Allied Riser Communications Corp. (Nasdaq:ARCC) Previous Close: Up 6% to $0.68 on vol. 910,200 Shares: HOLD

Allied Riser Communications Corp. (Nasdaq:ARCC), the pioneer and market leader in providing innovative, in-building, high-speed broadband data services and applications to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), recently reviewed the first quarter operating results, discussed the company's outlook for the remainder of 2001, and announced some of the future initiatives being pursued by the company during a scheduled conference call.

'Overall, I am pleased with our first quarter results in light of the continuing economic difficulties experienced by companies in every sector of the economy. I am encouraged that we were able to meet our previous sequential revenue growth guidance for the quarter, while at the same time being able to reduce our selling and general and administrative expenses,' said Jerry Dinsmore, ARC's president and chief executive officer. 'We are committed to drive additional cost from the business and are cautiously optimistic about our ability to establish new revenue streams, as we continue to move forward.'

'As a result of our revised network deployment and the general economic downturn experienced in all sectors of the economy, we believe our sequential quarterly revenue growth for the remainder of 2001 will be between 15-percent and 25-percent, which should produce between $40,000,000 and $45,000,000 in revenue for the full year. We also believe that we will be able to reduce cash expenditures by $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 for the year, which when combined with our revised revenue guidance should produce negative EBITDA of approximately $105,000,000 to $110,000,000, versus our original estimate of $120,000,000,' said Quen Bredeweg, ARC's chief financial officer.

"The Commerce Department's preliminary reading on GDP was taken by many analysts as the best indication to date that the economy will be able to stave off dipping into a recession. Accordingly, expectations of further aggressive rate cuts from the Federal Reserve are waning. The Fed next meets on May 15 to mull over monetary policy, with many prognosticators shifting rate cut predictions from a more aggressive 50-basis-point cut, to a more moderate 25-basis-point forecast." stated Peter Antipatis.
