Forward guidance

The company expects the negative impacts associated with the actions it took in response to the pandemic to continue into the third quarter of 2020, due primarily to reduced data overage fees, late charges and reconnect fees during the early part of the third quarter and elevated labor costs throughout the third quarter.

Tailwinds

  • Increase in residential data revenues associated with the significant number of residential data customers acquired during the second quarter of 2020 is anticipated to partially offset these reduced revenues and additional costs.

Headwinds

  • Reduced data overage fees
  • Late charges
  • Reconnect fees during the early part of the third quarter
  • Elevated labor costs throughout the third quarter
  • Various uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economy and the Company’s business
