Rye, NY – May 20, 2021 – LICT Corporation (“LICT” or the “Company”; OTC Pink®: LICT) reports unaudited, financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

(Y)our “S” in ESG-

SHAREHOLDER DESIGNATED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM — In 2016, the Company adopted a Shareholder Designated Charitable Contribution Program. Under the Program, all registered shareholders are eligible to designate charities and the company will a make a contribution to that charity. In 2016 through 2020, the company made $100 per share contribution on behalf of its shareholders to their designated charities. LICT is committed to giving back to our communities and, over the past four years, LICT has made over $6.0 million in charitable contributions.

COVID-19 – LICT continues to closely monitor developments as we begin to see pandemic related restrictions lifted.  The voice and data services we provide are essential to the communities we serve. We will continue to take steps to mitigate the potential risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic to our teammates and customers. 

FIRST QUARTER – In 2021, LICT’s first quarter revenues were $32.0 million compared to $30.0 million for the corresponding quarter in 2020. EBITDA was $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $13.7 million in 2019.

Non-regulated revenues increased 13%, or $1.9 million, to $16.4 million from the prior year’s first quarter $14.5 million, driven by broadband and cable modem sales. Non-regulated EBITDA rose just over 15% to $7.1 million, from $6.2 million.

Regulated revenues were $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 versus the prior year’s first quarter of $15.5 million. Regulated EBITDA was $7.2 million compared to $7.6 million last year. The quarter over quarter decline in EBITDA is predominantly due to expenses related to increased customer installs, maintenance of fiber and additional testing for compliance with A-CAM reporting.

OTHER INCOME – Other income increased by $0.6 million due to an increase of Patronage Capital of $0.3 million related to our $50 million line of credit with CoBank, and $0.3 million investment income from an affiliated company.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Diluted earnings per share from operations for the first quarter of 2021 was $378 per share as compared to $324 per sharein 2020, which excludes the $504 gain per share on the sale of MODOC.

ALTERNATIVE – CONNECT AMERICA COST MODEL (“A-CAM”) PROGRAM –All LICT telephone companies have elected to participate in the FCC’s A-CAM and A-CAM II programs. The A-CAM program is designed to speed and expand the deployment of broadband capabilities throughout the nation’s rural areas and replaced two prior USF mechanisms for companies electing A-CAM. LICT received $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 for A-CAM and A-CAM II revenues, as compared to $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The FCC’s A-CAM program, which commenced January 1, 2017, with revisions in 2018 and 2019, and the addition of A-CAM II in Wisconsin in 2019, is designed to increase broadband speed and expand broadband deployment in rural portions of the country with mandatory build-out requirements for receipt of support. A-CAM and A-CAM II replaced two prior legacy FCC Universal Service Fund (“USF”) mechanisms which LICT had been receiving.  LICT is actively building and expanding broadband facilities. 

EMERGENCY BROADBAND BENEFIT – LICT is actively participating in the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) $3.2 billion Emergency Broadband Benefit Program to support our ongoing commitment to provide broadband to the rural communities we serve and help close the digital divide.  This program provides consumers who are eligible for a broadband credit of up to $50 per month (up to $75 for households on Tribal Lands) towards their qualifying internet plan for the length of the program and we offer a variety of broadband options that qualify under the Emergency Broadband Benefit program.

BALANCE SHEET – LICT benefited from strong cash from operations in the first quarter of 2021.  In addition, this  reflects  the return of a portion of our FCC deposit of $20 million for Auction 107, as well as the reduction of the borrowings against our line of credit by $30.0 million dollars.  At the end of the first quarter of 2021 our net cash position totaled $22.1 million.

2021 OUTLOOK – LICT’s guidance for 2021 remains unchanged with revenues of $127 – $131 million, EBITDA in the range of $58 to $60 million, and total capital expenditures between $27 and $29 million. We are aware that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may impact revenue growth.

FCC SPECTRUM AUCTIONSLICT Wireless Broadband Company, LLC (“LICT Wireless”), a wholly owned subsidiary, participated in FCC Auction 107 – 3.7 GHz band which ended on February 18, 2021.  In this auction, LICT acquired 5 licenses in 5 Partial Economic Areas (PEA) for $4.3 million of spectrum 3.7 GHz band licenses.  In March 2021, the FCC returned $15.7 million which is our $20.0 million original deposit less the $4.3 million in licenses we were highest bidder on.

During the first quarter we continued our efforts to deploy the spectrum licenses we were awarded in Auction 105 of last year which will enable us to reach some of our more remote customers with increased speeds.  In addition, we continue the filing process required by the FCC for the 5 markets we were awarded in the RDOF auction. 

STRATEGIC REVIEW –  As previously announced, LICT has initiated a strategic review to accelerate and broaden the Corporation’s businesses. The actions to be explored will include, among others, the possible creation of a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC”); the spin-off of one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries as a separate entity; potential strategic and accretive acquisitions in the Corporation’s current or adjacent industries; and the possibility of raising additional capital by such means as a rights offering to the Corporation’s existing shareholders.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES – In the first quarter of 2021, capital expenditures were $7.1 million, of which $4.6 million was for non-regulated activities and $2.5 million for regulated activities. Our capital spending will enable us to meet and exceed our A-CAM requirements, offer enhanced broadband speeds, and increase the overall fiber route miles in our network.

As of March 31, 2021, LICT owns and operates 5,251 miles of fiber optic cable, 11,492 miles of copper cable, 767 miles of coaxial cable and 57 towers.

SHARE REPURCHASES – During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 134 shares for $2.6 million, with an average price of $19,100 per share. On March 31, 2021, 18,399 shares were outstanding. 

OPERATING STATISTICS / BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s broadband penetration in its franchised telephone service territories, based on its total Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (“ILEC”) voice lines, was 91.9%, as compared to 90.8% at December 31, 2020.   During the first quarter the Company’s broadband lines grew by 1.8% to just over 40,500 units, this marginal increase offset our voice and video line loss resulting in an overall growth of 0.4%:

LICT Corporation Announces Broad-Ranging Strategic Review

Rye, NY – April 26, 2021 – LICT Corporation (the “Corporation”; OTC Pink®: LICT) is announcing that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has initiated a strategic review to accelerate and broaden the development of the Corporation’s  businesses.  At a special meeting held on April 23, 2021, the Board directed the consideration and analysis of a full range of measures to unlock current and enhance and surface shareholder value.

The actions to be explored will include, among others, the possible creation of a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC”); the spin-off of one or more of the Corporation’s subsidiaries as a separate entity; potential strategic and accretive acquisitions in the Corporation’s current or adjacent industries; and the possibility of raising long term debt.

 A SPAC gives the Corporation flexibility to seek out and fund transactions in its existing or related businesses or expand into new areas.

In addition, Shareholders have benefited through spin-offs.  CIBL, Inc., spun off in 2007, initially traded beginning in 2008 at around $200 per share; it has recently traded as high as $1,800 per share.  Likewise, ICTC Group, Inc., spun off in 2010, initially traded at around $15 per share and was acquired in 2018 for $65 per share. Indeed, LICT was itself a spin-off from Lynch Corporation and started at $2,500 per share. LICT is analyzing its current portfolio of companies to determine whether our shareholders might benefit from another such spin-off.

In sum, at the Board’s affirmative direction, the Corporation will systematically seek, analyze, and evaluate a full range of means to expand the scope and scale of its businesses, to accelerate growth across all of them, and thereby to enhance and surface our shareholders’ value.

 (Y)our “S” in ESG- 

SHAREHOLDER DESIGNATED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION -The Board of Directors approved in November 2020, a $100. per share, registered shareholder designated charitable contribution. If all shares outstanding are registered in the shareholders’ names at the record date, the total contribution would be approximately $2.2 million. Since the inception of LICT’s program in 2016, and counting this current amount, LICT will have contributed charitable gifts of close to $6.5 million to more than 200 501(c)(3) institutions. 

Rye, NY – February 18, 2021 – LICT Corporation (“LICT” or the “Company”; OTC Pink®: LICT) reports preliminary, unaudited, financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

COVID-19 LICT continues to closely monitor developments and is actively taking steps to mitigate the potential risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic to our teammates and our to customers. LICT provides essential voice and data services to the communities we serve. To protect our team while continuing to provide the essential communications services needed to support remote work and remote learning, we adapted installation and repair service processes to limit customer contact and minimize teammate contact. In addition, LICT changed technician dispatch procedures to further limit contact and provided personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves and sanitizing products. Technicians are encouraged to evaluate the safety risks of each in-person installation or repair and reschedule the appointment if he or she determines that circumstances at the location present risk. Office-based teammates continue to work remotely and, for 

teammates that work in the company’s offices, masks and social distancing are required. We thank all our teammates for their focus on their communities. 

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, LICT has: 

  • Initiated charitable contributions to support members of our community that have been impacted by the economic fallout from the pandemic. Each of LICT’s teammates have contributed to help schools and local charitable organizations support community members effected by COVID-19. 
  • Provided free or discounted services to families to support remote learning. 
  • Set up community Wi-Fi hotspots so community members can stay connected to family, work, and learning 

FOURTH QUARTER – In 2020, LICT’s fourth quarter revenues were $31.3 million compared to $30.8 million for the corresponding quarter in 2019. EBITDA was $14.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2019. In addition, we received cash of $0.7 million in 2019 from our equity investment in Modoc which was sold at the beginning of 2020. 

Non-regulated revenues increased by $2.0 million or 14%, to $16.2 million from the prior year’s $14.2 million, of which about $1.2 million resulted from an increase in sales to our broadband offerings and our video cable modem service. The increased demand for broadband speeds from both new customers as well as existing customers increasing speeds, is partially driven by the continued need for both remote learning and remote work. Non-regulated EBITDA rose just over 25% to $7.3 million, from $5.8 million. 

Regulated revenues slipped to $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from the prior year’s reported $16.6 million. Regulated EBITDA was $7.2 million compared to $8.8 million last year. The year-to-year decline in regulated revenues and EBITDA is traceable to a fourth quarter 2019 adjustment increasing revenues by $0.8 million related to the cost recovery mechanism reviews. 

In the fourth quarter of 2019, LICT completed the sale of its New Hampshire operation, and is treating the results of the New Hampshire operation as a discontinued operation. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2020, LICT completed the sale of its Topeka AWS spectrum license. 

FULL YEAR RESULTS – Revenues for 2020 were $124.1 million and EBITDA of $57.6 million compared to 2019 revenues of $118.0 million and EBITDA of $54.5. In addition, we received cash of $0.6 million in 2020 versus $2.5 million in 2019, which is included in Exhibit A. 

EARNINGS PER SHARE Diluted earnings per share from operations during the fourth quarter of 2020 were $325 per share as compared to $300 per share in 2019. The full year diluted earnings per share from operations for 2020 was $1,343, which excludes the $512 for the gain on the sale of Modoc Limited Partnership in January 2020, compared to $1,248 at December 31, 2020. Shares outstanding at December 31, 2020 were 18,533 and 19,188 at December 31, 2019. 

ALTERNATIVE – CONNECT AMERICA COST MODEL (“A-CAM”) PROGRAM –All LICT telephone companies have elected to participate in the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC’s”) A-CAM and A-CAM II programs and received $32.1 million in 2020 for A-CAM and A-CAM II revenues. 

The FCC’s A-CAM program, which commenced January 1, 2017, with revisions in 2018 and 2019, and the addition of A-CAM II in Wisconsin in 2019, is designed to increase broadband speed and expand broadband deployment in rural portions of the country with mandatory build-out requirements for receipt of support. A-CAM and A-CAM II replaced two prior legacy FCC Universal Service Fund (“USF”) mechanisms which LICT had been receiving. LICT is actively building and expanding broadband facilities. 

BALANCE SHEET – LICT benefited from strong cash from operations in addition to the proceeds from the MODOC Partnership sale. At 2020 year-end we had a net cash position 0f $24.1 million up from $3.7 million on December 31, 2019. 

2021 OUTLOOK – LICT’s initial guidance for 2021 estimates total revenues of $127 – $131 million, EBITDA in the range of $58 to $60 million, and total capital expenditures between $27 and $29 million. We are aware that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may impact non-regulated revenue growth and potentially impact bad debt expense as an economic contraction may impair customers’ ability to purchase and pay for service. 

FCC SPECTRUM AUCTIONS LICT Wireless Broadband Company, LLC (“LICT Wireless”), a wholly owned subsidiary , participated in FCC Auction 105 – CBRS band which ended on August 25, 2020. In this auction, LICT acquired 162 licenses in 78 counties for $4.6 million of spectrum CBRS band licenses. 

In Auction 904, also known as Rural Development Opportunity Fund or “RDOF”, which was held October 29, 2020 to November 23, 2020, LICT was awarded 8 census block groups in 3 states. Auction 904 is a part of the Federal Communications Commission’s Universal Service Fund supporting the expansion of broadband internet services to underserved rural areas of the United States. 

In addition, LICT Wireless is a qualified bidder in Auction 107- C-Band, which is ongoing. 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES – We continue to focus our capital investments to increase speeds which enables us to better serve our communities for remote work and remote learning, with enhanced broadband speeds through the increase of overall fiber route miles in our network. In the fourth quarter of 2020, capital expenditures were $8.8 million, of which $4.2 million was for non-regulated activities and $4.6 million for regulated activities, bringing our full year capital expenditures to $28.2 million dollars for 2020 compared to $24.9 million in 2019. 

As of December 31, 2020, LICT operations deployed 5,211 miles of fiber optic cable, 11,490 miles of copper cable, 762 miles of coaxial cable and 56 towers. 

SHARE REPURCHASES – During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 655 shares for $11.0 million, with an average price of $16,821 per share. As of December 31, 2020, 18,533 shares were outstanding. 

OPERATING STATISTICS / BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT – As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s broadband penetration in its franchised telephone service territories, based on its total Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (“ILEC”) voice lines, was 90.8%, as compared to 84.8% at December 31, 2019. The Company’s broadband RGUs grew by 12.5% to just under 40,000 units, outpacing our voice and video line loss resulting in a overall growth of 5.0%. Our capital spending will enable us to meet A-CAM requirements, offer enhanced broadband speeds, and increase the overall fiber route miles in our network. Our summary operating statistics excludes New Hampshire operations, which was sold in 2019, are as follows:

LICT Corporation Shareholder Designated Charitable Contribution Program

LICT Corporation (OTC Pink: LICT) announces today that it will continue its Shareholder Charitable Contribution program for all registered shareholders. Each registered shareholder will be eligible to designate a charity to which the company will make a donation of $100 per share on behalf of the shareholder.

At LICT, we believe charitable giving is a cornerstone of society and an obligation for those with means to make a difference in the world. As an organization, LICT will have no control over the donations, but we are happy to make them on behalf of our shareholders.

Shareholders will have until February 12, 2021 to register shares in their own name to participate in the program.
