Non-GAAP and Defined Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in
These measures are not intended to replace financial performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, they are presented as additional information because management believes they are useful indicators of the current financial performance of the Company's core businesses and are commonly used across its industry peer group. As outlined in detail below, the Company believes that these measures can assist in comparing company performance on a consistent basis irrespective of depreciation and amortization or capital structure, while also providing valuable incremental insight into the underlying operating trends of its business.
Depreciation and amortization can vary significantly among companies depending on accounting methods, particularly where acquisitions or non-operating factors, including historical cost basis, are involved. The Company's Non-GAAP and Defined Financial Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Revenue Components
In addition to reporting total revenue, the Company believes that providing transparency around the components of its revenue provides investors with insight into the indicators of the underlying demand for, and operating performance of, its real estate portfolio. Accordingly, the Company has provided disclosure of the following revenue components: (i) Tenant Billings, (ii) New Site Tenant Billings; (iii) Organic Tenant Billings; (iv) International pass-through revenue; (v) Straight-line revenue; (vi) Pre-paid amortization revenue; (vii) Foreign currency exchange impact; and (viii) Other revenue.
Tenant Billings: The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from non-cancellable, long-term tenant leases. Revenue from Tenant Billings reflects several key aspects of the Company’s real estate business: (i) “colocations/amendments” reflects new tenant leases for space on existing towers and amendments to existing leases to add additional tenant equipment; (ii) “escalations” reflects contractual increases in billing rates, which are typically tied to fixed percentages or a variable percentage based on a consumer price index; (iii) “cancellations” reflects the impact of tenant lease terminations or non-renewals or, in limited circumstances, when the lease rates on existing leases are reduced; and (iv) “new sites” reflects the impact of new property construction and acquisitions.
New Site Tenant Billings: Day-one Tenant Billings associated with sites that have been built or acquired since the beginning of the prior-year period. Incremental colocations/amendments, escalations or cancellations that occur on these sites after the date of their addition to our portfolio are not included in New Site Tenant Billings. The Company believes providing New Site Tenant Billings enhances an investor’s ability to analyze the Company’s existing real estate portfolio growth as well as its development program growth, as the Company’s construction and acquisition activities can drive variability in growth rates from period to period.
Organic Tenant Billings: Tenant Billings on sites that the Company has owned since the beginning of the prior-year period, as well as Tenant Billings activity on new sites that occurred after the date of their addition to the Company’s portfolio.
International pass-through revenue: A portion of the Company’s pass-through revenue is based on power and fuel expense reimbursements and therefore subject to fluctuations in fuel prices. As a result, revenue growth rates may fluctuate depending on the market price for fuel in any given period, which is not representative of the Company’s real estate business and its economic exposure to power and fuel costs. Furthermore, this expense reimbursement mitigates the economic impact associated with fluctuations in operating expenses, such as power and fuel costs and land rents in certain of the Company’s markets. As a result, the Company believes that it is appropriate to provide insight into the impact of pass-through revenue on certain revenue growth rates.
Straight-line revenue: Under GAAP, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract for certain of its tenant leases. Due to the Company’s significant base of non-cancellable, long-term tenant leases, this can result in significant fluctuations in growth rates upon tenant lease signings and renewals (typically increases), when amounts billed or received upfront upon these events are initially deferred. These signings and renewals are only a portion of the Company’s underlying business growth and can distort the underlying performance of our Tenant Billings Growth. As a result, the Company believes that it is appropriate to provide insight into the impact of straight-line revenue on certain growth rates in revenue and select other measures.
Pre-paid amortization revenue: The Company recovers a portion of the costs it incurs for the redevelopment and development of its properties from its tenants. These upfront payments are then amortized over the initial term of the corresponding tenant lease. Given this amortization is not necessarily directly representative of underlying leasing activity on its real estate portfolio, (i.e. does not have a renewal option or escalation as our tenant leases do) the Company believes that it is appropriate to provide insight into the impact of pre-paid amortization revenue on certain revenue growth rates to provide transparency into the underlying performance of our real estate business.
Foreign currency exchange impact: The majority of the Company’s international revenue and operating expenses are denominated in each country’s local currency. As a result, foreign currency fluctuations may distort the underlying performance of our real estate business from period to period, depending on the movement of foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar. The Company believes it is appropriate to quantify the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its reported growth to provide transparency into the underlying performance of its real estate business.
Other revenue: Other revenue represents revenue not captured by the above listed items and can include items such as tenant settlements and fiber solutions revenue.
Non-GAAP and Defined Financial Measure Definitions
Tenant Billings Growth: The increase or decrease resulting from a comparison of Tenant Billings for a current period with Tenant Billings for the corresponding prior-year period, in each case adjusted for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the growth in recurring Tenant Billings and underlying demand for its real estate portfolio.
Organic Tenant Billings Growth: The portion of Tenant Billings Growth attributable to Organic Tenant Billings. The Company believes that organic growth is a useful measure of its ability to add tenancy and incremental revenue to its assets for the reported period, which enables investors and analysts to gain additional insight into the relative attractiveness, and therefore the value, of the Company’s property assets.
New Site Tenant Billings Growth: The portion of Tenant Billings Growth attributable to New Site Tenant Billings. The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the growth attributable to Tenant Billings from recently acquired or constructed properties.
Indian Carrier Consolidation-Driven Churn (ICCC): Tenant
cancellations specifically attributable to short-term carrier
consolidation in
Gross Margin: Revenues less operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense recorded in costs of operations, depreciation, amortization and accretion, selling, general, administrative and development expense and other operating expenses. The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the site-level profitability of its assets.
Operating Profit: Gross Margin less selling, general, administrative and development expense, excluding stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the site-level profitability of its assets while also taking into account the overhead expenses required to manage each of its operating segments.
For segment reporting purposes, in periods through the third quarter of
2018, the
Operating Profit Margin: The percentage that results from dividing Operating Profit by revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA: Net income before income (loss) from equity method investments, income tax benefit (provision), other income (expense), gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations, interest expense, interest income, other operating income (expense), depreciation, amortization and accretion and stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the profitability of its operations while at the same time taking into account the central overhead expenses required to manage its global operations. In addition, it is a widely used performance measure across the telecommunications real estate sector.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: The percentage that results from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.
Nareit Funds From Operations (FFO), as defined by the
Consolidated Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO): Nareit FFO
attributable to
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) attributable to
Consolidated AFFO per Share: Consolidated AFFO divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
AFFO attributable to
Free Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities less total cash capital expenditures, including payments on finance leases and perpetual land easements. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as the basis for comparing our performance and coverage ratios with other companies in its industry, although this measure of Free Cash Flow may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
Net Debt: Total long-term debt, including current portion and finance lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net Leverage Ratio: Net Debt divided by the quarter’s annualized Adjusted EBITDA (the quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by four). The Company believes that including this calculation is important for investors and analysts given it is a critical component underlying its credit agency ratings.
Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” concerning our
goals, beliefs, expectations, strategies, objectives, plans, future
operating results and underlying assumptions and other statements that
are not necessarily based on historical facts. Examples of these
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our
full year 2019 outlook and other targets, our expectations regarding
Indian Carrier Consolidation-Driven Churn (ICCC) and factors that could
affect such expectations, foreign currency exchange rates, our
expectations for the redemption of shares in ATC TIPL and our
expectations regarding the leasing demand for communications real
estate. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in our
forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors,
including: (1) a significant decrease in leasing demand for our
communications infrastructure would materially and adversely affect our
business and operating results, and we cannot control that demand; (2)
increasing competition within our industry may materially and adversely
affect our revenue; (3) if our tenants consolidate their operations,
exit the telecommunications business or share site infrastructure to a
significant degree, our growth, revenue and ability to generate positive
cash flows could be materially and adversely affected; (4) our business
is subject to government and tax regulations and changes in current or
future laws or regulations could restrict our ability to operate our
business as we currently do or impact our competitive landscape; (5) our
foreign operations are subject to economic, political and other risks
that could materially and adversely affect our revenues or financial
position, including risks associated with fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates; (6) a substantial portion of our revenue is
derived from a small number of tenants, and we are sensitive to changes
in the creditworthiness and financial strength of our tenants; (7) our
expansion initiatives involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
including those related to integrating acquired or leased assets, that
could adversely affect our operating results, disrupt our operations or
expose us to additional risk; (8) new technologies or changes in our or
a tenant’s business model could make our tower leasing business less
desirable and result in decreasing revenues and operating results; (9)
competition for assets could adversely affect our ability to achieve our
return on investment criteria; (10) our leverage and debt service
obligations may materially and adversely affect our ability to raise
additional financing to fund capital expenditures, future growth and
expansion initiatives and to satisfy our distribution requirements; (11)
if we fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we will be
subject to tax at corporate income tax rates, which may substantially
reduce funds otherwise available, and even if we qualify for taxation as
a REIT, we may face tax liabilities that impact earnings and available
cash flow; (12) complying with REIT requirements may limit our
flexibility or cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities;
(13) restrictive covenants in the agreements related to our
securitization transactions, our credit facilities and our debt
securities could materially and adversely affect our business by
limiting flexibility, and we may be prohibited from paying dividends on
our common stock, which may jeopardize our qualification for taxation as
a REIT; (14) our towers, fiber networks, data centers or computer
systems may be affected by natural disasters, security breaches and
other unforeseen events for which our insurance may not provide adequate
coverage; (15) our costs could increase and our revenues could decrease
due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, especially if these
perceived risks are substantiated; (16) we could have liability under
environmental and occupational safety and health laws; (17) if we are
unable to protect our rights to the land under our towers, it could
adversely affect our business and operating results; and (18) if we are
unable or choose not to exercise our rights to purchase towers that are
subject to lease and sublease agreements at the end of the applicable
period, our cash flows derived from those towers will be eliminated. For
additional information regarding factors that may cause actual results
to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking
statements, we refer you to the information contained in Item 1A of our
