MINNEAPOLIS, January 24, 2000 -- Chronimed Inc. (Nasdaq: CHMD), today reported record revenue for the second quarter ended December 31, 1999 of $67.2 million, up 38 percent from $48.7 million in last year's second quarter. Excluding one-time expenses of $470,000 incurred in seeking strategic alternatives, pre-tax income from operations was $3.1 million, in line with last year. Net income per diluted share was 15 cents in the current quarter compared to 16 cents last year, excluding one-time expenses in 2000 and a gain on the sale of a business in 1999. Including the one-time events, Chronimed reported net income per diluted share of 13 cents compared to 18 cents last year. Commenting on results, Chronimed's chairman and chief executive officer Maurice R. Taylor, II, said, “I am extremely pleased with our results this quarter. As adjusted, operating income more than tripled from $1.0 million in first quarter ended September to $3.1 million in second quarter ended December. Operating income as a percent of revenue improved from 1.7 percent in first quarter to 4.6 percent in second quarter. Our Pharmacy business – the mail order Specialty Pharmacy and retail Disease Management segments – has shown tremendous strength as its increased volume leverages our infrastructure. The Pharmacy business is growing, increasingly profitable, and in fact contributed two-thirds of Chronimed's total operating income in second quarter. Our Diagnostic Products segment showed profit improvement as well in second quarter compared to first quarter. Overall, Chronimed is positioned nicely for the second half of fiscal 2000.” For the six-month period, revenue grew 38 percent to $126.1 million, up from $91.5 million last year. Adjusted for the one-time events noted above, income from operations was down from $5.6 million last year to $4.1 million this year, and, as adjusted, net income per diluted share decreased from 30 cents last year to 20 cents this year. Including the one-time events, Chronimed reported net income per diluted share of 16 cents in the first half of the year compared to 32 cents last year. Chronimed is continuing to seek strategic alternatives for its Diagnostic Products and Pharmacy businesses, and will publicly communicate any material events as appropriate.
