Company Continues to Reduce Operating Expenses;

Cash Flow Margin Reaches Record High;

Exclusive Two-Way Pager Launched
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging and
communications services, today announced operating results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2009. 

In addition, the Company`s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash
distribution of $0.25 per share, payable on June 18, 2009 to stockholders of
record on May 20, 2009. The Company expects the entire distribution to be paid
as a return of capital. 

Total revenue for the first quarter was $79.7 million, compared to $84.3 million
in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $94.8 million in the year-earlier quarter.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion
and goodwill impairment) in the first quarter totaled $28.6 million, compared to
$29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $29.9 million in the first
quarter of 2008. 

Net income for the first quarter was $10.0 million, or $0.43 per fully diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $177.8 million, or $6.48 per fully diluted
share, in the first quarter of 2008. The year-earlier loss resulted from a
goodwill impairment for which the Company incurred a $188.2 million non-cash
expense to write-off its entire goodwill balance. Absent the goodwill
write-down, net income in the first quarter of 2008 would have been $10.4
million, or $0.38 per fully diluted share. 

First quarter results included:

* EBITDA margin (or EBITDA as a percentage of revenue) increased to 35.9
percent, compared to 35.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 31.6 percent
in the year-earlier quarter, reaching its highest level in more than four years.

* The quarterly rate of revenue erosion was 5.4 percent, compared to 4.6 percent
in the fourth quarter and 5.4 percent in the first quarter of 2008. The annual
rate of revenue erosion for the first quarter was 15.9 percent, compared to the
same rate for the fourth quarter and 15.0 percent in the year-earlier quarter. 
* Total paging ARPU (average revenue per unit) increased to $8.86 in the first
quarter from $8.71 in the fourth quarter and $8.49 in the year-earlier quarter. 
* Net unit loss was 208,000 in the first quarter, compared to 187,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2008 and 152,000 in the first quarter of 2008. Units in
service totaled 2,607,000 at March 31, 2009, compared to 2,815,000 at December
31, 2008. 
* The quarterly rate of subscriber loss was 7.4 percent in the first quarter,
historically the quarter with the highest net churn, compared to 6.2 percent in
the fourth quarter and 4.4 percent in the first quarter of 2008. The annual rate
of subscriber erosion was 21.8 percent in the first quarter, compared to 19.2
percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 14.8 percent in the year-earlier
quarter. 
* Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization, accretion and
goodwill impairment) totaled $51.1 million in the first quarter, a reduction of
$13.8 million, or 21.2 percent, from $64.8 million in the first quarter of 2008.
Quarterly operating expenses declined 6.2 percent from the fourth quarter of
2008 and, as a percentage of revenue, are at their lowest level in more than
four years. 
* Capital expenses were $6.1 million, compared to $4.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008. 
* The Company`s cash balance at March 31, 2009 was $65.1 million.

"We reported excellent operating results for the first quarter," said Vincent D.
Kelly, president and chief executive officer. "Despite a very difficult economy
and high unemployment nationwide, our results exceeded a majority of our
performance objectives and were consistent with the financial guidance we
provided earlier this year. Although the pace of subscriber losses accelerated
during the quarter, as expected, we posted our highest ARPU in nearly three
years. In addition, we continued to generate substantial free cash flow while
successfully managing the business profitably with a low-cost operating
structure. In fact, due to lower expenses, our EBITDA margin reached a record
high 35.9 percent." 

Kelly said the Company continued to focus sales and marketing efforts around its
core market segments of Healthcare, Government and Large Enterprise during the
quarter. "These core segments represented approximately 82.1 percent of our
direct subscriber base and 75.7 percent of our direct paging revenue at the end
of the first quarter. Once again Healthcare was our best performing market
segment with the highest rate of gross placements and lowest rate of net unit
loss as healthcare providers continue to benefit from the reliability of paging
for their most critical messaging needs. Indeed, our networks today carry the
lion`s share of messaging to hospitals across the country, providing paging
service to 40 percent of all U.S. hospitals and 63 percent of major hospitals
(those with at least 200 beds)." 

Kelly also said the Company introduced an exclusive two-way paging device to the
market at the end of the first quarter. Called the ST902, the new device uses a
disposable battery. "It`s the first new disposable battery two-way pager to come
to market in many years, and was the culmination of more than two years of
product development. In working with our customers, we found that many of them
prefer a disposable battery rather than a rechargeable battery," Kelly
explained. "For example, hospitals often use their pagers around the clock,
passing them from one shift to the next, and often don`t want to take a pager
out of service to be recharged. In addition, many first responders require a
wireless communications device they can take into the field where plug-in
electrical outlets may not be available. As a result, we saw a need for a new
two-way pager that was powered by a common, disposable AA battery. With
permanent exclusivity on this new two-way pager, we will aggressively market the
device to customers this year." 

USA Mobility again returned capital to stockholders in the first quarter, Kelly
noted. "We continued to meet our goal of generating sufficient free cash flow to
return capital to stockholders in the form of cash distributions. We produced
$27.3 million in cash from operations in the quarter, allowing us to pay a
regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.25 per share and a special cash
distribution of $1.00 per share on March 31, 2009. Together, the distributions
represented a return of capital to our stockholders of approximately $28.5
million. Including the first quarter distributions, we have now returned $305.4
million to stockholders over the past four years. In addition, the Board of
Directors on April 29, 2009 declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of
$0.25 per share, payable on June 18, 2009 to stockholders of record on May 20,
2009. The Company expects the June distribution, a total of approximately $5.7
million, to be paid as a return of capital." 

Kelly added: "We continued to buy back shares of the Company`s common stock
during the first quarter under the stock repurchase program we commenced last
August. As of March 31, we had purchased a total of approximately 4.6 million
shares for $40.8 million, at an average price of $8.78 per share, and had
approximately $22.3 million available for additional purchases under the
currently approved plan, which extends through the end of 2009." 

Thomas L. Schilling, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, said
the Company`s expenses declined significantly during the first quarter as a
result of an internal reorganization and related cost control programs initiated
late last year. "Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization,
accretion and goodwill impairment) decreased 21.2 percent from the year-earlier
quarter," he said, "outpacing the year-over-year decline in revenue of 15.9
percent. In addition," Schilling noted, "operating expense as a percentage of
revenue was 64.1 percent in the first quarter, the lowest level in more than
four years." 

Schilling added, "The combination of lower expenses and higher ARPU contributed
to an increase in first quarter EBITDA margin compared to the prior quarter.
Although we are pleased and encouraged by financial results in the first
quarter, we are maintaining our previous financial guidance for 2009 of revenues
between $285 million to $295 million, operating expenses (excluding
depreciation, amortization and accretion) between $198 million to $203 million,
and capital expenses between $19 million to $21 million, however, economic
conditions may result in later changes to our guidance."
