Radius Global Infrastructure Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Revenue Increased 35% YoY

Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADI) (“Radius” or the “Company”), one of the largest international owners and acquirors of real property interests and contractual rights underlying essential digital infrastructure assets, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Bill Berkman, Co-Chairman and CEO of Radius Global Infrastructure, commented:

“We generated quarterly revenue of $41.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, up 35% from the first quarter of 2022, with gross profit increasing to $39.3 million, up 32% year-over-year. In the first quarter, our Annualized In-Place Rents increased by 32% to $165.8 million. Our revenues are primarily triple net, inflation-linked rents underlying mission-critical communications sites. In the first quarter of 2023, we acquired 186 communication sites through cash investments in real property interests and related intangible assets of $43.7 million, resulting in Acquisition Capex¹ of $48.2 milion, which generated $3.7 million of annual rent. As of March 31, 2023, Radius has approximately $296.5 million of total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (including long-term restricted cash), and short-term investments.

RECENTLY ANNOUNCED TRANSACTION

As previously announced on March 1, 2023, Radius entered into a definitive agreement under which EQT Active Core Infrastructure (“EQT”) and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (“PSP”), through certain of their controlled affiliates, will acquire the Company. This pending transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. For additional information relating to this pending transaction, please refer to the preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2023 and other relevant materials that the Company has filed and may file with the SEC in connection with this pending transaction.

QUARTERLY RESULTS

Revenue increased 35% to $41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to revenue of $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the additional revenue streams acquired through investments in real property interests made during the past quarter, adjusted for foreign exchange rate effects.

Gross Profit rose 32% to $39.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to gross profit of $29.8 million in the corresponding prior year period, reflecting a gross profit (which we also refer to as ground cash flow) margin of approximately 95% during the three months ending March 31, 2023. Ground cash flow margin was impacted by expenses associated with fee simple interests acquired, primarily for property taxes.

Annualized In-Place Rents (“AIPR”) increased to $165.8 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $40.4 million, or 32% over AIPR of $125.4 million as of March 31, 2022. On a constant currency basis, AIPR would have increased 35% year-over-year to $169.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

Investments in Real Property Interests and Related Intangible Assets, as identified in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, was $43.7 million and $73.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, or a decrease of $29.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 over the prior period.

Acquisition Capex was $48.2 million and $74.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, or a decrease of $26.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 over the prior period.

Please refer to the GAAP financial disclosures, reconciliations and comparisons to non-GAAP financial measurements set forth below and in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2023, Radius had $296.5 million of total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (including long-term restricted cash), and short-term investments. Of this amount, approximately $273.4 million was available to deploy for asset acquisitions after excluding amounts that are required to be held in interest escrow accounts under certain long-term debt agreements.

OUTLOOK FOR 2023

As previously noted, the Company is not providing guidance with respect to the outlook for Acquisition Capex in 2023 in light of the pending transaction with EQT and PSP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain additional financial measures not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) that provide supplemental information we believe is useful to analysts and investors to evaluate our financial performance and ongoing results of operations, when considered alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, operating income and gross profit. These non-GAAP measures exclude the financial impact of items management does not consider in assessing our ongoing operating performance, and thereby facilitate review of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and further adjusting for non-cash impairment—decommissions expense, realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency debt, realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses associated with non-debt transactions and balances denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, share-based compensation expense and transaction-related costs recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses incurred for incremental business acquisition pursuits (successful and unsuccessful) and related financing and integration activities. Management believes the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides valuable additional information for users of the financial statements in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income, therefore the calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or any of our other non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative or substitute for our results.

The following are reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measure:

Acquisition Capex

Acquisition Capex is a non-GAAP financial measure. Our payments for acquisitions of real property interests consist of either a one-time payment upon the acquisition or up-front payments with contractually committed payments made over a period of time, pursuant to each real property interest agreement. In all cases, we contractually acquire all rights associated with the underlying revenue-producing assets upon entering into the agreement to purchase the real property interest and records the related assets in the period of acquisition. Acquisition Capex therefore represents the total cash spent and committed to be spent for the acquisitions of revenue-producing assets during the period measured. Management believes the presentation of Acquisition Capex provides valuable additional information for users of the financial statements in assessing our financial performance and growth, as it is a comprehensive measure of our investments in the revenue-producing assets that we acquire in a given period. Acquisition Capex has important limitations as an analytical tool, because it excludes certain fixed and variable costs related to our selling, marketing and underwriting activities included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, including corporate overhead expenses. Further, this financial measure may be different from calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. You should not consider Acquisition Capex or any of the other non-GAAP measures we utilize as an alternative or substitute for our results.

The following is a reconciliation of Acquisition Capex to the amounts included as an investing cash flow in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for investments in real property interests and related intangible assets, the most comparable GAAP measure, which generally represents up-front payments made in connection the acquisition of these assets during the period. The primary adjustment to the comparable GAAP measure is “committed contractual payments for investments in real property interests and intangible assets,” which represents the total amount of future payments that we were contractually committed to make in connection with our acquisitions of real property interests and intangible assets that occurred during the period. Additionally, foreign exchange translation adjustments impact the determination of Acquisition Capex.

Annualized In-Place Rents

Annualized in-place rents is a non-GAAP measure that measures performance based on annualized contractual revenue from the rents expected to be collected on leases owned and acquired (“in place”) as of the measurement date. Annualized in-place rents is calculated using the implied monthly revenue from all revenue producing leases that are in place as of the measurement date multiplied by twelve. Implied monthly revenue for each lease is calculated based on the most recent rental payment under such lease. Management believes the presentation of annualized in-place rents provides valuable additional information for users of the financial statements in assessing our financial performance and growth. In particular, management believes the presentation of annualized in-place rents provides a measurement at the applicable point of time as opposed to revenue, which is recorded in the applicable period on revenue-producing assets in place as they are acquired. Annualized in-place rents has important limitations as an analytical tool because it is calculated at a particular moment in time, the measurement date, but implies an annualized amount of contractual revenue. As a result, following the measurement date, among other things, the underlying leases used in calculating the annualized in-place rents financial measure may be terminated, new leases may be acquired, or the contractual rents payable under such leases may not be collected. In these respects, among others, annualized in-place rents differs from “revenue,” which is the closest comparable GAAP measure and which represents all revenues (contractual or otherwise) earned over the applicable period. Revenue is recorded as earned over the period in which the lessee is given control over the use of the wireless communication sites and recorded over the term of the lease. You should not consider annualized in-place rents or any of the other non-GAAP measures we utilize as an alternative or substitute for our results. The following is a comparison of annualized in-place rents to revenue, the most comparable GAAP measure:
