Third Quarter 2012 Financial Summary
Revenue
- Revenue totaled $68.1 million compared with $62.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $68.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Revenue from data center services increased year-over-year and sequentially. IP services revenue decreased compared with both the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012.
- Data center services revenue improved 24 percent year-over-year and 2 percent sequentially to $42.1 million. The year-over-year revenue increase was attributable to organic growth in the data center services segment and to the fourth quarter 2011 acquisition of Voxel. The sequential increase was driven by increased sales of colocation in company-controlled data centers and favorable growth in hosting services.
- IP services revenue totaled $26.0 million, a decrease of 7 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011 and 4 percent sequentially, as traffic growth was offset by per unit price declines in IP. The sequential decline was also a result of higher non-recurring IP equipment sales in the second quarter of 2012.
