“The first quarter of 2024 was our second straight quarter of sequential residential data customer growth,” said Julie Laulis, Cable One President and CEO. “Our use of targeted pricing and product offerings in certain markets helped contribute to this growth and we believe our revenues will ultimately benefit from such price-unit rebalancing over the long-term.”

First Quarter 2024 Summary:

  • Sequentially, residential data primary service units ("PSUs") grew by 6,900, or 0.7%, and business data PSUs grew by 300, or 0.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Net income was $47.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $57.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $217.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $228.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net profit margin was 11.7% and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.7%.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $164.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $161.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures was $151.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $132.7 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Total revenues were $404.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $421.9 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • The Company paid $16.8 million in dividends during the first quarter of 2024.
  • The Company repaid $50.0 million under its revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") during the first quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are defined in the section of this press release entitled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are reconciled to net income, Adjusted EBITDA margin is reconciled to net profit margin and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. Refer to the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Compared to First Quarter 2023

Revenues were $404.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $421.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. Residential video revenues decreased $9.9 million, or 14.1%, year-over-year due primarily to a decrease in residential video subscribers, partially offset by a rate adjustment enacted during the quarter. Residential data revenues decreased $6.9 million, or 2.8%, year-over-year due primarily to a 2.7% decrease in average revenue per unit, partially offset by an increase in residential data subscribers. Business data revenues increased $2.0 million, or 3.7%, year-over-year, due primarily to an increase in business data subscribers.

Net income was $47.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $57.4 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease was due primarily to lower revenues, partially offset by a reduction in programming costs resulting from video customer losses. Net profit margin was 11.7% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 13.6% in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $217.1 million and $228.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.7% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 54.2% in the prior year quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $164.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $161.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $65.9 million compared to $96.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2024 was $151.2 million compared to $132.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2024, the Company had $210.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand compared to $190.3 million at December 31, 2023.

The Company had $288.0 million of borrowings and $712.0 million available for borrowing under the Revolver as of March 31, 2024.

The Company paid $16.8 million in dividends to stockholders during the first quarter of 2024.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, which will be posted on the “SEC Filings” section of the Cable One Investor Relations website at ir.cableone.net when it is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors and others interested in more information about Cable One should consult the Company’s website, which is regularly updated with financial and other important information about the Company.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, net income, net profit margin, net cash provided by operating activities or capital expenditures as a percentage of net income reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures are reconciled to net income, Adjusted EBITDA margin is reconciled to net profit margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to capital expenditures as a percentage of net income. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities. These reconciliations are included in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income plus net interest expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, severance and contract termination costs, acquisition-related costs, net (gain) loss on asset sales and disposals, system conversion costs, net equity method investment (income) loss, net other (income) expense and other unusual items, as provided in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s business as well as other non-cash or special items and is unaffected by the Company’s capital structure or investment activities. This measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the Company’s cash cost of debt financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

“Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

“Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures,” when used as a liquidity measure, is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities excluding the impact of capital expenditures, net interest expense, non-cash interest expense, income tax provision, changes in operating assets and liabilities, write off of debt issuance costs, change in deferred income taxes and certain other items, as provided in the “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” tables within this press release.

“Capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as capital expenditures divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA to assess its performance, and it also uses Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures as an indicator of its ability to fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the measure used in the leverage ratio calculations under the Company’s credit agreement and the indenture governing the Company’s non-convertible senior unsecured notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement and the ability to take certain actions under the indenture governing the non-convertible senior unsecured notes. Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is also a significant performance measure that has been used by the Company in its incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account cash used for mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures, and thus does not represent residual funds available for discretionary uses.

The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating the operating performance of the Company. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures is useful to investors as it shows the Company’s performance while taking into account cash outflows for capital expenditures and is one of several indicators of the Company’s ability to service debt, make investments and/or return capital to its stockholders.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures with similar titles are common measures used by investors, analysts and peers to compare performance in the Company’s industry, although the Company’s measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and capital expenditures as a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Forward-looking statements often include words such as “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The Company’s actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement made by the Company or on its behalf. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements include government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions and the following factors, which are discussed in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC:

  • risks relating to existing or future acquisitions and strategic investments by the Company;
  • risks that the implementation of the Company’s new enterprise resource planning and billing systems disrupt business operations;
  • the integrity and security of the Company’s network and information systems;

  • the Company’s ability to renew cable system franchises;
  • increases in pole attachment costs;
  • changes in local governmental franchising authority and broadcast carriage regulations;

  • the potential adverse effect of the Company’s level of indebtedness on its business, financial condition or results of operations and cash flows;
  • the restrictions the terms of the Company’s indebtedness place on its business and corporate actions;
  • the possibility that interest rates will continue to rise, causing the Company’s obligations to service its variable rate indebtedness to increase significantly;
  • risks associated with the Company’s convertible indebtedness;
  • the Company’s ability to continue to pay dividends;
  • provisions in the Company’s charter, by-laws and Delaware law that could discourage takeovers and limit the judicial forum for certain disputes;
  • adverse economic conditions, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, changes in rates of inflation and the level of move activity in the housing sector;
  • pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have, and may in the future, disrupt the Company's business and operations, which could materially affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
  • lower demand for the Company's residential data and business data products;
  • fluctuations in the Company’s stock price;
  • dilution from equity awards, convertible indebtedness and potential future convertible debt and stock issuances;
  • damage to the Company’s reputation or brand image;
  • the Company’s ability to retain key employees (whom we refer to as associates);
  • the Company’s ability to incur future indebtedness;
  • provisions in the Company’s charter that could limit the liabilities for directors; and
  • the other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those described under "Risk Factors" in its latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its subsequent filings with the SEC.
