Management Commentary:

“Our performance in the second quarter of 2019 was in line with our seasonal expectations. We believe our year-to-date results provide a solid base as we enter the typically more robust second half of the year” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “During the quarter, we saw strong performance in a number of key operating measures, including solid growth in year-over-year software bookings levels, both sequential and year-over-year improvements in wireless subscriber retention, increased software backlog levels, and continued operating expense management. These improvements allowed us to return $2.4 million of capital to our stockholders in the form of a quarterly dividend, while enhancing our product offerings through continued investments in our integrated communication platform, Spok Care Connect®.”

Kelly also noted that in addition to the Company’s quarterly financial performance, Spok made progress in several other areas, including product development, as well as its sales and marketing efforts. “During the quarter, Spok continued to build on our industry-leading reputation as we participated in the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) annual meeting, the Healthcare IT Institute and the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems Physician-Computer Connection Symposium (AMDIS PCC Symposium) in June. Earlier this month, we strengthened our position as an industry thought leader with the release of the findings from our Spok clinician burnout survey. Also, for the seventh consecutive year we are proud and honored to report that all of the adult hospitals named to U.S. News & World Report’s 2019-20 Best Hospitals Honor Roll use Spok clinical communication solutions to facilitate care collaboration and support exceptional patient care. Finally, during the quarter we started working with more than two dozen new customers. We are proud of our team, as we continue to make significant progress in enhancing our Care Connect platform offering and add experienced product and development leadership, staff and consulting resources.”

Michael W. Wallace, chief financial officer, said: “Expense management and strong financial discipline have allowed us to continue to invest in our business for long-term growth. In the second quarter, operating expenses were down on a year-over-year basis. Our balance sheet remains strong, with a cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $77.7 million at June 30, 2019.”

Business Outlook:

Commenting on the Company’s previously provided financial guidance for 2019, Wallace noted: “We are pleased that the second quarter results are in line with the full year 2019 guidance we had provided last quarter and we are reiterating those expectations." Regarding financial guidance for 2019, Wallace said the Company expects total revenue to range from $156 million to $174 million. Included in that total, the Company expects software revenue to comprise $75 million to $85 million. Also, Spok expects adjusted operating expenses (excludes depreciation, amortization and accretion) to range from $155 million to $165 million, and capital expenses to range from $3 million to $7 million.

(a) Slight variations in totals are due to rounding.

(b) EBITDA or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion is a non-GAAP measure and is presented for analytical purposes only. Management and the Board of Directors rely on EBITDA for purposes of determining the Company’s capital allocation policies. EBITDA is also the starting point for the calculation of operating cash flow for purposes of determining whether management has achieved certain performance objectives in the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive plans.

(c) An adjustment to cost of revenue identified in the fourth quarter of 2018 of $771 has been reflected in this table as a reduction of Net income (loss) of $166, $196 $359, and $771 in the first, second third, and fourth quarters respectively.
