ATLANTA – (November 2, 2017) Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of Internet infrastructure; including Colocation, Managed Services and Hosting, Cloud, and High Performance Network services, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2017.

“We made significant progress strengthening our operations platform and focusing on top line sales,” stated Peter D. Aquino, President and CEO. “We are approaching revenue stability, and are very excited about our new sales momentum. For example, after doubling our acquired space in Phoenix, we already sold out the entire availability at an accelerated pace, and we are looking to expand a third time. In addition, strong demand for INAP services in Dallas and Montreal also presents great opportunity for revenue growth. In this quarter, we consolidated our position in INAP Japan by exercising certain rights under the joint venture agreement, which results in INAP having both economic benefits and a majority of the board. Finally, our Board effectuated a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-4, implementing the stockholder’s approval from our recent annual meeting. Looking ahead, we will leverage our strong position, now in 21 major markets primarily in North America emphasizing our emerging identity as a Colocation leader with value added services, including: Managed Services and Hosting, Cloud, and a High Performance Global Network.”

Revenue

  • Revenue totaled $68.9 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 6.8% year over year and declining at a slower pace at 1.1% sequentially. Approximately $1.4 million of the year over year decline, and $0.4 million quarter over quarter are from the planned closure of the 75 Broad Street, New York facility. Excluding this event, year over year revenue decline was 4.9% and was less than 1% sequentially. The declines were partially offset by growth in Agile Bare Metal server revenue and approximately $1 million in revenue from the consolidation of INAP Japan.
  • INAP COLO revenue totaled $51.3 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 6.6% year over year and 1.3% sequentially. Approximately $1.1 million of the year over year decline and $0.4 million quarter over quarter of the decline was attributed to the planned closure of the 75 Broad Street, New York facility. Excluding this event, sequential revenue was down less than 1% and year over year approximately 4.7%. The declines were partially offset from the consolidation of INAP Japan financial statements.
  • INAP CLOUD revenue totaled $17.6 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 7.3% year over year and comparable sequentially. Approximately $0.3 million of the year over year decline was attributed to the planned closure of the 75 Broad Street, New York facility.

INAP COLO, formerly Data Center and Networking Services, comprised of colocation, IP network services, and managed services and hosting. Managed services and hosting was previously included in the Cloud and Hosting Services segment; and
INAP CLOUD, formerly Cloud and Hosting Services, comprised of AgileCLOUD, iWeb, Ubersmith, and Funio.

INAP Announces 1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split

INAP announces today that its Board of Directors has determined to effect a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Monday, November 20, 2017. INAP’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “INAP,” but will trade on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 45885A 409. A reverse stock split was required to be first approved by the Company’s stockholders, which occurred at INAP’s 2017 Annual Meeting held on June 21, 2017 and granted the Board of Directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio.
In the reverse stock split, every four shares of INAP’s common stock outstanding will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any action by stockholders. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any fractional share of common stock that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split will be paid in cash in a proportionate amount based on the closing price of the common stock as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market on the effective date of the reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of INAP’s common stock outstanding will decrease from approximately 83.4 million shares pre-split to approximately 20.9 million shares post-split. Additionally, all INAP shares of restricted common stock, stock options and other equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be proportionately adjusted.

INAP’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust, which is also acting as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging share certificates. Stockholders who hold their shares electronically in book-entry form at a brokerage firm need not take any action, as their shares will automatically be adjusted by their brokerage firm to reflect the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders may contact their bank, broker or nominee with any questions regarding the procedure for implementing the reverse stock split.
