Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call highlights a strong financial year with record revenue and adjusted OIBDA, meaningfully higher free cash flow, successful capital raise (~$300M rights offering), wireless subscriber momentum and clear network upgrade plans (DOCSIS 4.0, 2.5–5 Gbps targets). Offsets include a decline in data subscribers (–3%), consumer revenue pressure from video exit and data losses (–2%), near-term CapEx peaking in 2026 (~$290M) that will depress free cash flow next year, operational disruptions from fiber breaks and weather, and uncertainty around final BEAD funding timing. Overall, the positives (record profitability, cash generation, strategic funding and technology roadmap) outweigh the operational and timing risks.
Company Guidance
Management guided that 2026 should be a stable year with a peak CapEx of approximately $290 million (including ~$20 million carryover from 2025) before stepping down toward historical CapEx of 15–20% of revenue, which will drive proportionately lower free cash flow versus 2025’s $146 million (up >70% YoY); 2025 results referenced on the call included $1.0 billion of revenue (up 3%), record adjusted OIBDA of $403 million (up 12%) and Q4 adjusted OIBDA of $90 million (up 7%), consumer gross margin of 70.7% for the year (69.7% in Q4) and business gross margin of 80.1% for the year (78.3% in Q4). At year-end the company had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $429 million (inclusive of ~ $300 million net proceeds from a fully subscribed rights offering), total principal debt of ~ $1.0 billion, net leverage per the credit agreement of 2.3x (consolidated net leverage 1.6x), and $377 million of undrawn credit capacity net of letters of credit. Operational priorities and guidance include completing Alaska plan build-outs in 2026, significant network investment (2.5 Gbps service where fiber middle mile exists, Anchorage core upgrades to a 1.8 GHz plant, and scaled DOCSIS 4.0‑capable HFC rollouts to 5 Gbps+), continued rural wireless build and convergence initiatives, expected repair costs from recent fiber breaks in the low single‑digit millions with Dearing service restored in summer, a provisional BEAD award of ~ $120 million (subject to NTIA timing/approval), and subscriber metrics to note: 199,000 consumer wireless lines (207,500 total wireless including 8,500 business), consumer wireless growth of 2% YoY with 3,500 consumer net adds (6,700 postpaid adds) and a peak postpaid base of 165,400, bundling at ~62% of postpaid lines (up from 57%) and ~40% of broadband customers having one or more wireless lines, while data subs declined 3% to 151,200 (down 4,500 Y/Y and 1,200 in Q4).
Record Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA
Reported record full-year revenue of $1.0 billion (up 3% YoY) and record adjusted OIBDA of $403 million (up 12% YoY). Fourth-quarter revenue was $262 million (flat YoY) and adjusted OIBDA was $90 million (up 7% YoY).
Strong Free Cash Flow and Liquid Balance Sheet
Generated $146 million in free cash flow for the year (up over 70% YoY). Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $429 million (inclusive of ~ $300 million net proceeds from a fully subscribed rights offering).
Rights Offering Completed to Bolster Flexibility
Completed a fully subscribed rights offering yielding ~ $300 million in net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes and potential strategic acquisitions/investments.
Wireless Subscriber Momentum and Convergence Gains
Consumer wireless lines grew ~2% YoY to 199,000 lines; total wireless lines ended at 207,500 (including 8,500 business lines). Peak postpaid reached ~165,400 lines. Bundling increased: ~62% of postpaid lines sold as part of a bundle (up from 57% in 2024); ~40% of broadband customers have one or more wireless lines.
Business Segment Growth and High Margins
Business revenue grew 7% for the year (1% in Q4). Business gross margin improved to 80.1% for the year (78.3% in Q4), driven by revenue growth and lower direct costs.
Network Investment and Technology Roadmap
Advancing DOCSIS 4.0-capable HFC upgrades, offering 2.5 Gbps where fiber middle mile exists, upgrading Anchorage core to a 1.8 GHz plant, and planning broader rollouts to reach 5 Gbps and beyond to improve speeds and reliability.
Completed Key Buildouts and Rural Expansion Progress
Completed the iHUC one-net fiber build that brings 2.5 Gbps service to Delta area; remain on track to complete Alaska plan build-out commitments in 2026 and extend the Alaska plan with the new Alaska Connect fund to 2034.
Provisional BEAD Award Could Offset CapEx
Provisionally awarded approximately $120 million in BEAD funds by the State of Alaska (subject to NTIA approval), which could offset capital costs for expansion into unserved locations.
