ATLANTA, April 28, 2015
ATLANTA, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of high-performance Internet infrastructure services, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2015.
"Higher than anticipated churn, predominantly from a small number of larger data center services customers, has led us to reduce guidance for our full-year 2015 revenue. Nonetheless, our continued strategic investment in core data center services is delivering significantly stronger segment margins and enabling us to reiterate our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance in the range of $89 million to $95 million," said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap. "With a return to sequential revenue growth in the second quarter of 2015, we are positioned to accelerate profitable growth and are excited by the implications for long-term shareholder value."

Revenue
-- Revenue totaled $80.8 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 1% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. The slight year-over-year decrease was due to lower IP revenue, partially offset by increased data center revenue. Sequentially, revenue declined in IP services and data center services. -- Data center services revenue totaled $59.1 million in the first quarter, an increase of 1% year-over-year and a decrease of 4% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was attributable to increased sales of core data center services, partially offset by decreased sales in our partner data centers. The sequential decrease was primarily attributable to churn from a small number of significant colocation and hosting customers. -- IP services revenue totaled $21.7 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 8% year-over-year and 6% sequentially. Both decreases were driven by per unit price declines in IP and the loss of legacy contracts at higher effective prices, partially offset by an increase in overall traffic.
Net Loss
-- GAAP net loss was $(10.4) million, or $(0.20) per share, compared with $(10.7) million, or $(0.21) per share, in the first quarter of 2014 and $(8.3) million, or $(0.16) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. -- Normalized net loss was $(8.6) million, or $(0.17) per share, compared with normalized net loss of $(7.3) million, or $(0.14) per share, in the first quarter of 2014, and normalized net loss of $(5.2) million, or $(0.10) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
-- Segment profit totaled $47.4 million in the first quarter, a 3% increase compared with the first quarter of 2014 and a 3% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2014. Segment margin was 58.7%, an increase of 230 basis points year-over-year and 80 basis points sequentially. -- Data center services segment profit totaled $34.8 million in the first quarter, an 8% increase compared with the first quarter of 2014 and a 1% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2014. Data center services segment margin was 58.9% in the first quarter, up 330 basis points year-over-year and 130 basis points sequentially. An increasing proportion of higher-margin services, specifically colocation sold in company-controlled data centers, hosting and cloud services drove data center services segment profit and margin higher compared with the first quarter of 2014. Sequentially, lower data center revenue resulted in a decrease in data center services segment profit. -- IP services segment profit totaled $12.6 million in the first quarter, a 9% decrease compared with the first quarter of 2014 and a 6% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2014. IP services segment margin was 58.1% in the first quarter, down 20 basis points year-over-year and 60 basis points sequentially. Decreased IP services revenue more than offset lower costs, driving declines in IP services segment profit and segment margin. -- Adjusted EBITDA totaled $17.9 million in the first quarter, a 1% increase compared with the first quarter of 2014 and a 21% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.2% in the first quarter, up 50 basis points year-over-year and down 480 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin was attributable to increased segment profit in our data center services segment. Sequentially, seasonally higher cash operating expense3 weighed on adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.
