Management Commentary:
“We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter of 2016. We have attained the majority of our 2016 operating goals while making tremendous progress executing on our long-term strategy to move from offering our customers ‘point solutions’, or single-product solutions, for call center software, alarm management and secure messaging to offering them a single integrated platform called Spok Care Connect®,” said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive officer. “Third quarter performance benefited from the investments we made to enhance and upgrade our product development team and tools, as well as our sales infrastructure and management. Throughout the remainder of 2016, and over the next several years, Spok will continue to make the necessary investments in the people, technology and marketing programs that will ensure the future success of our strategy. We will share more of these details during our third quarter review call tomorrow and over the course of the coming year.
“During the quarter, we saw strong performance in a number of key operating measures and year-over-year improvements in software revenue levels, sales bookings, and operating cash flow generation. Noteworthy in the third quarter, was a net income performance that was driven by EBITDA margins in excess of 20 percent. Overall, we continued to operate profitably, enhance our product offerings, and further strengthen our balance sheet. In the third quarter, strong cash flow generation allowed us to execute against our capital allocation strategy and add more than $5 million to our cash balances for the second quarter in a row.”
Commenting on software results, Kelly said: “We were very pleased to see the year-over-year and sequential improvements in software revenue levels in the third quarter. We believe that results such as these are validating our transition strategy as we pivot to a company that offers industry-leading software solutions.” Kelly attributed the ability to improve from prior quarter and 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 third quarter bookings of $18.7 million increased from $16.7 million in the prior year quarter, and included $10.2 million of maintenance renewals bookings, a record high for the third quarter. Additionally, the software backlog of $38.8 million at September 30th was in-line with the prior quarter level. “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, and emergency management, as well as clinical alerting, and we are proud to be working with more than 1,900 hospitals.”
“During the quarter, we also initiated several new client relationships with organizations such as Union Hospital in Maryland and Medical Center Hospital of Odessa, Texas. In September, we were also very proud to announce our ongoing partnership with Progility Technologies, an Australia-based enterprise integrator of unified communications solutions. Together, Spok and Progility help solve challenges across different areas and departments of the hospital as they migrate from multiple and disjointed systems to one unified technology platform, Spok Care Connect®. Finally, we took steps to further enhance our strong management team. In early July, we announced the appointment of Dr. Nat’e Guyton as Spok’s Chief Nursing Officer, and earlier this month we announced the appointment of Dr. Andrew Mellin as our Chief Medical Officer. Together, these industry veterans form an essential clinical leadership team for Spok, focused on using communication technologies to enable more effective workflow approaches that complement a health system’s investment in electronic records.”
The Company posted solid results for its wireless products and services in the third quarter. Gross pager placements of 34,000 were in-line with the year-earlier quarter and prior quarter levels, while gross disconnects of 54,000 was slightly improved from 55,000 in the third quarter of 2015. “As a result, annual net pager losses continue to perform better than expected, and averaged 5.7 percent in the third quarter, in-line with the level of annual net pager losses we saw in the prior 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 91.8 percent of our subscriber base and 89.6 percent of our paging revenue at quarter end. Healthcare comprised 78.6 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 $2.8 million, in the third quarter of 2016. During the period, the Company paid $2.6 million in dividends and repurchased 13,884 shares of common stock, totaling $0.2 million, under its stock buy-back program. Kelly added, “In 2016 we remain committed to the promise we made, at the beginning of the year, to return $21 million to our shareholders through our multi-faceted capital allocation strategy, which includes dividends and share repurchases.”
Shawn E. Endsley, chief financial officer, said: “Continued expense management and financial discipline have allowed us to invest in our business for long-term growth. Our ability to align our expense base with the market demand we are seeing and drive high renewal rates in our recurring revenue categories, helped Spok maintain solid operating cash flow and operating margins in the quarter. We also strengthened our balance sheet, recording a cash balance of $122.5 million at September 30, 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: “As a result of the solid performance we saw in the third quarter, we are maintaining the 2016 guidance range that we provided last quarter and we look forward to presenting our expectations for 2017 when we release our 2016 fourth quarter results.” 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.
