USA Mobility Reports Fourth Quarter and 2004 Operating Results

Arch, Metrocall Merger Integration and Debt Reduction on Target

Alexandria, VA (March 16, 2005) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging services, today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004. The fourth quarter of 2004 represents the first quarter of combined operations for USA Mobility, formed on November 16, 2004 by the merger of Arch Wireless, Inc. and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. These results include 46 days of combined operations with Metrocall and a full year and full quarter of Arch’s operations. USA Mobility’s historical financials are those of Arch Wireless which was deemed the accounting acquirer in the merger.

Reported revenue for the fourth quarter of 2004 increased 4.7% to $141.3 million, compared to $135.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, with the increase due entirely to the inclusion of Metrocall revenue for 46 days. Reported net loss for the fourth quarter was $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. For 2004, reported revenue totaled $490.2 million, compared to $597.5 million in 2003. Reported net income in 2004 totaled $13.5 million, or $0.65 per share, compared to net income of $16.1 million, or $0.81 per share, in the prior year.

As shown below on a pro-forma basis, total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2004 decreased to $179.9 million, compared to $191.5 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $232.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.

(2)	Reflects historical Metrocall revenues for the respective period through November 15, 2004.
(3)	Reflects historical revenues of WebLink Wireless through Metrocall’s acquisition on November 18, 2003.

USA Mobility’s messaging units in service decreased by 314,000 during the fourth quarter and 979,000 for the year, excluding the impact of 2,744,000 units acquired in the merger with Metrocall. Total units in service at December 31, 2004 were 6,202,000, including 5,003,000 direct units in service and 1,199,000 indirect units in service. Of the 6,202,000 total units in service at year end 2004, 5,673,000 were one-way messaging units and 529,000 were two-way messaging units. Pro forma for the merger, the company had 7,902,000 units in service at December 31, 2003. Consolidated average revenue per unit decreased to $9.17 in 2004 from $9.85 in 2003; however, a unit adjustment made by Arch in the fourth quarter of 2003 resulted in $0.45 of the year-to-year decline.

“While the merger closing occurred later than we originally planned, we made significant progress on our integration initiatives in our first 46 days of operations,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “However, the wireless messaging industry remains very challenging, and those challenges continue to validate the importance of the merger of Arch and Metrocall. As we move forward with the integration process, we look to gain further benefit from cost reductions and operational synergies that will make us more efficient and enable us to better serve our customers for a longer period of time than either Arch or Metrocall would have been capable of on a stand-alone basis. We have continued to strengthen our financial position during the past four months through the repayment of debt incurred in the merger. USA Mobility repaid $45 million on our $140 million credit facility through December 31, 2004, and we have paid an additional $28.5 million through March 1, 2005, leaving a balance of $66.5 million. The company had $47 million cash on hand at December 31, 2004.”

Merger integration activities commenced in the fourth quarter and included consolidation of the sales and marketing function. In addition, numerous back-office and administrative functions have been, or are now being, consolidated into USA Mobility’s headquarters offices and operations center, both located in

Alexandria, VA, and its technical center based in Plano, TX. Other integration initiatives launched in the fourth quarter included planning for conversion to a single customer service and billing platform and the reconfiguration of both one-way and two-way networks.
