Savvis Reports Improvement in Revenue for 2009


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Adjusted EBITDA* Up 7% Quarterly 

                               and 19% Annually


    Savvis, Inc. (Nasdaq: SVVS), a global leader in outsourced internet

infrastructure services for enterprises, today reported its fourth quarter

2009 financial results, with revenue of US$219.8 million, compared to

US$222.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA was US$54.9

million, compared to US$52.0 million of adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter

of 2008.


    Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2009 was US$10.4

million, compared to US$15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The

company reported a net loss of (US$5.4) million, or (US$0.10) per share, in

the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to a fourth quarter 2008 net loss of

(US$0.3) million, or (US$0.01) per share.


    For full year 2009, revenue was US$874.4 million, up 2% when compared to

full year 2008 revenue of US$857.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA for 2009 was

US$220.0 million, up 19% over the US$184.6 million reported in 2008.

Leveraged free cash flow* in 2009 was US$50.1 million, up significantly

compared to (US$90.6) million in the prior year. The improvement in leveraged

free cash flow is due to a reduction in capital expenditures in 2009,

following the completion of the company's global data center expansion in

2008.


    Compared to full year 2008 income from operations of US$26.5 million,

Savvis reported income from operations of US$40.1 million in 2009. The

company reported a net loss of (US$20.8) million in 2009, an improvement over

its 2008 net loss of (US$22.0) million. For full year 2009, Savvis had a net

loss per share of (US$0.39), compared to a net loss per share of (US$0.41) in

2008.


    "In the fourth quarter, Savvis recorded its best bookings in 18 months,"

said Jim Ousley, interim chief executive officer of Savvis. "The fourth

quarter included a US$33 million, five-year deal to provide outsourcing to a

global, information distribution services company. In addition, we saw strong

sales in the financial and media verticals, as well as with our cloud

offerings. We are pleased with the sequential revenue growth in the fourth

quarter, particularly in our Hosting segment."

        million and $1.9 million, respectively. 

    

    (2) Net income (loss) is restated from amounts reported in the prior

    US dollars in millions                      Three months ended

                                        12/31/09       9/30/09     12/31/08

       Total Hosting Revenue              $154.7        $148.1       $150.9

    Percentage Change                                        4%           2%


    Overall Hosting revenue was $154.7 million in the fourth quarter, up 2%

on a year-over-year basis. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, Hosting revenue

was up 4%.


    For the quarter, Managed Services contributed $67.8 million to overall

Hosting revenue, or 44%, and included $2.2 million in early termination fees.

Managed Services revenue was up 8%, on a quarterly basis, and positive trends

in cloud revenue contributed to the fourth quarter improvement. On an annual

basis, Managed Services revenue was flat. Excluding fourth quarter 2008

revenue of $5.2 million from the American Stock Exchange, Managed Services

revenue was up 8%, year-over-year.


    Colocation contributed $86.9 million to overall Hosting revenue in the

quarter, or 56%. Year-over-year, Colocation revenue grew 4%. On a

quarter-over-quarter basis, colocation revenue growth was 2%. As expected,

Savvis saw several colocation customers transition to their own underutilized

data centers late in the fourth quarter. This churn will result in a first

quarter 2010 sequential quarterly decline in colocation revenue of $6.1

million.


    Network 

    

    US dollars in millions                    Three months ended

                                      12/31/09       9/30/09     12/31/08

    Core                                 $31.4         $28.6        $24.7

    Sustaining                           $33.7         $36.4        $46.8

                                         -----         -----        -----

       Total Network Revenue             $65.1         $65.0        $71.5

    Percentage Change                                      0%          (9%)


    Overall Network revenue was $65.1 million in the fourth quarter and was

down (9%) on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, Network revenue was flat,

as the company began to see some initial results from its long-term strategy

to focus on Core Network customers, which are generally associated with its

data centers.


    For the quarter, Core Network contributed $31.4 million to overall

Network revenue, or 48%. Core Network revenue was up 27%, on a year-over-year

basis, and was up 10%, on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Core Network includes

network revenue from Thomson Reuters and from other financial vertical and

data center customers, who also purchase bundled network and hosting

services.


    Sustaining Network contributed $33.7 million to overall Network revenue

in the quarter, or 52%. Year-over-year, Sustaining Network revenue declined

(28%). On a quarter-over-quarter basis, Sustaining Network revenue was down

(7%). Sustaining Network includes revenue from network services that are

either in slower growth or declining markets or are not directly tied to the

future growth of the company's Hosting and Network businesses.


    Highlights

    The financial vertical represented 26% of total revenue, or $57.7

million, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Revenue in the quarter was down (2%),

compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, and up 7%, compared to the third

quarter of 2009. Savvis saw sequential improvement in its proximity hosting

business and overall good growth in the financial vertical, in the fourth

quarter.


    Also during the quarter, Savvis reported cloud revenue of $2.5 million,

up 25% on a quarter-over-quarter basis and 105% year-over-year. In addition,

Savvis announced that it had expanded its progressive relationship with Cisco

to include the use of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) in its

Symphony Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) cloud offering.


    In the fourth quarter, Savvis brought new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

customers on board, including Peopleclick. Its database of more than 90

million resumes will be powered by Savvis. As part of the three-year

agreement, Peopleclick is deploying Savvis' SaaS IT infrastructure solution,

which is hosted from multiple Savvis data centers in the United States and

the United Kingdom. SaaS revenue in the fourth quarter was $19.3 million, up

3% on a quarter-over-quarter basis and 31% year-over-year.


    In addition to new relationships, Savvis saw existing client

relationships grow stronger, during the fourth quarter. The Thomson Reuters

collaboration, which was announced in the quarter, is ahead of plan. This

relationship showed revenue growth, and it is contributing to the company's

Hosting and Network revenue. At present, the Thomson Reuters solution is

deployed in five of the anticipated six data centers, with Frankfurt expected

online by the end of the first quarter of 2010.


    Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $57.5 million in the fourth

quarter of 2009, compared to $44.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Cash capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $57.1

million.


    The company's cash position at December 31, 2009, was $160.8 million,

compared to $163.5 million at September 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009,

the long-term debt and capital leases for Savvis (net of current portion)

totaled $600.0 million. During the fourth quarter, the company expanded its

existing footprint at its CH4 data center, in downtown Chicago, by 50% and

lengthened the term of the lease. This resulted in an increase in capital

lease obligations, as CH4 was reclassified as a capital lease valued at $37.8

million, in aggregate.

    Full Year Highlights

    In 2009, Savvis continued as a leader in the financial vertical, when it

added Chi-X Canada, the Turquoise Multilateral Trading Facility in Europe,

and Credit Suisse CrossFinder as Savvis connectivity options. The company

also announced that BATS Global Markets expanded its hosting space in Savvis'

Weehawken, NJ, data center and expanded its footprint within the Savvis

Docklands data center in London. Outside the financial vertical, Savvis

announced big customer wins in the areas of SaaS and media, among others.


    Savvis was positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in the Web Hosting and

Hosted Cloud System Infrastructure Services Magic Quadrant, in 2009. The

Gartner Magic Quadrant is widely recognized as one of the most influential

Business Finance Savvis, Inc. 3 image

reports for enterprises seeking to evaluate hosting vendors. Its evaluation

is based on completeness of vision, including market understanding, product

strategy and innovation, and assesses ability to execute, which includes

operations and overall viability, among other criteria.


    Significant year-over-year trends for Savvis include Hosting revenue

growth of 8% and a 26% improvement in Core Network revenue. In the financial

vertical, 2009 revenue was $229.1 million, up 3% over 2008. The company's

cloud revenue for 2009 was $7.4 million, which was up 93% over 2008. SaaS

2009 revenue of $70.7 million was up 38%, year-over-year.


    Financial Outlook

    "We look forward to quarterly sequential growth beginning in the second

quarter and continuing throughout 2010," said Greg Freiberg, chief financial

officer for Savvis. "However, we still expect the colocation churn we

experienced late in the fourth quarter to impact sequential revenue and

adjusted EBITDA growth in the first quarter."


    Savvis currently expects the following for full year 2010:


    - Adjusted EBITDA of $205 to $225 million

    - Total cash capital expenditures of $180 to $200 million, including

      approximately $53 million for data center expansion

    - Cash interest expense (net) of approximately $40 to $50 million

    This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may

differ materially from Savvis' expectations. Certain factors that could

adversely affect actual results are set forth as risk factors described in

Savvis' SEC reports and filings, including its annual report on Form 10-K for

the year ended December 31, 2008, and subsequent filings. Those risk factors

include, but are not limited to, uncertainties in economic conditions,

including conditions that could pressure enterprise IT spending; introduction

of, demand for and market acceptance of Savvis' products and services;

whether or not Savvis is able to sign additional outsourcing deals;

variability in pricing for those products and services; merger and

acquisition activity by Savvis customers or other customer activity that

affects the level of business done with Savvis; rapid evolution of

technology; changes in the operating environment; and changes or proposed

changes in, or introduction of new, regulatory schemes or environments that

    * Non-GAAP Measures

    Savvis includes information pertaining to certain non-GAAP measures in

conjunction with reporting of its quarterly and year-end financial results.

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents income from operations before depreciation,

amortization and accretion, gains and losses on sales of assets, and

non-cash, equity-based compensation. We have included information concerning

adjusted EBITDA because we believe that in our industry such information is a

relevant measurement of a company's operating financial performance and

liquidity. "Leveraged free cash flow" (formerly known as adjusted free cash

flow) represents adjusted EBITDA less cash capital expenditures and less cash

interest, net. We have included information concerning leveraged free cash

flow because we believe that in our industry such information is a relevant

measurement of a company's operating financial performance and liquidity.

"Cash return on capital employed" represents operating cash flow divided by

capital employed (short-term and long-term debt plus equity). We have

included information concerning cash return on capital employed because we

believe that in our industry such information is a relevant measurement of a

company's operating financial performance and its efficient use of capital.

We do not provide forward looking guidance for certain financial data, such

as income from operations, depreciation, amortization and accretion,

non-cash, equity-based compensation, and interest income. As a result, we are

unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted

EBITDA, leveraged free cash flow and cash return on capital employed for

forward looking data, including 2010 full-year guidance. The calculations of

adjusted EBITDA, leveraged free cash flow and cash return on capital employed

are not specified by United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Our calculations of adjusted EBITDA, leveraged free cash flow and cash return

on capital employed may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of

other companies.

         a relevant measurement of a company's operating financial 

         performance and liquidity.  The calculation of adjusted EBITDA is 

         not specified by United States generally accepted accounting

         information concerning leveraged free cash flow because we believe

         a company's operating financial performance and liquidity.
