SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Other Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020, we determined that certain errors existed in our previously issued financial statements. Specifically:
• Prepaid and other assets, a component of current assets held for sale, as of December 31, 2019, were understated by $ 2.7 million, deferred tax liabilities were understated by $ 0.7 million, and retained earnings were understated by $ 2.0 million as the result of a failure to properly account for handsets that were utilized as demo phones in certain wireless retail stores within our area of operation. All of the impact to retained earnings is attributable to 2017 and prior years.
• Property, plant and equipment, net, classified as held for sale, and deferred income tax liabilities, as of December 31, 2019 were understated by $ 1.4 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively. Depreciation, contained within discontinued operations, was overstated by $ 1.4 million for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2019. Income tax expense and net income were understated by $ 0.4 million and $ 1.0 million, respectively, for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2019.

We evaluated these errors under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") authoritative guidance on materiality and the quantification of the effect of prior period misstatements on financial statements, and we have determined that the impact of these errors on our prior period consolidated financial statements is immaterial. However, since the correction of these errors in the first quarter of 2020 could have become material to our results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2020, we revised our prior period financial statements to correct these errors herein. For the year and quarter ended December 31, 2019, the correction of these errors resulted in a $ 0.02 increase in both basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Principles

There have been no developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that would be expected to impact the Company except for the following:

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 326 requires the application of a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to financial assets measured at amortized cost including trade accounts receivable, net investments in leases, and certain off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Under the CECL model, lifetime expected credit losses on such financial assets are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current, and forecasted information. Furthermore, the CECL model requires financial assets with similar risk characteristics to be analyzed on a collective basis. There was no significant impact to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

7
The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software ("ASC 350"): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, as of January 1, 2020. ASC 350 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Upon adoption of the standard, implementation costs were capitalized in the period incurred and will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. There was no significant impact to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “ Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ” This accounting update provides optional accounting relief to entities with contracts, hedge accounting relationships or other transactions that reference London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) or other interest rate benchmarks for which the referenced rate is expected to be discontinued or replaced. This optional relief generally allows for contract modifications solely related to the replacement of the reference rate to be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract instead of as an extinguishment of the contract, and therefore would not require reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The Company's Credit Agreement and interest rate swaps have LIBOR as a reference rate. We plan to apply the accounting relief as relevant contract modifications are made to our Credit Agreement and interest rate swap contracts during the course of the reference rate reform transition period. The optional relief can be applied beginning January 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2022.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

On August 26, 2020, Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), an indirect subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc., on behalf of and as the direct or indirect owner of Sprint PCS, delivered notice to the Company exercising its option to purchase the assets and operations of our Wireless segment for 90 % of the “Entire Business Value” (as defined under our affiliate agreement with Sprint PCS and determined pursuant to the appraisal process set forth therein). Shortly thereafter, the Company committed to a plan to sell the Wireless operations in a manner pursuant to the affiliate agreement’s terms. Our affiliate agreement provides a process and timeline for the sale that is expected to close within one year at a price to be determined through the appraisal process outlined in the affiliate agreement. Under the affiliate agreement, the appraised value should reflect the fair market value that a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for the entire on-going business in a change of control transaction.

On November 3, 2020, the parties aligned in principle on certain elements of the appraisal and sale process. Under the agreement in principle, the appraised valuation will be performed as of July 1, 2020. The appraisal will also value Shentel’s discontinued wireless operations as though Shentel were still an affiliate of Sprint with access to its brands and spectrum, without any regard to T-Mobile’s acquisition of Sprint or its subsequent integration efforts. It is currently expected that the appraisers will complete their assessment of the Entire Business Value on or about January 20, 2021. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals.

The assets and liabilities that are expected to transfer in the sale are presented as held for sale within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the affiliate agreement, the sale is to be structured as an asset sale for income tax purposes. As a result, no current or deferred tax assets or liabilities are included within the disposal group. While our long-term debt does not transfer in the sale, its provisions require us to repay all of the debt upon consummation of the sale. Our debt is therefore presented outside of the disposal group as a current liability at September 30, 2020. Our related swap liabilities are also presented outside of the disposal group as a current liability at September 30, 2020 because management intends to settle it at consummation.

The expected divestiture of our Wireless operations represents a strategic shift in the Company’s business and qualifies as a discontinued operation. As a result, the operating results and cash flows related to the Wireless segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Similarly, the results of our Wireless operations are no longer presented as a reporting segment. Because repayment of the debt is contractually triggered by the sale, the related interest expense is presented within discontinued operations under the relevant authoritative guidance. Consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, we previously allocated certain corporate management overhead costs to the former Wireless segment which may no longer be allocated to discontinued operations under the relevant authoritative guidance. Accordingly, we have elected to recast our segment reporting footnote to reflect the reattribution of these expenses in all presented periods in a manner that is also consistent with our updated internal reporting.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 33,509 $ 13,186 $ 76,422 $ 38,130

Our Broadband and Tower segments recognize revenue for their respective provision of cell site backhaul service and leased colocation space to the discontinued Wireless operations. That revenue is earned under contracts executed at our estimate of fair market value, which will transfer upon consummation of the sale. Accordingly, we expect to have a level of continuing involvement with the discontinued operations via these pre-existing contractual arrangements. Revenue recognized within continuing operations pursuant to these agreements is disclosed in Note 14, Segment Reporting . Because the right to use space on our owned cell towers and the related lease liability will be transferred in the sale, they have been included in our disposal group above under the relevant authoritative guidance. These right of use assets and lease liabilities were previously eliminated within our consolidated financial statements. Total assets and total liabilities as of December 31, 2019 therefore increased by $ 34 million as a result.

Under the relevant authoritative guidance, consummation of the sale will trigger or accelerate the recognition of certain expense related to: contingent deal advisory fees, recognition of our interest rate swap losses in net income, and loss on debt extinguishment. Our estimate of the related range of reasonably possible expense extends from $ 0 if the sale is not consummated to $ 40 million.

Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our Broadband segment provides broadband, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Kentucky, via fiber optic and hybrid fiber coaxial ("HFC") cable. The Broadband segment also provides voice and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”).

These contracts are generally cancellable at the customer’s discretion without penalty at any time. We allocate the total transaction price in these transactions based upon the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service. We generally recognize these revenues over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the service, with the exception of equipment sales and home wiring, which are recognized as revenue at a point in time when control transfers and when installation is complete, respectively. Installation fees are allocated to services and are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the contract, which we estimate to be about one year. Additionally, the Company incurs commission and installation costs related to in-house and third-party vendors which are capitalized and amortized over the expected weighted average customer life which is approximately five years .

10
Our Broadband segment also provides Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to enterprise and carrier customers under capacity agreements, and the related revenue is recognized over time. In some cases, non-refundable upfront fees are charged for connecting enterprise or carrier customers to our fiber network. Those amounts are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the respective contract.

The Broadband segment also leases dedicated fiber optic strands to customers as part of “dark fiber” agreements, which are accounted for as leases under ASC 842 Leases.

Our Tower segment leases space on owned cell towers to our Wireless segment, and to other wireless carriers. Revenue from these leases is accounted for under ASC 842.

Refer to Note 14, Segment Reporting, for a summary of these revenue streams.

Below is a summary of the Broadband segment's capitalized contract acquisition and fulfillment costs:

Future performance obligations
On September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $ 2.9 million allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations that will be satisfied at the rate of approximately $ 0.8 million per year.

Note 4. Investments

Investments consist of the following:
(in thousands) September 30,

Cost method investments 10,240 9,497
Equity method investments 539 613
Total investments $ 13,034 $ 12,388

SERP Investments at Fair Value: The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is a benefit plan that provides deferred compensation to certain employees. The Company holds the related investments in a rabbi trust as a source of funding for future payments under the plan. The SERP’s investments were designated as trading securities and will be liquidated and paid out to the participants upon retirement. The benefit obligation to participants is always equal to the value of the SERP assets under ASC 710 Compensation . Changes to the investments' fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense.

Cost Method Investments: Our investment in CoBank’s Class A common stock represented substantially all of our cost method investments with a balance of $ 9.5 million and $ 8.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We recognized approximately $ 1.0 million and $ 0.9 million of patronage income in Other income (expense) in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $ 3.0 million and $ 2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Historically, approximately 75 % of the patronage distributions were in cash and 25 % in equity.

Equity Method Investments: At September 30, 2020, the Company had a 20.0 % ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). The Company and ValleyNet purchase capacity on one another’s fiber network. We recognized revenue of $ 0.2 million from providing service to ValleyNet during both of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and approximately $ 0.7 million during both of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. We recognized cost
11
of service of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.8 million for the use of ValleyNet’s network during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $ 2.2 million and $ 2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of certain CBRS spectrum licenses for an aggregate cost of $ 16.1 million, within our Broadband segment. Spectrum licenses in the CBRS band are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and provide us priority access rights over general access users other than incumbents, in that specific band, in accordance with the FCC’s three-tier CBRS band spectrum sharing framework to utilize designated radio frequency spectrum within specific geographic service areas to provide wireless communication services.

We acquired Big Sandy Broadband, Inc. (“Big Sandy”) on February 28, 2019. The $ 10 million acquisition price was allocated as follows within our Broadband segment: $ 4.6 million of property, plant and equipment; $ 2.8 million of subscriber relationships; and $ 2.6 million of goodwill.

12
Amortization expense was $ 0.2 million and $ 0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and $ 0.5 million and $ 0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively.

Market expectations of the projected LIBOR decreased significantly during 2020, which drove the fair value of our interest rate swaps to a liability. Refer to Note 10, Derivatives and Hedging for more information.

Note 8. Leases

At September 30, 2020, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 23 years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.7 %. Our finance leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 14 years and a weighted average discount rate of 5.2 %.

13
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $ 2.3 million and $ 5.1 million of operating lease expense, respectively. Comparatively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $ 1.4 million and $ 2.9 million of operating lease expense, respectively.

We recognized $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million of interest and depreciation expense on finance leases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $ 0.1 million and $ 0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Operating lease expense is presented in cost of service or selling, general and administrative expense based on the use of the relevant facility. Variable lease payments and short-term lease expense were both immaterial. We remitted $ 1.2 million and $ 3.2 million of operating lease payments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We remitted $ 2.9 million of operating lease payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We also obtained $ 2.4 million and $ 9.2 million of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. We obtained $ 0.7 million of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The following table summarizes the expected maturity of lease liabilities at September 30, 2020:

We recognized $ 2.7 million and $ 6.9 million of operating lease revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $ 2.1 million and $ 6.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to the cell site colocation space and dedicated fiber optic strands that we lease to our customers, which is included in Service and other revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Substantially all of our lease revenue relates to fixed lease payments.

Note 9. Debt

Our syndicated Credit Agreement includes a $ 75 million, five-year undrawn revolving credit facility, as well as the following outstanding term loans:
(in thousands) September 30,
2020 		December 31,
2019
Term loan A-1 $ 236,721 $ 258,571
Term loan A-2 469,727 473,469
706,448 732,040
Less: unamortized loan fees 10,070 11,926
Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees $ 696,378 $ 720,114

Term Loan A-1 bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50 %, while Term Loan A-2 bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75 %. LIBOR resets monthly. Our cash payments for interest were $ 14.5 million and $ 21.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As shown below, as of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in its credit agreements.
Actual Covenant Requirement
Total leverage ratio 2.1 3.25 or Lower
Debt service coverage ratio 5.9 2.00 or Higher
Minimum liquidity balance (in millions) $ 258.8 $ 25.0 or Higher

Rate quotations provided by a group of banks that sustain LIBOR will no longer be required after 2021. As a result, it is uncertain whether LIBOR will continue to be quoted after 2021. Our term loans and interest rate swaps identify LIBOR as a reference rate and mature after 2021. Alternative reference rates that replace LIBOR may not yield the same or similar economic results over the terms of the financial instruments. The transition from LIBOR could result in us paying higher or lower interest rates on our current LIBOR-indexed term loans, affect the fair value of the derivative instruments we hold, or affect our ability to effectively use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Our Credit Agreement includes provisions that provide for the identification of a LIBOR replacement rate. Due to the uncertainty regarding the transition from LIBOR-indexed financial instruments, including when it will happen, and the manner in which an alternative reference rate will apply, we cannot yet reasonably estimate the expected financial impact of the LIBOR transition.

As discussed in Note 2, Discontinued Operations , the terms of our long term debt agreements require us to repay all of our debt upon consummation of the sale of our Wireless operations. Management also intends to settle the related interest rate swaps upon consummation. Both are therefore presented outside of the disposal group as a current liability at September 30, 2020.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedging

The Company's interest rate swaps are pay-fixed ( 1.16 %), receive-variable (one month LIBOR) that hedged approximately 43.0 % of outstanding debt with outstanding notional amounts totaling $ 303.5 million and $ 339.8 million, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The fair value of these instruments was estimated using an income approach and observable market inputs. The hedge was determined to be highly effective and therefore all of the change in its fair value was recognized through other comprehensive income. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the change in fair market value was immaterial. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the fair market value decreased $ 7.3 million due to a decline in the one month LIBOR. Derivative balances are presented as follows in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and various state income tax returns. The Company is not subject to any state or federal income tax audits as of September 30, 2020. The Company's returns are generally open to examination from 2016 forward and the net operating losses acquired in the acquisition of nTelos are open to examination from 2002 forward.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, differ from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the state income taxes, excess tax benefits and other discrete items.

Cash payments for income taxes totaled $ 5.4 million and $ 6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 12. Earnings per Share & Stock Compensation

The Company granted approximately 81 thousand restricted stock units (RSUs) to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Approximately 70 thousand and 11 thousand of these RSUs were granted during the first and second quarter of 2020, respectively, at market prices of $ 48.47 and $ 52.70 in those respective quarters. The Company also granted approximately 14 thousand RSUs to members of the board of directors at a market price of $ 48.47 per award in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, approximately 40 thousand Relative Total Shareholder Return (“RTSR”) awards were granted to employees at a value of $ 56.32 per award in the first quarter of 2020. Under the terms of the award agreements, the RSUs granted to employees vest over the anniversary date of the grants through 2024. The RSUs granted to the members of the board of directors vest fully on the first anniversary of the grant date. Pursuant to the terms of the RTSR awards, the Company’s stock performance over a three-year period, ending December 31, 2022, will be compared to a group of peer companies, and the actual number of shares to be issued will be determined based upon the performance of the Company’s stock as compared with that of the peer group. The actual number of shares to be issued ranges from zero shares (if the Company’s stock performance is in the bottom 25 % of the peer group) to 150 % of the awards granted (if the Company’s stock performance is in the top 25 % of the peer group). The Company's stock-based compensation award vesting is subject to requirements relating to continued
16
employment with the Company through the service or performance periods, and to special vesting provisions in case of a change of control, death, disability or retirement.

We utilize the treasury stock method to calculate the impact on diluted earnings per share that potentially dilutive stock-based compensation awards have. The following table indicates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Diluted net income per share - discontinued operations 0.67 0.27 1.53 0.76
Diluted net income per share $ 0.70 $ 0.29 $ 1.55 $ 0.83
There were fewer than 110,000 anti-dilutive awards outstanding during the three and nine months ended 2020 and 2019.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

We are committed to make payments to satisfy our lease liabilities and long-term debt. The scheduled payments under those obligations are summarized in the respective notes above. We are also committed to make annual payments of approximately $ 108.0 thousand on our FCC spectrum license obligation through 2039.

The Company is subject to claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any of these pending claims or legal actions are either probable or reasonably possible of a material loss.

Note 14. Segment Reporting

The expected divestiture of our Wireless operations represents a strategic shift in the Company’s business and qualifies as a discontinued operation. As a result, the operating results and cash flows related to the Wireless segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Similarly, the results of our Wireless operations are no longer presented as a reporting segment. Consistent with the internal reporting provided to our chief operating decision maker, we previously allocated certain corporate management overhead costs to the former Wireless segment which may no longer be allocated to discontinued operations under the relevant authoritative guidance. Accordingly, we have recast our reporting of the remaining segments to reflect the reattribution of these expenses in all presented periods in a manner consistent with our updated internal reporting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This management’s discussion and analysis includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions as they relate to Shenandoah Telecommunications Company or its management are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. All statements regarding Shenandoah Telecommunications Company’s expected future financial position and operating results, business strategy, financing plans, forecasted trends relating to the markets in which Shenandoah Telecommunications Company operates and similar matters, including information concerning our response to COVID-19, are forward-looking statements. We cannot assure you that the Company’s expectations expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. The Company’s actual results could be materially different from its expectations because of various factors, that may include natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as COVID-19, changes in general economic conditions, increases in costs, changes in regulation and other competitive factors. Updates to the Risk Factors described in “Item 1A-Risk Factors” as provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, may be found below in Part II, under the heading “Item 1A-Risk Factors.

The increase was primarily due to incremental Broadband operating expenses incurred to support the launch of our new fiber-to-the-home service, Glo Fiber, and new fixed wireless broadband service, Beam.

Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased approximately $0.4 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to changes in excess tax benefits from share based compensation and other discrete items.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax
As discussed in the notes to our interim financial statements, the results of our Wireless operations are now presented as discontinued operations.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, increased $20.3 million, or 154.1%. The increase was driven by a $10.4 million decline in depreciation and amortization primarily as a result of ceasing depreciation and amortization of assets held for sale, $5.5 million increase in postpaid wireless service revenue, a $4.5 million increase in travel revenue, and $4.2 million decline due to ceasing amortization on our right of use assets under operating leases.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Net Income $ 77,448 47.6 $ 41,414 27.0 36,034 87.0

Revenue
Revenue increased $9.4 million or 6.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to growth of $6.5 million and $3.3 million, in the Broadband and Tower segments, respectively.

Refer to the discussion of the results of operations for the Broadband and Tower segments below for additional information.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased approximately $12.0 million, or 7.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to incremental Broadband operating expenses incurred to support the launch of our new fiber-to-the-home service, Glo Fiber, and fixed wireless broadband solution, Beam.

22
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to changes in taxable income.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax
Income from discontinued operations net of tax increased $38.3 million or 100.4%. The increase was driven by a $22.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, a $19.5 million increase in travel revenue, a $7.0 million decline in interest expense from lower borrowing rates, $4.2 million in ceasing amortization of our right of use assets under operating leases partially offset by $13.8 million in higher income tax expense. C ertain assets acquired from nTelos in 2016 became fully depreciated during 2020 and depreciation and amortization of the long-lived assets within our disposal group ceased in September 2020.

Resolution of our travel revenue dispute during June of 2020 reset the travel fee at $1.5 million per month through 2021. As a result, we recognized $25.5 million of travel revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for service that we have provided since May 1, 2019. Of that amount, $12.0 million related to service provided during 2019.

Broadband

Our Broadband segment provides broadband, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Kentucky, via hybrid fiber coaxial (“HFC”) cable under the brand name of Shentel, fiber optics under the brand name of Glo Fiber and fixed wireless network under the brand name of Beam. The Broadband segment also leases dark fiber and provides Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to enterprise and wholesale customers throughout the entirety of our service area. The Broadband segment also provides voice and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”). These integrated networks are connected by an approximately 6,700 fiber route mile network. This fiber optic network also supports our Wireless segment operations, which are currently classified as discontinued operations, and these intercompany transactions are reported at their market value.

(1) Homes and businesses are considered passed (“homes passed”) if we can connect them to our distribution system without further extending the transmission lines. Homes passed is an estimate based upon the best available information. Homes passed have access to video, broadband and voice services.
(2) Includes approximately 16,600 RLEC homes passed where we are the dual incumbent telephone and cable provider.
(3) Customer relationships represent the number of billed customers who receive at least one of our services.
(4) Penetration is calculated by dividing the number of users by the number of homes passed or available homes, as appropriate.
(5) Average Revenue Per Customer calculation = (Residential & SMB Revenue * 1,000) / average customer relationships / 3 months
(6) Total fiber miles are measured by taking the number of fiber strands in a cable and multiplying that number by the route distance. For example, a 10 mile route with 144 fiber strands would equal 1,440 fiber miles.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted OIBDA

Adjusted OIBDA represents Operating income from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and certain other items of revenue, expense, gain or loss not reflective of our operating performance, which may or may not be recurring in nature.

Adjusted OIBDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to evaluate our operating performance in comparison to our competitors. Management believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted OIBDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance to facilitate comparisons with other telecommunications companies. This measure isolates and evaluates operating performance by excluding the cost of financing (e.g., interest expense), as well as the non-cash depreciation and amortization of past capital investments, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and certain other items of revenue, expense, gain or loss not reflective of our operating performance, which may or may not be recurring in nature.

Adjusted OIBDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The following tables reconcile Adjusted OIBDA to operating income from continuing operations, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash: Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, proceeds available under our revolving line of credit, and proceeds from dispositions.

As of September 30, 2020 our cash and cash equivalents totaled $184.1 million and the availability under our revolving line of credit was $75.0 million, for total available liquidity of $259.1 million.

• The Company generated approximately $44.8 million of net cash from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
• Discontinued operations contributed $182.5 million driven by strong results for our Wireless operations, including a $19.5 million increase due to the resolution of our travel revenue dispute with Sprint.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased $23.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the following:
• $33.9 million increase in capital expenditures due primarily to higher spending in the Broadband segment primarily driven by our Glo Fiber market expansion.
• $10.0 million decline in acquisitions. In 2019, the Company acquired Big Sandy Broadband, Inc. for $10.0 million.
• Net cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations decreased $40.4 million to $17.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to completion of the nTelos and Parkersburg network expansions in the first half of 2019 and postponement of Richmond Sliver territory expansion projects.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Indebtedness : As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s indebtedness totaled approximately $696.4 million, net of unamortized loan fees of $10.1 million, with an annualized overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.3%. Cash proceeds to be received, in connection with the completion of the sale of the Wireless segment operating assets and operations, are required to be used to repay our outstanding indebtedness. Principal payments on our debt are thus presented as cash used to finance our discontinued operations. Refer to Note 9, Debt, for information about the Company's Credit Facility and financial covenants.

29
Borrowing Capacity: As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding debt principal, under the Credit Facility, totaled $706.4 million, with an estimated annualized effective interest rate of 2.3% after considering the impact of the interest rate swap contracts and unamortized loan costs.

As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in our Credit Facility agreement.

We expect our cash on hand, available funds under our revolving credit facility, proceeds received from dispositions, and our cash flow from continuing operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for business operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under our credit facility. Thereafter, capital expenditures will likely be required to continue planned capital upgrades to the broadband networks, tower infrastructure and to provide increased capacity to meet expected growth in demand for our products and services. The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ materially from our estimate depending on the demand for our products and services, including the outcome of a potential sale of our wireless segment to T-Mobile, new market developments and expansion opportunities.

Our proceeds from dispositions and cash flows from continuing operations could be adversely affected by events outside our control, including, without limitation, changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, demand for our products and services, availability of labor resources and capital, changes in our relationship with Sprint, natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as COVID-19, and other conditions. Our ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base, particularly in our Broadband markets, is critical to our ability to maintain a positive cash flow from operations. The foregoing events individually or collectively could affect our results.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $706.4 million of gross variable rate debt outstanding, bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 2.3%. An increase in market interest rates of 1.00% would add approximately $6.9 million to annual interest expense, excluding the effect of our interest rate swaps. The swaps cover notional principal equal to $303.5 million, or approximately 43% as of September 30, 2020. The Company is required to pay a combined fixed rate of approximately 1.16% and receive a variable rate based on one month LIBOR (0.16% at September 30, 2020), to manage a portion of its interest rate risk. Changes in the net interest paid or received under the swaps would offset a corresponding portion of the change in interest expense on the variable rate debt outstanding.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is the Principal Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, who is the Principal Financial Officer, and the Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, who is the Principal Accounting Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. As remediation has not yet been completed, our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Senior Vice President - Finance and Chief Financial Officer, and our Vice President - Chief Accounting Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continued to be ineffective as of September 30, 2020.

In light of the material weaknesses, management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

30
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company continued execution of Management's Remediation Plan. Aside from continued improvements under this plan, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We are evaluating the impact of the anticipated sale of our discontinued Wireless operations on our remediation plan and timeline.

PART II
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We discuss in our Annual Report on Form 10-K various risks that may materially affect our business. We use this section to update this discussion to reflect material developments since our Form 10-K was filed. As of September 30, 2020, except as described below, there have been no significant changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and integration between T-Mobile and Sprint and the related purchase option appraisal process to determine the value of our Wireless assets and operations could cause significant volatility in the trading and value of the Company’s common stock.

As previously disclosed, on April 1, 2020, T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) publicly announced the completion of its business combination with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”) and subsequently delivered to the Company a notice of Network Technology Conversion, Brand Conversion and Combination Conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) pursuant to the terms of the Company’s affiliate agreement with Sprint. On August 26, 2020, T-Mobile exercised its option to purchase the assets and operations of our Wireless operations for 90% of the “Entire Business Value” (as defined under our affiliate agreement and determined pursuant to the appraisal process under the affiliate agreement). The appraised value and ultimate closing of the sale to T-Mobile does not require shareholder approval. The value of the Company's Wireless assets and operations determined through the appraisal process is uncertain and may not reflect the value implied by the value of our common stock.

As previously disclosed, the Company had disputed the framework of the appraisal process and other contractual terms related to T-Mobile’s pending acquisition of our Wireless assets and operations. Although the parties have now aligned in principle to resolve such disputed items, additional disputes may arise during the appraisal process which could delay the determination of Entire Business Value, delay the closing of the sale of our Wireless assets and operations and adversely affect the appraised value of our Wireless assets and operations.

The Company’s Board of Directors has not determined the use of the proceeds from the pending sale of our Wireless assets and operations and the decision could be different than expectations and cause significant volatility in the trading and value of our common stock.

The affiliate agreement also provides that 90 days following delivery of the Conversion Notice , T-Mobile may effect a Technology Conversion, Brand Conversion and Combination Conversion (each as defined in the affiliate agreement), following which T-Mobile is permitted to take certain competitive and other actions that could directly or indirectly adversely affect the Company’s Wireless business and operations. T-Mobile began integration of collection policies and voice traffic policies in the second quarter 2020 and credit policies, the brands, rate plans, sales, distribution channels and network in the third quarter 2020. The integration activities have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our Wireless segment operating and financial results. Although the agreement in principle, with T-Mobile, to resolve the appraisal framework dispute requires the appraisers to disregard merger integration effects, it is uncertain how these impacts will be interpreted by the appraisers and could adversely affect the appraised value of our Wireless assets and operations.

In addition, management and financial resources have been diverted and will continue to be diverted toward a potential transaction with T-Mobile. We have incurred, and expect to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with this process and related planning. These costs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations prior to the determination of the future of our Wireless operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could disrupt the operation of our business resulting in adverse impacts to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow and could create significant volatility in the trading and value of the Company’s common stock.

Since being reported in December 2019 in China, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a
31
pandemic and the United States declared a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets, and another pandemic in the future could have similar effects. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, and there is no guarantee that efforts by Shentel, designed to address adverse impacts of the coronavirus, will be effective.

Governments in the markets that we operate have mandated residents to stay at home and have temporarily closed businesses that are not considered essential. Although our businesses are considered essential, the Company temporarily closed approximately 40% of its Sprint branded retail stores during March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic before re-opening them in the second quarter of 2020 and adversely affected and continues to affect our Wireless postpaid subscriber gross additions. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:
• additional disruptions or delays in our operations or network performance, as well as network maintenance and construction, testing, supervisory and customer support activities, and inventory and supply procurement;
• increases in operating costs, inventory shortages and/or a decrease in productivity related to travel bans and social distancing efforts, which could include delays in our ability to install broadband services at customer locations or require our vendors and contractors to incur additional costs that may be passed onto us;
• a deterioration in our ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us from vendors that are needed for our efficient operations;
• a decrease in the ability of our counterparties to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all;
• a general reduction in business and economic activity may severely impact our customers and may cause them to be unable to pay for services provided; and
• the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

Shentel has implemented policies and procedures designed to mitigate the risk of adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, on the Company’s operations, but it may incur additional costs to ensure continuity of business operations caused by COVID-19, or other future pandemics, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. However, the extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and actions taken to contain COVID-19 or its impact.
