USA Mobility Reports 2005 Operating Results

Filing of Financial Restatements and 10-K Completed,
Date for First Quarter Earnings Release and Conference Call Scheduled

Alexandria, VA (May 24, 2006) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging services, today announced final operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. The company had announced preliminary and unaudited 2005 operating results on April 3, 2006, pending filing of its 2005 Form 10-K and financial restatements for the years ended 2002, 2003 and 2004 and interim periods of 2004 and 2005. USA Mobility completed those filings today.

Reported revenue for 2005, the first full year of operations following the merger between Arch Wireless, Inc. and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. on November 16, 2004, totaled $618.6 million, compared to $788.7 million in 2004 on a pro forma basis. EBITDA (Earning before interest, tax, and depreciation, amortization and accretion) for 2005 was $158.5 million, or 25.6 percent of revenue, while operating income was $27.1 million. Net income for 2005 was $12.9 million, or $0.47 per fully diluted share.

The company announced earlier in the year that it would file an amended Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 and amended Form 10-Q/A’s for the three interim quarterly periods of 2004 and 2005. The purpose of the amended filings was to amend and restate financial statements and other financial information for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 and first three quarters of 2004 and 2005 to reflect certain corrections and adjustments, including restatement of income taxes and deferred tax assets for those periods. The errors, which occurred in certain earlier reporting periods, were identified by the company’s internal accounting staff in the process of preparing its year-end 2005 operating results. The errors did not impact revenue, cash, or cash flow from operations.

The 2005 annual and fourth quarter results reported today vary from the preliminary results contained in USA Mobility’s April 3, 2006 news release as follows:

	•		In the fourth quarter of 2005, the company recognized a reduction of service, repair and maintenance (SRM) expense of $1.2 million. Of that total, $0.9 million represents a gain due to the difference between the company’s estimated deconstruction obligations under the company’s Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) and the actual expenses incurred during that period. The remaining $0.3 million corresponds to the reclassification of accretion expense from SRM expense into depreciation, amortization and accretion. In the past, the company had included accretion expense as a component of SRM expense.
	•		The company’s fourth quarter results also reflect a net reduction of depreciation, amortization and accretion of $12.2 million, as compared to the preliminary 2005 operating results announced on April 3. A total of $12.5 million of the reduction represents an adjustment to the depreciable life of the paging infrastructure assets, while accretion increased by $0.3 million, reflecting the reclassification of accretion from SRM expense as discussed above.
	•		For the year-ended 2005, the company recognized a reduction of SRM expense of $2.6 million. Of that total, $1.5 million represents a gain due to the difference between the company’s estimated deconstruction obligations under the ARO and the actual expenses incurred during that period. The remaining $1.0 million corresponds to the reclassification of accretion expense from SRM expense into depreciation, amortization and accretion.
	•		The company’s 2005 year-end results also reflect a reduction of depreciation, amortization and accretion of $22.1 million, as compared to preliminary 2005 operating results. A total of $23.1 million of the reduction represents an adjustment to the depreciable life of the paging infrastructure assets, with accretion increasing by $1.0 million, reflecting the reclassification of accretion from SRM expense as discussed above.

The cumulative effect of the restatements on the 40-month period affected (June 2002 – September 2005) is as follows:

	•		The income statement reflects an increase to depreciation, amortization and accretion expense of $14.8 million, and a decrease to all other operating expenses of $5.8 million resulting in a decrease in operating income of $9.0 million, and a decrease to net income of $2.5 million.
	•		The assets on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 reflect a decrease to property, plant and equipment of $10.4 million, and decrease to the deferred tax asset of $4.4 million, a decrease to accounts receivable of $0.7 million, and an increase to goodwill of $2.8 million, for an overall reduction to assets of $12.7 million.

•

Liabilities and equity on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 reflect an increase of $8.1 million in liabilities, primarily a result of the asset retirement obligation, and a reduction to equity of $20.8 million.

The company said its integration of Arch and Metrocall was substantially completed in 2005, leading to significant improvements in overall operating results. Among them was a steady improvement in the year-over-year rate of subscriber and revenue decline. Other major accomplishments during the year included: successfully consolidating to a single customer service and billing platform; decommissioning Arch’s two-way paging network; beginning the rationalization the one-way paging networks; reducing total operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion by 18.9% on a pro forma basis; repaying $140 million in bank debt incurred at the time of the merger; paying a special dividend representing a $41 million return of capital to investors; negotiating long-term contract with its largest site landlord representing substantial future cost savings; and strengthening the company’s operational structure and management team.

“Our first year of operation was a very successful one,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “We achieved our principal goals of integrating the nation’s two largest paging carriers and generating significant costs savings. In meeting those objectives, we also became debt free, returned capital to our shareholders, laid the foundation for continued operational efficiencies in the future and began to explore potential alternative sources of revenue. As we move through 2006,” Kelly added, “we expect to make additional improvements to our operations and expand our selling and marketing initiatives as we continue to serve the needs of our nationwide customer base while remaining focused on our cash flow strategy.”

Thomas L. Schilling, chief financial officer, said: “While the process of amending our financial statements was time-consuming, the adjustments and restatements were necessary under generally accepted accounting principles because they had a material impact on our income statement. However,” Schilling added, “I would also note that restated items had no impact on the fundamentals of our business – that is, the company’s previously reported revenue, cash positions, or cash flow from operating activities.”

The company announced that it will report first quarter 2006 operating results on Thursday, May 25, at approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and will hold a conference call for investors on its first quarter results at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, May 26, 2006.
