BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 26, 2001 -- Hooper Holmes, Inc. (Amex:HH) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001.
For the second quarter, the Company reported revenue of $60.7 million, with net income of $3.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in line with guidance provided on July 18, 2001. In last year's second quarter, revenue was $67.6 million and net income was $4.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Jim McNamee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "As we previously announced, the combination of a slower than expected recovery in the life insurance industry, an increasingly difficult economic environment, and competitive factors resulted in lower revenues and earnings for the second quarter. We have implemented initiatives to strengthen our long-term position, including enhanced and repackaged product offerings and continued review of our cost structure. We remain committed to investing in technology as electronic orders increase and to accommodate our faster-growing ADC business."
Mr. McNamee added, "The fundamentals of our business remain solid. With approximately $68 million in cash and marketable securities and minimal debt on the balance sheet, we have the financial flexibility to continue to pursue strategic growth opportunities, such as acquisitions and the development of new products."
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, revenues were $124.4 million versus the $153.4 million reported in the comparable period last year. Net income was $8.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $12.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the first half of 2000.
Mr. McNamee concluded: "Recognizing the challenges we face this year as the life insurance industry slowly recovers, we anticipate the second half of this year to be similar to the first half. For the traditionally slow third quarter, we expect revenues to be approximately $57.0 million with earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.04 compared to revenues and earnings per share of $61.3 million and $0.06, respectively in the third quarter last year."
