Management Commentary:

"Our performance in the second quarter of 2018 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. "We saw strong performance in a number of key operating measures and sequential improvements in subscriber retention, sales bookings, backlog levels, and operating expense management. These improvements allowed us to return $10.0 million of capital to our stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases and enhance our product offerings through our 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, sales strategy and key strategic partnership agreements. "During the quarter, we announced partnerships with industry-leading organizations, including Bernoulli® Health, to enhance our clinical alarm management offering, and our participation in Zebra Technologies' PartnerConnect channel partner program, to offer Zebra's enterprise-class mobile devices to hospitals and health systems throughout North America. Last month, we strengthened our position as an industry thought leader with the release of the results of our eighth consecutive survey of mobile strategies in healthcare. Also, during the quarter we started working with 13 new customers. Finally, we continue to make significant progress in enhancing our Care Connect platform offering, adding experienced product and development leadership, staff and consulting resources."

Michael W. Wallace, chief financial officer, said: "Continued expense management and strong 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 helped Spok to partially offset the additional expenses related to our investments in our sales and product platforms."

Business Outlook:

For the full-year 2018, adjusted to exclude the adoption of ASC 606, the Company continues to expect total revenue to range from $161 million to $177 million, operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion) to range from $158 million to $165 million, and capital expenditures to range from $4 million to $8 million.
