Norwalk-based Frontier Communications Corp. said its first-quarter losses more than tripled, related, in part, to higher expenses from ongoing acquisition and integration costs in California, Texas and Florida that wrapped up April 1.
The telecommunications company said it lost $186 million, or 21 cents per share, in the first quarter, compared to a $51 million loss, or 5 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
The company continues to face declines in its residential and business customers compared to the previous quarter.
Last month, Frontier completed its $10.54 billion acquisition of Verizon Communications’. wireline operations providing services to residential, commercial and wholesale customers in California, Texas and Florida.
