Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 2, 2007, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The text of the press release is included as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), such exhibit and the information set forth therein and herein are deemed to be furnished to, and shall not be deemed to be filed with or incorporated by reference into any filing with the Commission.

Non-GAAP Measures

Our press release and financial tables include the following non-GAAP financial information:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, consists of net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, asset impairment expense, gain (loss) on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), extraordinary items, other income (expense), income (loss) from discontinued operations and income (loss) from sale of discontinued operations. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be similar to Adjusted EBITDA measures presented by other companies, is not a measurement under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is an important performance measurement for our investors because it gives them a metric to analyze our results, exclusive of certain non-cash items and items which do not directly correlate to our business of selling and provisioning telecommunications services. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides further insight into our current performance and is a measure that we use to evaluate our results and performance of our management team.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as defined by us, is a calculation which divides reported net income (loss) before gain (loss) on sale of assets, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, asset impairment expense, early termination interest penalties, gain (loss) on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), extraordinary items, income (loss) from discontinued operations and income (loss) from sale of discontinued operations (collectively referred to as Adjusted Net Income (Loss)), and after accreted and deemed dividend on convertible preferred stock by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, which dilutive calculations take into account the effect of the adjustments. Our definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share may not be similar to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share presented by other companies, are not measurements under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our statements of operations for net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share.


We believe the presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share assists readers in further understanding our results of operations and trends from period to period, consistent with management’s internal evaluation of our results for a variety of measures including strategic planning, capital expenditures, and executive compensation. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share provide to investors a measurement that allows comparison of current and prior periods, by removing certain items that do not directly correlate to the results of our business of selling and provisioning telecommunications services.

We provide a complete reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share so readers have access to the detail and general nature of the adjustments made.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, consists of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net cash used in the purchase of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow, as defined above, may not be similar to Free Cash Flow measures presented by other companies, is not a measurement under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We believe Free Cash Flow provides a measure of our ability, after making our capital expenditures and other investments in our infrastructure, to meet scheduled debt payments. We use Free Cash Flow to monitor the impact of our operations on our cash reserves and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our scheduled debt maturities and other financing activities, including discretionary refinancings and retirements of debt. Because Free Cash Flow represents the amount of cash generated or used in operating activities and used in the purchase of property and equipment before deductions for scheduled debt maturities and other fixed obligations (such as capital leases, vendor financing and other long-term obligations), you should not use it as a measure of the amount of cash available for discretionary expenditures.

PRIMUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS

McLEAN, VA.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—August 2, 2007—PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (OTCBB: PRTL), an integrated communications services provider, today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Second Quarter 2007 Highlights:

 

  $227 Million Net Revenue

 

  $16 Million Adjusted EBITDA

 

  $8 Million Income from Operations

 

  $113 Million Cash Balance at Quarter End ($105 Million Unrestricted) Excludes Net Proceeds of $19 Million Equity Issuance in July

PRIMUS reported second quarter 2007 net revenue of $227 million, consistent with the prior quarter and down from $250 million in the second quarter 2006. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $6 million, compared to a net loss of ($3) million in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($220) million in the second quarter 2006. As a result, the Company reported $0.05 and $0.03 of basic and diluted net income per common share, respectively, in the second quarter 2007, as compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) and ($1.93) in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively.

“In the first quarter, based on our strengthened financial results during 2006, we successfully raised over $75 million in cash and significantly extended our near-term debt maturities. In the second quarter, operating results modestly exceeded those in the first quarter. We exchanged $5 million of debt for equity and, subsequent to the quarter, raised an additional $19 million in cash through the sale of equity, eliminating the accelerated maturity provisions in our 5% Exchangeable Senior Notes,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Primus.

“Our operating results were again accomplished in an environment of declining legacy voice and dial-up Internet revenues, a condition which we expect will continue as we attempt to moderate the decline. That revenue decline has been partially offset by the continued growth of our broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting services revenues. In the second quarter, revenues from those services grew 5% sequentially, reaching an annualized amount in excess of $210 million.


“To date, growth in these products has been severely constrained by the lack of available cash for capital expenditures, and sales and marketing. However, successful execution of our recent liquidity-enhancing transactions now enables us to provide significantly more support for our growth products. As a result, our primary focus during the second half of 2007 and into 2008 will be targeted investments to bolster the rates of growth of our broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting services,” Mr. Singh stated.

“The investment program is expected to include the following initiatives: opening of new and expansion of existing data centers in Canada and Australia; expansion of the DSL broadband footprint and network capacity to offer higher speed DSL services in Australia; and expansion, as warranted, of the Company’s direct sales force and telemarketing capabilities across our target regions. The resources to support these efforts will include both increased selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense and capital expenditures, much of which will occur in the latter half of 2007, while the bulk of the anticipated revenue and contribution is not expected to occur before 2008.

“We expect those investments to result in a $10 million to $15 million increase in capital expenditures over our previous guidance for 2007. Thus, our revised capital expenditure guidance for full year 2007 is now in the range of $40 million to $45 million. With approximately $5 million of additional operating investment planned during the second half of 2007, we expect our full year Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $60 million to $65 million,” Mr. Singh stated.

In light of improved operating performance over the course of 2006, PRIMUS announced a two-year Transformation Strategy as it entered 2007. The Company’s performance during the first two quarters of 2007 underscores that, while much has already been accomplished, much is yet to be done. As PRIMUS moves forward over the balance of the period, it will continue to be guided by its stated strategy.

PRIMUS 2007-2008 Transformation Strategy

 

  A) Strengthen the balance sheet opportunistically through potential de-levering transactions and equity capital infusions;

 

  B) Significantly improve the Company’s non-sales and marketing cost structure through increased outsourcing and/or off-shoring at lower cost locations globally and maintain an aggressive cost management program;

 

  C) Focus on improving sales productivity and margin enhancements by leveraging the Company’s network assets and increasing the revenue mix in favor of higher margin growth services; and

 

2


  D) Opportunistically sell non-strategic assets and businesses and use the proceeds either to accelerate growth of high-margin products or to strengthen the balance sheet.

Consistent with its strategy opportunistically to sell non-strategic assets and businesses, the Company previously announced a goal to realize between $50 million and $100 million in cash proceeds from monetizing low-margin/low-growth businesses before the end of 2008, with a modest impact on Adjusted EBITDA. Those proceeds, in turn, could be applied to fund increased levels of investment in the Company’s high margin growth products – both organically and through acquisitions – as well as to reduce debt.

“As previously stated, we expect overall revenue to decline in 2007 as compared to 2006, primarily as a result of the declining usage and pricing in the legacy voice business and also as we continue to prune or divest low-margin, or non-core revenue streams. Our objective, however, is to generate increased contribution from growth products such as broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting, such that, over time, such contribution exceeds the corresponding declines in legacy voice and dial-up Internet products,” Mr. Singh stated. “Our future growth and profitability are dependent upon accomplishing that goal.”

Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results:

The Company sold its Australian domain name business in the first quarter 2007 and has signed an agreement to sell part of its German operations. From an accounting perspective, as a result of these events, the businesses have been treated as “discontinued operations,” and therefore, those operating results are excluded from the individual line items of the statement of operations in all prior period results. Additionally, the operating results and the gain from sale of discontinued operations are shown as separate line items on the statement of operations. In 2006, the revenue and net income from these operations was $9 million and $1 million, respectively.

“Second quarter 2007 revenue was $227 million, stable with the prior quarter and down 9% from $250 million in the second quarter 2006. While net revenue remained the same sequentially, offsetting movements were comprised of a $9 million increase from the weakening of the United States dollar, offset by a $2 million decrease in low-margin wholesale services revenue, $3 million decrease in Canadian and European prepaid services and a $4 million decrease in retail services revenue,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer. “The $4 million decline in retail revenue reflects a continued decline in legacy voice and dial-up Internet services revenue offset by continued growth from high-margin broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting revenues.”

Net revenue from broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting services was $53 million (23% of net revenue) for the quarter, as compared to $51 million (22% of net revenue) in the prior quarter. Geographic retail revenue mix was 32% coming from Asia-Pacific, 28% from Canada, 9% from Europe and 12% from the United States. The mix of net revenue was 81% retail (53% residential and 28% business) and 19% wholesale.

SG&A expense in the second quarter was $69 million (30.3% of net revenue), up $1 million from $68 million in the prior quarter (30.1% of net revenue) and down $3 million from $72

 

3


million (28.6% of net revenue) in the year-ago quarter. The second quarter results include $1 million for the termination of a leased facility agreement and $1 million in professional fees related to the implementation of a new income tax accounting standard.

Income from operations was $8 million in the second quarter 2007, an improvement over the $7 million achieved in the prior quarter and the loss from operations of ($228) million in the second quarter 2006 (which included a $209 million asset impairment write-down and $13 million in loss from sale or disposal of assets).

Second quarter 2007 Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in the attached schedule, of $16 million improved by $2 million as compared to $14 million in the prior quarter and was a $5 million increase from the year-ago quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA of $11 million. The improvement over the first quarter resulted, in part, from pruning cost of revenue.

Interest expense for the second quarter 2007 was $16 million, up from $13 million in the prior quarter and $14 million in the second quarter 2006. The increase is attributable to a full quarter’s interest related to the 14  1/4% Senior Secured Notes, issued in February and March 2007.

Net income was $6 million in the second quarter 2007 (including a $2 million loss on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and a $15 million gain on foreign currency transactions), as compared to a net loss of ($3) million in the first quarter 2007 (including a gain from sale of discontinued operations of $6 million, a $6 million loss from early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and a $3 million gain on foreign currency transactions). The second quarter 2006 net loss of ($220) million included a $209 million asset impairment write-down, $13 million in losses from sale or disposal of assets, a $7 million gain on sale of discontinued operations, a $5 million gain from early extinguishment of debt and a $7 million gain on foreign currency transactions.

Basic and diluted net income per common share was $0.05 and $0.03, respectively, for the second quarter 2007. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was ($0.02) and ($1.93) in the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. Adjusted Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share, as calculated in the attached schedule, was ($0.05) for the second quarter 2007, compared to ($0.05) for the first quarter 2007 and ($0.15) in the year-ago quarter.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” and determining the impact of other events as they relate to income taxes on its second quarter results. Therefore, certain figures presented in the press release, may, depending on the outcome of the assessment, differ from those that will be presented in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Any potential revisions to the income tax benefit or to the carrying value of the income tax-related assets and liabilities would be non-cash items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PRIMUS ended the second quarter 2007 with a cash balance of $113 million, including $8 million of restricted funds, as compared to $112 million, including $9 million of restricted funds,

 

4


as of March 31, 2007. During the second quarter, $12 million in cash was provided by operating activities. This total reflects $16 million of Adjusted EBITDA, $8 million from working capital, $1 million from a tax refund, offset by $11 million in cash interest payments. In addition, $11 million of cash was used for capital expenditures; $3 million was used for scheduled principal reductions; and $1 million was generated from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company raised $19 million net cash proceeds from the issuance of 22.5 million shares of its common stock.

Free Cash Flow for the second quarter 2007, as calculated in the attached schedule, was $1 million (comprised of $12 million provided by operating activities and $11 million utilized for capital expenditures) as compared to negative ($13) million in the prior quarter and negative ($1) million in the second quarter 2006. The sequential improvement to the second quarter 2007 Free Cash Flow is primarily caused by the timing of interest payments of $11 million during the second quarter 2007 as compared to $19 million paid in the prior quarter.

The principal amount of PRIMUS’s long-term debt obligations as of June 30, 2007 was $684 million, as compared to $688 million at March 31, 2007.

The Company and/or its subsidiaries will evaluate and determine on a continuing basis, depending upon market conditions and the outcome of events and uncertainties described within any “forward-looking statement” descriptions in this release and its SEC filings, the most efficient use of the Company’s capital and resources, including investment in the Company’s network, systems, and product initiatives, purchasing, refinancing, exchanging, tendering for or retiring certain of the Company’s outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means, issuing equity or purchasing its equity in the open market to the extent permitted by existing covenants.
