OraSure Technologies Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

- Quarterly Revenues Increase 21% Over 2006 -

BETHLEHEM, PA – October 30, 2007 – (BW HealthWire) – OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a market leader in oral fluid diagnostics, today announced quarterly revenues of $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a 21% increase over the $17.6 million in revenues recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Increased sales of the Company’s OraQuick ADVANCE® rapid HIV-1/2 antibody test and over-the-counter (“OTC”) cryosurgery products, together with an increase in funded research and development related to the Company’s rapid Hepatitis C (“HCV”) test, contributed to the increase in total revenues during the third quarter.

The Company’s net income was $4,000 representing break-even earnings per share on a fully-diluted basis for the third quarter of 2007, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share on a fully-diluted basis for the third quarter of 2006. This decrease is the result of higher operating expenses during the current quarter, primarily research and development costs associated with the product development and clinical work for an OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test for home use and an OraQuick® HCV test for professional use, along with higher staffing-related expenses and higher legal expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded revenues of $62.9 million, an increase of 25% over the $50.4 million in revenues recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company recorded net income of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per share on a fully-diluted basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to net income of $4.2 million, or $0.09 per share on a fully-diluted basis, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included a $1.4 million pre-tax gain on sale of investment in a privately-held nonaffiliated company.

Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was 60%, compared to 64% for the same period in 2006. Gross margin for the first nine months of 2007 was 62% compared to 63% in 2006. The decrease in gross margin for the three month period was due to an increase in scrap expense, higher product support costs and a less favorable product mix.


Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2007 increased to $13.7 million from $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $38.5 million, compared to $27.2 million for the comparable period in 2006.

“We are pleased with the Company’s top line performance in the third quarter and that overall financial results are in line with expectations,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and Chief Executive Officer of OraSure Technologies. “We are particularly happy with the strong performance of our infectious disease testing and international OTC cryosurgical businesses. We continue to make good progress toward the achievement of our long-term strategic initiatives and look forward to closing out a successful 2007.”

Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $7.8 million, compared to $14.1 million for the comparable period in 2006. The decrease of $6.3 million was primarily the result of lower net income and increases in accounts receivable and inventories, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses during the current nine-month period.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $92.3 million and working capital was $105.5 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $91.0 million and $96.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006.

2007 Financial Guidance

The Company expects revenues of $19.5 to $20.0 million in the fourth quarter and continues to expect approximately $83.0 million for the full-year 2007. Fully diluted earnings per share are expected to be breakeven in the fourth quarter and to be approximately $0.05 per share for the full year.
