Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call communicated an overall positive operational and financial result for FY2025 highlighted by record revenue and adjusted OIBDA, materially stronger free cash flow, a successful rights offering and clear network investment plans to drive future growth. These positives are tempered by a decline in data subscribers, a modest fall in consumer revenue due to the video exit and third-party network disruptions, plus a near-term CapEx peak and some funding timing uncertainty (BEAD). Overall, management portrays confidence in the company’s trajectory while acknowledging short-term execution and funding risks.
Company Guidance
The company guided to a “stable” 2026 operating year with 2026 capital expenditures expected to peak at approximately $290 million (including about $20 million carried over from 2025) before stepping down over time toward its historical long‑run range of 15–20% of revenue; as a result, free cash flow is expected to be proportionately lower year‑over‑year due to higher CapEx and normal working‑capital swings. Management reiterated plans to complete the Alaska‑plan build‑out in 2026 (and extend the plan via the Alaska Connect fund to 2034), continue 5G and rural wireless deployment, scale HFC/DOCSIS‑4.0 broadband (rolling out 2.5 Gbps where fiber middle mile exists and targeting 5 Gbps+), and noted repair costs from recent fiber breaks will be in the low single‑digit millions. For context they reported 2025 results of roughly $1.0 billion of revenue (up ~3%), record adjusted OIBDA of $403 million (up ~12%), Q4 revenue of $262 million and Q4 adjusted OIBDA of $90 million (up ~7%), 2025 CapEx net of grants of $224 million, free cash flow of $146 million (up >70% YoY), consolidated cash of $429 million (including ~ $300 million net proceeds from a fully subscribed rights offering), total debt of ~ $1.0 billion, net leverage of 2.3x (1.6x consolidated), $377 million of undrawn credit capacity, a provisional BEAD award of ~ $120 million (subject to NTIA), and operating metrics including ~199,000 consumer wireless lines (207,500 total wireless), a postpaid peak of ~165,400 lines, +3,500 consumer wireless additions (including ~6,700 postpaid), and 151,200 data subscribers (down ~3%, -4,500 Y/Y).
Record Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA
Total revenue exceeded $1.0 billion for FY2025, a 3% increase year-over-year; record adjusted OIBDA of $403 million, up 12% for the year. Fourth-quarter revenue was $262 million (flat YoY) and adjusted OIBDA was $90 million, up 7% YoY.
Strong Free Cash Flow and Liquidity
Generated $146 million in free cash flow for FY2025, up over 70% vs. 2024. Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $429 million (inclusive of rights offering proceeds). Credit facility has $377 million of undrawn capacity (net of letters of credit).
Successful Rights Offering and Balance Sheet Flexibility
Rights offering was fully subscribed, generating approximately $300 million in net proceeds to support corporate flexibility, potential strategic M&A and investments. Total principal debt is ~ $1.0 billion with net leverage of 2.3x (1.6x consolidated net leverage including parent cash and non-voting preferred).
Wireless Growth and Convergence Momentum
Consumer wireless lines grew 2% YoY to 199,000; total wireless lines ended at 207,500 (including 8,500 business lines). Peak postpaid lines reached ~165,400 driven by promotional activity; ~62% of postpaid lines are sold as part of bundles (up from 57% in 2024); ~40% of broadband customers have one or more wireless lines.
Business Segment Strength
Business revenue increased 7% for the year (and 1% in Q4), driven by a strong upgrade cycle. Business gross margin expanded to 80.1% for the year (78.3% in Q4).
Network Upgrades and Expansion
Significant network initiatives underway: offering 2.5 Gbps where fiber middle mile exists, core upgrades in Anchorage (1.8 GHz plant, smaller nodes), scaling DOCSIS 4.0-capable HFC to enable multi-gig speeds (targeting 5 Gbps and beyond), and on-track completion of Alaska plan build-out commitments.
Operational Resilience and Local Restoration
Rapid restoration after major outages: Typhoon Helong service restored to two affected villages in under four months; Dutch Harbor fiber break repaired in under two weeks. Company expects only modest repair costs (low single-digit millions) and highlights strong field execution.
