euNetworks Sees Steady EBITDA Rise

November 10th, 2016 by · Leave a Comment

The European network infrastructure provider euNetworks posted its third quarter earnings numbers today, which is awfully nice of them seeing as they’re privately held these days.  After a big Q2 in which they had a bit of extra euTrade revenue during a migration, they held most of those gains and saw EBITDA keep marching upward.  Here are their numbers in some context:

Monthly Incremental Service Revenue166197381254257
Churn1.3%0.9%0.7%1.1%0.9%

Revenues were down sequentially, but inline with the overall trend.  In Q2 euNetworks says it benefitted from ‘some dual running euTrade services as a result of the move of a major trading exchange’, which of course did not recur.  EBITDA on the other hand rose anyway, with EBITDA margins reaching 34% for the first time.

Capex pulled back a bit after they finished off their dark fiber expansions to Marseille and Stockholm in Q3.  It seems likely we’ll see more such bursts though.
