BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 9, 2012 -- Hooper Holmes (NYSE Amex:HH) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Consolidated revenues totaled $40.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, representing a 6% revenue decline from $43.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company recorded a net loss for the fourth quarter of $0.6 million, or ($0.01) per share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated revenues were $157.5 million compared to $166.4 million in the comparable period of 2010. The Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $3.5 million, or ($0.05) per share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in 2010. The results for the year ended December 31, 2011 include a $0.5 million sales tax refund received from a supplier.

Fourth quarter 2011 revenues by service line:

Portamedic revenue totaled $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a decline of approximately 9% compared to $29.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to a 4% decline in paramedical exams completed during the quarter, along with a 6% decrease in revenue per exam.
Heritage Labs revenue totaled $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of approximately 11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily attributable to reduced demand for our lab testing services.

Hooper Holmes Services revenue totaled $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, down 8% in comparison to the prior year period, primarily attributable to reduced revenue from our medical records collection services.

Health & Wellness revenue totaled $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a 16% increase from the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to an increase in health screenings completed during the quarter.




Net cash provided by operations approximated $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and capital expenditures totaled $1.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.9 million, with no outstanding borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

“Our overall financial performance in 2011 was in line with the targets that we have discussed throughout the year. We accomplished our key operating objectives in 2011 and are optimistic that we have positioned the Company for improved financial results in 2012 and beyond,” said Ransom J. Parker, President and CEO of Hooper Holmes. “During 2011 we invested $4.8 million in capital expenditures. These investments in our technology infrastructure will have a positive impact and provide a solid foundation to grow profitably.”
