ATLANTA, GA – April 26, 2012 – Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a leading provider of IT infrastructure services, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2012.

“We were pleased with the solid revenue growth we generated in the first quarter. We drove sequential and year over year increases in our organic core data center business as well as in the newly acquired services from Voxel, which remains well on track to deliver 25 percent annual revenue growth,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap. “With our collective efforts set squarely on deploying high-value data center services, we were able to quickly reach a key Voxel integration milestone with today’s launch of Agile Hosting services, our new e-commerce IT Infrastructure offering.”

First Quarter 2012 Financial Summary

Revenue

Revenue totaled $67.0 million compared with $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $62.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenue from Data center services increased year-over-year and sequentially. IP services revenue decreased compared with both the first quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2011.

  • Data center services revenue improved 27 percent year-over-year and 13 percent sequentially to $39.9 million. Both the year-over-year and the sequential increases were attributable to the fourth quarter 2011 acquisition of Voxel as well as growth in core Data center services.
  • IP services revenue totaled $27.1 million, a decrease of 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011 and 1 percent sequentially, as traffic growth was more than offset by per unit price declines in IP.

Net (Loss) Income

  • GAAP net income was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.03) per share, in the first quarter of 2011 and GAAP net income of $4.2 million, or $0.08 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011.
  • Normalized net income, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share. Normalized net loss was $(0.4) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the first quarter of 2011, and $0.3 million or $0.01 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

  • Segment profit totaled $35.9 million in the first quarter, an increase of 18 percent year-over-year and 9 percent sequentially. Segment margin was 53.5 percent, increasing 240 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2011 and 110 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2011.
  • Segment profit in Data center services was $19.0 million, or 47.5 percent of Data center services revenue. IP services segment profit was $16.9 million, or 62.4 percent of IP services revenue. Increasing proportions of higher-margin services, specifically colocation sold in company controlled data centers and hosting services, benefited Data center services segment profit compared with both the first quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2011. Data center services segment margin increased 620 basis points year-over-year and 460 basis points sequentially to 47.5 percent. IP services segment profit decreased 3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2011. Sequentially, IP segment profit decreased 5 percent. Lower revenue drove the year-over-year and sequential decreases in segment margins. IP services segment margin increased 10 basis points year-over-year and decreased 210 basis points sequentially to 62.4 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.2 million in the first quarter, a 33 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2011 and down 3 percent relative to Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.3 percent in the first quarter of 2012, up 280 basis points year-over-year and a decrease of 180 basis points sequentially. Higher operating costs in the first quarter were more than offset by improved segment profit relative to the first quarter of 2011. Sequentially, seasonally higher general and administrative costs outweighed the quarter-over-quarter increase in segment profit.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.8 million at March 31, 2012. Total debt was $106.9 million, net of discount, at the end of the quarter, including $48.2 million in capital lease obligations.
