Quarterly Dividend Increase Approved

On April 29, 2022, Cogent's Board approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.880 per share payable on May 27, 2022 to shareholders of record on May 13, 2022. This second quarter 2022 regular dividend represents an increase of $0.025 per share, or 2.9%, from the first quarter 2022 regular dividend of $0.855 per share and an annual increase of 12.8% from the second quarter 2021 dividend of $0.780 per share. 

The payment of any future dividends and any other returns of capital will be at the discretion of the Board and may be reduced, eliminated or increased and will be dependent upon Cogent's financial position, results of operations, available cash, cash flow, capital requirements, limitations under Cogent's debt indentures and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Impact of COVID-19

Cogent continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying responses by governments around the world. The recent spread of variants of COVID-19 has introduced new uncertainty.  

The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the spread of variant strains, and related government restrictions on Cogent's business is unknown as a significant amount of uncertainty and volatility remains. Cogent does not know the ultimate scope and duration of the pandemic, the availability, efficacy and uptake of vaccines and therapeutic treatments, government actions that have been taken, or may be taken in the future in response to the pandemic and global economic conditions during and after the pandemic.  Cogent has experienced a slight slowdown in the availability and delivery of networking equipment but Cogent believes it can adequately manage the operation, maintenance, upgrading and growth of its network. A worsening or prolonged slowdown may impact our ability to expand and augment our network.  Most Cogent employees worldwide returned to its offices on a full-time basis in the first quarter of 2022.  Cogent is implementing measures to protect its workforce, but it can provide no assurance that these measures will be sufficient.  Cogent's decisions to require its employees to return to its offices on a full-time basis and to implement a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, where legally permitted, may impede its ability to retain existing employees or attract new employees.  Moreover, Cogent's results of operations may be adversely affected in the future as the pandemic and the related government restrictions continue or are reintroduced. Cogent may also experience slowdowns in new customer orders, find it difficult to collect from customers who are experiencing financial distress, undergo an increase in customer churn, encounter difficulties accessing the buildings and locations where Cogent installs new services and serves existing customers, or have difficulties procuring, shipping or installing necessary equipment on its network. Cogent may find that the impact of the pandemic on its vendors and their respective workforces may slow the delivery of services from these vendors to Cogent. Cogent may also find that its largest customer base, which is served primarily in its multi-tenant office buildings, may be adversely affected by falling demand for commercial office space in central business districts as companies located in these buildings elect not to return to their office space either on a temporary or even permanent basis or slow the pace of opening new offices.   In addition, Cogent's corporate customer base may reduce their overall number of locations due to adverse economic conditions or new working configurations which may adversely affect Cogent's number of corporate connections and service revenues.  As a result, the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may have prolonged effects that impact Cogent's business well into the future.  These and other risks are described in more detail in Cogent's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and it Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Conference Call and Website Information

Cogent will host a conference call with financial analysts at 8:30 a.m. (ET) on May 5, 2022 to discuss Cogent's operating results for the first quarter of 2022 and to discuss Cogent's expectations for full year 2022.

Non-GAAP gross profit represents service revenue less network operations expense, excluding equity-based compensation and amounts shown separately (depreciation and amortization expense). Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by total service revenue.  Management believes that non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin are relevant measures to provide investors. Management uses them to measure the margin available to the company after network service costs, in essence a measure of the efficiency of the Company's network.

See Schedules of Non-GAAP measures below for definitions and reconciliations to GAAP measures.

Schedules of Non-GAAP Measures  EBITDA, EBITDA, as adjusted, EBITDA margin and EBITDA, as adjusted, margin

EBITDA represents net cash flows provided by operating activities plus changes in operating assets and liabilities, cash interest expense and cash income tax expense.  Management believes the most directly comparable measure to EBITDA calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company also believes that EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of issuers.  EBITDA, as adjusted, represents EBITDA plus net gains (losses) on asset related transactions. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by total service revenue. EBITDA, as adjusted, margin is defined as EBITDA, as adjusted, divided by total service revenue.

The Company believes that EBITDA, EBITDA, as adjusted, EBITDA margin and EBITDA as adjusted margin are useful measures of its ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business.  The measurements are an integral part of the internal reporting and planning system used by management as a supplement to GAAP financial information. EBITDA, EBITDA, as adjusted, EBITDA margin and EBITDA, as adjusted, margin are not recognized terms under GAAP and accordingly, should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of results as reported under GAAP, but rather as a supplemental measure to GAAP. For example, these measures are not intended to reflect the Company's free cash flow, as it does not consider certain current or future cash requirements, such as capital expenditures, contractual commitments, and changes in working capital needs, interest expenses and debt service requirements. The Company's calculations of these measures may also differ from the calculations performed by its competitors and other companies and as such, its utility as a comparative measure is limited.

EBITDA, and EBITDA, as adjusted, are reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities in the table below.

Утверждено Ежеквартальное Увеличение Дивидендов

29 апреля 2022 года Совет директоров Cogent утвердил регулярные ежеквартальные дивиденды в размере 0,880 доллара на акцию, подлежащие выплате 27 мая 2022 года акционерам record 13 мая 2022 года.

Выплата любых будущих дивидендов и любых других доходов от капитала будет осуществляться по усмотрению Правления и может быть уменьшена, исключена или увеличена и будет зависеть от финансового положения Cogent, результатов операций, имеющихся денежных средств, движения денежных средств, требований к капиталу, ограничений по долговым обязательствам Cogent и других факторов сочтено Правлением уместным.

Воздействие COVID-19

На Cogent продолжает оказывать влияние пандемия COVID-19 и сопутствующие ответные меры правительств по всему миру. Недавнее распространение вариантов COVID-19 внесло новую неопределенность.  

Продолжающееся воздействие пандемии COVID-19, включая распространение различных штаммов, и связанных с этим правительственных ограничений на бизнес Cogent неизвестно, поскольку сохраняется значительная неопределенность и волатильность. Cogent не знает конечных масштабов и продолжительности пандемии, наличия, эффективности и использования вакцин и терапевтических методов лечения, действий правительства, которые были предприняты или могут быть предприняты в будущем в ответ на пандемию, а также глобальных экономических условий во время и после пандемии.  Cogent столкнулась с небольшим замедлением доступности и поставки сетевого оборудования, но Cogent считает, что может адекватно управлять эксплуатацией, обслуживанием, модернизацией и ростом своей сети. Ухудшение или длительное замедление может повлиять на нашу способность расширять и расширять нашу сеть.  Большинство сотрудников Cogent по всему миру вернулись в свои офисы на постоянной основе в первом квартале 2022 года.  Cogent принимает меры по защите своей рабочей силы, но не может гарантировать, что эти меры будут достаточными.  Решения Cogent требовать от своих сотрудников возвращения в свои офисы на постоянной основе и внедрять мандат на вакцинацию от COVID-19, где это разрешено законом, могут помешать ее способности удерживать существующих сотрудников или привлекать новых сотрудников.  Более того, результаты деятельности Cogent могут отрицательно сказаться в будущем, поскольку пандемия и связанные с ней правительственные ограничения продолжаются или вводятся вновь. Cogent также может столкнуться с замедлением новых заказов клиентов, испытывать трудности с получением средств от клиентов, испытывающих финансовые трудности, испытывать увеличение оттока клиентов, испытывать трудности с доступом к зданиям и местам, где Cogent устанавливает новые услуги и обслуживает существующих клиентов, или испытывать трудности с закупкой, доставкой или установкой необходимого оборудования в своей сети. Компания Cogent может обнаружить, что воздействие пандемии на ее поставщиков и их соответствующую рабочую силу может замедлить предоставление услуг от этих поставщиков компании Cogent. Cogent также может обнаружить, что на ее крупнейшей клиентской базе, которая обслуживается в основном в офисных зданиях с несколькими арендаторами, может негативно сказаться падение спроса на коммерческие офисные помещения в центральных деловых районах, поскольку компании, расположенные в этих зданиях, предпочитают не возвращаться в свои офисные помещения ни на временной, ни даже на постоянной основе, ни замедлите темпы открытия новых офисов.   Кроме того, корпоративная клиентская база Cogent может сократить общее количество филиалов из-за неблагоприятных экономических условий или новых рабочих конфигураций, что может негативно сказаться на количестве корпоративных подключений Cogent и доходах от услуг.  В результате глобальные экономические последствия пандемии COVID-19 могут иметь длительные последствия, которые повлияют на бизнес Cogent в будущем.  Эти и другие риски более подробно описаны в Годовом отчете Cogent по форме 10-K за год, закончившийся 31 декабря 2021 года, и в Ежеквартальном отчете по форме 10-Q за квартал, закончившийся 31 марта 2022 года.

Cogent проведет телефонную конференцию с финансовыми аналитиками в 8:30 утра (по восточному времени) 5 мая 2022 года, чтобы обсудить операционные результаты Cogent за первый квартал 2022 года и обсудить ожидания Cogent на весь 2022 год.

GAAP gross profit is defined as total service revenue less network operations expense, depreciation and amortization and equity based compensation included in network operations expense.  GAAP gross margin is defined as GAAP gross profit divided by total service revenue.

(4)

Non-GAAP gross profit represents service revenue less network operations expense, excluding equity-based compensation and amounts shown separately (depreciation and amortization expense). Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by total service revenue.  Management believes that non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin are relevant measures to provide investors. Management uses them to measure the margin available to the company after network service costs, in essence a measure of the efficiency of the Company's network.

(5)

Excludes equity-based compensation expense of $5,231, $6,738, $6,425, $5,907 and $5,912 in the three month periods

Графики показателей, не относящихся к GAAP, EBITDA, скорректированная EBITDA, рентабельность по EBITDA и скорректированная EBITDA, рентабельность

Показатель EBITDA представляет собой чистые денежные потоки, полученные от операционной деятельности, плюс изменения в операционных активах и обязательствах, процентные расходы по денежным средствам и расходы по налогу на прибыль.  Руководство считает, что наиболее непосредственно сопоставимым показателем с показателем EBITDA, рассчитанным в соответствии с общепринятыми принципами бухгалтерского учета в Соединенных Штатах, или GAAP, являются чистые денежные средства, полученные от операционной деятельности. Компания также считает, что показатель EBITDA часто используется аналитиками по ценным бумагам, инвесторами и другими заинтересованными сторонами при оценке эмитентов.  Скорректированный показатель EBITDA представляет собой показатель EBITDA плюс чистые прибыли (убытки) по операциям, связанным с активами. Рентабельность по EBITDA определяется как показатель EBITDA, деленный на общий доход от услуг. Скорректированный показатель EBITDA Маржа определяется как скорректированный показатель EBITDA, деленный на общий доход от услуг.

Компания считает, что показатель EBITDA, скорректированный показатель EBITDA, рентабельность по EBITDA и скорректированная рентабельность по EBITDA являются полезными показателями ее способности обслуживать долг, финансировать капитальные затраты и расширять свой бизнес.  Измерения являются неотъемлемой частью системы внутренней отчетности и планирования, используемой руководством в качестве дополнения к финансовой информации по ОПБУ. EBITDA, скорректированная EBITDA, рентабельность по EBITDA и скорректированная рентабельность по EBITDA не признаются в соответствии с GAAP и, соответственно, не должны рассматриваться изолированно или как замена анализа результатов, представленных в соответствии с GAAP, а скорее как дополнительный показатель к GAAP. Например, эти показатели не предназначены для отражения свободного денежного потока Компании, поскольку они не учитывают определенные текущие или будущие потребности в денежных средствах, такие как капитальные затраты, договорные обязательства и изменения в потребностях в оборотном капитале, процентных расходах и требованиях к обслуживанию долга. Расчеты Компании по этим показателям также могут отличаться от расчетов, выполняемых ее конкурентами и другими компаниями, и поэтому их полезность в качестве сравнительного показателя ограничена.

Показатель EBITDA и скорректированный показатель EBITDA сверены с чистыми денежными средствами, полученными от операционной деятельности, в таблице ниже.
