ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WideOpenWest, Inc. ("WOW!" or the "Company") (NYSE: WOW), one of the nation's leading broadband providers, with an efficient, high-performing network that passes 1.9 million residential, business and wholesale consumers, today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (1)(2)
- Total Revenue from continuing operations of $173.7 million, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2021
- HSD Revenue from continuing operations totaled $102.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 1%, compared to the third quarter of 2021
- Net Income from continuing operations was $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022
- Net Profit Margin was 0.3% compared to 193.5% for the third quarter of 2021
- Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA was $68.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 3%, compared to the third quarter of 2021
- Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin 39.4% compared to 36.3% for the third quarter of 2021
- Added 1,400 HSD RGUs
- Board of Directors authorized $50 million share repurchase program to be completed over 18-month period
"I'm pleased with our third quarter results which once again reflect the successful execution of our broadband first strategy, with year-over-year growth in pro forma Adjusted EBITDA as our high-speed data business continues to represent a greater proportion of our total revenue," said Teresa Elder, WOW!'s CEO. "We continue to expand our footprint including further progress on our Greenfield expansion as well as additional edge-outs which reinforce our confidence in our strategy."
"The growth in pro forma Adjusted EBITDA continues to enable us to invest in our business and return value to shareholders while maintaining our low leverage profile," said John Rego, WOW!'s CFO. "The strength of our balance sheet puts us in a great position to initiate the buyback program that our Board of Directors authorized, while still giving us sufficient flexibility to fund current and future expansion, including Greenfields, edge-outs, and our commercial business."
Revenue
Total Revenue from continuing operations was $173.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, down $10.3 million, or 6%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2021.
Total Subscription Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $160.4 million, down $9.9 million, or 6%, as compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease is primarily driven by a shift in service offering mix as we continue to experience a reduction in Video and Telephony RGUs, partially offset by an increase in average revenue per unit ("ARPU") as HSD customers continue to purchase higher speed tiers coupled with HSD and Video rate increases issued in the first quarter of 2022 and an increase in volume attributable exclusively to the addition of HSD subscribers.
Other Business Services Revenue from continuing operations totaled $5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, down $0.2 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in data center revenue.

Other Revenue from continuing operations totaled $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, down $0.2 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2021, primarily related to decreases in advertising and line assurance revenue.
Costs and Expenses
Operating Expenses (excluding Depreciation and Amortization) from continuing operations totaled $79.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, down $14.3 million, or 15%, compared to the corresponding period in 2021 primarily driven by decreases in direct operating expenses, specifically programming expense, which aligns with the reduction in Video RGUs between periods and lower bad debt expense, partially offset by decreases in capitalizable eligible expenses. Selling, General, and Administrative expenses from continuing operations totaled $39.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, down $5.1 million, or 11%, compared to the corresponding period in 2021 primarily attributable to decreases in costs associated with digital transformation initiatives, marketing, and legal and professional services expenses, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation expense.
Net Income
Net Income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $0.5 million as compared to $517.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Net Profit Margin was 0.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to 193.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical fact and can be identified by terms such as "may," "intend," "might," "will," "should," "could," "would," "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "project," "predict," "potential," or the negative of these terms. Although these forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith belief and reasonable judgment based on current information, these statements are qualified by important factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially are set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other reports subsequently filed with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made as of the date hereof or the date specified herein, based on information available to us as of such date. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margin. These terms, as defined herein, are not intended to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These terms may vary from the use of similar terms by other companies in our industry due to different methods of calculation and therefore are not necessarily comparable.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures enhance an investor's understanding of our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake Capital Expenditures. We use these non-GAAP measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. We believe these non-GAAP measures are measures commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to overall business performance and is defined by WOW! as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (including impairments), impairment losses on intangibles and goodwill, write-off of any asset, loss on early extinguishment of debt, integration and restructuring expenses and all non‑cash charges and expenses (including stock compensation expense) and certain other income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA takes into account the recent sales of five service areas as though such transactions had occurred prior to the periods presented.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as an alternative to Net Profit margin.
Refer to "Reconciliations of GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures" and the accompanying tables below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA margin to Net Profit margin which are the most directly comparable corresponding GAAP financial measures.
Subscriber Information
The Company uses the terms defined below throughout this release.
Homes passed are reported as the number of serviceable addresses, such as single residence homes, apartments and condominium units, and businesses passed by our broadband network and listed in our database.
We deliver multiple services to our customers, as such we report Total Subscribers as the number of Subscribers who receive at least one of our HSD, Video or Telephony services, without regard to which or how many services they subscribe. We define each of the individual HSD Subscribers, Video Subscribers and Telephony Subscribers as a Revenue Generating Unit ("RGU").
While we take appropriate steps to ensure subscriber information is presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, we periodically review our policies in light of the variability we may encounter across our different markets due to the nature and pricing of products and services and billing systems. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber information based on such reviews.
