The backlog was $40.2 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $32.7 million a year earlier (as restated).

 

   

Of the $14.4 million in Software revenue for the first quarter, $6.8 million was maintenance revenue and $7.6 million was operations revenue, compared to $6.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of the $12.5 million in Software revenue for first quarter of 2012.

 

   

The renewal rate for maintenance in the first quarter was 98.8 percent.

Total Company

 

   

Consolidated operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) totaled $37.6 million in the first quarter, with $24.5 million for Wireless and $13.1 million for Software, compared to $38.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, with $26.8 million for Wireless and $11.2 million for Software.

 

   

Capital expenses were $2.3 million, compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.

 

   

Dividends paid to stockholders totaled $2.7 million in the first quarter.

 

   

The Company’s cash balance at March 31, 2013 was $71.7 million.

 

   

The number of full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 2013 totaled 656, including 367 for Wireless and 289 for Software, compared to a total of 685 at March 31, 2012, including 420 for Wireless and 265 for Software.


Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer, said: “USA Mobility continued to make excellent progress in the first quarter. Both our Wireless and Software businesses met or exceeded their performance goals in virtually all operating categories as consolidated revenue increased and expenses declined from the prior quarter. In addition, we continued to maintain strong operating cash flow and operating margins, and generated sufficient cash flow to again return capital to stockholders in the form of dividend distributions.”

Kelly added: “Once again our Wireless business exceeded expectations for gross additions, revenue, ARPU, and expenses. We were also pleased to see our annual rates of subscriber and revenue erosion reach record lows.”

Kelly said the Company’s Wireless sales efforts during the quarter continued to focus on the core market segments of Healthcare, Government and Large Enterprise. “These core segments represented approximately 92 percent of our direct subscriber base and 88 percent of our direct paging revenue at the end of the quarter. Healthcare comprised 72.5 percent of our direct subscriber base at March 31st and continued to be our best performing market segment with the highest percentage of direct gross additions (82.6%) and the lowest rate of direct net unit loss (0.5%). Clearly, Healthcare providers continue to recognize and benefit from the reliability and cost advantages of paging for their most critical messaging needs.”

Commenting on the Software business, Kelly said: “First quarter revenue and bookings increased from the year-earlier quarter while our backlog was up 23 percent to $40.2 million from a year ago. In addition, our sales team brought in a record number of large contracts during the quarter from the Healthcare and Government business segments and continued to build a solid pipeline of prospective business. Customer demand remained strong for such software solutions as call center management, clinical alerting middleware, critical smartphone communications and emergency notification. While sales activity remained strongest in North America, we also added new accounts in the Asia-Pacific region and Middle East, including a major medical and research center in Qatar.”

During the quarter the Company introduced a software upgrade that significantly improves physician and nurse communications. “The enhancement links two of our most popular software solutions, Amcom Mobile Connect and Amcom Care Connect,” said Kelly. “Amcom Mobile Connect supports secure and HIPPA-compliant text-messaging, while Amcom Care Connect helps caregivers connect quickly on their own


schedules and preferred devices. The new feature — Amcom Mobile Connect 3.3 — provides a “chat view” screen and updates page that makes it easier for caregivers to connect with one another. The solution gives physicians and nurses the flexibility to talk or text, plus it incorporates critical escalation features when a caregiver is unavailable. Many of our 900 hospital customers had previously requested this specific type of solution, so we’re very pleased to be able to integrate this capability to enhance patient safety and care.”

Shawn E. Endsley, chief financial officer, said the Company continued its positive momentum from 2012 in both the Wireless and Software businesses. “Lower revenue and subscriber churn along with operating expense management in the Wireless business contributed to strong operating cash flow and EBITDA,” he noted. “In addition, higher bookings and backlog in the Software business reflect continuation of the positive trends from the second half of 2012.”

Regarding financial guidance for 2013, Endsley said the Company currently projects total revenue to range from $195 million to $213 million, operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) to range from $150 million to $152 million, and capital expenses to range from $8.1 million to $9.7 million.

USA Mobility’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at 9:00 am EST on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at The Westin Alexandria, 400 Courthouse Square, Alexandria, Virginia.
