Revenue


    --  Revenue totaled $80.4 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 4%
        year-over-year and flat sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was
        due to the loss of revenue resulting from customer attrition as we
        migrated out of the New York metro data center into another facility,
        the decrease in partner colocation revenue and lower IP revenue,
        partially offset by organic growth in core data center services revenue.
        Sequentially, data center services revenue growth offset the decrease in
        IP services.
    --  Data center services revenue totaled $59.4 million in the second
        quarter, a decrease of 3% year-over-year and an increase of 1%
        sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the loss
        of revenue from the New York metro data center migration, partially
        offset by organic growth in core revenues. Partner colocation revenue
        declined due to our strategy to focus on selling into our
        company-controlled data centers. The sequential increase was
        attributable to increased sales of colocation in company-controlled data
        centers, hosting and cloud services, partially offset by decreased sales
        in our partner data centers.
    --  IP services revenue totaled $21.0 million in the second quarter, a
        decrease of 7% year-over-year and 3% sequentially. Both decreases were
        driven by a decline in IP pricing for new and renewing customers and the
        loss of legacy contracts.

Net Loss


    --  GAAP net loss was $(12.5) million, or $(0.24) per share, compared with
        $(11.2) million, or $(0.22) per share, in the second quarter of 2014 and
        $(10.4) million, or $(0.20) per share, in the first quarter of 2015.
    --  Normalized net loss was $(10.3) million, or $(0.20) per share, compared
        with normalized net loss of $(7.7) million, or $(0.15) per share, in the
        second quarter of 2014, and normalized net loss of $(8.6) million, or
        $(0.17) per share, in the first quarter of 2015.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA


    --  Segment profit totaled $47.5 million in the second quarter, flat
        year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. Segment margin was 59.0%, an
        increase of 250 basis points year-over-year and 30 basis points
        sequentially.
    --  Data center services segment profit totaled $35.1 million in the second
        quarter, a 1% increase compared with the second quarter of 2014 and a 1%
        increase from the first quarter of 2015. Data center services segment
        margin was 59.0% in the second quarter, up 230 basis points
        year-over-year and 10 basis points sequentially. An increasing
        proportion of higher-margin services, specifically colocation sold in
        company-controlled data centers, hosting and cloud services drove data
        center services segment profit and margin higher.
    --  IP services segment profit totaled $12.4 million in the second quarter,
        a 2% decrease compared with the second quarter of 2014 and a 2% decrease
        from the first quarter of 2015. IP services segment margin was 58.9% in
        the second quarter, up 300 basis points year-over-year and 80 basis
        points sequentially. Lower IP transit revenue and the loss of legacy
        contracts drove the decrease in segment profit. Lower network costs
        primarily contributed to the increase in segment margin.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA totaled $19.1 million in the second quarter, a 3%
        increase compared with the second quarter of 2014 and a 7% increase from
        the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.8% in the
        second quarter, up 180 basis points year-over-year and 160 basis points
        sequentially. Both the year-over-year and sequential increases in
        adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin were attributable to
        increased segment profit in our data center services segment and lower
        cash operating expense(3), which outweighed $1.5 million in executive
        transition costs.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement


    --  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.4 million at June 30, 2015. Total
        debt was $372.1 million, net of discount, at the end of the quarter,
        including $56.9 million in capital lease obligations.
    --  Cash generated from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015
        was $13.1 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were $15.8
        million.

INTERNAP CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to providing financial measurements based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), Internap has historically provided additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP ("non-GAAP"), including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, normalized net loss, normalized diluted shares outstanding, segment profit and segment margin and cash operating expense. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to adjusted EBITDA and normalized net loss is loss from operations and net loss, respectively. The most directly comparable GAAP equivalent to normalized diluted shares outstanding is diluted common shares outstanding.

We define non-GAAP measures as follows:


    --  Adjusted EBITDA is loss from operations plus depreciation and
        amortization, loss (gain) on disposals of property and equipment, exit
        activities, restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation and
        acquisition costs.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.
    --  Normalized net loss is net loss plus exit activities, restructuring and
        impairments, stock-based compensation and acquisition costs.
    --  Normalized diluted shares outstanding are diluted shares of common stock
        outstanding used in GAAP net loss per share calculations, excluding the
        dilutive effect of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock
        method.
    --  Normalized net loss per share is normalized net loss divided by basic
        and normalized diluted shares outstanding.
    --  Segment profit is segment revenues less direct costs of sales and
        services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization for the segment, as
        presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Segment
        profit does not include direct costs of customer support, direct costs
        of amortization of acquired and developed technologies or any other
        depreciation or amortization associated with direct costs.
    --  Segment margin is segment profit as a percentage of segment revenues.
    --  Cash operating expense is GAAP operating expense less direct cost of
        sales and services, depreciation and amortization, exit activities,
        restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation and acquisition
        costs.

We detail reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures below. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations.

We believe that excluding depreciation and amortization and loss on disposals of property and equipment, as well as impairments and restructuring, to calculate adjusted EBITDA provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation that is useful to investors' understanding of our core operating results and trends. Not only are depreciation and amortization expenses based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on present or future replacement costs, but also they are based on management estimates of remaining useful lives. Loss on disposals of property and equipment is also based on historical costs of assets that may have little bearing on replacement costs. Impairments and restructuring expenses primarily reflect goodwill impairments and subsequent plan adjustments in sublease income assumptions for certain properties included in our previously disclosed restructuring plans.

We believe that impairment and restructuring charges are unique costs that we do not expect to recur on a regular basis, and consequently, we do not consider these charges as a normal component of expenses related to current and ongoing operations.

Similarly, we believe that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of our core operating results and trends. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding stock-based compensation as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating our future results.

We also believe that, in excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, our non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with transparency into what management uses to measure and forecast our results of operations, to compare on a consistent basis our results of operations for the current period to that of prior periods and to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against that of other companies, in making financial and operating decisions and to establish certain management compensation.

NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

Stock-based compensation is an important part of total compensation, especially from the perspective of employees. We believe, however, that supplementing GAAP net loss and net loss per share information by providing normalized net loss and normalized net loss per share, excluding the effect of exit activities, restructuring and impairments, stock-based compensation and acquisition costs in all periods, is useful to investors because it enables additional and more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. We consider normalized diluted shares to be another important indicator of our overall performance because it eliminates the effect of non-cash items.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to -- not a substitute for -- our results of operations presented on the basis of GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by operating activities as defined by GAAP. Our statements of cash flows present our cash flow activity in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is used by and is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We believe that:


    --  EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating
        performance without regard to items such as interest expense, income
        taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from
        company-to-company depending upon accounting methods and book value of
        assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired;
        and
    --  investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of
        disposals of property and equipment, impairments, restructuring and
        stock-based compensation which vary widely from company-to-company and
        impair comparability.

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA:


    --  as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance
        from period-to-period on a consistent basis;
    --  as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for
        evaluating actual results against such expectations; and
    --  in communications with the board of directors, analysts and investors
        concerning our financial performance.

Our presentation of segment profit and segment margin excludes direct costs of customer support and depreciation and amortization in order to allow investors to see the business through the eyes of management. Management views direct costs of network, sales and services as generally less controllable, external costs and management regularly monitors the margin of revenues in excess of these direct costs. Similarly, we view the costs of customer support to also be an important component of costs of revenues but believe that the costs of customer support to be more within our control and to some degree discretionary as we can adjust those costs by hiring and terminating employees.

Segment margin is an important metric to our investors and analysts, as we have regularly discussed and disclosed the effects of third party vendors' pricing declines and the corresponding effect on our revenues. The presentation of segment margin highlights the impact of the pricing declines and allows investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to direct costs of network, sales and services. Conversely, we have much greater latitude in controlling the compensation component of costs of revenues, represented by customer support, and we analyze this component separately from the direct external costs.

We also have excluded depreciation and amortization from segment profit and segment margin because, as noted above, they are based on estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. Further, depreciation and amortization are based on historical costs incurred to build out our deployed network and the historical costs of these assets may not be indicative of current or future capital expenditures.

INTERNAP CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

Although we believe, for the foregoing reasons, that our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our results of operations, our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures is subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges should properly be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. Management accounts for these limitations by not relying exclusively on non-GAAP financial measures, but only using such information to supplement GAAP financial measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same non-GAAP measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as those used by other companies.
