Management Commentary:

“We are encouraged with our performance in the first quarter of 2016 and believe that it provides a solid base for the remainder of the year,” said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive officer. “We saw strong performance in a number of key operating measures, including operating expense management, cash flow and subscriber retention. We achieved these results, as we increased our investment in our business by enhancing and upgrading our product development team and tools, as well as our sales infrastructure and management. We believe these investments will yield significant future benefits in the form of our improved, integrated communication platform, Spok Care Connect®, as well as higher future bookings levels supported by an enhanced and upgraded sales team. Overall, we continued to operate profitably, enhance our product offerings, and further strengthen our balance sheet with strong cash levels and no debt. Our ability to generate healthy cash flows allowed us to execute against our capital allocation strategy, make key strategic investments and return nearly 80 percent of our operating cash flow to our stockholders during the quarter in the form of dividends and share repurchases.”

Commenting on software results, Kelly said: “As anticipated, software sales were in-line with prior year levels and down sequentially from the typically more robust fourth quarter levels.” Kelly attributed the ability to maintain year-over-year software revenue levels primarily to a more than 99 percent renewal rate on software maintenance contracts. Similar to Spok’s wireless revenue stream, software maintenance revenue is a largely recurring revenue stream that provides the Company with a more stable revenue and margin base.

Kelly said first quarter bookings of $15.1 million included $9.5 million of maintenance renewals bookings, a record high for the first quarter, while the software backlog of $36.8 million at March 31st was down from the prior quarter. “Though we are not satisfied with bookings levels in the first quarter, and continue to focus on generating activity through the remainder of the year, we are encouraged as bookings included sales to both new and current customers, with existing customers adding products and applications to expand their portfolio of communications solutions. Customer demand remained strongest for upgrades to call center solutions, healthcare applications to increase patient safety, and improved nursing workflows.” Kelly added: “We continue to see growing demand for our software solutions for critical smartphone communications, secure texting, emergency management, and clinical alerting. Though domestic markets performed well, we continued to see sluggishness in the international markets of both EMEA and APAC. However, we continue to focus on the growth potential in those geographies.”

Kelly also noted that in addition to the Company’s quarterly financial performance, progress was made in several other areas, including product development, sales strategy and key strategic partnership agreements. “Spok continues to build an industry-leading reputation, and is generating sales momentum at the conferences we attend,” commented Kelly. “During the quarter, we generated tremendous activity from tradeshows, including the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), the 2016 HIMSS Annual Conference Exhibition and the Arab Health 2016 Exhibition and Congress. Also, Spok’s Connect 16 regional user conferences kicked off in Dallas last month, to be followed by conferences in Boston and New York in May. We intend to carry the momentum generated at these conferences and tradeshows throughout 2016. We are already seeing results from our sales and marketing efforts. During the quarter we partnered with organizations across industries and geographies, such as Medical Solutions and Services (MSS) in Saudi Arabia, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida and VCU Health, to offer critical communications support. Combined with our strong team, solid financial platform and industry-leading products and services, Spok is positioned to build on this momentum and stimulate sustainable growth.”

The Company posted solid results for its wireless products and services in the first quarter. Gross pager placements of 28,000 were in-line with the year-earlier quarter, while gross disconnects of 48,000 improved from 55,000 in the first quarter of 2015 and 50,000 in the prior quarter. “As a result, annual net pager losses declined to an historical low of 6.2 percent from the prior year-end, on a twelve month trailing basis, and were 1.7 percent in the first quarter, down significantly from 2.1 percent in the prior-year quarter,” continued Kelly. “Overall, wireless sales efforts continued to focus primarily on our core market segments of Healthcare, Government and Large Enterprise, which represented approximately 91.3 percent of our subscriber base and 86.1 percent of our paging revenue at quarter end. Healthcare comprised 77.5 percent of our subscriber base, and continued to be our best performing market segment with the highest rate of gross placements and lowest rate of unit disconnects.”

Spok returned capital to stockholders, totaling $7.5 million, in the first quarter of 2016. During the period, the Company paid $2.6 million in dividends and repurchased 291,861 shares of common stock, totaling $4.9 million, under its stock buy-back program. Kelly added, “Throughout 2016, we will remain focused on returning value to our shareholders through our comprehensive capital allocation strategy, which includes dividends, share repurchases and key strategic investments in our products and business that will create sustainable growth.”

Shawn E. Endsley, chief financial officer, said: “Our ability to align our expense base with the market demand that we are seeing and drive high renewal rates in our recurring revenue categories, helped Spok maintain solid operating cash flow, EBITDA and operating margins for the quarter, as we continued to invest in our business for long-term growth. We also strengthened our balance sheet, recording a cash balance of $111.9 million at March 31, 2016, and continued to operate as a debt-free company at quarter-end.”

Business Outlook:

Commenting on the Company’s previously provided financial guidance for 2016, Endsley noted: “We are pleased that quarterly results were consistent with our expectations and we are maintaining the 2016 guidance range that we provided last quarter.” With regard to financial guidance for 2016, Endsley reiterated that the Company expects total revenue to range from $174 million to $192 million, operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) to range from $153 million to $159 million, and capital expenditures to range from $6 million to $8 million.
