USA Mobility Reports Second Quarter Operating Results; Board Declares Quarterly Cash Distribution; $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program Announced
Revenue and Expense Trends Continue to Improve; Operating Cash
Flow Margins Reach New Highs
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless
messaging and communications services, today announced operating
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Total revenue for the second quarter was $92.1 million, compared
to $94.8 in the first quarter and $107.5 million in the second quarter
of 2007. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, accretion and goodwill impairment) in the second quarter
totaled $30.6 million, compared to $29.9 million in the first quarter
and $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. Net income in the
second quarter was $10.3 million, or $0.37 per fully diluted share,
compared to net income of $13.0 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted
share, in the year-earlier quarter.
Second quarter results included:
-- EBITDA margin (or EBITDA as a percentage of revenue) increased
to 33.2 percent in the second quarter, compared to 31.6
percent in the first quarter and 31.0 percent in the second
quarter of 2007, reaching its highest level since USA Mobility
was formed in 2004.
-- The quarterly rate of revenue erosion improved to 2.8 percent,
compared to 5.4 percent in the first quarter and 3.7 percent
in the year-earlier quarter. The annual rate of revenue
erosion improved to 14.3 percent from 15.0 percent in the
first quarter and 15.5 percent in the second quarter of 2007.
-- Total paging ARPU (average revenue per unit) was $8.54 in the
second quarter, an increase from $8.49 in the first quarter
and equal to $8.54 in the year-earlier quarter.
-- Units in service totaled 3,176,000 at June 30, 2008, compared
to 3,333,000 at March 31, 2008. Net unit loss in the second
quarter was 157,000, compared to 152,000 in the first quarter
and 155,000 in the second quarter of 2007.
-- The annual rate of subscriber erosion was 15.5 percent,
compared to 14.8 percent in the first quarter and 15.2 percent
in the year-earlier quarter. The quarterly rate of subscriber
loss was 4.7 percent, compared to 4.4 percent in first quarter
and 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2007.
-- Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization,
accretion and goodwill impairment) totaled $61.5 million in
the second quarter, a reduction of 17.1 percent from $74.1
million in the second quarter of 2007. Operating expenses
declined $12.7 million since the second quarter of 2007 and,
as a percentage of revenue, were at their lowest level since
2004.
-- Capital expenses were $3.9 million, compared to $4.0 million
in the first quarter.
-- The Company's cash balance at June 30, 2008 was $85.8 million.
"We continued to make excellent progress during the second
quarter," said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive
officer, "as the Company's results met or exceeded the majority of our
performance objectives and were largely consistent with the financial
guidance we provided earlier this year. Our annual rate of revenue
erosion showed further improvement, average revenue per unit (ARPU)
increased in the quarter, operating expenses declined and our cash
flow margins reached record highs. Although overall subscriber
cancellations remained higher than expected," Kelly added, "we
continued to see lower net unit loss rates in our core market segment
of Healthcare, which now represents 40.0 percent of our customer
base."
The Company's Board of Directors declared a regular cash
distribution of $0.25 per share, payable on September 11, 2008 to
stockholders of record on August 14, 2008. The Company expects the
September cash distribution, a total of approximately $6.8 million, to
be paid as a return of capital. The Company's Board of Directors also
adopted a stock repurchase plan to buy back up to $50 million of USA
Mobility common stock. The repurchase plan will commence on or about
August 5, 2008 and will continue for up to twelve months. Credit
Suisse Securities (USA) LLC will administer the stock repurchase
program.
Commenting on the Company's capital distribution policy going
forward, Kelly stated: "While we revised our cash distribution rate in
the second quarter to better reflect projected cash flow over the next
several years, our commitment to return cash to our stockholders has
not changed. We recognize that notwithstanding our excellent current
results, continued levels of subscriber erosion will continue to put
pressure on our future operating margins and our revised cash
distribution rate takes that potential into effect."
Kelly said the Company decided to move forward with a stock
repurchase program at this time after a ruling on July 8, 2008 by the
United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit delayed a final
decision on its appeal of the Federal Communications Commission's
Back-Up Power Order (Order). The Court held the appeal in abeyance
pending approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of new
paperwork requirements associated with the Order, a process that is
expected to postpone a final ruling in the case for at least several
months. "Although we were disappointed the Court did not vacate the
Order at this time," Kelly said, "we believe it ultimately will do so
based on the merits of our appeal. In the meantime, the delay serves
to reduce the potential cost of compliance as we continue to eliminate
transmitters in connection with our long-term network rationalization
program."
Thomas L. Schilling, chief operating officer and chief financial
officer, said the Company reported solid financial and operating
results for the quarter. "The improved rate of revenue erosion was
largely the result of retail price adjustments we made during the
quarter," he said, "while a continued emphasis on cost reduction
contributed to our higher EBITDA and cash flow margins. Operating
expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization, accretion and goodwill
impairment) continued to decline due to numerous cost savings
programs," Schilling noted, "and are down 17.1 percent from the second
quarter of 2007 and well ahead of the 14.3 percent annual rate of
revenue erosion."
The Company also revised upward its previously announced financial
guidance for 2008 as follows: revenues are now expected to be between
$355 million to $360 million, up from the previous guidance of $345
million to $355 million; operating expenses (excluding depreciation,
amortization, accretion and goodwill impairment) are now expected to
be between $245 million to $250 million, a decrease from the previous
range of $250 million to $255 million; while guidance for capital
expenses for 2008 remains unchanged at $18 million to $20 million.
