Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 31, 2008, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (“we” or us”) issued a press release announcing our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. 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 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS

McLEAN, VA — (MARKET WIRE) – July 31, 2008 — PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, Incorporated (OTCBB: PRTL), a global, facilities-based integrated communications services provider, today announced its results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter 2008 Highlights:

 

   

$236 Million Net Revenue, Up $10 Million or 5% From Prior Quarter

 

   

$15 Million Income from Operations, Up $5 Million From Prior Quarter

 

   

$24 Million Adjusted EBITDA, Up $9 Million From Prior Quarter

 

   

$64 Million of Debt Principal Reduction

 

   

Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Adjusted Upward

PRIMUS reported second quarter 2008 net revenue of $236 million, up $10 million from $226 million in both the prior and year-ago quarters. The Company reported $44 million of net income for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $3 million in the prior quarter and net income of $12 million in the second quarter 2007. As a result, the Company reported basic and diluted net income per common share of $0.31 and $0.24, respectively, in the second quarter 2008, as compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) in the prior quarter and basic and diluted net income per common share of $0.10 and $0.07, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.

“We are encouraged by our second consecutive quarter of net revenue growth. Based on this performance we are revising upward our 2008 revenue guidance. We are now targeting positive year-over-year revenue growth versus our earlier guidance of a 2% to 5% decline in 2008,” said K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PRIMUS. “We are also pleased that continued increases in our growth products have again eclipsed the decline in legacy services.”

“Growth in net revenue, together with continued cost management, has generated $24 million in Adjusted EBITDA, up sharply from $15 million in the first quarter. Even after excluding the $6 million regulatory award involving excessive pricing by Telstra, Adjusted EBITDA results represent a sequential increase of 17%.”


Also during the quarter, as previously announced, PRIMUS reduced outstanding debt principal by $63 million through private exchange transactions. The Company successfully issued $67 million principal amount of new debt plus $4.7 million in cash in exchange for $130 million principal amount of outstanding debt. This transaction reduced overall debt principal levels by 10%, reduced debt maturing in the latter half of 2009 from $28.1 million to $22.8 million, and reduced debt maturing in the latter half of 2010 from $133.6 million to $57.6 million.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, a Canadian affiliate, of which the Company currently owns slightly less than 50% of the equity, sold certain primarily rural WIMAX spectrum assets (representing approximately 10% of its spectrum population coverage) for cash consideration of $5 million. “While we continue to pursue other potential sales of select assets to improve liquidity and to narrow geographical focus to our major franchises, prevailing uncertainty in the capital markets combined with a weak overall economic outlook is likely to extend our time horizon to meet the goal of generating $50 million in cash proceeds from assets sales, particularly if valuation parameters are not at acceptable levels,” Mr. Singh said.

“In light of our revised revenue guidance and operating performance, and assuming currency exchange rates remain at current levels, we are adjusting upward our full year 2008 Adjusted EBITDA target to the vicinity of $75 million, versus a previous range of $65 million to $80 million. As in past quarters, that outcome will be influenced by the success we achieve in our expanded sales and marketing efforts. We continue to expect capital expenditures for the year to be in the $25 million to $30 million range, approximately $5 million lower than our initial guidance,” Mr. Singh concluded.

Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

“Second quarter 2008 net revenue was $236 million, up 5% or $10 million from both the prior and year-ago quarters. The $10 million revenue increase as compared to the prior quarter was comprised of a $7 million increase in wholesale services revenue, a $3 million increase from the weakening of the United States dollar (primarily as compared to the Australian dollar) and stable retail services revenue,” said Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer. “Our retail services revenue reflects continued increases from our growth products of broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting revenues which, for the second quarter in a row, slightly exceeded the decline in legacy voice and dial-up Internet services revenue. The continued favorable retail revenue results lend validity to our strategy of making network investments and shifting resources to sales and marketing to promote our growth products.”

Net revenue from broadband, VOIP, local, wireless, data and hosting services was $62 million (26% of net revenue) for the second quarter 2008, up from $60 million (26% of net revenue) in the prior quarter—a sequential growth rate of 3%. The mix of net revenue was 79% retail (53% residential and 26% business) and 21% wholesale. The second quarter retail revenue mix of 79% compares to 82% and 81% in the prior and year-ago quarters,


respectively. Geographic retail revenue mix, as a percent of total revenue, was comprised of 32% from Asia-Pacific, 29% from Canada, 7% from Europe and 11% from the United States.

Net revenue less cost of revenue was $94 million or 39.6% of net revenue in the second quarter as compared to $84 million and 37.3% in the prior quarter and $85 million and 37.4% in the year-ago quarter. In April 2008, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) issued a Final Determination related to unconditional local loop services connection and call diversion charges. As a result, the Company received a cash refund of a portion of the previously paid excessive fees plus interest. The second quarter 2008 results included a $6 million benefit to cost of revenue from the refund mandated by the ACCC.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the second quarter was $70 million (29.7% of net revenue), up $1 million from $69 million in the prior quarter but down as a percentage of revenue from 30.6%, and up $1 million from $69 million (30.3% of net revenue) in the year-ago quarter. The sequential increase is partially attributable to a $1 million increase in advertising expense.

Income from operations was $15 million in the second quarter 2008 (including the $6 million regulatory award), an improvement of $5 million from the prior quarter (which included a $3 million gain from the sale of a minority equity investment) and an improvement of $7 million from the second quarter 2007.

Second quarter 2008 Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated in the attached schedule, was $24 million, an increase of $9 million from $15 million in the prior quarter and an increase of $8 million from $16 million in the year-ago quarter. The second quarter 2008 Adjusted EBITDA included the $6 million regulatory award.

Interest expense for the second quarter 2008 was $14 million, down $1 million from the prior quarter and down $2 million from the second quarter 2007. The sequential and year-over-year decrease is attributable to debt reduction transactions.

Net income was $44 million in the second quarter 2008 (including a $32 million gain from early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and an $8 million gain on foreign currency transactions), as compared to a net loss of ($3) million in the prior quarter (including a $2 million gain on early extinguishment or restructuring of debt and a $2 million gain on foreign currency transactions), and net income of $12 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).

Basic and diluted net income per common share was $0.31 and $0.24, respectively, in the second quarter 2008, as compared to basic and diluted net loss per common share of ($0.02) in the prior quarter and basic and diluted net income per common share of $0.10 and $0.07, respectively, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted Diluted Net Income Per Common Share, as calculated in the attached schedule, was $0.02 for the second quarter 2008, compared to a loss of ($0.07) for the first quarter 2008 and break-even in the year-ago quarter.


The Company is currently assessing the impact on its results of various matters that relate to income taxes. Therefore, certain figures presented in this 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 periods ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PRIMUS ended the second quarter 2008 with an unrestricted cash balance of $56 million, stable with the balance as of the end of the first quarter 2008. Cash transactions were comprised of $8 million for capital expenditures, $14 million on debt coupon and other interest payments, $5 million to purchase and retire certain of the Company’s outstanding debt, and $1 million for scheduled debt principal reductions. These declines were offset by $24 million of Adjusted EBITDA, $2 million of interest income, $1 million released from restricted cash, and $1 million from working capital movements.

Free Cash Flow for the second quarter 2008, as calculated in the attached schedule, was $5 million (comprised of $13 million provided by operating activities and $8 million utilized for capital expenditures) as compared to negative ($14) million in the prior quarter and positive $1 million in the year-ago quarter.

The principal amount of PRIMUS’s long-term debt obligations as of June 30, 2008 was $585 million, as compared to $649 million at March 31, 2008.

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 and/or its subsidiaries’ outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means, issuing debt or equity or purchasing its equity in the open market to the extent permitted by existing covenants.
