Management Comments

"We were pleased to report another solid quarter of financial results, but the real story was our rapid growth in customers and application usage, coupled with the continued strength in ARPU," said Jim Geiger, chief executive officer of Cbeyond. "We recorded strong sales across all our markets, including our earliest ones where we've we've

 been in business four to five years. And our applications used per customer climbed to 5.2, contributing to our positive trend in ARPU and high customer retention rate."

Second Quarter Financial and Business Summary

Revenues and ARPU

Cbeyond reported revenues of $52.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 37.6% from the second quarter of 2005. Revenues included a $0.9 million positive adjustment relating to customer promotional liabilities recorded in prior periods. These promotional obligations were recorded at their maximum amount in prior periods due to the lack of sufficient historical experience required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting

) to estimate the amounts that would ultimately be claimed by customers. Going forward, revenues recorded in current periods will include estimates of breakage arising from each type of sales promotion for which the company has sufficient experience to make estimates under GAAP.

ARPU, or average revenue per customer location, was $768 in the second quarter, as compared to $751 in the first quarter of 2006. Excluding the $0.9 million revenue adjustment described above, ARPU was $755 in the second quarter, an increase of 0.5% from the first quarter of 2006. While Cbeyond had previously expected that ARPU would decline moderately through at least 2006, ARPU increased in the quarter due to added revenue from our mobile service and an acceleration acceleration, change in the velocity of a body with respect to time.
