OraSure Announces Third Quarter Financial Results
BETHLEHEM, PA – November 1, 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 September 30, 2006, compared to $18.1 million in revenues recorded for the comparable period in 2005.
The Company’s net income was $2.1 million, or $0.05 per share on a basic and fully-diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2006, which includes charges for stock option expense and a provision for income taxes, neither of which were included in the Company’s 2005 results. Excluding these two charges, net income for the third quarter of 2006 would have been $4.3 million, or $0.09 per share on a fully-diluted basis. These results compare to net income of $3.8 million, or $0.08 per share on a basic and fully-diluted basis, during the third quarter of 2005.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company had revenues of $50.4 million compared to revenues of $51.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company recorded net income of $4.2 million, or $0.09 per share on a basic and fully-diluted basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which includes charges for stock option expense and a provision for income taxes. Excluding these two charges, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been $10.0 million, or $0.21 per share on a fully-diluted basis. These results compare to net income of $6.8 million, or $0.15 per share on a basic and fully-diluted basis, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which excluded costs related to stock options and a provision for income taxes.

“We are pleased with the Company’s financial performance for the third quarter,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and Chief Executive Officer of OraSure Technologies. “Our financial results exceeded our expectations and were driven primarily by continued strong performance of our infectious disease testing business along with the increased sales of our substance abuse testing and insurance risk assessment products. Offsetting these increases was a reduction in our cryosurgical systems sales.”
Gross margin in both the third quarters of 2006 and 2005 was 64%.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $8.8 million from $8.4 million in the comparable period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to stock option expense, increased research and development expenses and costs related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, offset by lower legal and advertising costs. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $27.3 million, compared to $25.2 million for the comparable period in 2005.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $89.5 million and working capital was $98.1 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $77.6 million and $90.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.
Cash flow from operations was $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2006, up from the $3.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2005. Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $14.1 million, compared to $8.5 million for the comparable period in 2005.
Due to the better than expected financial performance in the third quarter of 2006, the Company is raising its 2006 full year, fully-diluted earnings per share guidance to between $0.10 - $0.11 per share as a result of an additional expected $0.01 - $0.02 per share of earnings in the fourth quarter of 2006. The fourth quarter earnings projection is based on attainment of projected revenues of between $17.0 million and $17.5 million for the quarter, resulting in 2006 full-year projected revenues of between approximately $67.5 million and $68.0 million.

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.
