DISH SEGMENT PAY-TV METRICS 3 Pay-TV Net Additions DISH lost approximately 134,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 1Q15, compared to the addition of approximately 40,000 net Pay-TV subscribers during 1Q14. The decrease in net Pay-TV subscriber additions versus the same period in 2014 resulted from a higher Pay-TV churn rate and lower gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations, primarily related to programming interruptions in connection with the scheduled expiration of certain programming carriage contracts with several content providers. Pay-TV Churn Rate Our Pay-TV churn rate for 1Q15 was 1.65% compared to 1.42% during 1Q14. The increase in our Pay-TV churn rate primarily related to programming interruptions in connection with the scheduled expiration of certain programming carriage contracts with several content providers. Our Pay-TV churn rate continues to be adversely affected by increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing and discounted promotional offers. Our Pay-TV churn rate is also impacted by, among other things, the credit quality of previously acquired subscribers, our ability to consistently provide outstanding customer service, price increases, our ability to control piracy and other forms of fraud, and the level of our retention efforts. Pay-TV Gross Activations During 1Q15, DISH activated approximately 554,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers compared to approximately 639,000 gross new Pay-TV subscribers during 1Q14, a decrease of 13.3%. Our gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations during 1Q15 were negatively impacted by programming interruptions in connection with the scheduled expiration of certain programming carriage contracts with several content providers and a delay in our marketing efforts during the first half of the quarter related to these programming interruptions. In addition, our gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations continue to be negatively impacted by increased competitive pressures, including aggressive marketing, discounted promotional offers, and more aggressive retention efforts. 40 (44) (12) (63) (134) 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV Net Additions In thousands 639 656 691 615 554 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV Gross Activations In thousands 1.42% 1.66% 1.67% 1.61% 1.65% 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV Churn Rate In percentage DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY1Q15 |
DISH SEGMENT PAY-TV METRICS-CONTINUED 4 Pay-TV Subscribers DISH ended 1Q15 with 13.844 million Pay-TV subscribers compared to 14.097 million Pay-TV subscribers at the end of 1Q14. Pay-TV ARPU Pay-TV average monthly revenue per subscriber (Pay-TV ARPU) was $86.01 during 1Q15 versus $82.36 during 1Q14. The $3.65 or 4.4% increase in Pay-TV ARPU was primarily attributable to the programming package price increases in February 2015 and 2014 and higher hardware related revenue, partially offset by a shift in programming package mix. Pay-TV SAC Pay-TV subscriber acquisition cost (Pay-TV SAC) was $854 during 1Q15 compared to $862 during 1Q14, a decrease of $8 or 0.9%. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease in hardware costs per activation, partially offset by an increase in advertising costs. The decrease in hardware costs per activation was driven by a reduction in manufacturing costs for next generation Hopper receiver systems and a higher percentage of remanufactured receivers being activated on new subscriber accounts. 14,097 14,053 14,041 13,978 13,844 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV Subscribers In thousands $82.36 $84.15 $84.39 $84.17 $86.01 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV ARPU Dollars $862 $846 $861 $840 $854 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Pay - TV SAC Dollars DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY1Q15 |
DISH SEGMENT BROADBAND METRICS 5 Broadband Net Additions DISH added approximately 14,000 net Broadband subscribers during 1Q15, compared to the addition of approximately 53,000 net Broadband subscribers during 1Q14. This decrease in net Broadband subscriber additions versus 1Q14 resulted from lower gross new Broadband subscriber activations and a higher number of customer disconnects. Broadband Gross Activations During 1Q15 and 1Q14, DISH activated approximately 59,000 and 83,000 gross new Broadband subscribers, respectively. Gross new Broadband subscriber activations declined primarily due to stricter credit policies, lower gross new Pay-TV subscriber activations and satellite capacity constraints in certain geographic areas. Customer disconnects were higher due to a larger Broadband subscriber base during 1Q15 compared to 1Q14. Broadband Subscribers DISH ended 1Q15 with 591,000 Broadband subscribers compared to 489,000 Broadband subscribers at the end of 1Q14. 53 36 28 24 14 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Broadband Net Additions In thousands 83 76 72 64 59 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Broadband Gross Activations In thousands 489 525 553 577 591 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Broadband Subscribers In thousands DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY1Q15 |
SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS 6 Subscriber-Related Revenue Subscriber-related revenue totaled $3.689 billion for 1Q15, an increase of $133 million or 3.7% compared to 1Q14. The change in Subscriber-related revenue from 1Q14 was primarily related to the increase in Pay-TV ARPU discussed previously and increased revenue from broadband services, partially offset by a smaller average subscriber base during 1Q15 compared to 1Q14. Included in Subscriber-related revenue was $107 million and $83 million of revenue related to our broadband services for 1Q15 and 1Q14, respectively. Subscriber-Related Expenses Subscriber-related expenses totaled $2.163 billion during 1Q15, an increase of $94 million or 4.5% compared to 1Q14. The increase in Subscriber-related expenses was primarily attributable to higher pay-TV programming costs and higher Broadband subscriber-related expenses due to the increase in our Broadband subscriber base. The increase in programming costs was driven by rate increases in certain of our programming contracts, including the renewal of certain contracts at higher rates. Included in Subscriber-related expenses was $67 million and $49 million of expense related to our broadband services for 1Q15 and 1Q14, respectively. Net Income (Loss) Net income attributable to DISH Network was $351 million during 1Q15 compared to $176 million for 1Q14. $3,556 $3,645 $3,648 $3,646 $3,689 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Subscriber - Related Revenue Dollars in millions $2,069 $2,104 $2,133 $2,007 $2,163 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Subscriber - Related Expenses Dollars in millions $176 $213 $146 $410 $351 1Q14 2Q14 3Q14 4Q14 1Q15 Net Income (Loss) Dollars in millions DISH QUARTERLY INVESTOR SUMMARY1Q15 |
SELECTED FINANCIAL RESULTS-CONTINUED 7 EBITDA EBITDA was $849 million during 1Q15, an increase of $153 million or 22.0% compared to 1Q14. EBITDA for 1Q15 was positively impacted by Other, net income of $120 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to DISH Network plus Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized net of Interest income, Income tax (provision) benefit, net and Depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and we believe it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the pay-TV industry. Conceptually, EBITDA measures the amount of income generated each period that could be used to service debt, pay taxes and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
