Spok Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPOK), a global leader in healthcare communications, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.3125 per share, payable on December 8, 2023, to stockholders of record on November 16, 2023.
Recent Highlights:
- Generated net income of $4.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the prior year period
- Generated $8.4 million of adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter, compared to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2022
- Software operations bookings totaled $6.3 million for the third quarter, compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2022
- Through the first nine months of 2023, software operations bookings are up more than 38% from the same period in 2022
- Third quarter 2023 software operations bookings included 11 six-figure and one seven-figure new customer contracts
- Third quarter 2023 software revenue totaled $16.5 million, up 12% from the prior year period
- Third quarter 2023 wireless average revenue per unit (ARPU) was $7.59, up on a year-over-year basis, with units in service down less than 3% from the prior quarter and 4.7% on a trailing-twelve-month basis
- Third quarter 2023 wireless revenue of $19.0 million, compared to revenue of $19.1 million in the same period in 2022
- Capital returned to stockholders in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $6.2 million in the form of the Company’s regular quarterly dividend
- Cash and equivalents balance of $27.3 million on September 30, 2023, and no debt
“I am very proud of the strong performance our team was able to deliver in the third quarter, as we continue to execute ahead of plan in growing revenue and generating cash flow, while returning capital to stockholders,” said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. “Last quarter, our team was again able to grow total revenue on a year-over-year basis, as we maintained wireless revenue levels while increasing year-over-year software revenue by 12%. We made tremendous progress in several key performance areas, including net income and adjusted EBITDA growth and we exited the quarter with record software backlog levels. Despite record software operations bookings in the second quarter, which included some new customer contracts we had anticipated to close in the third quarter, the team was still able to generate software operations bookings of $6.3 million in the third quarter, which contributed to 38% year-over-year growth through the first nine months of the year.
“In short, I believe Spok has struck an excellent balance between making the necessary investments to fuel future growth, while continuing to demonstrate our prowess in generating cash and returning capital to our stockholders,” continued Kelly. ” We look forward to a successful conclusion to the year and believe our extensive experience operating our established communication solutions will create significant value for stockholders.
“Based on our performance in the third quarter we are, once again, increasing our full year 2023 guidance estimates for revenue and adjusted EBITDA generation. We believe we are on track to grow consolidated revenue for 2023, on a year-over-year basis, for the first time in the Company’s history and even the low point of our revenue guidance reflects that. We are also increasing the midpoint of our adjusted EBITDA guidance by $1.75 million, demonstrating our ability to generate cash flow.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted operating expenses excludes depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, impairment of intangible assets and severance and restructuring costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest income/expense, income tax benefit/expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets and severance and restructuring. With respect to our expectations under “Financial Guidance” above, reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to certain items included in net income (loss) that are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, in particular, income tax benefit / expense, stock-based compensation expenses, impairment of intangible assets, severance and restructuring and other non-recurring expenses. These items can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and /or cannot be reasonably predicted.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Spok’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational, and budgetary decision-making purposes, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and to generate future operating plans. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures permit us to more thoroughly analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions and allow us to assess our core operating results. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other software companies who present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We adjust for certain items because we do not regard these costs as reflective of normal costs related to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course. In general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: non-cash expenses, factors outside of our control, items that are non-operational in nature, and unusual items not expected to occur in the normal course of business. We believe it is important to exclude these costs, given that they do not represent future operational costs under this strategic business plan. This allows us to assess the underlying performance of our core business under this new strategic business plan.
We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principle of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant amounts that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
Statements contained herein or in prior press releases which are not historical fact, such as statements regarding our future operating and financial performance, are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from the future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expectations include, but are not limited to, our ability to manage wireless network rationalization to lower our costs without causing disruption of service to our customers; our ability to retain key management personnel and to attract and retain talent within the organization; the productivity of our sales organization and our ability to deliver effective customer support; our ability to identify potential acquisitions, consummate and successfully integrate such acquisitions, and achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions; risks related to global health epidemics; economic conditions such as recessionary economic cycles, higher interest rates, inflation and higher levels of unemployment; competition for our services and products from new technologies or those offered and/or developed from firms that are substantially larger and have much greater financial and human capital resources; continuing decline in the number of paging units we have in service with customers, commensurate with a continuing decline in our wireless revenue; our ability to address changing market conditions with new or revised software solutions; undetected defects, bugs, or security vulnerabilities in our products; our dependence on the U.S. healthcare industry; the sales cycle of our software solutions and services can run from six to eighteen months, making it difficult to plan for and meet our sales objectives and bookings on a steady basis quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year; our reliance on third-party vendors to supply us with wireless paging equipment; our ability to maintain successful relationships with our channel partners; our ability to protect our rights in intellectual property that we own and develop and the potential for litigation claiming intellectual property infringement by us; our use of open source software, third-party software and other intellectual property; the reliability of our networks and servers and our ability to prevent cyber-attacks and other security issues and disruptions; unauthorized breaches or failures in cybersecurity measures adopted by us and/or included in our products and services; our ability to realize the benefits associated with our deferred income tax assets; future impairments of our long-lived assets, amortizable intangible assets or goodwill; risks related to data privacy and protection-related laws and regulation; and our ability to manage changes related to regulation, including laws and regulations affecting hospitals and the healthcare industry generally, as well as other risks described from time to time in our periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although Spok believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Spok disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
