To: Jibacoa who wrote (10853 ) 4/23/2002 5:22:13 PM From: Jibacoa Respond to of 13094 INAP The earnings report after the market close today came GOOD as expected.<g>biz.yahoo.com Some highlights: They added 142 revenue-producing customers during the first quarter. Including American Airlines, Aramark, CMS Energy, Compaq Computer, McKinsey & Co., Morningstar and The Economist Group. And among those that are awaiting installation are Charles Schwab, DHL Worldwide Express and Southwest Airlines. Cash on hand was $64.7 million as of March 31, 2002. The use of cash in the quarter was $17.6 million, a reduction of 46 percent from the preceding quarter. No question that they are cutting down their burn rate.<g> Their margin during the 1st Q improved to 26 %, compared to 20% during the 4th Q. EBITDA losses were reduced by nearly 30% compared to the preceding quarter and by 72% since the first quarter of last year. That seems like a good % cut.<g> Revenues per employee on an annualized basis increased for the fourth consecutive quarter. The number of EBITDA positive Metro Markets increased to 5 in the 1st Q, compared to 4 in the preceding Q. AND (THIS IS IMPORTANT <g>) Collectively, the domestic Metro Markets turned EBITDA positive during the first quarter. Their "PrivatePath", a fully managed virtual private network (VPN)service was launched in February. Combined with VeriSign's managed firewall it provides customers with a cost-effective and secure private network solution. In April they received independent validation that the metrics supporting the company's SLA are accurate and reliable. This certification by Gomez Advisors further strengthens their industry-leading SLA. In April they began offering its intelligent routing services in Phoenix and installed its first customer, a Fortune 500 manufacturer. Because of their mature footprint, little incremental expense was required. And last but not least.<g> For their coming 2nd Q they are projecting a sequential increase in revenues, EBITDA losses in the range of $6.0 to $8.0 million, and cash use in the range of $14.0 to $16.0 M.( The "cash on hand" was $64.7 million as of March 31, 2002.) INAP is trading after hours at 0.75.<g> Will see if it can close above the nearest resistance at 0.84 tomorrow.<g>siliconinvestor.com I am still looking for it to get back to the $5 level before year's end.<g> Bernard
