OraSure Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

BETHLEHEM, PA – August 8, 2006 – (BW HealthWire) – OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a market leader in oral fluid diagnostics, today announced revenues of $17.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, representing a slight increase over the $17.4 million in revenues recorded for the comparable period in 2005.

The Company’s net income was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share on a basic and fully-diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2006, which includes $953,000 of stock option expense and a $991,000 provision for income taxes. Excluding these two charges, net income for the second quarter of 2006 would have been $3.2 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully-diluted basis. These results compare to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share on a fully-diluted basis, during the second quarter of 2005, which excluded costs related to stock options and a provision for income taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had revenues of $32.8 million, a slight decrease when compared to revenues of $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company recorded net income of $2.1 million, or $0.04 per share on a fully-diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which includes $1.8 million of stock option expense and a $1.8 million provision for income taxes. Excluding these two charges, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $5.7 million, or $0.12 per share on a fully-diluted basis. These results compare to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully-diluted basis, during the six months ended June 30, 2005, which excluded costs related to stock options and a provision for income taxes.

“We are certainly very pleased with the Company’s financial results for the second quarter,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and Chief Executive Officer of OraSure Technologies. “Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations largely because of increased sales of our substance abuse testing and professional cryosurgical products and the continued strong performance of our infectious disease testing business.”

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2006 was 63% compared to 54% in the second quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2005, gross margin was negatively affected by a $1.5 million charge associated with the Company’s UPlink® assets.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2006 increased to $9.7 million from $8.5 million in the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to stock option expense and a $600,000 charge for acquired in-process technology. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $18.4 million, compared to $16.7 million for the comparable period in 2005.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $84.6 million and working capital was $96.8 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $77.6 million and $90.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.

Cash flow from operations was $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2006, up from the $4.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2005. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $8.2 million, compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period in 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net income - before charges and diluted earnings per share—before charges, each exclude the impact of stock option expensing and income tax provisions. These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income or diluted earnings per share, respectively, which are indicators of operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP. OraSure Technologies believes that net income - before charges and diluted earnings per share—before charges, although non-GAAP financial measures, are also useful and meaningful to investors because they provide investors with the Company’s underlying earnings performance as another criterion in making their investment decisions. OraSure’s management also uses these calculations in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial information.
