BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hooper Holmes, Inc. today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Total revenues for the quarter increased 8.8% to $82.8 million from $76.2 million in the second quarter of 2003, reflecting strong performance of Medicals Direct Group, InfoLink and Heritage Labs as well as $6.4 million in revenues from the Company’s acquisitions of Allegiance Health, Medimax, Michigan Evaluation Group (MEG) and Mid-America Agency Services, Inc. (MAAS), all of which were acquired subsequent to June 2003. Net income was $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2003. Operating margins in the 2004 second quarter were negatively impacted by continued softness and related pricing pressure in the Company’s core examination business.
Revenues for the Company’s Health Information Business Unit (“HIBU”), grew 6.3% to $71.8 million compared to $67.6 million in last year’s second quarter.
The HIBU’s second quarter performance was attributable to: * Medicals Direct, which continued to exceed expectations, grew its revenues to $10.0 million from $5.1 million a year earlier, as a result of continuing favorable trends in the U.K. life insurance and claims management market; * Infolink, which generated 24% revenue growth on the success of the Kansas City call center; * Heritage Labs, which generated 8% revenue growth reflecting increased market share; and * Portamedic, which reported second quarter revenues of $48.2 million, down from $52.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, reflecting continued industry softness and pricing pressure.
Revenues for the Company’s Diversified Business Unit (“DBU”) increased 28.2% to $11.0 million from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 as a result of new revenue contributions from the acquisitions of Allegiance Health, Medimax, and MEG.
Jim McNamee, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hooper Holmes, stated, “We are pleased to report that the DBU’s revenues for the second quarter, excluding revenues from companies acquired since the second quarter of 2003, exceeded the previous quarter’s revenues. We are also optimistic that the inflection point in our core examination business could be sometime late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of this year.”
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, revenues increased 7.8% to $162.8 million from $151.0 million in last year’s comparable period. Net income was $6.4 million, or $0. 10 per diluted share compared to $9.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the first half of last year.
Mr. McNamee concluded, “For the full year of 2004, we expect to generate revenues in the range of $335 million to $340 million. We expect our full year diluted earnings per share to be between $0.22 to $0.24, reflecting current strategic initiatives that include activities aimed at realigning our operating structure with our revenues.”
