Springfield, VA (October 26, 2011) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging, mobile voice and data and unified communications solutions, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on December 9, 2011 to stockholders of record on November 18, 2011.

Total revenue for the third quarter was $61.5 million. Revenue from the Company’s Wireless business (USA Mobility Wireless) was $48.6 million, compared to $52.1 million in the second quarter and $56.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. Revenue from the Software business (Amcom Software) was $12.9 million, compared to $13.1 million in the second quarter. Software maintenance revenue was reduced by $1.5 million for purchase accounting adjustments in the third quarter, compared to a reduction of $2.6 million in the second quarter. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, Software revenue for the third quarter would have been $14.4 million.

Third quarter EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion) totaled $21.3 million, compared to $21.4 million in the second quarter.

EBITDA margin (or EBITDA as a percentage of revenue) for Wireless was 41.1 percent, compared to 39.2 percent in the second quarter and 38.8 percent in the year-earlier quarter (or 37.4 percent absent the one-time benefits).

Software

 

   

Bookings for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $14.2 million, compared to $15.2 million in the second quarter.

 

   

Backlog was $21.3 million at September 30th, compared to $20.5 million at June 30th.

 

   

Of the $12.9 million in Software revenue for the third quarter, $4.6 million was maintenance revenue and $8.3 million was operations revenue, compared to $3.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of the $13.1 million in Software revenue for the prior quarter.

 

   

The renewal rate for maintenance in the third quarter was 99.6 percent.

Total Company

 

   

Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) totaled $40.2 million in the third quarter, with $28.6 million for Wireless and $11.6 million for Software, compared to operating expenses of $43.7 million in the second quarter, with $31.7 million for Wireless and $12.0 million for Software.

 

   

Consolidated EBITDA margin was 34.6 percent, compared to 32.9 percent in the second quarter.

 

   

Capital expenses were $1.8 million, compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2010.

 

   

Dividends paid to stockholders totaled $5.5 million in the third quarter.

 

   

The Company’s cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $40.6 million.

 

   

The Company retired $9.6 million of bank debt during the third quarter. The outstanding debt balance at September 30, 2011 was $28.3 million at an interest rate of 5.25 percent.

“Despite a still challenging economy, we again made excellent progress during the quarter in both our Wireless and Software businesses,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “Results either met or exceeded our key performance targets and were consistent with the adjusted financial guidance we revised last quarter. On the Wireless side, we were pleased to see continued improvement in the annual rate of paging subscriber and revenue erosion, while posting record margins. This will be the seventh consecutive year since our formation in late 2004 where we have expanded our operating margins. Additionally, our Software subsidiary, Amcom Software, recorded a strong quarter in a tough economic environment with solid bookings and a growing backlog. In addition, we continued to maintain high operating margins, reduce expenses, pay down debt incurred with the Amcom acquisition, and generate sufficient cash flow to again return capital to stockholders in the form of dividend distributions.”

Kelly said USA Mobility’s Wireless business continued to focus its sales efforts around the core market segments of Healthcare, Government and Large Enterprise during the quarter. The three segments represented 89.8 percent


of the Company’s direct subscriber base and 85.0 percent of its direct paging revenue at the end of the quarter. “Healthcare now represents 66.3 percent of our direct customer base,” Kelly noted, “and continues to be our best performing market segment with the highest rate of gross placements and lowest rate of net unit loss. Gross placements of paging units within Healthcare totaled 42,000 during the quarter, while the net loss rate among Healthcare accounts was 1.8 percent. Our Healthcare segment continues to benefit from two primary factors: (1) recognition by customers that the acquisition of Amcom underscores our long-term commitment to the Healthcare segment; and (2) recognition among providers that paging offers well-defined cost and reliability advantages that enable them to meet their most critical messaging needs.”

Commenting on the Company’s Software business, Christopher Heim, president of Amcom Software, said: “Amcom continued to see strong bookings during the quarter. Demand was strongest in North American hospitals where we sold software solutions for call center management, emergency notification, critical smartphone messaging, and clinical middleware. We also experienced good sales activity in the U.S. government sector and in our Australian market. As a result, we ended the quarter with a solid backlog and pipeline of new business opportunities. In addition, we continued to identify cross-selling opportunities for both Software and Wireless sales teams with the goal of enhancing sales prospects for each line of business.”

Shawn E. Endsley, chief financial officer, said the Company continued to reduce operating expenses and further retired bank debt during the third quarter. “Recurring operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) for Wireless decreased 19.4 percent from the year-earlier quarter,” Endsley noted, “exceeding the 14.4 percent rate of Wireless revenue decline. In addition, we repaid $9.6 million in bank debt incurred in connection with the Amcom acquisition, reducing our outstanding balance to $28.3 million at September 30th while maintaining a cash balance of $40.6 million.”

Regarding financial guidance for 2011, Endsley said the Company is maintaining its prior guidance based on current trends. The Company provides financial guidance (schedule attached) for both the full-year, assuming the acquisition of Amcom Software had occurred on January 1, 2011, and with an adjusted guidance range, which reflects Software’s results from March 3, 2011 (the date of the acquisition) along with the required purchase accounting adjustments to maintenance revenue. As such, Endsley said the Company expects total revenues for 2011 to range from $235 million to $248 million, with Wireless between $193 million and $200 million and Software between $42 million and $48 million; operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) to range from $162 million to $174 million, with Wireless between $127 million and $134 million and Software between $35 million and $40 million; and capital expenses to range from $6.5 million to $9 million, with Wireless between $6 million and $8 and Software between $0.5 million and $1 million.
