ATLANTA — October 25, 2012 — Internap Network Services Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of intelligent IT Infrastructure services,today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2012.

“Continued growth in our data center services segment combined with a keen focus on operational excellence enabled the solid growth in Adjusted EBITDA profitability during the third quarter of 2012,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap. “As the successful sale of our colocation, hosting and cloud services fills capacity in our existing NY metro data centers, we have made the decision to expand to support continued growth in this key metro market.

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.

Net (Loss) Income

  • GAAP net loss was $(2.5) million, or $(0.05) per share, compared with $(1.8) million, or $(0.04) per share, in the third quarter of 2011 and $(2.0) million, or $(0.04) per share, in the second quarter of 2012.

  • Segment profit in data center services was $18.6 million, or 44.1 percent of data center services revenue. IP services segment profit was $16.0 million, or 61.4 percent of IP services revenue. An increasing proportion of higher-margin services, specifically colocation sold in company controlled data centers and hosting services, benefited data center services segment profit compared with the third quarter of 2011.

Data center services segment margin increased 410 basis points year-over-year and decreased 130 basis points sequentially to 44.1 percent. IP services segment profit decreased 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011. Sequentially, IP segment profit decreased 7 percent. Lower non-recurring IP equipment sales and IP transit revenue drove the year-over-year and sequential decreases in segment margins. IP services segment margin decreased 170 basis points year-over-year and 190 basis points sequentially to 61.4 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.5 million in the third quarter, an 11 percent increase compared with the third quarter of 2011 and a 2 percent increase over the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.3 percent in the third quarter of 2012, up 10 basis points year-over-year and 60 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to increased segment profit in our data center services segment.
