Hooper Holmes Announces Preliminary Third Quarter 2013 Results

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., NOVEMBER 14, 2013 -- Hooper Holmes, Inc. (NYSE MKT:HH) today announced preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

On September 30, 2013, the Company closed on the sale of its Portamedic service line. As a result, financial results related to the Portamedic service line are reported as discontinued operations.

Due to the complexity of issues surrounding the accounting for the recent sale of the Portamedic service line, the Company has not yet finalized its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company believes the final financial statements will not change materially from the results included in this release and is releasing these results to provide investors with information prior to the investor call, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET on November 15, 2013. The Company plans to finalize its financial statements and file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 by November 19, 2013.

Consolidated revenues totaled $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, representing an 11% decline from $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. The Company recorded a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.02) per share, for the third quarter of 2013 compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $(0.03) per share, for the third quarter of 2012. The net loss for the third quarter of 2013 includes $0.4 million of restructuring charges, $3.5 million of gain on the sale of Portamedic, and a loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $2.0 million. The net loss for the third quarter of 2012 included a $1.0 million loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, consolidated revenues were $34.2 million compared to $35.8 million in the comparable period of 2012. The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $9.3 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to a net loss of $10.9 million, or $(0.16) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes $0.7 million of restructuring charges, $0.2 million of asset impairment, $3.6 million gain on the sale of Portamedic, and a loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $4.7 million. The net loss for the nine months of 2012 included $0.4 million of restructuring charges and a $5.5 million loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes.






Third quarter 2013 revenues by service line:

Health & Wellness revenue totaled $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, a 6% decline from the third quarter of 2012, reflecting lower volumes from one customer, expected to rebound in 2014, as it made changes in its business systems which reduced demand.
Heritage Labs revenue totaled $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of approximately 16% compared to the third quarter of 2012, primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue from the Company’s life insurance lab testing services.
Hooper Holmes Services revenue totaled $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of 13% in comparison to the prior year period, primarily due to reduced demand for the Company’s medical records collection services, partially offset by increased revenues from the Company’s underwriting services.

As of September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.7 million, with $2.6 million of borrowings outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. Hooper Holmes' accounts receivables were approximately $16 million at September 30, 2013.

Commenting on the 2013 third quarter, Henry E. Dubois, President and CEO of Hooper Holmes, stated: “As a result of the sale of Portamedic, our liquidity position is improved and we anticipate cash flow from operations to improve without the Portamedic service line. Since the end of the third quarter we have paid off our debt balance and are now building cash. Looking ahead, we expect to end 2013 with a strengthened balance sheet.”

"We are working hard to build a health & wellness culture as we consolidate our operations in Olathe, KS," continued Mr. Dubois. "This transition will take a couple quarters to complete, but once finished, Hooper Holmes will operate as a leaner company with a solid foundation to support our long-term objectives. Our national network of health professionals, proprietary technology platform and lab testing capabilities are valuable assets that help clients benchmark employee populations, monitor them for improvement and drive down healthcare costs. Demand is improving for our call center, risk assessment and outsourced underwriting services. We are dedicated to profitably growing our business and providing improved results for our shareholders.”
