NEW YORK, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today announced first quarter 2017 operating and financial results, including record revenue of $1.3 billion, up 8% versus the prior year period.
Net income totaled $207 million in the first quarter 2017, up 20% from $172 million in the first quarter 2016. Net income per diluted common share grew 28% to $0.04 in the first quarter 2017, compared to $0.03 in the first quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA grew 14% in the first quarter 2017 to a quarterly record $502 million, compared to $441 million in the first quarter 2016.
"The year is off to a very solid start for our business, and we are on track to achieve our guidance for 2017. I'm particularly proud of the record adjusted EBITDA of more than half a billion dollars and record adjusted EBITDA margin of 38.7% we recorded in the first quarter," said Jim Meyer, Chief Executive Officer, SiriusXM. "We are also pleased to announce this morning the acquisition of Automatic Labs Inc., an exciting company focused on innovative products that broaden our array of connected vehicle services," added Meyer.
"We remain focused on delivering a bundle of compelling, timely and entertaining programming for subscribers who have come to expect the best in audio from SiriusXM," said Meyer. "We continue to air new voices from unique personalities, such as special series from Brooke Shields, comedic TV star Jim Parsons, André Leon Talley of Vogue fame, and a new daily show from Craig Ferguson. In the first quarter, we again hosted a series of special subscriber-only events, including a great live performance from Ed Sheeran in New York City and our special Music Lounge in South Beach Miami leading up to the Ultra Music Festival," added Meyer.
FIRST QUARTER 2017 HIGHLIGHTS
"During the first quarter, we spent approximately $300 million to repurchase 62 million shares of our common stock. SiriusXM's average share count in the quarter declined by 6% from the first quarter of 2016 as a result of our share repurchase program. Additionally, we returned approximately $47 million in cash to our stockholders in the form of dividends in the quarter, bringing total capital returned to stockholders to approximately $350 million in the first quarter. Our debt to adjusted EBITDA was just 3.1 times, and we ended the first quarter with a cash balance of $230 million and undrawn revolver capacity of $1.2 billion," noted David Frear, Chief Financial Officer, SiriusXM.
"Approximately $160 million of the company's cash at quarter end was held in Canadian dollars in anticipation of closing the proposed recapitalization of our Canadian affiliate, SiriusXM Canada Inc. We expect to continue delivering strong capital returns to stockholders while at the same time making investments in technology, the connected car, content and our satellite infrastructure," added Frear.
2017 GUIDANCE
Our full-year 2017 guidance for net subscribers, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, originally issued on January 5, 2017, remains as follows:
CAPITAL RETURN PROGRAM
Shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in privately negotiated transactions, including in accelerated stock repurchase transactions and transactions with Liberty Media and its affiliates, or otherwise. The company expects to fund the additional repurchases through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and future borrowings. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.
Our dividend policy may change at any time without notice to our stockholders. The declaration and payment of dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, limitations imposed by our indebtedness, legal requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
