Actual future events and results could differ materially from the events and results indicated in these statements as a result of many factors, including, among others, (1) our ability to successfully transition our U.S. Telecom business away from wholesale wireless to other carrier and consumer-based services; (2) our ability to replace and remove all ZTE equipment in our U.S. network, as required by the FCC in a timely and cost-effective manner; (3) the general performance of our operations, including operating margins, revenues, capital expenditures, and the retention of and future growth of our subscriber base and average revenue per user; (4) our ability to realize cost synergies and expansion plans for our newly acquired Alaska Communications business; (5) our ability to satisfy the needs and demands of our major carrier customers; (6) our ability to efficiently and cost-effectively upgrade our networks and IT platforms to address rapid and significant technological changes in the telecommunications industry; (7) government funding and subsidy program availability and regulation of our businesses, which may impact our revenue, expansion plans and operating costs; (8) our reliance on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors for timely supply of equipment and services relating to our network infrastructure; (9) economic, political and other risks and opportunities facing our operations, including those resulting from the pandemic, geopolitical tensions, including the invasion of Ukraine, and from inflation, including increased costs and supply chain disruptions; (10) the loss of or an inability to recruit skilled personnel in our various jurisdictions, including key members of management; (11) our ability to find investment or acquisition or disposition opportunities that fit our strategic goals; (12) the occurrence of weather events and natural catastrophes and our ability to secure the appropriate level of insurance coverage for our assets; (13) increased competition; (14) the adequacy and expansion capabilities of our network capacity and customer service system to support our customer growth; (15) our continued access to capital and credit markets; 16) our ability to successfully recognize the expected benefits of our acquisition of Sacred Wind Enterprises. These and other additional factors that may cause actual future events and results to differ materially from the events and results indicated in the forward-looking statements above are set forth more fully under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in each of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 8, 2022, and the other reports we file from time to time with the SEC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company is a provider of digital infrastructure and communications services in the United States and internationally, including the Caribbean region, with a focus on rural and remote markets with a growing demand for infrastructure investments. The Company’s operating subsidiaries today primarily provide: (i) advanced wireless and wireline connectivity to residential, business and government customers, including a range of high-speed Internet and data services, fixed and mobile wireless solutions, and video and voice services; and (ii) carrier and enterprise communications services, such as terrestrial and submarine fiber optic transport, and communications tower facilities.

At the holding company level, the Company oversees the allocation of capital within and among its subsidiaries, affiliates, new investments, and stockholders. The Company also has developed significant operational expertise and resources that it uses to augment the capabilities of its individual operating subsidiaries in its local markets. Over the past 10 years, the Company has built a platform of resources and expertise to support its operating subsidiaries and to improve their quality of service with greater economies of scale and expertise than would typically be available at the operating subsidiary level. The Company also provides management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services to its operating subsidiaries and typically receives a management fee calculated as a percentage of their revenues, which is eliminated in consolidation. The Company also actively evaluates potential acquisitions, investment opportunities and other strategic transactions, both domestic and international, and generally looks for those that it believes fit the Company’s profile of telecommunications businesses and have the potential to complement its “glass and steel” and “fiber first” approach in markets while generating steady excess cash flows over extended periods of time. The Company uses the cash generated from its operations to re-invest in organic growth in its existing businesses, to make strategic investments in additional businesses, and to return cash to its investors through dividends or stock repurchases.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company offered the following types of services to its customers:

●

Mobility Telecommunications Services. The Company offers mobile communications services and equipment over its wireless networks to both its business and consumer subscribers.

●

Fixed Telecommunications Services. The Company provides fixed data and voice telecommunications services to both its business and consumer subscribers in all of its markets. These services include consumer broadband and high speed data solutions for businesses. For some markets, fixed services also include video services and revenue derived from support under certain government programs.

●

Carrier Telecommunication Services. The Company delivers services such as wholesale roaming, the leasing of critical network infrastructure such as tower and transport facilities, site maintenance and international long-distance services to other telecommunications providers.

●

Managed Services. The Company provides information technology services such as network, application, infrastructure and hosting services to both its business and consumer customers to complement its fixed services in its existing markets.

Through September 30, 2022, the Company has identified three operating segments to manage and review its operations and to facilitate investor presentations of its results. These three operating segments are as follows:

●

International Telecom. In the Company’s international markets, it offers fixed services, mobility services, carrier services and managed services to customers in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Guyana and the US Virgin Islands.

●

US Telecom. In the United States, the Company offers fixed services, carrier services, and managed services to business and consumer customers in Alaska and the western United States. In the western

Global Macroeconomic Conditions

The Company’s assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on its operations through September 30, 2022, did not indicate that there was a material adverse impact to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. However, the Company may, in future periods, experience difficulty in procuring network or retail equipment, such as handsets for subscribers, as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and related supply chain challenges.

In addition to potential supply chain challenges, several of the Company’s markets have experienced an increase in operating costs, some of which the Company believes, is attributable to macro-economic conditions, including inflation. If these conditions continue or worsen, they could negatively impact the Company by increasing its operating expenses. These conditions may lead to cost increases in multiple areas across the Company’s business, for example, rises in the prices of raw materials and manufactured goods, increased energy rates, as well as increased wage pressures and other expenses related to the Company’s employees. In particular, where the Company has agreed to undertake infrastructure

build outs on a fixed budget for its carrier customers or by accepting government grants, these conditions may result in build costs that exceed the Company’s original budget. To the extent that the Company is unable to pass on the impact of these conditions through increased prices, revised budget estimates, or offset them in other ways, such conditions may impact our financial condition and cash flows.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the Company believes such information and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods described therein. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results of interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interests and certain entities which are consolidated in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, since it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities.

Presentation of Revenue

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company began to categorize Mobility revenue and Fixed revenue as either “consumer” or “business” based upon the characteristics of our subscribers. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company’s statement of operations separately reflects Construction revenue. All periods presented have been adjusted to conform to these presentation updates.

Presentation of Operating Expenses

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its presentation of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations by combining the previously disclosed Termination and Access Fees with Engineering and Operations as the newly represented Costs of Communication Services and Other. In addition, the previously disclosed Sales, Marketing and Customer Service expenses are now combined with the previously disclosed General and Administrative expenses within the newly represented Selling, General and Administrative expenses. The change in presentation was made to better align the Company’s results with industry standards. Cost of construction services continues to be broken out separately and all depreciation and amortization continues to be shown separately.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company prospectively adopted this accounting standard in 2021. The adoption of ASC 2021-08 will result in the recognition of larger deferred revenue balances in future acquisitions.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which required entities to make specific annual disclosures about transactions with a government. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. Going forward the Company will evaluate the disclosure requirements based on its participation in government programs.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RECEIVABLES

Revenue Accounted for in Accordance with Other Guidance

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC 606 from contracts with customers and ASC 842 from lease agreements, as well as government grants. Lease revenue recognized under ASC 842 is disclosed in Note 4 and government grant revenue is disclosed in Note 9.

Timing of Revenue Recognition

Revenue accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 consisted of the following for the periods presented below.


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021

Services transferred over time	$	161,312	$	143,866	$	469,585	$	350,386
Goods and services transferred at a point in time		10,133		12,510		28,321		39,782
Total revenue accounted for under ASC 606		171,445		156,376		497,906		390,168

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes contract assets and liabilities on its balance sheet. Contract assets represent unbilled amounts typically resulting from consumer Mobility contracts with both a multiyear service period and a promotional discount. In these contracts, the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. The current portion of the contract asset is recorded in prepayments and other current assets and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Mobility and Fixed revenue for postpaid customers is generally billed one month in advance and recognized over the period that the corresponding service is rendered to customers. To the extent the service is not provided by the reporting date the amount is recognized as a contract liability. Prepaid service, including Mobility services, sold to customers is recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services. Contract liabilities also includes certain long term fixed business and carrier service customer contracts. Contract liabilities are recorded in advanced payments and deposits and other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

In July 2019, the Company entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) and subsequently entered into amendments in August 2020, May 2021 and August 2022 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, the Company is building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority in or near the Company’s current operating areas in the western United States (the “FirstNet Transaction”). The FirstNet Transaction includes construction and service performance obligations. The Company allocated the transaction price of the FirstNet Agreement to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation in the contract. The standalone selling price is the estimated price the Company would charge for the good or service in a separate transaction with similar customers in similar circumstances. The current portion of receivables under this agreement is recorded in customer receivable and the long-term portion is recorded in customer receivable long-term on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company has certain Carrier Services roaming agreements that contain stand-ready performance obligations and management allocates transaction value to performance obligations based on the standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is the estimated price the Company would charge for the good or service with similar customers in similar circumstances. Management determined the performance obligations were obligations to make the service continuously available and will recognize revenue evenly over the service period.

Table of Contents

Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021			$ Change	% Change
Contract asset – current	$	3,465	$	4,805	$	(1,340)	(28)	%
Contract asset – noncurrent		1,095		900		195	22	%
Contract liability – current		(26,519)		(25,332)		(1,187)	(5)	%
Contract liability – noncurrent		(74,260)		(81,391)		7,131	9	%
Net contract liability	$	(96,219)	$	(101,018)	$	4,799	5	%

The contract asset – current is included in prepayments and other current assets and the contract asset – noncurrent is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheet. The contract liability – current is included in advance payments and deposits and the contract liability – noncurrent is included in other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. The decrease in the Company’s net contract liability was due to the timing of customer prepayments, contract billings, and recognition of deferred revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $27.0 million related to its December 31, 2021 contract liability and amortized $2.5 million of the December 31, 2021 contract asset into revenue.

Contract Acquisition Costs

The September 30, 2022 balance sheet includes contract acquisition costs of $6.9 million in other assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company amortized $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of contract acquisition costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company amortized $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of contract acquisition costs.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations of certain multiyear Mobility contracts, which include a promotional discount, Managed Services contracts, and the Company’s Carrier Services construction and service contracts. The transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations was $313 million and $369 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company expects to satisfy approximately 51% of the remaining performance obligations and recognize the transaction price within 24 months and the remainder thereafter.

The Company has certain Mobility, Fixed, and Carrier Services contracts where the transaction price is allocated to remaining performance obligations. However, the Company omits these contracts from its disclosure by applying the right to invoice, one year or less, and wholly unsatisfied performance obligation practical expedients.

Disaggregation

The Company's revenue is presented on a disaggregated basis in Note 13 based on an evaluation of disclosures outside the financial statements, information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments and other information that is used for performance evaluation and resource allocations. This includes revenue from Communication Services, Construction, and Other revenue. Communication Services revenue is further disaggregated into business and consumer Mobility, business and consumer Fixed, Carrier Services, and Other services. Other revenue is further disaggregated into Renewable Energy and Managed Services revenue. This disaggregation of revenue depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Receivables

The Company records an estimate of future credit losses in conjunction with the revenue transaction based on the information available including historical experience and management’s expectations of future conditions. Those estimates will be updated as additional information becomes available. The Company’s allowance for uncollectible

Table of Contents

accounts receivable is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of assets pooled together with similar risk characteristics.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had gross accounts receivable of $137.0 million, an allowance for credit losses of $16.1 million and a receivable under the FirstNet Agreement totaling $48.2 million of which $4.8 million was current and $43.4 million was long-term.

5. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of the Company’s fixed and finite-lived intangible assets, allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill, assessing the impairment of assets, revenue, and income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company assessed certain accounting matters and estimates in context with the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 and concluded that there was not a material adverse impact to its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. However, future assessments of the impacts of COVID-19, such as the possible continued supply chain challenges, could result in adverse impacts to its consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

US Telecom

Acquisition of Sacred Wind Enterprises

On November 7, 2022, the Company, via its newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Alloy, Inc. (“Alloy”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sacred Wind Enterprises, Inc. (“Sacred Wind”), a rural telecommunications provider in New Mexico (the “Sacred Wind Transaction”). As part of the Sacred Wind Transaction, the Company paid approximately $27 million in cash and, following the contribution of all of its ownership interests in its Commnet business to Alloy, issued approximately 6% of the fully diluted shares in Alloy to the Sacred Wind stockholders. The Company will also assume Sacred Wind’s debt of approximately $32 million, to the Rural Utilities Services. In addition, the Purchase Agreement includes certain earn-outs, based on various performance measures, the values of which are currently being assessed, to be paid to the Sacred Wind stockholders.

The Company believes that the acquisition of Sacred Wind will expand its infrastructure reach and broadband services in the rural Southwest and increase its wholesale carrier, residential and business broadband services.

Acquisition of Alaska Communications

On July 22, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (“Alaska Communications”) for consideration of $339.5 million of cash, net of $11.9 million of cash and restricted cash acquired and $1.9 million of accrued consideration representing amounts payable related to stock compensation payable within one year of the close date (the “Alaska Transaction”). The cash consideration was used to purchase $186.8 million of Alaska Communications equity and repay $164.6 million of existing Alaska Communications debt.

The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand, debt, and a $71.5 million contribution from certain affiliates of Freedom 3 Capital and other investors (the “Freedom 3 Investment”). The Company borrowed, through multiple financing transactions, a net of $283 million consisting of (i) the full $210 million aggregate amount of the Alaska Term Loan (as defined below) in a single borrowing by Alaska Communications; (ii) $10 million of the Alaska Revolving Facility (as defined below) by Alaska Communications; and (iii) $63.0 million under its revolving credit facility under the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility (as defined below). The Company incurred $6.6 million of debt issuance and debt discount costs.

The Company has accounted for the Freedom 3 Investment as redeemable noncontrolling interests in Alaska Communications its consolidated financial statements. As of July 22, 2021, the redeemable noncontrolling interests consisted of $22.6 million of redeemable common units, $48.3 million of redeemable preferred units, and $0.6 million of warrants to purchase common units, in each case, in an affiliate of Alaska Communications. The Company owns the remaining redeemable common units, redeemable preferred units and warrants in such entity. All common units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the common units to such Alaska Communications affiliate at the then fair market value. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. The redeemable preferred units carry a 9% preferred dividend which compounds quarterly. The preferred units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the preferred units to an affiliate of Alaska Communications at the unpaid issue price plus unpaid dividends. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. Lastly, the warrants in the Alaska Communications affiliate allow the holders to purchase an additional 3% of the common units at a fixed price.

The acquired fixed assets are comprised of telecommunication equipment located in Alaska and the western United States. The fixed assets were valued using the income and cost approaches. Cash flows were discounted between 4% and 14% based on the risk associated with the cash flows to determine fair value under the income approach. The fixed assets have useful lives ranging from 2 to 30 years. The intangible assets consist of $34.9 million of customer relationships and $9.5 million of trade name. The intangible assets were valued using an income approach based on data specific to Alaska Communications as well as market participant assumptions where appropriate. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. The estimated fair value of the trade name was determined using the relief from royalty method. The useful lives of the customer relationships and trade name are five and 15 years, respectively. The acquired receivables consist of trade receivables incurred in the ordinary course of business. The Company expects to collect the full amount of the receivables. Other liabilities includes $81.5 million of deferred revenue from long term customer contracts. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 in 2021, which requires contract liabilities to be accounted for consistently with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements. As a result, the acquired deferred revenue was recorded at Alaska Communications’ book value as of the Closing Date.

The Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 includes $63.5 million of revenue and $3.2 million of losses before taxes attributable to the Alaska Transaction. The Company’s statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes $184.4 million of revenue and $8.3 million of losses before taxes attributable to the Alaska Transaction. The Company incurred $11.2 million of transaction related charges pertaining to legal, accounting, consulting services, and employee related costs associated with the transaction, of which $0.8 million were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company paid $1.7 million of the accrued consideration during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Renewable Energy

Disposition of International Solar Business

In January 2021, the Company completed the sale of 67% of the outstanding equity in its business that owns and operates distributed generation solar power projects operated under the Vibrant name in India (the “Vibrant Transaction”). The post-sale results of the Company’s ownership interest in Vibrant are recorded through the equity method of accounting within the Corporate and Other operating segment. As such, the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include revenue and operating expenses from Vibrant, but instead, “other income (expense)” within the Corporate and Other operating segment includes the Company’s share of Vibrant’s profits or losses. The Company will continue to present the historical results of its Renewable Energy segment for comparative purposes.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENTS

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 assets and liabilities include money market funds, debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes corporate obligations and non-exchange traded derivative contracts.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments and intangible assets that have been impaired whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Table of Contents

Assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the fair value of the remaining Level 3 investments decreased $0.1 million due to a cash distribution.

Money Market Funds

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, this asset class consisted of a money market portfolio that comprises Federal government and US Treasury securities. The asset class is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because its underlying investments are valued using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Other Investments

The Company holds investments in equity securities consisting of noncontrolling investments in privately held companies. The investments are accounted for using equity method accounting, the measurement alternative for investments without a readily determinable fair value, or fair value. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company began to account for its former India solar operations under the equity method of accounting. The fair value investments are valued using level 3 inputs and the Company used the income approach to fair value the investment. The inputs consisted of a discount rate and future cash flows calculated based on the investment attributes. A roll forward of the investments is below:




	Investments without a readily determinable fair value		Fair value investments		Equity investments		Total
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	17,820	$	1,925	$	28,699	$	48,444

(1) During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold an investment previously accounted for using the equity method for $15.7 million of cash. The investment had a book value of $13.2 and the Company recognized a gain of $2.5 million on the transaction.

These investments are included with other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Redeemable Common Units and Warrants

The Company issued redeemable common units, and warrants to purchase additional common units, in a subsidiary of the Company in connection with its acquisition of Alaska Communications (Refer to Note 6). The instruments are redeemable at the option of the holder. Both the common units and warrants to purchase common units are recorded at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. The common units are recorded in redeemable noncontrolling interest and the warrants are recorded in other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets. The Company calculates the fair value of the instruments using a market approach with Level 3 inputs.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The fair value of the interest rate swap is measured using Level 2 inputs.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs. At September 30, 2022, the fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $405.3 million and its book value was $399.2 million. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $373.7 million and its book value was $366.5 million.

In 2018, the FCC initiated a proceeding to replace the High Cost Program support received by Viya in the US Virgin Islands with a new Connect USVI Fund. On November 16, 2020, the FCC announced that Viya was not the recipient of the Connect USVI Fund award and authorized funding to be issued to the new awardee in June 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the program and effective in July 2021, Viya’s annual USF support was reduced from $16.4 million to $10.9 million. In July 2022, this support was reduced to $5.5 million for the annual period through June 2023. Thereafter, Viya is not expected to receive support under the High Cost Program.

Construction Grants

The Company has also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, used to reimburse the Company for its construction costs, is distributed upon completion of a project. Completion deadlines begin in June 2023 and once these projects are constructed, the Company is obligated to provide service to the participants.

recipient of TBCP grants totaling $77.5 million as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, in October 2022, the Company was identified as a sub-recipient for an additional TBCP grant of $52.3 million.

Replace and Remove Program

On July 15, 2022, the Company was notified that it was an approved participant in the Federal Communication Commission’s Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “Replace and Remove Program”), designed to reimburse providers of communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of covered communications equipment or services, that have been deemed to pose a national security risk, from their networks. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, the Company was allocated up to approximately $207 million in reimbursement amounts to cover documented and approved costs to remove and securely destroy all ZTE communications equipment and services in its U.S. networks and replace such equipment. The Replace and Remove Program requires that the Company complete its first request for reimbursement for services performed under the program no later than July 14, 2023 and that it complete the project no later than one year from submitting its initial reimbursement request. The Company is currently assessing the program and anticipates that it will be able to meet the deadlines and requirements of the program. At September 30, 2022, the Company established a receivable for $2.1 million of costs for which it expects to be reimbursed under the program.

CARES Act

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had received $16.3 million of funding under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to construct network infrastructure within the Company’s US Telecom segment. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received an additional $2.4 million of funding for the same purpose. The construction was completed as of December 31, 2021 and $18.4 million of the funding was recorded as a reduction to property, plant and equipment with a subsequent reduction to depreciation expense. The remaining $0.3 million was recorded as a reduction to operating expense in the year ended December 31, 2021.

CBRS Auction

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company participated in the FCC’s Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) auction for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) in the 3.5 GHz spectrum band. These PALs are licensed on a county-by-county basis and are awarded for a 10-year renewable term. The Company was a winning bidder for PALs located strategically throughout the United States at a total cost of approximately $20.4 million. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company surrendered a portion of the PALs that it won in the auction in exchange for repayment of the approximately $1.1 million paid for such licenses, and entered into a Consent Decree with the FCC with respect to such surrender and receipt of the remaining licenses. In connection with the awarded licenses, the Company will have to achieve certain CBRS spectrum build out obligations. The Company currently expects to comply with all applicable requirements related to these licenses.

10. RETIREMENT PLANS

Multi-employer Defined Benefit Plan

Pension benefits for substantially all of the Company’s Alaska-based employees are provided through the Alaska Electrical Pension Fund (“AEPF”). The Company pays a contractual hourly amount based on employee classification or base compensation to the AEPF. As a multi-employer defined benefit plan, the accumulated benefits and plan assets are not determined for, or allocated separately to, the individual employer. This plan was not in endangered or critical status during the plan year.

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension and noncontributory defined medical, dental, vision, and life benefit plans for eligible employees in its International Telecom segment who meet certain eligibility criteria. As part of the Alaska Transaction, the Company acquired a defined benefit pension plan and a post-retirement medical plan covering certain employees. The pension plan had a projected benefit obligation of $15.4 million and plan assets of $12.1 million on July 22, 2021. The post-retirement medical plan is unfunded and had a projected benefit obligation of $0.4 million on July 22, 2021.

The Company recorded the net periodic benefit cost identified below (in thousands):

The Company was not required to make contributions to its pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. However, the Company periodically evaluates whether to make discretionary contributions. The Company funds its postretirement benefit plans as claims are made and did not make contributions to its pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 16.9% and 6.0%, respectively.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million in relation to a pretax loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and (ii) discrete items including $0.9 million of expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

Table of Contents

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, (ii) certain transactional charges incurred in connection with the Company’s recent acquisition that had no tax benefit, and (iii) a discrete expense of $0.5 million for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 21.5% and (98.8%), respectively.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.4 million in relation to a pretax loss of $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, (ii) a $2.1 million net expense recognized discretely to record a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realizable based on the weight of positive and negative evidence and (iii) discrete items including a $3.3 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration, and a $1.7 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, (ii) certain transactional charges incurred in connection with its recent acquisition that had no tax benefit, and (iii) discrete items including a $3.4 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to statute expiration and a $1.5 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The Company’s effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. The Company’s consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or onetime items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from the Company’s accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex applications of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, the Company could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the calculations of basic and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding do not include 5,000 shares relating to stock options as the effects of those options were anti-dilutive.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the Alaska Transaction, the Company has accounted for the Freedom 3 Investment as redeemable noncontrolling interests in its consolidated financial statements. The redeemable noncontrolling interests consist of $22.6 million of redeemable common units and $48.3 million of redeemable preferred units. The common units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the common units to a subsidiary of the Company at the then fair market value. The put option is solely the obligation of Alaska Communications and is nonrecourse to the Company. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. The fair value of the common units remained at $22.6 million at September 30, 2022, unchanged from the value at July 22, 2021. The redeemable preferred equity carries a 9% preferred dividend which compounds quarterly. The preferred units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the preferred units to a subsidiary of the Company at the unpaid issue price plus unpaid dividends. The put option is solely the obligation of Alaska Communications and is nonrecourse to the Company. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. The unpaid preferred dividend was $5.5 million at September 30, 2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company allocated losses of $1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, to the redeemable common units representing their proportionate share of operating losses. Additionally, the fair value of the redeemable common units increased by $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

The Company is subject to certain regulatory and legal proceedings and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages and taxes that are substantial in amount. The Company believes that, except for the items discussed below, for which the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome, the disposition of proceedings currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In 1990, the Company’s Guyana subsidiary, GTT, was awarded a license to provide domestic and international voice and data services in Guyana on an exclusive basis until December 2030. Since 2001, the Government of Guyana has stated its intention to introduce additional competition into Guyana’s telecommunications sector. In connection therewith, the Company and GTT met on several occasions with officials of the Government of Guyana to discuss potential modifications of GTT’s exclusivity and other rights under the existing agreement and license. On October 5, 2020, the Prime Minister of Guyana formally implemented telecommunications legislation previously passed by the Guyana Parliament in 2016 that introduces material changes to many features of Guyana’s existing telecommunications regulatory regime with the intention of creating a more competitive market. At that time, the Company was issued a new license to provide domestic and international voice as well as data services and mobile services in Guyana. Two of the

Table of Contents

Company’s competitors were issued service licenses as well. While the Company has requested details of its competitors’ licenses, such information has not been made public by the Guyana Telecommunications Agency, and the Company is not yet able to ascertain whether the licenses issued to its competitors permit any competitors to provide services that have been subject to GTT’s exclusive rights contained in its 1990 license.

On October 23, 2020, the Government of Guyana also brought into effect new telecommunications regulations called for by the telecommunications legislation. The regulations include new requirements for the market as a whole, which impose costly additional regulatory fees and impact the Company’s operations, administrative reporting and services. There can be no assurance that these regulations will be effectively implemented, or that they will be administered in a fair and transparent manner.

Historically, GTT has been subject to other long-standing litigation proceedings and disputes in Guyana that have not yet been resolved. The Company believes that none of these additional proceedings would, in the event of an adverse outcome, have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In a letter dated September 8, 2006, the National Frequency Management Unit (“NFMU”) agreed that total spectrum fees in Guyana should not increase for the years 2006 and 2007. However, that letter implied that spectrum fees in 2008 and onward may be increased beyond the amount GTT agreed to with the Government of Guyana. GTT has objected to the NFMU’s proposed action and reiterated its position that an increase in fees prior to development of an acceptable methodology would violate the Government’s prior agreement. In 2011, GTT paid the NFMU $2.6 million representing payments in full for 2008, 2009 and 2010. However, by letter dated November 23, 2011, the NFMU stated that it did not concur with GTT’s inference that the amount was payment in full for the specified years as it was NFMU’s continued opinion that the final calculation for spectrum fees was not agreed upon and was still an outstanding issue. By further letter dated November 24, 2011, the NFMU further rejected a proposal that was previously submitted jointly by GTT and another communications provider that outlined a recommended methodology for the calculation of these fees. The NFMU stated that it would prepare its own recommendation for consideration by the Minister of Telecommunications, who would decide the matter. GTT has paid undisputed spectrum fees according to the methodology used for its 2011 payments and has reserved amounts payable according to this methodology. There have been limited further discussions on this subject and GTT has not been given the opportunity to review recommendations to the Minister on spectrum fee methodology, if any.

On May 8, 2009, a GTT competitor, Digicel, filed a lawsuit in Guyana challenging the legality of GTT’s exclusive license rights under Guyana’s constitution and GTT intervened in the suit in order to oppose Digicel’s claims. The case remains pending. The Company believes that any legal challenge to GTT’s exclusive license rights granted in 1990 is without merit and the Company continues to defend vigorously against such legal challenge.

GTT has filed several lawsuits in the High Court of Guyana asserting that, despite its denials, Digicel is engaged in international bypass in violation of GTT’s exclusive license rights, the interconnection agreement between the parties, and the laws of Guyana. Digicel filed counterclaims alleging that GTT has violated the terms of the interconnection agreement and Guyana laws. These suits, filed in 2010 and 2012, have been consolidated with Digicel’s constitutional challenge described above. At the first instance, GTT was successful in defending Digicel’s application to strike out its claim. However, Digicel was successful before the Full Court in having the claims struck out. GTT has appealed the decision of the Full Court before Guyana’s Court of Appeal and is waiting for a date for the hearing of the appeal.

GTT is also involved in several legal claims regarding its tax filings with the Guyana Revenue Authority dating back to 1991 regarding the deductibility of intercompany advisory fees as well as other tax assessments. The Company maintains that any liability GTT might be found to have with respect to the disputed tax assessments, would be offset in part by the amounts necessary to ensure that GTT’s return on investment was no less than 15% per annum for the relevant periods.

On May 20, 2021, the Company was served with a notice of application for enforcement of a foreign judgment with respect to a matter brought by the Trinidad & Tobago Electric Commission (“TTEC”) in the High Court of Justice

Table of Contents

in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in August 2013 against the Company and other defendants, alleging breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay TTEC in connection with amounts alleged to be owed as reimbursement for cable repair costs. In May 2015, the Company failed to appear in the matter and a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of approximately $2.8 million. In May 2021, TTEC took steps to enforce the judgment by commencing proceedings against GTT in Guyana, however, in May of 2022, the High Court of Guyana denied TTEC’s petition and TTEC has appealed the decision before Guyana’s Court of Appeal. GTT intends to continue to defend its position against the legitimacy of the claim.

In February 2020, the Company’s Alaska Communications subsidiary received a draft audit report from USAC in connection with USAC’s inquiry into Alaska Communications’ funding requests under the Rural Health Care Support Program for certain customers for the time period of July 2012 through June 2017. The draft audit report alleges violations of the FCC’s rules for establishing rural rates and urban rates, the provisioning and billing of ineligible services and products, and violations of the FCC’s competitive bidding rules. Alaska Communications has provided USAC with extensive comments in response to its draft audit report seeking correction of numerous factual and legal errors that it believed it had identified. As a result of these conversations and comments being submitted by Alaska Communications, USAC’s auditors may revise their findings, including the amounts they recommend USAC seek to recover. USAC’s auditors are expected to issue a final audit report incorporating Alaska Communications’ responses that will be sent to USAC’s Rural Health Care Division to review and determine if corrective action would be appropriate. In the event that the Company disagrees with USAC’s final audit report, the Company can appeal that decision to USAC’s Rural Health Care Division and/or the FCC. At this time, the Company cannot predict the contents or timing of the final USAC audit report, the outcome of the audit or the impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Alaska Communications also received a Letter of Inquiry on March 18, 2018, and subsequent follow up information requests, from the FCC Enforcement Bureau requesting historical information regarding Alaska Communications’ participation in the FCC’s Rural Health Care Support Program. The Company is engaged in discussions with the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau and will continue to work constructively to provide it the information it is seeking. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s inquiry or the impact it may have on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

With respect to all of the foregoing matters, the Company believes that some adverse outcome is probable and has accordingly accrued $11.7 million as of September 30, 2022 for these and other potential liabilities arising in various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company also faces contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur that cannot currently be estimated. It is the Company’s policy to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a provider of digital infrastructure and communications services in the United States and internationally, including the Caribbean region, with a focus on rural and remote markets with a growing demand for infrastructure investments. Our operating subsidiaries today primarily provide: (i) advanced wireless and wireline connectivity to residential, business and government customers, including a range of high-speed Internet and data services, fixed and mobile wireless solutions, and video and voice services; and (ii) carrier and enterprise communications services, such as terrestrial and submarine fiber optic transport, and communications tower facilities.

At the holding company level, we oversee the allocation of capital within and among our subsidiaries, affiliates, new investments, and stockholders. We also have developed significant operational expertise and resources that we use to augment the capabilities of our individual operating subsidiaries in our local markets. Over the past 10 years, we have built a platform of resources and expertise to support our operating subsidiaries and to improve their quality of service with greater economies of scale and expertise than would typically be available at the operating subsidiary level. We also provide management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing services to our operating subsidiaries and typically receive a management fee calculated as a percentage of their revenues, which is eliminated in consolidation. We also actively evaluate potential acquisitions, investment opportunities and other strategic transactions, both domestic and international, and generally look for those that we believe fit our profile of telecommunications businesses and have the potential to complement our “glass and steel” and “fiber first” approach in markets while generating steady excess cash flows over extended periods of time. We use the cash generated from our operations to re-invest in organic growth in our existing businesses, to make strategic investments in additional businesses, and to return cash to our investors through dividends or stock repurchases.

For further information about our financial segments and geographical information about our operating revenues and assets, see Notes 1 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

As of September 30, 2022, we offer the following types of services to our customers:

●

Mobility Telecommunications Services. We offer mobile communications services and equipment (“Mobility”) over our wireless networks to both our business and consumer subscribers.

●

Fixed Telecommunications Services. We provide fixed data and voice telecommunications services (“Fixed”) to both our business and consumer subscribers in all of our markets. These services include consumer broadband and high speed data solutions for businesses. For some markets, fixed services also include video services and revenue derived from support under certain government programs.

●

Carrier Telecommunication Services. We deliver services (“Carrier Services”) such as wholesale roaming, the leasing of critical network infrastructure such as tower and transport facilities, site maintenance and international long-distance services to other telecommunications providers.

●

Managed Services. We provide information technology services (“Managed Services”) such as network, application, infrastructure and hosting services to both our business and consumer customers to complement our Fixed Services in our existing markets.

Through September 30, 2022, we have identified three operating segments to manage and review our operations and to facilitate investor presentations of our results. These three operating segments are as follows:

●

International Telecom. In our international markets, we offer Fixed Services, Mobility Services, Carrier Services and Managed Services to customers in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Guyana and the US Virgin Islands.

Table of Contents

●

US Telecom. In the United States, we offer Fixed Services, Carrier Services, and Managed Services to business and consumer customers in Alaska and the western United States. In the western United States, we also provide Mobility Services

●

Renewable Energy. In India, we provided distributed generation solar power to commercial and industrial customers through January 27, 2021. See Disposition of International Solar Business for further details.

Acquisition of Sacred Wind Enterprises

On November 7, 2022, we, via our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Alloy, Inc. (“Alloy”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sacred Wind Enterprises, Inc. (“Sacred Wind”), a rural telecommunications provider in New Mexico (the “Sacred Wind Transaction”). As part of the Sacred Wind Transaction, we paid approximately $27 million in cash and, following the contribution of all of our ownership interests in our Commnet business to Alloy, issued approximately 6% of the fully diluted shares in Alloy to the Sacred Wind stockholders. We will also assume Sacred Wind’s debt of approximately $32 million, to the Rural Utilities Services. In addition, the Purchase Agreement includes certain earn-outs, based on various performance measures, the values of which are currently being assessed, to be paid to the Sacred Wind stockholders.

We believe that the acquisition of Sacred Wind will expand our infrastructure reach and broadband services in the rural Southwest and increase our wholesale carrier, residential and business broadband services.

Acquisition of Alaska Communications

On July 22, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (“Alaska Communications”), a publicly listed company, for approximately $339.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, (the “Alaska Transaction”). Alaska Communications provides broadband telecommunication and managed information technology services to customers in the state of Alaska and beyond using its statewide and interstate telecommunications network.

In conjunction with the Alaska Transaction, we entered into an agreement with affiliates and investment funds managed by Freedom 3 Capital, LLC as well as other institutional investors (collectively the “Freedom 3 Investors”). The Freedom 3 Investors contributed $71.5 million in conjunction with the Alaska Transaction (the “Freedom 3 Investment”). The Freedom 3 Investment consists of common and preferred equity instruments in our subsidiary of which holds the ownership of Alaska Communications. We accounted for the Freedom 3 Investment as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements and we also entered into a financing transaction drawing $220 million on a new credit facility to complete the Alaska Transaction. As a result of the Alaska Transaction, we own approximately 52% of the common equity of Alaska Communications and control its operations and management. Beginning on July 22, 2021, the results of Alaska Communications are included in our US Telecom segment.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion regarding the credit agreement used to help finance the Alaska Transaction.

Global Macroeconomic Conditions

Our assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations through September 30, 2022, did not indicate that there was a material adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. However, we may, in future periods, experience difficulty in procuring network or retail equipment, such as handsets for subscribers, as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and related supply chain challenges.

In addition to potential supply chain challenges, several of our markets have experienced an increase in operating costs, some of which we believe, is attributable to macro-economic conditions, including inflation. If these conditions continue or worsen, they could negatively impact us by increasing our operating expenses. These conditions may lead to cost increases in multiple areas across our business, for example, rises in the prices of raw materials and manufactured goods, increased energy rates, as well as increased wage pressures and other expenses related to our employees. In particular, where we have agreed to undertake infrastructure build outs on a fixed budget for our carrier customers or by accepting government grants, these conditions may result in build costs that exceed our original budget. To the extent that we are unable to pass on the impact of these conditions through increased prices, revised budget estimates, or offset them in other ways, such conditions may impact our financial condition and cash flows.

Table of Contents

Disposition of International Solar Business

In January 2021, we completed the sale of 67% of the outstanding equity in our business that owns and operates distributed generation solar power projects operated under the Vibrant name in India (the “Vibrant Transaction”). The post-sale results of our ownership interest in Vibrant will be recorded through the equity method of accounting within the Corporate and Other operating segment. We will continue to present the historical results of our Renewable Energy segment for comparative purposes.

The operations of Vibrant did not qualify as discontinued operations because the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results.

FirstNet Agreement

In July 2019, we entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) that we amended in August 2020, May 2021 and August 2022 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, we are building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”) in or near our current operating area in the Western United States. Pursuant to the FirstNet Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, all cell sites must be completed and accepted within a specified period of time. We expect that total construction revenue related to FirstNet will approximate $80 million to $85 million. Since inception of the project through September 30, 2022, we have recorded $52.1 million in construction revenue, including $8.6 million during 2022. In 2022 and 2023, we also expect to record additional construction revenue and related costs, as sites are completed. Revenues from construction are expected to have minimal impact on operating income. The network build portion of the FirstNet Agreement has continued during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the overall timing of the build schedule has been delayed.

Following acceptance of a cell site, AT&T will own the cell site and we will assign to AT&T any third-party tower lease applicable to such cell site. If the cell site is located on a communications tower we own, AT&T will pay us pursuant to a separate lease agreement for an initial term of eight years. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2029.

AT&T will continue to use our wholesale domestic mobility network for roaming services at a fixed rate per site during the construction period until such time as the cell site is transferred to AT&T. Thereafter, revenue from the maintenance, leasing and transport services provided to AT&T is expected to generally offset revenue from wholesale mobility roaming services. We are currently receiving revenue from the FirstNet Transaction and expect overall operating income contributions from the FirstNet Transaction to have a relatively steady impact going forward.

Universal Service Fund and Connect America Fund Phase II Programs

We recognize revenue from several government funded programs including the USF, a subsidy program managed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), and the Alaska Universal Service Fund (“AUSF”), a similar program managed by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (the “RCA”). USF funds are disbursed to telecommunication providers through four programs: the High Cost Program; the Low Income Program (“Lifeline Program”); the Schools and Libraries Program (“E-Rate Program”); and the Rural Health Care Support Program.

We also recognize revenue from the Connect America Fund Phase II program (“CAF II”) which offers subsidies to carriers to expand broadband coverage in designated areas. Under CAF II, our US Telecom segment will receive an aggregate of $27.7 million annually through December 2025 and an aggregate of $8.0 million annually from January 2026 through July 2028.

Both the USF and CAFII programs are subject to certain operational and reporting compliance requirements. We believe we are in compliance with these requirements as of September 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

In 2018, the FCC initiated a proceeding to replace the High Cost Program support received by Viya in the US Virgin Islands with a new Connect USVI Fund. On November 16, 2020, the FCC announced that Viya was not the recipient of the Connect USVI Fund award and authorized funding to be issued to the new awardee in June 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the program and effective in July 2021, Viya’s annual USF support was reduced from $16.4 million to $10.9 million. In July 2022, this support will be reduced again to $5.5 million for the annual period through June 2023. Thereafter, Viya will not receive High Cost Program support.

RDOF (“Rural Digital Opportunities Fund”)

We expect to receive approximately $20.1 million over 10 years to provide broadband and voice coverage to over 10,000 households in the United States (not including Alaska) under the 2020 Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I Auction (“RDOF”). We recorded $0.5 million and $1.4 million of revenue from the RDOF program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Construction Grants

We have also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, is used to reimburse us for construction costs, and is distributed upon completion of a project. Completion deadlines begin in June 2023 and once these projects are constructed, we are obligated to provide service to the participants. We expect to meet all requirements associated with these grants. A rollforward of the Company’s grant awards is below (in thousands):


		Amount
Grants awarded, December 31, 2021	$	11,067
New grants		23,269
Cancelled grants		(4,254)
Grants awarded, September 30, 2022	$	30,082

In addition, we partner with tribal governments to obtain grants under the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program ("TBCP"). The TBCP is a program administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to deploy broadband connectivity on tribal lands. We were identified as a sub recipient of TBCP grants totaling $77.5 million as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, in October 2022, the company was identified as a sub-recipient for an additional TBCP grant of $52.3 million.

Replace and Remove Program

On July 15, 2022, we were notified that we were an approved participant in the Federal Communication Commission’s Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “Replace and Remove Program”), designed to reimburse providers of communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of covered communications equipment or services, that have been deemed to pose a national security risk, from their networks. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, we were allocated up to approximately $207 million in reimbursement amounts to cover documented and approved costs to remove and securely destroy all ZTE communications equipment and services in our U.S. networks and replace such equipment. The Replace and Remove Program requires that we complete our first request for reimbursement for services performed under the program no later than July 14, 2023 and that we complete the project no later than one year from submitting our initial reimbursement request. We are currently assessing the impact of this program on our financial statements and anticipate that we will be able to meet the deadlines and requirements of the program. At September 30, 2022, we established a receivable for $2.1 million of costs for which we expect to be reimbursed under the program.

CBRS Auction

During the third quarter of 2020, we participated in the FCC’s Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) auction for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) in the 3.5 GHz spectrum band. These PALs are licensed on a county-by-

Table of Contents

county basis and are awarded for a 10-year renewable term. We were a winning bidder for PALs located strategically throughout the United States at a total cost of approximately $20.4 million. In the third quarter of 2022, we surrendered a portion of the PALs that we won in the auction in exchange for repayment of the approximately $1.1 million paid for such licenses and entered into a Consent Decree with the FCC with respect to such surrender and receipt of the remaining licenses. In connection with the awarded licenses, we will have to achieve certain CBRS spectrum build out obligations. We currently expect to comply with all applicable requirements related to these licenses.

Presentation of Revenue

Effective July 1, 2021, we began to categorize Mobility revenue and Fixed revenue as either “consumer” or “business” based upon the characteristics of our subscribers. Effective October 1, 2021, our statement of operations separately reflects Construction revenue. All periods presented have been adjusted to conform to these presentation updates.

Presentation of Operating Expenses

Effective January 1, 2021, we changed our presentation of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations by combining the previously disclosed Termination and Access Fees with Engineering and Operations as the newly represented Cost of communications services and other. In addition, the previously disclosed Sales, Marketing and Customer Service expenses are now combined with the previously disclosed General and Administrative expenses within the newly represented Selling, General and Administrative expenses. The change in presentation was made to better align our results with industry standards. Cost of construction services continues to be broken out separately and all depreciation and amortization continues to be shown separately.

A comparison of our segment results for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 is as follows:

International Telecom. Revenues within our International Telecom segment increased $4.7 million, or 5.5%, to $90.0 million from $85.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of an increase in Fixed and Mobility subscribers within all of our international markets. In addition, our International Telecom segment recognized an increase in Carrier Services revenue due to increases in transport and access fees as well as roaming revenues as a result of increased tourism in certain markets. These increases, however, were partially offset by the $1.4 million scheduled step down in federal support revenues in the US Virgin Islands.

Operating expenses within our International Telecom segment increased by $4.5 million, or 6.2%, to $76.6 million from $72.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of an increase in direct costs, equipment costs, sales and marketing expenses to support the expansion of our subscriber base and additional costs for our continued investment in network expansion and enhancement.

As a result, our International Telecom segment’s operating income increased $0.2 million, or 1.5%, to $13.4 million from $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

US Telecom. Revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $10.7 million, or 13.1%, to $92.2 million from $81.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of the improved operating performance of our Alaska operations, and a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results partially offset by a $3.1 million reduction in construction revenue related to the FirstNet Transaction as well as a reduction in roaming revenue due to certain restructured carrier contracts in our western United States operations.

Table of Contents

Operating expenses within our US Telecom segment increased $0.2 million to $91.5 million from $91.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results and increases in other expenses being incurred in connection with both the FirstNet Transaction and the CARES Act-funded build-out of rural broadband operations. These increases were partially offset by decreases in both FirstNet construction costs of $2.5 million and transaction-related expenses, pertaining to the Alaska Transaction, of $8.8 million.

As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating income (loss) increased by $10.5 million to income of $0.7 million from a loss of $(9.8) million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Communications Services Revenue

Mobility Revenue. Our Mobility revenue consists of retail revenue generated within both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments by providing retail mobile voice and data services over our wireless networks as well as through the sale and repair services of related equipment, such as handsets and other accessories, to our retail subscribers. Mobility revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 10.8%, to $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Of this increase, $2.3 million related to an increase in revenue from business customers while revenue from consumers increased by $0.5 million. The increase in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Mobility revenue increased by $2.7 million, or 11.3%, to $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Mobility revenue increased in each of our markets as total revenue from business and consumer customers increased by $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The net increases were the result of improved retail and marketing strategies which lead to an increase in subscribers in all of our markets and an increase in equipment and services revenues in certain markets.

●

US Telecom. Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $0.3 million, or 14.3%, to $2.4 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this increase, revenue from business and consumer customers increased by $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

We expect that Mobility revenue within our International Telecom segment may increase as a result of an increase in subscribers. However, such growth may be partially offset due to increased competition. We expect that Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment will decrease over time as we put more emphasis on other revenue offerings.

Fixed Revenue. Fixed revenue is primarily generated by broadband, voice, and video service revenues provided to retail and business customers over our wireline networks. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment also includes revenue from the Connect America Fund Phase II program awards in the western United States and Alaska, as well as revenue from the Alaska Universal Service Fund. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue also includes funding under the FCC’s High Cost Program in the US Virgin Islands. Fixed revenue increased by $15.6 million, or 16.5%, to $110.2 million from $94.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this increase, $12.9 million relates to revenue from business customers while the remaining increase of $2.7 million pertains to consumers. The increase in Fixed revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 2.1%, to $58.6 million from $57.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in fixed broadband revenue as a result of an increase in broadband subscribers in all of our international markets as well as an increase in pricing within certain markets partially offset by the previously disclosed and scheduled $1.4 million step down in revenue from the FCC’s High Cost Program within our Viya operations.

●

US Telecom. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $14.5 million, or 39.0%, to $51.7 million from $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was mostly a result of a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results, and to a lesser extent an increase, within the western United States, related to an increase in usage for both business and consumer subscribers to support our subscribers’ increased demand for remote working.

Fixed revenue within our International Telecom segment may further decrease as a result of the future scheduled step downs in USF funding in the US Virgin Islands, a decrease in demand for our video services due to subscribers using alternative methods to receive video content, and if COVID-19 travel related restrictions are reinstated in some of our international markets. Such decreases, however, may be offset as a result of an increase in demand for

Table of Contents

broadband and other data services from consumers, businesses and government, driven by such trends as the popularity of video and audio streaming, demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions, and macro-economic and population growth in places like the Cayman Islands and Guyana.

Within our US Telecom segment, Fixed revenue is expected to increase as both our Alaska operations and our western United States operations further deploy broadband access to both consumers and businesses.

Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue is generated by both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes international long-distance services, roaming revenues generated by other carriers’ customers roaming into our retail markets, transport services and access services provided to other telecommunications carriers. Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes services provided under the FirstNet Transaction, wholesale roaming revenues, the provision of network switching services, tower lease revenue and other services provided to other carriers. Carrier Services revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $34.6 million from $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 23.1%, to $3.2 million from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of an increase in transport and access services as well as higher roaming revenues from an increase in tourism within certain international markets.

●

US Telecom. Carrier Services revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.6%, to $31.4 million from $31.9 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease was primarily related to the $4.1 million revenue reduction in our western United States operations as a result of the restructure of certain carrier contracts partially offset by a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results.

Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue may continue to increase if tourism continues to move toward a return to pre-pandemic levels. Also, within our International Telecom segment, we expect that Carrier Services revenue from our international long-distance business in Guyana may decrease as consumers seek to use alternative technology services to place long-distance calls. In addition, such revenue may decline as the result of the implementation, by the Government of Guyana, of passed legislation which terminates our right to be the exclusive provider of domestic Fixed and international long-distance service in Guyana. While the loss of our exclusive rights may cause an immediate reduction in our Carrier Services revenue, the complete impact of the new legislation to our operations will not be fully known until the Government of Guyana makes the terms and conditions of licenses issued to two of our competitors available to us. Over the longer term, such declines in Carrier Services revenue may be offset by increased Fixed revenue from broadband services to consumers and enterprises in Guyana, increased Mobility revenue from an increase in regulated local calling rates in Guyana or possible economic growth within that country.

Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue is expected to increase as a result of our transition away from our legacy wholesale roaming business to other carrier and consumer-based infrastructure services. Such increases may be partially offset by the impact of continued reduced contractual wholesale roaming rates and imposed revenue caps with our Carrier customers.

The most significant competitive factor we face within our US Telecom segment is competition from other providers of such shared infrastructure services, including the leasing of our tower space and transport services, as well as the extent to which our carrier customers choose to roam on our networks.

Other Communications Services Revenue. Other Communications Services revenue includes miscellaneous services that the operations within our International Telecom segment provide to retail subscribers. Other Communications Services revenue increased to $0.3 million from $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

Construction Revenue

Construction revenue represents revenue generated within our US Telecom segment for the construction of network cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Construction revenue decreased to $3.3 million from $6.4 million, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. As of September 30, 2022, 70% of the cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement were completed and we expect another 5% of the total build to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 with the remainder to be completed in 2023.

Other Revenue

Renewable Energy Revenue. We did not generate any renewable energy revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021 as a result of the Vibrant Transaction.

Managed Services Revenue. Managed Services revenue is generated within both our International and US Telecom segments and includes network, application, infrastructure, and hosting services. Managed Services revenue decreased by $0.1 million, or 2.0%, to $4.9 million from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

International Telecom. Managed Services revenue in our International Telecom segment increased slightly to $1.4 million, or 7.7%, from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

US Telecom. Within our US Telecom segment, Managed Services revenue decreased to $3.5 million, or 7.9%, from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We expect that Managed Services revenue may increase in our both our US and International Telecom segments as a result of our continued effort to sell certain Managed Services solutions to both our consumer and business customers in all of our markets.

Operating Expenses

Cost of communication services and other. Cost of communication services and other are charges that we incur for voice and data transport circuits (in particular, the circuits between our Mobility sites and our switches), internet capacity, video programming costs, access fees we pay to terminate our calls, telecommunication spectrum fees and direct costs associated within our managed services businesses. Cost of communication services and other also includes expenses associated with developing, operating, upgrading and supporting our telecommunications networks, including the salaries and benefits paid to employees directly involved in the development and operation of those businesses, as well as bad debt reserves and the cost of handsets and customer resale equipment incurred by our retail businesses.

Cost of communication services and other increased by $8.2 million, or 11.6%, to $78.9 million from $70.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net increase in cost of communication services and other, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, cost of communication services and other increased by $1.6 million, or 4.7%, to $35.6 million from $34.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was the result of increased equipment costs, primarily the cost of handsets, as a result of an increase in subscribers due to seasonal promotions and marketing strategies.

●

US Telecom. Cost of communication services and other within our US Telecom segment increased by $6.7 million, or 18.3%, to $43.3 million from $36.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was a result of a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results and an increase in data transport costs in connection with the fully constructed cell sites as part of the First Net Transaction. These increases were

Table of Contents

partially offset by a reduction of costs within our private network business which terminated a majority of its operations in early 2022.

We expect that cost of communication services and other may increase within our International Telecom segment due to an expected increase in roaming costs if tourism continues to return to pre-pandemic levels. Within the US Telecom segment, these expenses are expected to increase in connection with our expected increase in carrier services revenue, an increase in the expenses associated with our funding award under the CARES Act and anticipated expenses in connection with our performance related to the construction phase of our FirstNet Transaction which is expected to be completed in 2023. In addition, we expect cost of services may increase as a result of continued inflationary pressure, issues facing the global supply chain and geopolitical uncertainty.

Cost of construction revenue. Cost of construction revenue includes the expenses incurred in connection with the construction of and the delivery to AT&T of cell sites in accordance with our FirstNet Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, cost of construction revenue decreased to $3.3 million from $5.9 million as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. As of September 30, 2022, 70% of the cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement were completed and we expect another 5% of the total build to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 with the remainder to be completed in 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits we pay to sales personnel, customer service expenses and the costs associated with the development and implementation of our promotional and marketing campaigns. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include salaries, benefits and related costs for general corporate functions including executive management, finance and administration, legal and regulatory, facilities, information technology and human resources as well as internal costs associated with our performance of due-diligence and integration related costs associated with acquisition activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million, or 8.8%, to $58.1 million from $53.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 9.1%, to $26.5 million from $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was incurred within all of our international markets primarily as a result of an increase in both our sales and marketing efforts and customer support capabilities to support the expansion of our subscriber base.

●

US Telecom. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased within our US Telecom segment by $1.1 million, or 4.9%, to $23.7 million from $22.6 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was the result of a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results and an increase in such costs in connection with the First Net Transaction partially offset by a reduction of costs within our private network business which terminated a majority of its operations in early 2022.

●

Renewable Energy. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our Renewable Energy segment incurred a nominal amount of selling, general and administrative expenses.

●

Corporate Overhead. Selling, general and administrative expenses within our corporate overhead increased by $1.4 million, or 21.9%, to $7.8 million from $6.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to increased professional services and travel-related expenses.

We expect an increase in these costs as a result of expected costs associated with our recent funding award under the CARES Act, our recently received grant to bring fiber connectivity to certain areas in southern Apache County, Arizona and the cost impact of the construction phase of the FirstNet Transaction which is expected to be completed during 2023. Our Corporate Overhead segment may also experience an increase in these expenses to support

Table of Contents

our expanding operations. In addition, we expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses may increase as a result of continued inflationary pressure, issues facing the global supply chain and geopolitical uncertainty.

Transaction-related charges. Transaction-related charges include the external costs, such as legal, tax, accounting and consulting fees directly associated with acquisition and disposition-related activities, which are expensed as incurred. Transaction-related charges do not include internal costs, such as employee salary and travel-related expenses, incurred in connection with acquisitions or dispositions or any integration-related costs.

We incurred $3.4 million and $5.7 million of transaction-related charges during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the depreciation and amortization charges we record on our property and equipment.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $4.5 million, or 15.6%, to $33.3 million from $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, within our segments, consisted primarily of the following:

●

International Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased within our International Telecom segment by $0.8 million, or 6.0%, to $14.1 million from $13.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was a result of recent upgrades and expansions to this segment’s network.

●

US Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased within our US Telecom segment by $4.1 million, or 28.9%, to $18.3 million from $14.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of a full three months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results.

●

Corporate Overhead. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased within our corporate overhead by $0.4 million, or 33.3%, to $0.8 million from $1.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated in recent periods.

We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase within all of our segments as we acquire tangible assets to expand or upgrade our telecommunications networks.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions. Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions include the amortization of customer relationships and trade names related to our completed acquisitions.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions decreased by $0.4 million, or 11.1%, to $3.2 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of the scheduled amortization of costs incurred in previous periods.

We expect that amortization of intangibles from acquisitions will decrease as such costs continue to amortize as scheduled.

Loss on disposition of long-lived assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a $0.5 million loss on the disposal of certain assets, primarily within our Renewable Energy segment related to the final settlement of the Vibrant Transaction.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss on the disposition of miscellaneous long-lived assets of $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investment balances and were nominal amounts during both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Interest expense. We incur interest expense on the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility, the Alaska Credit Facility (beginning in July 2021 and in conjunction with the completion of the Alaska Transaction), the Viya Debt, the One Communications Debt and the Receivables Credit Facility (each as defined below). Interest expense also includes commitment fees, letter of credit fees and the amortization of debt issuance costs.

Interest expense increased to $5.5 million from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as additional interest expense was incurred as a result of new borrowings under the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility, the Alaska Credit Facility and the Receivables Credit Facility as well as an increase in interest rates on those facilities.

We expect that interest expense may increase in future periods as a result of increased interest rates and borrowings.

Other income (expenses). Other income (expenses) represents miscellaneous non-operational income earned and expenses incurred.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expenses) was $1.9 million of income primarily related to gains from our noncontrolling investments partially offset by losses on foreign currency transactions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other income (expenses) was an expense of $0.4 million which was primarily related to losses from our noncontrolling investments and on foreign currency transactions. These losses were partially offset by miscellaneous income generated during the quarter.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 16.9% and 6.0%, respectively.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million in relation to a pretax loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate and (ii) discrete items including $0.9 million of expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate, (ii) certain transactional charges incurred in connection with our recent acquisition that had no tax benefit, and (iii) a discrete expense of $0.5 million for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

Our effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. Our consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or onetime items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from our accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex applications of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, we could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax reflected an allocation of income of $1.0 million and losses of $1.9 million generated by our less than wholly owned subsidiaries for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Changes in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax increased by $0.1 million, or 4.3%, to an allocation of $2.4 million of income from an allocation of $2.3 million of income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of increased profitability at our less than wholly owned subsidiaries partially offset by an increase in our ownership of certain less than wholly owned subsidiaries in certain international markets.

●

US Telecom. Within our US Telecom segment, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax decreased by $2.3 million to an allocation of losses of $1.4 million from an allocation of losses of $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result the completion of the Alaska Transaction.

Net income (loss) attributable to ATN International, Inc. stockholders. Net income (loss) attributable to ATN International, Inc. stockholders was a loss of $2.8 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On a per diluted share basis, net income (loss) was a loss of $0.25 and $0.22 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such per share losses were impacted by accrued preferred dividends of $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Reconciling items refer to corporate overhead costs and consolidating adjustments

A comparison of our segment results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 is as follows:

International Telecom. Revenues within our International Telecom segment increased $9.9 million, or 3.9%, to $265.2 million from $255.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of an increase in Fixed and Mobility subscribers within our international markets. In addition, our US Virgin Islands and Bermuda markets recognized an increase in Carrier Services revenue as a result of increased tourism in those markets. These increases, however, were partially offset by a $4.1 million reduction in federal support revenues in the US Virgin Islands.

Operating expenses within our International Telecom segment increased by $14.0 million, or 6.5%, to $228.3 million from $214.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in direct costs, primarily roaming expenses due to increased tourism in the US Virgin Islands and Bermuda, equipment expenses due to increased handset sales and an increase in sales and marketing expenses to support the expansion of our subscriber base.

As a result, our International Telecom segment’s operating income decreased $4.1 million, or 10.0%, to $36.9 million from $41.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

US Telecom. Revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $109.1 million, or 68.4%, to $268.5 million from $159.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results partially offset by a $19.4 million reduction in construction revenue related to the FirstNet Transaction as well as a reduction in roaming revenue due to the restructuring of certain carrier contracts in our western United States operations.

Operating expenses within our US Telecom segment increased $102.4 million to $272.7 million from $170.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results and increases in other

expenses being incurred in connection with both the FirstNet Transaction and the CARES Act-funded build-out of rural broadband operations. These increases were partially offset by decreases in FirstNet construction costs of $19.4 million and transaction-related expenses, primarily related to the Alaska Transaction, of $7.9 million.

As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating loss decreased by $6.7 million to a loss of $4.2 million from a loss of $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Renewable Energy. Until the completion of the Vibrant Transaction on January 27, 2021, we distributed generation solar power to commercial and industrial customers under the Vibrant name in India. Accordingly, we did not generate revenue or incur operating expenses within our Renewable Energy segment subsequent to that date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated revenue, incurred operating expenses and reported an operating loss of $3.4 million, $4.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Communications Services Revenue

Mobility Revenue. Mobility revenue increased by $5.3 million, or 7.0%, to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $75.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of this increase, $6.9 million related to an increase in revenue from business customers while revenue from consumers declined by $1.7 million. The increase in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Mobility revenue increased by $6.6 million, or 9.6%, to $75.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Mobility revenue increased in each of our markets as total revenue from business customers was the majority of that increase. The increases were the result of improved retail and marketing strategies which lead to an increase in subscribers and equipment sales in certain markets.

●

US Telecom. Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $1.4 million, or 18.9%, to $6.0 million from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this decrease, $1.2 million related to a decrease in revenue from consumers within our retail operations due to a decrease in subscribers while the remaining $0.2 million decrease was the result of a decrease in revenue from our private networks business.

Fixed Revenue. Fixed revenue increased by $99.4 million, or 44.2%, to $324.1 million from $224.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this increase, $67.9 million and $31.5 million relate to revenue from business and consumer customers, respectively. The increase in Fixed revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue was consistent at $175.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as increases in fixed broadband subscribers in all of our international markets and data pricing in certain markets was offset by the previously disclosed and scheduled $4.1 million reduction in revenue from the FCC’s High Cost Program.

●

US Telecom. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $99.4 million to $148.8 million from $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was a result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results, and a $2.9 million increase, within the western United States, related to an increase in usage for both business and consumer subscribers to support our subscribers’ increased demand for remote working.

Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue increased by $28.4 million, or 36.6%, to $106.1 million from $77.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 42.9%, to $10.0 million, from $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of an increase in transport and access services and in tourism, primarily within the US Virgin Islands and Bermuda, that resulted in increased roaming revenues.

●

US Telecom. Carrier Services revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $25.4 million, or 35.9%, to $96.1 million from $70.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was primarily related to a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results partially offset by a decrease of $11.0 million in our western United States operations as a result of the restructure of certain carrier contracts.

Other Communications Services Revenue. Other Communications Services revenue increased to $1.1 million from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Construction Revenue

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Construction revenue decreased to $8.6 million from $28.0 million, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during 2022 as compared to 2021. As of September 30, 2022, 70% of the cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement were completed and we expect another 5% of the total build to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 with the remainder to be completed in 2023.

Other Revenue

Renewable Energy Revenue. As a result of the Vibrant Transaction, we did not generate any renewable energy revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and generated $0.4 million of renewable energy revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Within our US Telecom segment, Managed Services revenue increased to $9.0 million from $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, included in our 2022 results

Operating Expenses

Cost of communication services and other. Cost of communication services and other increased by $41.7 million, or 36.2%, to $229.8 million from $168.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net increase in cost of communication services and other, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, cost of communication services and other increased by $3.0 million, or 2.9%, to $104.7 million from $101.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was the result of an increase in roaming expense, due to an increase in related roaming revenues from higher levels of travel and tourism in the US Virgin Islands and Bermuda, as well as an increase in equipment expenses. Primarily the cost of handsets, as a result of improved retail and marketing strategies which lead to an increase in subscribers and handset sales.

●

US Telecom. Cost of communication services and other within our US Telecom segment increased by $58.5 million, or 86.8%, to $125.8 million from $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was a result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results, and an increase in data transport costs in connection with the fully constructed cell sites as part of the FirstNet Transaction and an increase within our wholesale long-distance voice services business to support its increased revenues. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our private network business which terminated its operations in early 2022.

Cost of construction revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, cost of construction revenue decreased to $8.6 million from $28.0 million as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during 2022 as compared to 2021. As of September 30, 2022, 70% of the cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement were completed and we expect another 5% of the total build to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2022 with the remainder to be completed in 2023.

●

US Telecom. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased within our US Telecom segment by $33.5 million, or 87.0%, to $72.0 million from $38.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was the result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, being included in our 2022 results and an increase in such costs in connection with the First Net Transaction partially offset by a reduction of costs within our private network business which terminated its operations in early 2022.

●

Renewable Energy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our Renewable Energy segment incurred a nominal amount and $0.5 million of selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, as a result of the Vibrant Transaction.

●

Selling, general and administrative expenses within our corporate overhead increased by $1.8 million, or 8.4%, to $23.2 million from $21.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to an increase in professional service expenses, integration costs associated with the completion of the Alaska Transaction and an increase in travel related costs.

Transaction-related charges. We incurred $4.4 million and $7.8 million of transaction-related charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $31.8 million, or 46.4%, to $100.4 million from $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

●

International Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased within our International Telecom segment by $3.0 million, or 7.5%, to $43.1 million from $40.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was the result of a full nine months of our Alaska operations, which were acquired on July 22, 2021, included in our 2022 results and the depreciation expense recorded on recent capital expenditures.

●

US Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased within our US Telecom segment by $30.0 million to $54.5 million from $24.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of the Alaska Transaction.

●

Renewable Energy. Our Renewable Energy segment did not record any depreciation and amortization expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the Vibrant Transaction.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions. Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions increased by $5.3 million to $9.7 million from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of the Alaska Transaction which was completed on July 22, 2021.

Loss on disposition of long-lived assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on the disposition of long-lived assets of $3.9 million. Of this amount, $2.1 million was incurred in our US Telecom segment relating to the disposal of certain assets while $1.0 million was incurred in our International Telecom segment as a result of the modification of agreements for the use of other certain assets, while the remaining amount pertains to the final settlement of the Vibrant Transaction within our Renewable Energy segment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss on the disposition of long-lived assets of $0.6 million, primarily related to the Vibrant Transaction, partially offset by gains within the US Telecom segment.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $13.1 million from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as additional interest expense was incurred as a result of new borrowings under the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility, the Alaska Credit Facility and the Receivables Credit Facility as well as an increase in interest rates.

Other income (expenses). For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expenses) was $3.4 million of income primarily related to gains from our noncontrolling investments partially offset by increased expenses associated with certain employee benefit plans and losses on foreign currency transactions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income (expense) was income of $1.9 million which was primarily related to gains from our noncontrolling investments partially offset by a net loss on foreign currency transactions.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was 21.5% and (98.8%), respectively.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.4 million in relation to a pretax loss of $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate, (ii) a $2.1 million net expense recognized discretely to record a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realizable based on the weight of positive and negative evidence and (iii) discrete items including a $3.3 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration, and a $1.7 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate, (ii) certain transactional charges incurred in connection with our recent acquisition that had no tax benefit, and (iii) discrete items including a $3.4 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to statute expiration and a $1.5 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, we could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax reflected an allocation of $0.8 million of losses and $1.0 million of income generated by our less than wholly owned subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Changes in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax, within our segments, consisted of the following:

●

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax decreased by $1.1 million, or 18.6%, to an allocation of $4.8 million of income from an allocation of $5.9 million of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily as a result of reduced profitability at our less than wholly owned subsidiaries partially offset by an increase in our ownership in certain international markets.

●

US Telecom. Within our US Telecom segment, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax increased by $1.5 million to an allocation of losses of $5.6 million from an allocation of losses of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of the Alaska Transaction, which was completed on July 22, 2021 and reduced profitability in certain less than wholly owned subsidiaries within our US Mobility operations.

Net income (loss) attributable to ATN International, Inc. stockholders. Net income (loss) attributable to ATN International, Inc. stockholders was a loss of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to income of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

On a per diluted share basis, net income (loss) was a loss of $0.49 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to income of $0.08 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Such per share amounts were impacted by accrued preferred dividends of $3.5 million and $2.3 million.

Regulatory and Tax Issues

We are involved in several regulatory and tax proceedings. A material and adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and future operations. For a discussion of ongoing proceedings, see Note 14 o the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report

Tax Reform

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, has resulted in significant changes to the US corporate income tax system and the US Virgin Islands mirror code which replaces “United States” with “US Virgin Islands” throughout the Internal Revenue Code. The Tax Act transitions international taxation from a worldwide system to a modified territorial system and includes two base erosion prevention measures on non-US earnings, which has the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to US taxation as global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), eliminates the deduction of certain payments made to related foreign corporations, and imposes a minimum tax if greater than regular tax under the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”). These changes became effective beginning in 2018 but did not have an impact on us in the initial or following years. Based on our forecasted income for 2022, we are not currently projecting a GILTI inclusion. We do not expect we will be subject to BEAT and therefore have not included any tax impacts of BEAT in our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have met our operational liquidity needs and have funded our capital expenditures and acquisitions through a combination of cash-on-hand, internally generated funds, proceeds from dispositions, borrowings under our credit facilities and seller financings. We believe our current cash, cash equivalents, short term investments

Table of Contents

and availability under our current credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months for working capital needs and capital expenditures.

Total liquidity. As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $77.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Of this amount, $29.7 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries and is indefinitely invested outside the United States. In addition, we had approximately $399.2 million of debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, as of September 30, 2022. How and when we deploy our balance sheet capacity will figure prominently in our longer-term growth prospects and stockholder returns.

Uses of Cash

Acquisitions and investments. We have historically funded our acquisitions with a combination of cash-on-hand, borrowings under our credit facilities as well as equity investor and seller financings.

Alaska Transaction. On July 22, 2021, Alaska Communications entered into a new debt financing in connection with the Alaska Transaction. See Acquisition of Alaska Communications System Group, Inc.

We continue to explore opportunities to expand our telecommunications business or acquire new businesses and telecommunications licenses in the United States, the Caribbean and elsewhere. Such acquisitions may require external financing. While there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms we will be able to acquire any such businesses or licenses or make such investments, such acquisitions may be completed through the issuance of shares of our capital stock, payment of cash or incurrence of additional debt. From time to time, we may raise capital ahead of any definitive use of proceeds to allow us to move more quickly and opportunistically if an attractive investment materializes.

Cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities decreased by $297.1 million to $94.6 million from $391.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the $339.5 million of cash used for the Alaska Transaction, cash used in investing activities increased by $42.4 million, primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures of $43.1 million to $114.0 million from $70.9 million. Offsetting this increase was a reduction in reimbursable capital expenditures of $4.7 million to $4.0 million from $8.7 million.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $328.7 million to $12.8 million from $341.4 million. Excluding cash provided by the Alaska Transaction of $291.5 million (including $220.0 million of debt financing and $71.5 million of equity financing provided by a non-controlling third party), cash provided by financing activities decreased by $37.1 million primarily related to a reduction in borrowings, net of repayments, under our credit facilities partially offset by a reduction in expenditures for the repurchase of non-controlling interests and repurchases of our common stock.

Working Capital. Historically, we have internally funded our working capital needs. Pursuant to the FirstNet Agreement, AT&T has the option to repay construction costs, with interest, over an eight-year period. To fund the working capital needs created by AT&T’s option to extend its payment terms, we completed the Receivables Credit Facility, as discussed below, on March 26, 2020.

Capital expenditures. Historically, a significant use of our cash has been for capital expenditures to expand and upgrade our telecommunications networks and to expand our previously owned renewable energy operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we spent approximately $114.0 million and $70.9 million, respectively, on capital expenditures relating to our telecommunications networks and our business support

Table of Contents

systems of which $4.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively, are reimbursable. The following notes our capital expenditures, by operating segment, for these periods (in thousands):


	Capital Expenditures

2021		32,485		36,157		2,280		70,922

(1)

Corporate and other items refer to corporate overhead costs and consolidating adjustments

We are continuing to invest in our telecommunication networks along with our operating and business support systems in many of our markets. Such investments primarily relate to the upgrade and expansion of our networks and are expected to total approximately $150 million to $160 million, net of reimbursable amounts, for the full year 2022.

We expect to fund our current capital expenditures primarily from our current cash balances, cash generated from operations and our existing credit facilities.

Income taxes. We have historically used cash-on-hand to make payments for income taxes. Our policy is to allocate capital where we believe we will get the best returns and to date has been to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. As we continue to reinvest our remaining foreign earnings, no additional provision for income taxes has been made on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

Dividends. We use cash-on-hand to make dividend payments to our stockholders when declared by our Board of Directors. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our Board of Directors declared $2.7 million of dividends to our stockholders which includes a $0.17 per share dividend declared on September 15, 2022 and paid on October 7, 2022. We have declared quarterly dividends since the fourth quarter of 1998.

Stock Repurchase Plan. On September 19, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (the “2016 Repurchase Plan”). We repurchased $0.9 million and $2.6 million of our common stock under the 2016 Repurchase Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had $19.5 million authorized and available for share repurchases under the 2016 Repurchase Plan.

Sources of Cash

Cash provided by operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $79.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $31.3 million was primarily related to a decrease in net income of $8.1 million offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $37.1 million.

CoBank Credit Facility

On April 10, 2019, we entered into a credit facility, with CoBank, ACB and a syndicate of other lenders (as amended, the “2019 CoBank Credit Facility”). The 2019 CoBank Credit Facility provides for a $200 million revolving credit facility that includes (i) up to $75 million for standby or trade letters of credit and (ii) up to $10 million under a swingline sub-facility. Approximately $26.0 million of performance letters of credit have been issued and remain outstanding and undrawn as of September 30, 2022. The 2019 CoBank Credit Facility matures on April 10, 2024.

Amounts borrowed under the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% to 2.25% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%. Swingline loans bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin for base rate loans. The base rate is equal to the higher of (i) 1.00% plus the higher of (x) LIBOR for

Table of Contents

an interest period of one month and (y) LIBOR for an interest period of one week; (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility) plus 0.50% per annum; and (iii) the Prime Rate (as defined in the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility). The applicable margin is determined based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility). Under the terms of the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility, we must also pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.375% of the average daily unused portion of the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility over each calendar quarter.

The 2019 CoBank Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a financial covenant that imposes a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA as well as covenants limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. Our investments in “unrestricted” subsidiaries and certain dividend payments to our stockholders are not limited unless the Total Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.75 to 1.0. The Total Net Leverage Ratio is measured each fiscal quarter and is required to be less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.0. In the event of a Qualifying Acquisition (as defined in the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility), the Total Net Leverage Ratio increases to 3.25 to 1.0 for the subsequent three fiscal quarters. On November 7, 2022, we amended the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility to allow for the incurrence of certain indebtedness related to payment guarantees in connection with our Remove and Replace project.

As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants, had $71.0 million outstanding in borrowings and, net of the $26.0 million of outstanding performance letters of credit, had $103.0 million of availability under the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2022, there are no outstanding interest rate hedge agreements associated with the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility.

Alaska Credit Facility

We capitalized $6.6 million of fees associated with the Alaska Credit Facility which are being amortized over the life of the debt and $4.9 million were unamortized as of September 30, 2022.

The key terms and conditions of the Alaska Credit Facility include the following:

The Alaska Credit Facility is non-recourse to the Company and is secured by substantially all of the personal property and certain material real property owned by Alaska Communications.

Alaska Communication’s interest rate swap, that had been designated as a cash flow hedge with an interest rate of 1.6735%, expired on June 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, there are no outstanding interest rate hedge agreements associated with the Alaska Credit Facility.

Alaska Term Facility

The Alaska Term Facility contains events of default customary for facilities of this type.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $0.7 million outstanding under the Alaska Term Facility.

FirstNet Receivables Credit Facility

The maturity date for each loan will be set by CoBank and will match the weighted average maturity of the certain receivables financed.

Interest on the loans accrues at a fixed annual interest rate to be quoted by CoBank at the time of the delayed draw.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $44.3 million outstanding, of which $5.7 million was current, and $25.4 million of availability under the Receivables Credit Facility. We capitalized $0.9 million of fees associated with the Receivables

Credit Facility which are being amortized over the life of the debt and $0.8 million were unamortized as of September 30, 2022.

Viya Debt

We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have entered into a $60.0 million loan agreement (the “Viya Debt”) with Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”). The Viya Debt agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on additional debt, guaranties, sale of assets and liens) and a financial covenant that limits the maximum ratio of indebtedness to annual operating cash flow to 3.5 to 1.0 (the “Net Leverage Ratio”). This covenant is tested on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year. Interest is paid quarterly at a fixed rate of 4.0% per annum and principal repayment is not required until maturity on July 1, 2026. Prepayment of the Viya Debt may be subject to a fee under certain circumstances. The debt is secured by certain assets of our Viya subsidiaries and is guaranteed by us.

We paid a fee of $0.9 million in 2016 to lock the interest rate at 4% per annum over the term of the Viya Debt. The fee was recorded as a reduction to the Viya Debt carrying amount and is being amortized over the life of the loan.

As of September 30, 2022, $60.0 million of the Viya Debt remained outstanding and $0.4 million of the rate lock fee was unamortized.

On May 5, 2022, RTFC agreed to amend the Net Leverage Ratio to 7.0 to 1.0 through the maturity date of July 1, 2026. This covenant will be tested on December 31, 2022.

One Communications Debt

We have an outstanding loan from HSBC Bank Bermuda Limited (the “One Communications Debt”) which is scheduled to mature on November 30, 2022 and bears interest at the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging between 2.5% to 2.75% per annum paid quarterly.

As of September 30, 2022, $3.8 million of the One Communications Debt was outstanding.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

Internally generated funds. The key factors affecting our internally generated funds are demand for our services, competition, regulatory developments, economic conditions in the markets where we operate our businesses and industry trends within the telecommunications.

Restrictions under Credit Facility. Our 2019 CoBank Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes.

In addition, the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility contains a financial covenant that imposes a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the 2019 CoBank Credit Facility.

Capital markets. Our ability to raise funds in the capital markets depends on, among other things, general economic conditions, the conditions of the telecommunications and renewable energy industries, our financial performance, the state of the capital markets and our compliance with SEC requirements for the offering of securities.

Foreign Currency

We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies, primarily the Guyana Dollar, to US Dollars at the appropriate rates as of the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying value of these assets and liabilities attributable to fluctuations in rates are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. Income statement accounts are translated using the monthly average exchange rates during the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from a reporting entity’s functional currency must first be remeasured from the applicable currency to the legal entity’s functional currency. The effect of this remeasurement process is reported in other income within our income statement. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in losses on foreign currency transactions. During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $0.7 million in losses on foreign currency transactions. We will continue to assess the impact of our exposure to the Guyana Dollar.

Inflation

Several of our markets have experienced an increase in operating costs, some of which we believe, is attributable to inflation. If inflation continues or worsens, it could negatively impact our Company by increasing our operating expenses. Inflation may lead to cost increases in multiple areas across our business, for example, rises in the prices of raw materials and manufactured goods, increased energy rates, as well as increased wage pressures and other expenses related to our employees. In particular, where we have agreed to undertake infrastructure build outs on a fixed budget for our carrier customers or by accepting government grants, inflation may result in build costs that exceed our original budget given the long delays experienced in procuring equipment and materials due to global supply chain delays. To the extent that we are unable to pass on these costs through increased prices, revised budget estimates, or offset them in other ways, they may impact our financial condition and cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Estimates

There were no changes to critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Translation and Remeasurement. We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies, primarily the Guyana Dollar, to US Dollars at the appropriate rates as of the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying value of these assets and liabilities attributable to fluctuations in rates are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. Income statement accounts are translated using the monthly average exchange rates during the year.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from a reporting entity’s functional currency must first be remeasured from the applicable currency to the legal entity’s functional currency. The effect of this remeasurement process is reported in other income on our income statement.

Employee Benefit Plans. We sponsor pension and other postretirement benefit plans for employees of certain subsidiaries. Net periodic pension expense is recognized in our income statement. We recognize a pension or other postretirement plan’s funded status as either an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheet. Actuarial gains and

losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and amortized through other income in subsequent periods.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. As of September 30, 2022, we had $300.2 million of outstanding variable rate debt which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates. We believe that a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would result in a $3.0 million change in our annual interest expense.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
