the diversification and maturities of investments to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are reviewed periodically and may be modified depending on market conditions. Although investments may be subject to credit risk, our investment policy specifies credit quality standards for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure from any single issue, issuer or type of investment. At March 31, 2015, we had no market risk sensitive instruments.

 

Marketable securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value and are intended for use in meeting our ongoing liquidity needs. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, which are deemed to be temporary, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities have not been significant. The cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. The amortization, along with realized gains and losses is included in interest and other (expense) income, net.

 

Interest rate risk.  Our Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan bears, at our election, interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% - 3.5% or Lender’s Prime Rate plus 1.5% - 2.5% per year. The interest rate on the Term Loan resets at the end of each three month period. Our use of variable rate debt exposes us to interest rate risk. A 100 basis point increase in the LIBOR or Lender’s Prime Rate as of March 31, 2015 would not have a material impact on net loss and cash flow.

 

Foreign currency exchange rate risk.  We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in conducting business globally in numerous currencies, of which the most significant to our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was the Brazilian Real. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to the operations of our subsidiary in Brazil whose financial statements are not denominated in the U.S. Dollar. Our foreign operations are not material to our operations as a whole. As such, we currently do not enter into currency forward exchange or option contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2015, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
