The earnings call highlighted significant strategic advancements with the acquisition agreement and strong expansion in greenfield markets, alongside record ARPU and slight growth in adjusted EBITDA. However, these positives were balanced by declines in high-speed data revenue, overall revenue, and subscriber numbers, particularly in traditional video services.
Company Guidance
In the second quarter of 2025, WideOpenWest (WOW!) reported a slight year-over-year decrease in high-speed data (HSD) revenue to $104.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased marginally to $70.3 million with an EBITDA margin of 48.8%. The company experienced a decline in total revenue by 9.2% to $144.2 million, largely due to decreases in video (down 39.9%) and telephony (down 10.3%) revenues. WOW!'s focus on greenfield expansion was highlighted by the addition of 15,500 new homes in this market, maintaining a penetration rate of 16%, and an adjusted free cash flow of $22.4 million. The company's ARPU reached a record high of $75.30, driven by a rate increase and demand for higher-speed tiers. Despite losing 3,900 HSD subscribers overall, WOW! gained 2,300 in greenfield markets and 1,100 in Edge-Out expansion markets. Total capital expenditures were $47.9 million, with a significant portion allocated to greenfield and Edge-Out projects, aligning with the company's strategy to transition to a fiber-to-the-home broadband model.
