2018 Fourth-Quarter Results:
Consolidated
revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) was $43.3 million compared to $43.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2017. On January 1, 2018, Spok adopted
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to
those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Unless
otherwise stated, results for reporting periods beginning after January
1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not
been adjusted, and continue to be reported in accordance with the
Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605. As such, adjusted to
exclude the adoption of ASC 606, consolidated revenue for the fourth
quarter of 2018 was $42.3 million compared to the $43.8 million in the
fourth quarter of 2017.

GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the net loss included a non-cash income tax charge of $24.2 million. The income tax charge resulted from the reduction of the deferred tax asset, or DTA, subsequent to the Company's fourth quarter analysis of the impact of the changes from The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Excluding this charge, fourth quarter 2017 net income would have totaled $2.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company generated $2.8 million of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), compared to EBITDA of $6.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Management Commentary:
“We are
encouraged with our performance in the fourth quarter of 2018 and
believe it provides a solid basis for continued improvement in 2019,”
said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “We were
particularly pleased with our growth in software bookings and the
continued improvement in our wireless trends. Noteworthy was our
performance in the second half of the year, as software revenue grew
nearly 10 percent, compared to the first half of 2018, and fourth
quarter sequential wireless revenue declines slowed to a record low 0.7
percent. These metrics give us confidence as we enter the new year and
launch what we believe is a game changer for future healthcare
communication technology: the next evolution of our Spok Care Connect®
platform.”
In 2018, Spok returned $23.6 million in capital to stockholders. During the year, the Company paid approximately $10.1 million in regular quarterly dividends and repurchased 929,116 shares of common stock, totaling approximately $13.5 million. "In 2018, we were proud to be able to execute against our capital allocation strategy, returning capital through dividends and share repurchases," continued Kelly. "This quarter represents our 50th consecutive quarter of paying a dividend. We have been able to achieve this milestone while continuing to invest in the evolution of our integrated communication platform, Spok Care Connect®, and remaining a debt-free company."
Kelly noted that in addition to the financial performance the Company was able to achieve in 2018, 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,” commented Kelly. “During the quarter, we added approximately two dozen new customers to the Spok family. For the full year, we added more than 70 new customers primarily in the healthcare and government sectors, including modernizing communications in the Veterans Affairs hospital network. Additionally, during the year we announced key strategic partnerships with companies such as Spectralink and Bernoulli Health; our management were keynote speakers at numerous C-suite conferences; Spok received recognition as the #1 provider of secure communications by Black Book Market Research; and we continue to work with all of the U.S. News & World Report Best Adult and Children's Hospitals. We intend to carry that momentum throughout 2019 to stimulate long-term growth.”
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. Our ability to align our expense base with the market demand we are seeing and drive high renewal rates in our recurring revenue categories has helped Spok to mostly offset the 30.8 percent increase in research and development expenses over the past year to support the investments we are making in our sales and product platforms. Spok’s balance sheet remains strong, with a cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balance of $87.3 million at December 31, 2018. Despite the continued investment in our technology platform and infrastructure, during the year, Spok generated more than $10 million of net cash provided by operating activities that partially offset cash returned to shareholders and capital expenditures.”
Business Outlook:
Commenting on the
Company’s previously provided financial guidance for 2018, Wallace
noted: “We are pleased that 2018 results were consistent with the
guidance we had provided. For the year, total revenue of $169.5 million
was at the midpoint of our guidance range of $161 million to $177
million, operating expenses of $161.9 million were also at the midpoint
of our guidance range of $158 million to $165 million, and capital
expenses of $5.9 million were slightly below the midpoint of our
guidance range of $4.0 million to $8.0 million.” 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 operating expenses (excluding 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) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted to exclude the adoption of ASC 606. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the Company for purposes of comparison to prior period results during its year of transition (2018) under the modified retrospective approach. (d) 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 and $359 in the first, second and third quarters, respectively. |
