Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call highlighted a number of significant financial and operational achievements — record revenue and adjusted OIBDA, materially higher free cash flow, a successful $300 million rights offering, business revenue growth, and clear progress on network upgrades and rural buildouts. Offsetting these positives are pressures from declining data subscribers and consumer revenue (driven by the exit of video and wireless substitution), episodic fiber outages with associated repair costs and slow customer win-back, dependence on promotions for postpaid wireless growth, and a near-term increase in CapEx that will reduce free cash flow in 2026. On balance, the positive results, strong cash position, successful capital raise, and clear strategic roadmap for DOCSIS 4.0/5G deployments and Alaska buildouts outweigh the operational and timing challenges.Company Guidance
Record Annual Revenue
Reported total revenue of $1.0 billion for the fiscal year, a 3% increase year-over-year, and flat revenue of $262 million in the fourth quarter versus the prior year quarter.
Record Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA reached a record $403 million for the full year, up 12% year-over-year; fourth-quarter adjusted OIBDA was $90 million, up 7% year-over-year.
Material Free Cash Flow Improvement
Generated $146 million of free cash flow for the full year, increasing by over 70% compared to 2024, driven by record financial growth and positive working capital swings.
Successful Capital Raise
Completed a fully subscribed rights offering, producing approximately $300 million in net proceeds; year-end consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $429 million (inclusive of offering proceeds).
Business Segment Strength
Business revenue grew 7% for the full year and 1% in the fourth quarter; business gross margin increased to 80.1% for the year (78.3% in Q4), supported by a strong upgrade cycle.
Wireless & Convergence Progress
Consumer wireless lines grew ~2% year-over-year to 199,000 consumer lines (207,500 total wireless lines including 8,500 business lines). Postpaid lines peaked at 165,400 and 62% of postpaid lines are sold as part of a bundle (up from 57% at end of 2024).
Network Upgrades & Service Expansion
Progressing DOCSIS 4.0-capable HFC and wireless upgrades: offering 2.5 Gbps where fiber middle mile exists, upgrading Anchorage core (1.8 GHz plant, reduced node sizes) with plans to scale to 5 Gbps and beyond.
Buildout & BEAD Funding Potential
Completed iHUC one net network build-out to deliver 2.5 Gbps to Delta; provisionally awarded approximately $120 million in BEAD funds by the State of Alaska (subject to NTIA approval) to offset capital costs for expansion.
Operational Resilience
Rapid restoration after outages: Dutch Harbor fiber break repaired in under two weeks; Typhoon Helong service to two villages fully restored in under four months; fiber on a third-party network was fully restored during 2025.
