CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo Inc. (Nasdaq: GOGO), the global leader in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless entertainment to the aviation industry, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Second Quarter 2016 Highlights

- Net loss increased to $40.2 million ($0.51 per share) from $24.8 million in Q2 2015 ($0.32 per share), driven by a $15.4 million ($0.20 per share) charge for the extinguishment of debt.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to $14.4 million, up 33% from $10.8 million in Q2 2015.
- Approximately 600 new 2Ku aircraft were awarded, bringing total 2Ku aircraft awards to more than 1,200.
- Gogo issued $525 million of senior secured notes, repaid its existing senior term credit facility and ended Q2 with cash and cash equivalents of $508.6 million.
- Capital expenditures of $47.6 million were up from $37.4 million in Q2 2015. Cash CAPEX of $39.8 million was up from $22.8 million in Q2 2015, primarily due to increased 2Ku airborne equipment purchases.
"We are very pleased to announce that our next generation 2Ku technology is now flying on Aeromexico, Delta, and Virgin Atlantic aircraft," said Gogo's President and CEO Michael Small. "We are focused on installing our 1,200 2Ku awarded aircraft, continuing our global expansion, and winning new international airlines."

- Average monthly service revenue per aircraft equivalent, or ARPA, increased to $11,483, up 2% year-over-year, driven primarily by increased passenger usage. Q2 2016 ARPA increased an estimated 14% year-over-year excluding aircraft added since the beginning of 2015, which primarily include regional jets and aircraft operated by new airline partners.

Business Aviation (BA)
- Service revenue increased to $32.4 million, up 36% from $23.8 million in Q2 2015, driven primarily by a 20% increase in ATG systems online and a 14% increase in average monthly service revenue per ATG unit online.
- Equipment revenue decreased to $16.7 million from $19.5 million in Q2 2015, driven primarily by a decrease in satellite and ATG units shipped, consistent with trends in the business aviation market.

- CA-ROW net new installations of approximately 75 aircraft in 2016 and more than 200 aircraft in 2017
- 2Ku installations of 75 to 100 aircraft in 2016 and 350 to 450 aircraft in 2017
- Total revenue of $575 million to $595 million
- CA-NA revenue of $350 million to $365 million
- BA revenue of $190 million to $205 million
- CA-ROW revenue of $25 million to $30 million

Conference Call
The second quarter conference call will be held on August 4th, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. ET. A live webcast of the conference call, as well as a replay, will be available online on the Investor Relations section of the company's website at http://ir.gogoair.com. Participants can also access the call by dialing (844) 464-3940 (within the United States and Canada) or (765) 507-2646 (international dialers) and entering conference ID number 54378034.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CAPEX in the supplemental tables below. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CAPEX for business planning purposes, including managing our business against internally projected results of operations and measuring our performance and liquidity. These supplemental performance measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash CAPEX are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance with Adjusted EBITDA or liquidity with Cash CAPEX, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation to net loss attributable to common stock, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, (ii) use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net loss attributable to common stock as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Cash CAPEX in addition to, and not as an alternative to, consolidated capital expenditures when evaluating our liquidity. No reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2016 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, we are not able to provide a reconciliation for the forecasted range of Adjusted EBITDA due to variability in the timing of aircraft installations and deinstallations impacting depreciation expense and amortization of deferred airborne leasing proceeds.

limitations and restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness and our ability to service our indebtedness; our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all; fluctuations in our operating results; our ability to attract and retain customers and to capitalize on revenue from our platform; the demand for and market acceptance of our products and services; changes or developments in the regulations that apply to us, our business and our industry; the attraction and retention of qualified employees, including key personnel; the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising and our ability to maintain and enhance our brands; our ability to manage our growth in a cost-effective manner and integrate and manage acquisitions; compliance with anti-corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the (U.K.) Bribery Act 2010; restrictions on the ability of U.S. companies to do business in foreign countries, including, among others, restrictions imposed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control; difficulties in collecting accounts receivable.
