Omnicell Chairman, President and CEO Randall A. Lipps commented, “For the third quarter in a row, I am very pleased with the success we’re having in the marketplace. Demand for our products is strong, and in head-to-head competition for large integrated delivery networks such as Catholic Healthcare West and Advocate Health Care, customers are choosing Omnicell. Our success in winning business with health-systems as well as both large and small hospitals is evidence of the breadth, flexibility and sophistication of our products and services. We’re very focused on providing a great customer experience and leveraging our singular focus on automation products to develop superior, innovative solutions for healthcare providers.”

Interim CFO James T. Judson added, “Omnicell made great strides in 2005, changing its business model to one that places a premium on the customer experience and creates a win-win situation. The company has become much more efficient as the growth in backlog has enabled us to spread our workload more evenly throughout the quarter. It’s enabling us to compete more aggressively in the marketplace and has positioned us well to resume revenue and earnings growth in 2006.”

Statement of Utility

Omnicell provides all information required in accordance with GAAP, but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Omnicell uses non-GAAP financial measures of its performance internally to evaluate its ongoing operations and to allocate resources within the organization.

Omnicell’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Omnicell may not be consistent with the presentation of similar companies in Omnicell’s industry. However, Omnicell presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate its operating results in a manner that focuses on what it believes to be its ongoing business operations.

Omnicell’s management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review both GAAP information and the non-GAAP measures earnings per share to have a better understanding of the overall performance of its business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods.

Omnicell has computed the non-GAAP earnings per share impact for the first quarter of 2005 of severance costs related to a reduction in force, charges related to the end-of-life of certain older products and the costs related to two suspended acquisitions, all occurring in the first quarter of 2005. Management believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with the reports of financial results for the second quarter of 2005 and it better enables investors to evaluate the ongoing operations and prospects of Omnicell by providing a better comparison to prior periods. Omnicell has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
