Revenue
-- Revenue totaled $78.3 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 7%
year-over-year and 3% sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was due
to the loss of revenue related to customer attrition following our
migration out of the New York metro data center into our Secaucus
facility, the decrease in partner colocation revenue and lower IP
revenue, partially offset by organic growth in core data center services
revenue. Sequentially, revenue declined in data center services and IP
services.
-- Data center services revenue totaled $58.6 million in the third quarter,
a decrease of 5% year-over-year and 1% sequentially. The year-over-year
decrease was primarily due to the loss of revenue from the New York
metro data center migration. The sequential decrease was primarily
attributable to previously-disclosed hosting churn experienced late in
the second quarter of 2015, 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.
-- IP services revenue totaled $19.7 million in the third quarter, a
decrease of 14% year-over-year and 6% 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 $(14.2) million, or $(0.27) per share, compared with
$(9.4) million, or $(0.18) per share, in the third quarter of 2014 and
$(12.5) million, or $(0.24) per share, in the second quarter of 2015.
-- Normalized net loss was $(10.0) million, or $(0.19) per share, compared
with normalized net loss of $(7.5) million, or $(0.15) per share, in the
third quarter of 2014, and normalized net loss of $(10.3) million, or
$(0.20) per share, in the second quarter of 2015.
Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
-- Segment profit totaled $44.6 million in the third quarter, a 6% decrease
year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. Segment margin was 57.0%, an
increase of 90 basis points year-over-year and a decrease of 200 basis
points sequentially.
-- Data center services segment profit totaled $33.5 million in the third
quarter, a 1% decrease compared with the third quarter of 2014 and a 4%
decrease from the second quarter of 2015. Data center services segment
margin was 57.2% in the third quarter, up 220 basis points
year-over-year and down 180 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 compared with the third
quarter of 2014. Higher seasonal power costs resulted in a decrease in
data center services segment profit and margin compared with the second
quarter of 2015.
-- IP services segment profit totaled $11.1 million in the third quarter,
an 18% decrease compared with the third quarter of 2014 and a 10%
decrease from the second quarter of 2015. IP services segment margin was
56.5% in the third quarter, down 250 basis points year-over-year and 240
basis points sequentially. Lower IP transit revenue and the loss of
legacy contracts drove the decrease in segment profit and segment
margin.
-- Adjusted EBITDA totaled $19.8 million in the third quarter, flat
compared with the third quarter of 2014 and a 3% increase from the
second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.2% in the third
quarter, up 190 basis points year-over-year and 140 basis points
sequentially. Lower cash operating expense(4 )positively impacted
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. Benefits included a decrease
in sales and marketing costs primarily related to the removal of
redundancies in connection with the phase-out of the iWeb trade name and
other marketing program efficiencies. General and administrative costs
decreased primarily due to lower cash-based compensation.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement
-- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.3 million at September 30, 2015.
Total debt was $376.3 million, net of discount, at the end of the
quarter, including $57.5 million in capital lease obligations.
-- Cash generated from operations for the three months ended September 30,
2015 was $10.8 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were
$10.9 million and cash interest expense was $6.7 million, resulting in
$2.2 million of levered free cash flow.
Business Outlook
We are reaffirming the following guidance for full-year 2015:
-- Revenue $320 million - $325 million
-- Adjusted EBITDA $80 million - $85 million
-- Capital Expenditures $60 million - $70 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,
acquisition costs and strategic alternatives and related 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, acquisition costs and strategic
alternatives and related 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.
-- Levered free cash flow is adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, net
of equipment sale-leaseback transactions and cash paid for interest.
-- Cash operating expense is GAAP operating expense less direct cost of
sales and services, depreciation and amortization, loss (gain) on
disposals of property and equipment, exit activities, restructuring and
impairments, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs and strategic
alternatives and related 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.
INTERNAP CORPORATION
NON-GAAP (ADJUSTED) FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)
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.
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.

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.
