Second Quarter 2026 Results Compared with Second Quarter 2025
- Residential & SMB - Glo Fiber Expansion Markets3 revenue (
28.1% of total) increased$6.5 million , or32.8% , primarily due to a32.1% increase in data revenue generating units (“RGUs”) driven by the Company’s increase in penetration rates and increase in passings. - Residential & SMB - Incumbent Broadband Markets4 revenue (
43.1% of total) decreased$2.6 million , or6.0% , due to lower video and data revenue. Video revenue declined due to a14.1% decrease in video RGUs as customers switched to streaming video services. Data revenue declined due to a2.6% decline in data ARPU, driven in part by our rate card in markets where we face a fixed broadband competitor and in part due to our recently implemented rate card in lower demographic markets experiencing softer demand. - Commercial Fiber revenue (
22.9% of total) increased$1.9 million , or9.8% , due to a combination of recurring revenue in the enterprise and carrier verticals, a non-cash sales-type lease of customer equipment and a negative non-cash deferred revenue adjustment for one of our national wireless carrier customers in the second quarter of 2025 - RLEC & Other revenue (
5.9% of total) decreased$0.9 million , or14.7% , primarily due to the decrease in DSL RGUs and to a lesser extent a decrease in government support revenue. - Cost of services increased by
$0.1 million , or0.2% primarily due to increased fleet maintenance and fuel expenses. - Selling, general and administrative expense increased by
$1.3 million , or4.3% . The increase was primarily due to higher operating and property taxes, higher advertising to support RGU growth and higher software maintenance expenses. - Restructuring, integration and acquisition expense decreased by
$0.1 million , or35.0% . The decrease was primarily due to fees incurred in the prior year to amend debt terms. - Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$4.5 million , or12.8% . The decrease was primarily due to a$4.2 million write-off in the prior year related to inventory assets that were no longer planned to be used.

Other Information
- Capital expenditures were
$146.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with$169.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The$23.2 million decrease in capital expenditures was primarily driven by lower capital expenditures on government grant construction projects in Incumbent Broadband Markets. - The Company received
$20.6 million and$17.3 million in government grant cash receipts during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. - As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s total available liquidity was

In addition, the Company has$105.1 million of VFN commitments that are not available to draw as of June 30, 2026. The available capacity of the VFN will increase based on the secured fiber network revenue growth from the ABS Entities multiplied by (i) a margin as defined in the ABS Indenture and (ii) a 6.25x multiple. - On February 23, 2026, the Company announced a reduction in force of approximately
10% of its employees to align the business with the end of the Glo Fiber construction phase, which is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026. Employee departure dates will be staggered with the largest impact in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Company expects to save approximately$12.3 million annually beginning in 2027 with approximately half of the savings impacting operating expenses and half impacting capitalized labor that is included in capital expenditures. The Company expects to incur approximately$3.1 million in restructuring costs to achieve these savings. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Shentel incurred$2.2 million in severance expense, included in restructuring, integration and acquisition expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company made$0.4M of severance payments during this period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (loss) income from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the impact of depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, other income (expense), net, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), stock compensation expense, transaction costs related to acquisition and disposition events (including professional advisory fees, integration costs, and related compensatory matters), restructuring expense, tax on equity award vesting and exercise events, and other non-comparable items. A reconciliation of Net loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below herein.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, divided by revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures of performance to evaluate operating effectiveness and assess its ability to increase revenues while controlling expense growth and the scalability of the Company’s business growth strategy. Adjusted EBITDA is also a significant performance measure used by the Company in its incentive compensation programs. The Company believes that the exclusion of the expense and income items eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provides management and investors a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s core operating results by excluding items that are not comparable across reporting periods or that do not otherwise relate to the Company’s ongoing operations. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results. However, use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as analytical tools has limitations, and investors and others should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin or similarly titled measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

(1) Homes and businesses are considered passed (“passings”) if we can connect them to our network without further extending the distribution system. Passings is an estimate based upon the best available information. Passings will vary among video, broadband data and voice services.
(2) Penetration is calculated by dividing the number of users by the number of passings or available homes, as appropriate.
(3) 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.
