Metrocall 4Q reflects WebLink acquisition

ALEXANDRIA, Va.-Wireless data carrier Metrocall Holdings Inc. reported its fourth-quarter results following its acquisition of Weblink Wireless Inc., showing revenues of $87.1 million and net income of $2 million.

“Our fourth-quarter and fiscal-year results reflect our continued focus on business and enterprise based accounts as well as our commitment to providing superior customer service while running an efficient, low-cost operation,” said Vincent Kelly, Metrocall’s president and chief executive officer. “These results were also affected by the acquisition of the major assets of Weblink Wireless on Nov. 18. As the integration of the former Weblink operations continues, we expect the operating expenses of the combined company to continue to decrease throughout 2004 relative to the synergies that will be realized.”

Metrocall counted about 3.5 million subscribers, including 3.1 million traditional paging customers and 360,000 advanced messaging customers.
