Recurring revenue was €32.2m in Q2 2016, growing 10% from Q2 2015 and 5% from Q1 2016. Gross profit was €25.2m, up 12% from Q2 2015 and 6% from Q1 2016. Gross margin improved to 78.4% in Q2 2016, from 77.2% in Q2 2015 and from 78.0% in Q1 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA was €10.7m in Q2 2016, improving by 31% from Q2 2015 and by 9% from Q1 2016.

Capital expenditure supporting revenue growth was €16.1m in the quarter as euNetworks continues to invest for growth. This contributed to proxy cash flow of €(5.6)m in Q2 2016.

“After a strong start to the year, we continued this momentum through Q2 2016,” said Brady Rafuse, Chief Executive Officer of euNetworks. “Operating performance remained strong and the significant customer driven network development projects were successfully completed. Sales growth continued to be good after the record performance in Q1. Service installations were high, with some of this growth driven by a move in an euTrade service trading venue. Disconnections were also higher than prior quarters, with the euTrade service replacements driving this churn. Despite these movements, we delivered good overall growth.”

“For the quarter, our financial performance remained solid, with 10% growth in recurring revenue. Gross profit increased by 12% and Adjusted EBITDA by 31% from Q2 2015,” said Rafuse.

“Our capital expenditure was higher in Q2 2016 than previous quarters. This was due to the completion of the network development expansion projects to Marseille and Stockholm and further network investment projects now underway. These projects are all closely aligned with our customers’ growing bandwidth demands in 2016 and our strategy of investing in the network for our organic growth. Spend on success based customer projects was also higher in the quarter, in line with project delivery timescales in support of our customers. We will announce further network investment projects in due course and remain confident about the opportunities these bring us for further growth.”
