Company Raises 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance to Approximately $900 Million

NEW YORK – August 7, 2012 – Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) today announced second quarter 2012 financial and operating results, including revenue of $838 million, up 13% over second quarter 2011 revenue of $744 million. Net income for the second quarter 2012 and 2011 was $3.1 billion and $173 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 was $237 million, up 28% from $185 million in the second quarter of 2011.

“SiriusXM continued its exceptional performance in the second quarter, adding over 600,000 subscribers, which represents a post-merger record, despite the mixed macroeconomic trends. We also attained a record-level free cash flow of $230 million - the highest single quarterly free cash flow figure in SiriusXM’s history. We are very pleased with the strong operating results we have delivered since the merger, especially our performance in 2012, as we have grown revenue, tightly controlled expenses, and produced substantial growth in adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow,” remarked Mel Karmazin, Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM.

“We’ve also raised our subscriber, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA guidance as the Company exceeds its targets and as subscribers demonstrate how much they love our great content. We are excited to deliver our new SiriusXM On-Demand service to our subscribers via the internet and smartphones, and our program to launch a personalized music feature via these same channels by the end of the year is on track. We intend to provide more innovative ways for our subscribers to access our best-in-class content, and we believe this focus on satisfying subscribers will also satisfy our shareholders,” said Karmazin.

Additional highlights from the second quarter include:

 

 

 

 

Record subscriber growth. Self-pay net subscriber additions improved by 28% year-over-year to 463,000, pushing the self-pay subscriber base to an all-time high of 18.7 million subscribers. The total paid subscriber base rose to a record high 22.9 million subscribers. Strong auto sales helped lift total paid and unpaid trial inventory by approximately 400,000 from the first quarter to 6.1 million.

 

Churn and conversion stable. Self-pay monthly churn was 1.9% in the second quarter of 2012, unchanged from the 1.9% reported in the second quarter of 2011. The new




 

 

 

 

 

vehicle consumer conversion rate was 45% in the second quarter of 2012, also unchanged from the second quarter of 2011.

 

Free cash flow grows to record level. Free cash flow was $230 million in the second quarter of 2012, an improvement of 39% from the $165 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011, and SiriusXM attained an all-time record for free cash flow generated in a single quarter in the history of satellite radio.

 

Significant net income items. Included in the second quarter 2012 net income was an income tax benefit of approximately $3.0 billion related to a reversal of substantially all of the Company’s deferred income tax valuation allowance. On a comparative basis, the second quarter 2011 net income included a gain of $84 million associated with the Canadian merger of Sirius and XM.

“We ended the second quarter with $868 million of cash, after the repurchase of approximately $101 million in aggregate principal amount of our debt during the quarter. Our leverage at the end of the second quarter of 2012 improved to 3.6x our adjusted EBITDA,” said David Frear, SiriusXM’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We called the remaining $186 million of our 9.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 for redemption on September 1, 2012. Following the repayment of these notes, our gross debt will stand at approximately $2.7 billion and our leverage, based upon our 2012 adjusted EBITDA guidance, will be at our 3.0x target, a significant improvement from 4.4x one year ago.”

2012 GUIDANCE

“Our increase in adjusted EBITDA guidance to approximately $900 million indicates strong confidence in our ability to continue to execute in the back half of the year,” said Karmazin. “We were also pleased to raise our subscriber guidance for the second time this year just last month.”

The Company’s 2012 subscriber, revenue, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Net subscriber growth approaching 1.6 million,

 

Revenue approaching $3.4 billion,

 

Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $900 million, and

 

Free cash flow of approximately $700 million.

          Subscribers. The improvement was due to the 14% increase in gross subscriber additions, primarily resulting from new vehicle shipments and light vehicle sales, as well as an increase in conversions from unpaid promotional trials and returning subscriber activations including consumers in previously owned cars. This increase in gross additions was partially offset by an increase in deactivations. The increase in deactivations was primarily due to paid promotional trial deactivations stemming from the growth of paid trials, along with growth in our subscriber base. Self-pay net additions increased 28% as trial conversions increased and the self-pay churn rate declined.

          Average Self-pay Monthly Churn for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 1.9%.

          New Vehicle Consumer Conversion Rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was 45%.

          ARPU increased primarily due to the increase in certain subscription rates beginning in January 2012 and an increase in sales of premium services, including Premier packages, data services and streaming. These factors were partially offset by an increase in subscriber retention programs, the number of subscribers on promotional plans and a decrease in the contribution from the U.S. Music Royalty Fee due to the December 2010 reduction in the rate from 15.3% to 10.8%.

          SAC, Per Gross Subscriber Addition, remained flat at $54 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Higher subsidies related to increased OEM installations occurring in


advance of acquiring the subscriber were offset by improved OEM subsidy rates per vehicle and a 14% increase in gross subscribers compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Glossary

Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA is defined as net income before interest and investment loss; interest expense, net of amounts capitalized; income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We adjust EBITDA to remove the impact of other income and expense, loss on extinguishment of debt as well as certain other charges discussed below. This measure is one of the primary Non-GAAP financial measures on which we (i) evaluate the performance of our businesses, (ii) base our internal budgets and (iii) compensate management. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure that excludes (if applicable): (i) certain adjustments as a result of the purchase price accounting for the Merger, (ii) goodwill impairment, (iii) restructuring, impairments, and related costs, (iv) depreciation and amortization and (v) share-based payment expense. The purchase price accounting adjustments include: (i) the elimination of deferred revenue associated with the investment in XM Canada, (ii) recognition of deferred subscriber revenues not recognized in purchase price accounting, and (iii) elimination of the benefit of deferred credits on executory contracts, which are primarily attributable to third party arrangements with an OEM and programming providers. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the underlying trend of our operating performance, which provides useful information about our business apart from the costs associated with our physical plant, capital structure and purchase price accounting. We believe investors find this Non-GAAP financial measure useful when analyzing our results and comparing our operating performance to the performance of other communications, entertainment and media companies. We believe investors use current and projected adjusted EBITDA to estimate our current and prospective enterprise value and to make investment decisions. Because we fund and build-out our satellite radio system through the periodic raising and expenditure of large amounts of capital, our results of operations reflect significant charges for depreciation expense. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense is useful given significant variation in depreciation and amortization expense that can result from the potential variations in estimated useful lives, all of which can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. We believe the exclusion of restructuring, impairments and related costs is useful given the nature of these expenses. We also believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model which varies based on assumptions used for the expected life, expected stock price volatility and risk-free interest rates.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our statements of comprehensive income of certain expenses, including share-based payment expense and certain purchase price accounting for the Merger. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the Non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the Non-GAAP measure. Investors that wish to compare and evaluate our operating results after giving effect for these costs, should refer to net income as disclosed in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Since adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial performance measure, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be susceptible to varying calculations; may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies; and should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The reconciliation of net income to the adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows (in thousands):

Adjusted Revenues and Operating Expenses - We define this Non-GAAP financial measure as our actual revenues and operating expenses adjusted to exclude the impact of certain purchase price accounting adjustments and share-based payment expense. We use this Non-GAAP financial measure to manage our business, set operational goals and as a basis for determining performance-based compensation for our employees. The following tables reconcile our actual revenues and operating expenses to our adjusted revenues and operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

ARPU - is derived from total earned subscriber revenue, net advertising revenue and other subscription-related revenue, net of purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. Other subscription-related revenue includes the U.S. Music Royalty Fee. Purchase price accounting adjustments include the recognition of deferred subscriber revenues not recognized in purchase price accounting associated with the Merger. ARPU is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for subscriber and per subscriber amounts):

Average self-pay monthly churn - is defined as the monthly average of self-pay deactivations for the period divided by the average number of self-pay subscribers for the period.

Customer service and billing expenses, per average subscriber - is derived from total customer service and billing expenses, excluding share-based payment expense and purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger, divided by the number of months in the period, divided by the daily weighted average number of subscribers for the period. We believe the exclusion of share-based payment expense in our calculation of customer service and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is useful given the significant variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair market value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our customer service and billing expenses. Purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger include the elimination of the benefit associated with incremental share-based payment arrangements recognized at the Merger date. Customer service and billing expenses, per average subscriber, is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for subscriber and per subscriber amounts):

New vehicle consumer conversion rate - is defined as the percentage of owners and lessees of new vehicles that receive our service and convert to become self-paying subscribers after the initial promotion period. At the time satellite radio enabled vehicles are sold or leased, the owners or lessees generally receive trial subscriptions ranging from three to twelve months. Promotional periods generally include the period of trial service plus 30 days to handle the receipt and processing of payments. We measure conversion rate three months after the period in which the trial service ends. The metric excludes rental and fleet vehicles.

Subscriber acquisition cost, per gross subscriber addition - or SAC, per gross subscriber addition, is derived from subscriber acquisition costs and margins from the sale of radios and accessories, excluding share-based payment expense and purchase price accounting adjustments, divided by the number of gross subscriber additions for the period. Purchase price accounting adjustments associated with the Merger include the elimination of the benefit of amortization of deferred credits on executory contracts recognized at the Merger date attributable to an OEM. SAC, per gross subscriber addition, is calculated as follows (in thousands, except for subscriber and per subscriber amounts):
