Overview
Our Company was founded in 1899. We are a publicly-traded New York corporation
whose shares of common stock are listed on the NYSE MKT Stock Exchange. Our
corporate headquarters are located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Over the last
40 years, our business focus has been on providing health risk assessment
services. We are currently engaged in the following service lines:
• Portamedic - performs paramedical and medical examinations of individuals,
primarily on behalf of insurance companies in connection with the offering
or rating of insurance coverage (mainly life insurance), along with
medical examinations of health plan participants in order to provide
medical information on plan members to the plan sponsors;
• Heritage Labs - performs tests of blood, urine and oral fluid specimens,
primarily generated in connection with the paramedical exams and wellness
screenings performed by our Portamedic and Health & Wellness service
lines, respectively, and assembles and sells specimen collection kits;
• Health & Wellness - performs risk assessment and risk management services,
including biometric screenings, health risk assessments and onsite
wellness coaching for health and care management companies, including
wellness companies, disease management organizations, clinical research
organizations, health plans and others; and
• Hooper Holmes Services - provides telephone interviews of insurance
candidates, retrieval of medical records and inspections, risk management
solutions and underwriting services for simplified issue products and
products requiring full underwriting.
Our Portamedic paramedical examination services accounted for 63.7% and 64.9% of
revenues for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, and 67.2% and 68.7% of revenues for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As a provider of health risk
assessment services to the insurance industry, our business is subject to
seasonality, with third quarter sales typically dropping below the other
quarters due to the decline in activity typically experienced by the insurance
industry during the summer months.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Restructure of Portamedic Operations
In January 2011, we began a business transformation of our Portamedic service
line. The first phase of the transformation consisted of our capital investment
of approximately $5.0 million in new systems and technology that served as the
foundation for the second phase of Portamedic's transformation, a new model for
delivering paramedical exams. These new systems, now deployed, include (i) a new
workflow system for our Portamedic operations, known as Partnerlink; (ii)
ePortamedic.com, a new ordering and status website for insurance agents that
diagnoses service requirements based on insurance company rules; (iii) a new
Life Application Processing Platform that makes it easier for financial advisors
and brokers to sell life insurance; (iv) the latest version of our iParamed
e-Exam, which allows electronic exams to be completed even in areas with poor
wireless connections; and (v) a new direct-to-examiner inventory and tracking
system for laboratory testing kits.
In June 2012, we began the second phase of our Portamedic service line
transformation, which includes the deployment of our new model for delivering
paramedical exam services. The service model is a new optimized approach for
ordering, scheduling and delivering paramedical exams in the applicant's home or
office any time, anywhere in the U.S. Over 100 local administrative offices have
been consolidated into 60 integrated customer service centers located across 14
Company-defined regions. These service centers are designed to take advantage of
our existing call center capabilities and IT investments to enable us to provide
better levels of service, which we expect will lead to improved sales of
Portamedic exams. In addition, the new model for delivering exam services has
enabled us to reduce our facilities footprint and reduce labor costs previously
associated with performing certain administrative and management tasks in each
of our over 100 offices. We expect that, on an annual basis, the changes we have
implemented have reduced the Company's cost structure by approximately $8.0
million beginning in the third quarter of 2012, primarily attributable to a
reduction in the number of local branch offices and the related lease expense,
headcount reductions resulting from centralizing administrative functions such
as imaging and billing, and reduced operating expenses, including lower shipping
expenses resulting from our new direct-to-examiner inventory system.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company's
consolidated revenues totaled $33.7 million and $107.9 million, respectively,
representing declines of 11.8% and 7.5%, respectively, from the prior year
periods which were primarily attributable to the Portamedic service line.
Management is monitoring the impact of the new Portamedic delivery model and
believes it is too soon to determine the model's long-term impact on revenues.
Nonetheless, in response to the declining revenues, subsequent to September 30,
2012, the Company has taken additional actions to reduce its costs and cash
outflows, including headcount reductions and a reduction in capital expenditures
and operating expenses, and is evaluating additional cash flow measures,
including alternative sources of financing. The actions taken are expected to
reduce or delay expenses and uses of cash during the remainder of 2012 and
thereafter.
If the new Portamedic delivery model is not successful and revenues continue to
decline, operating losses will continue, assets may become impaired and the
Company will be required to take additional actions to further reduce or delay
expenses and uses of cash. This would also reduce the Company's cash reserves
and potentially require the Company to seek alternative sources of financing,
including but not limited to new credit facilities and the sale of assets and
service lines. There is no guarantee that the Portamedic delivery model will
reverse the decline in revenues or that the Company's cost reduction actions
will generate the savings necessary to offset revenues declines, operating
losses and uses of cash.
In connection with our Portamedic business transformation and deployment of the
new service delivery model, we recorded restructuring charges totaling $0.02
million and $2.2 million (or $0.00 and $0.03 per share on both a basic and
diluted basis) for the three and nine month periods periods ended September 30,
2012, respectively. The restructuring charges consist of employee severance and
branch office closure costs. The restructuring charges for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2012 include $0.0 million and $0.2 million (or
$0.00 and $0.00 per share on both a basic and diluted basis), respectively,
related to the impairment of fixed assets for the closed branch offices. For the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, employee severance
totaled $0.01 million and $1.2 million (or $0.00 and $0.02 per share on both a
basic and diluted basis), respectively, and branch office closure costs totaled
$0.01 million and $0.8 million (or $0.00 and $0.01 per share on both a basic and
diluted basis), respectively.
At September 30, 2012, $0.4 million of restructuring charges are recorded in
accrued expenses in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Cash payments
related to the above described restructuring charges are expected to be
completed within the next twelve months, except for certain long-term branch
office closure costs of $0.2 million, which are recorded in other long-term
liabilities as of September 30, 2012.
13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These changes comprise a large-scale operational transformation designed to give
Hooper Holmes the competitive advantages of faster and more accurate service
delivery and lower operating costs. We believe that this restructuring and
capital investment will help us better meet the needs of customers in the
paramed industry for consistent service, accurate scheduling, and timely
completion of exams.
Highlights for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2012
The Company
Financial Results for the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenues
totaled $33.7 million, a 11.8% decline from the corresponding prior year period.
Our gross profit totaled $7.1 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 2012 versus $9.5 million in the comparable period of the prior
year. Our gross profit percentage was 21.1% for the three month period ended
September 30, 2012, representing a decline from the gross profit percentage of
24.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, primarily
attributable to gross profit declines in our Portamedic service line. Included
in the results (cost of operations) for the three month period ended September
30, 2011, is a credit of $0.6 million relating to a refund received from a
supplier pertaining to improperly charged sales tax on purchased materials. Had
this credit not been recorded in the three month period ended September 30,
2011, our gross profit percentage would have been 23.2%.
SG&A expenses were $9.2 million in the three month period ended September 30,
2012, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 16.3%, in comparison to the three month
period ended September 30, 2011. Included in SG&A for the three month period
ended September 30, 2011, is a charge of $0.2 million relating to the write-off
of certain software that was under development. The Company determined that the
development to date would not support the intended functionality of the
Company's ordering processing applications. During the three month period ended
September 30, 2012, restructuring charges totaled $0.02 million, primarily
consisting of employee severance and branch office closure costs related to the
restructuring of our Portamedic service line as discussed above. Results for the
three month period ended September 30, 2011 included restructuring charges
totaling $0.02 million, consisting primarily of severance costs.
Our operating loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended
September 30, 2012 was $2.1 million compared to a $1.5 million loss for the
comparable prior year period.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of
$2.2 million, or $0.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, compared to
net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share on both a basic and diluted basis,
for the comparable prior year period. Included in our results for the three
month period ended September 30, 2011 is a $0.2 million gain in Other (expense)
income, representing the reversal of a reserve previously established for
interest and penalties associated with certain state unclaimed property matters.
Financial Results for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, consolidated revenues
totaled $107.9 million, a 7.5% decline from the corresponding prior year period.
Our gross profit totaled $23.2 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012 versus $29.5 million in the comparable period of the prior
year. Our gross profit percentage was 21.5% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012, representing a decline from the gross profit percentage of
25.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Included in the
results (cost of operations) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011,
is a credit of $0.5 million relating to a refund received from a supplier
pertaining to improperly charged sales tax on purchased materials. Had this
credit not been recorded in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our
gross profit percentage would have been 24.8%.
SG&A expenses were $31.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30,
2012, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 2.3%, in comparison to the nine month
period ended September 30, 2011. Included in SG&A for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2011, is a charge of $0.2 million relating to the write-off
of certain software that was under development. The Company determined that the
development to date would not support the intended functionality of the
Company's ordering processing applications. During the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012, restructuring charges totaled $2.2 million, primarily
consisting of severance and branch closure costs related to the restructuring of
our Portamedic service line as discussed above. Results for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2011 included restructuring charges totaling $0.1
million, primarily consisting of severance and branch office closure costs.
14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our operating loss from continuing operations for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012 was $10.7 million compared to a $3.0 million loss for the
comparable prior year period.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of
$10.9 million, or $0.16 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, compared to
a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.04 per share on both a basic and diluted
basis, for the comparable prior year period. Included in our results for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2011 is a $0.2 million gain in Other
(expense) income, representing the reversal of a reserve previously established
for interest and penalties associated with certain state unclaimed property
matters.
For the remainder of 2012, we expect to continue improving our processes and
organization structure and focusing on customer channels including brokers,
direct marketers, insurance agents and health care companies. We made
significant capital investments and operating improvements that have transformed
the way we deliver services, improving our competitive position and lowering our
cost structure, which are expected to improve our financial results in future
periods.
Portamedic
In the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Portamedic revenues decreased
approximately 13.3% in comparison to the prior year period. The primary driver
of our revenue decline is the decrease in completed examinations in the third
quarter 2012 of 12.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2011. The average
revenue per paramedical examination increased 0.5% in the quarter ended
September 30, 2012, compared to the prior year period. The number of completed
examinations in the second and third quarters of 2012 were negatively impacted
by implementation issues (resolved during the third quarter of 2012) regarding
our new IT system for processing Portamedic customer orders (implementation
completed in the second quarter of 2012), along with the June 2012 deployment of
our new Portamedic service delivery model and the related
transitional/operational issues associated with the implementation of this new
model.
During the past several fiscal quarters, we have taken the following steps to
increase our market share and improve top-line revenue:
• In June 2012, we deployed our new Portamedic service delivery model. The
introduction of this new program is expected to enhance our ability to
provide faster and more accurate service delivery at lower operating
costs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we continued to make capital investments which will enable us to improve our current Portamedic
service delivery model and provide greater operational performance and
service quality, while reducing operating costs in our current branch
office structure.
• In June 2012, we created the position of Vice-President of Portamedic
Provider Relations. This position will be dedicated to building our
network of health professionals for not only our Portamedic service line,
but also our Health and Wellness service line.
• In June 2012, we reorganized our Portamedic service line into 14 regions,
with a leader and customer service team assigned to each. We replaced over
100 local administrative offices with 60 integrated customer service
centers strategically located across the 14 regions. Administrative
functions such as imaging and billing have been centralized. In addition,
every job in our Portamedic service line from senior management to
customer service representative has a new position description tied to
quality measures that we believe directly align with customer
expectations.
• In the second quarter of 2012, we established a team of 14 Health
Professional Managers whose functions will be to recruit, educate and
mentor our national health professional network.
• In March 2012, we entered into an agreement with a national insurance
brokerage firm to provide efficient data acquisition and processing
solutions. Using the full breadth of our service capabilities, we expect
to improve this brokerage's insurance e-application process.
• We promoted and hired new field sales managers during the third quarter of
2012. We introduced new field sales and regional operations incentive
compensation plans and performance measurement systems, while implementing
a new Customer Relationship Management system for our sales teams.
• We completed development of a new Portamedic web portal to make it easier
for customers to order our services.
• We implemented a new warehouse management and inventory control system to
reduce costs and improve efficiencies in distributing lab kits to our
health professionals.
15--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• We expanded our iParamed e-Exam platform, deploying over 1,000
iParamed-equipped netbooks to health professionals in all 50 states and
the District of Columbia.
• In the second quarter of 2012, we completed the rollout of our new IT system for processing Portamedic customer orders (known as Partnerlink),
which is expected to improve customer service, while lowering future
operating costs. As of September 30, 2012, the total cost of the system,
including implementation and training costs, totaled approximately $5.4
million of which $1.7 million was incurred in the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012. During the remainder of 2012, we expect to spend an
additional $0.1 million primarily for system enhancements.
We believe that the steps we are taking to improve our selling ability, and the
quality and speed of our services, will enable us to reduce the rate of decline
in revenue experienced in the last several years.
Heritage Labs
Heritage Labs services consist principally of performing tests of blood, urine
and oral fluid specimens and the assembly and sale of kits used in the
collection and transportation of such specimens to its lab facility. Heritage
Labs revenues in the third quarter of 2012 was $3.1 million, a decrease of 3.2%
as compared to the prior year period due to decreased revenue from both lab
testing and specimen kit assembly. In the third quarter of 2012, approximately
60% of Heritage Labs revenue came from lab testing and 40% came from the sale of
specimen kits.
Most of Heritage Labs revenue originates from paramedical exam companies
(including Portamedic), and therefore Heritage Labs is affected by the same
negative market trends affecting Portamedic. In response, Heritage Labs has
taken the following steps to attempt to expand its market share and increase
revenues:
• We have developed a "risk score" methodology to help our insurance clients
better understand the mortality implications between and among
interactions of multiple tests related to specific disease states. We
believe that the mortality data we are providing are unique and more complex than the data being provided by our competitors. We have shared
our risk score data set and design approach with major re-insurers to
validate our methodology to risk scoring. Our objective has been to assist
our clients in their ability to develop new insurance products and
establish more accurate premium rating or pricing techniques using the lab
mortality data that we have developed.
• We have developed sales initiatives designed to increase the number of
paramedical examinations completed by our Portamedic service line that
generate lab testing orders for Heritage Labs. We have also developed
sales initiatives designed to increase the volume of lab test orders for
Heritage Labs that are not generated by Portamedic exams.
While we intend for these measures to increase our market share and revenues,
there can be no assurance we will achieve those results. We believe that, as a
result of the initiatives noted above, along with Portamedic revenue
improvements, we may achieve future growth at Heritage Labs.
Health & Wellness
Health & Wellness revenues in the third quarter of 2012 were $5.3 million, a
decrease of $0.4 million, or 7.5%, from the prior year period. This decline in
revenue is primarily attributable to an 8.1% decrease in the number of health
screenings performed. In the third quarter of 2012, Health & Wellness performed
approximately 102,000 health screenings, compared to 111,000 health screenings
in the prior year period, partially attributable to the postponement of
screening events by several sponsors from the third quarter to the fourth
quarter of 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, we provided our services to
38 health management companies. We have conducted screening events in every
state in the U.S. as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. To date,
we have certified approximately 3,000 of the examiners in our network to be
"wellness certified" examiners. Approximately 55% of these certified health
professionals also perform services for our Portamedic service line.
Health & Wellness services include event scheduling, provision and fulfillment
of all supplies (e.g., examination kits, blood pressure cuffs, stadiometers,
scales, centrifuges, lab coats, bandages, etc.) at screening events, event
management, biometric screenings (height, weight, body mass index, hip, waist,
neck, pulse, blood pressure), blood draws via venipuncture or finger stick, lab
testing, participant and aggregate reporting, data processing and data
transmission. Heritage Labs does all of the testing on the venipuncture samples
we collect at health and wellness screenings.
16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe the market for health and wellness is likely to grow over the next
three to five years, and that we are well positioned to increase revenues from
our biometric screening and coaching services. Several recent milestones
expected to grow revenues include:
• We announced that Hooper Holmes had been chosen to collect biological
samples for the largest government study of tobacco use ever conducted in
the United States. This five year study, which is scheduled to begin in
late 2012, will draw upon our strengths, including our national network of
local health professionals and Heritage Labs' kit manufacturing. We were
chosen for this work by Westat, a leading research and statistical survey
organization.
• In the first half of 2012, we added three new sales positions, along with
new operations and account manager positions.
We believe that we are well-positioned to capture a significant share of the
health and care management market given our Company's unique set of assets,
including Heritage Labs, our proprietary Health & Wellness IT system, and our
network of certified health professionals. However, the success of Health &
Wellness will depend in part upon the yet-to-be-proven benefits of health and
care management initiatives to the employers and others who sponsor them.
Hooper Holmes Services
Hooper Holmes Services revenues for the third quarter 2012 were $4.3 million, a
decrease of 12.7% in comparison to the prior year period. Hooper Holmes
Services' three main sources of revenue are Health Information Services (which
includes attending physician statement, "APS", retrieval and physicians
information line, "PIL"), Consumer Services and Health Risk Analytics.
APS retrieval and PIL revenues totaled $2.0 million in the third quarter of
2012, a decrease of 20.7% in comparison with the prior year period. This
decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decline in the number of APS/PIL units
performed during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year period.
Revenues from Consumer Services totaled $0.9 million in the third quarter of
2012, a decline of 10.4% as compared to the prior year period. Third quarter
2012 revenue from Health Risk Analytics (our risk management and underwriting
services) increased 3.1%, as compared to the prior year period.
Key Financial and Other Metrics Monitored by Management
In our periodic reports filed with the SEC, we provide certain financial
information and metrics about our service lines and information that our
management uses in evaluating our performance and financial condition. Our
objective in providing this information is to help our shareholders and
investors generally understand our overall performance and assess the
profitability of our service lines, and our prospects for future net cash flows.
In the third quarter of 2012, the metrics which we monitored included:
• the number of paramedical examinations performed by Portamedic;
• the average revenue per paramedical examination;
• time service performance by geographic territory, from examination order
to completion;
• the number of cases scheduled by our centralized Portamedic exam
scheduling center;
• the number of health screenings completed by Health & Wellness;
• the number of tele-interviewing/underwriting reports we generate;
• the number of specimens tested by Heritage Labs;
• the average revenue per specimen tested;
• budget to actual performance at the branch level as well as in the
aggregate; and
• customer and product line margins.
17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Certain of the above-cited metrics are discussed in the comparative discussion
and analysis of our results of operations that follows.

Revenues
Consolidated revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 were
$33.7 million, a decline of $4.5 million, or 11.8%, from the prior year period.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, our consolidated revenues
were $107.9 million compared to $116.7 million in the corresponding period of
the prior year.
Portamedic
Portamedic revenues in the third quarter of 2012 were $21.5 million, a decrease
of $3.3 million, or 13.3%, compared to the prior year period. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 2012, revenue decreased to $72.5 million compared to
$80.2 million for the same period of the prior year, or 9.6%. The decline in
Portamedic revenues reflects the net impact of:
• a decrease in paramedical examinations performed in the third quarter of
2012 of approximately 12.2% (251,000 in the third quarter of 2012, or 3,982
per day, vs. 286,000 in the third quarter of 2011, or 4,473 per day), and
in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 of approximately 8.2%
(855,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, or 4,476 per
day, vs. 931,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, or
4,850 per day); and
• an increase in average revenue per paramedical examination in the third
quarter of 2012 of approximately 0.5% as compared to the third quarter of
2011 ($86.77 in the third quarter of 2012 vs. $86.37 in the third quarter
of 2011), and in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, a decrease
in average revenue per paramedical examination of approximately 1.3%
($84.97 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 vs. $86.07 in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2011).
18--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reduction in Portamedic revenue in the third quarter 2012 and nine months
ended September 30, 2012 was due to implementation issues (resolved during the
third quarter of 2012) regarding our new IT system, implemented in the second
quarter of 2012, for processing Portamedic customer orders, a continued weak
economy, along with the June 2012 deployment of our new Portamedic service
delivery model and the related transitional/operational issues associated with
the implementation of this new model . The number of Portamedic examinations
declined 12.2% in the third quarter of 2012 and 8.2% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 compared to the comparable prior year periods. In the second
quarter of 2012, we deployed our new Portamedic service delivery model for
delivering paramedical examinations. The new model resulted in, among other
things, the closure of branch offices, headcount reductions, the elimination of
both fixed and variable costs and the consolidation of certain services into
centralized customer service centers. We are monitoring the impact of the new
Portamedic delivery model and believe it is too soon to determine the model's
long-term impact on revenues.
Heritage Labs
Heritage Labs revenues in the third quarter of 2012 were $3.1 million, a
decrease of $0.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to the prior year period. For the
nine month period ended September 30, 2012, revenue decreased to $10.1 million
compared to $10.3 million for the same period of the prior year, or 2.7%.
During the third quarter of 2012, revenue from lab testing (approximately 60% of
total Heritage Labs revenue in the third quarter of 2012) decreased 3.1% in
comparison to the prior year period. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2012, revenue from lab testing decreased 2.4% in comparison to the
prior year period. Heritage Labs tested 4.5% fewer specimens compared to the
prior year period (107,000 in the third quarter of 2012 vs. 112,000 in the third
quarter of 2011), and 5.9% fewer specimens in the first nine months of 2012
compared to the same period in 2011 (353,000 vs. 375,000). Heritage Labs average
revenue per specimen tested increased in the third quarter of 2012 compared to
the prior year period ($17.26 in the third quarter of 2012 vs. $16.92 in the
third quarter of 2011) primarily due to increased shipping charges that are
passed on to our customers. Average revenue per specimen tested increased in the
first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 ($16.92 in the
nine month period ended September 30, 2012 vs. $16.31 in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2011). Approximately 49% of this increase in average revenue
per specimen tested was due to service price increases, and the remaining
increase was the result of increased shipping costs passed on to our customers.
During the third quarter of 2012, revenue from lab kit assembly (approximately
40% of Heritage Labs revenue in the third quarter of 2012) decreased 3.5% to
$1.2 million, in comparison to the prior year period. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 2012, lab kit revenue decreased 3.1% to $4.1 million, in
comparison to the prior year.
Approximately 65% of total specimens tested by Heritage Labs originate from a
Portamedic paramedical exam or a Health & Wellness screening.
Health & Wellness
Health & Wellness revenues in the third quarter of 2012 were $5.3 million, a
decrease of $0.4 million, or 7.5%, compared to the prior year period. This
decline in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of
health screenings performed in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the
prior year period, partially attributable to the postponement of screening
events by several sponsors from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2012.
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenues totaled
$13.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively. This increase in revenue is
primarily attributable to the increased number of screenings performed by Health
& Wellness in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, as compared to
the prior year period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, health screenings performed by
Health & Wellness decreased 8.1% compared to the prior year period (102,000 in
the third quarter of 2012 vs. 111,000 in the third quarter of 2011), and
increased 11.8% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared
to the prior year period (247,000 in the nine month period ended September 30,
2012 vs. 221,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011).
During the third quarter of 2012, we provided our services to 38 health
management companies. To date, we have certified approximately 3,000 of the
examiners in our network to be "wellness certified" examiners.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hooper Holmes Services
Hooper Holmes Services revenues for the third quarter of 2012 were $4.3 million,
a decrease of 12.7% from the prior year period. For the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, revenues totaled $13.7 million and $15.9 million,
respectively.
Health Information Services revenue totaled $2.5 million in the third quarter of
2012, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 17.8%, compared to the prior year period,
and decreased 16.6% to $7.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012
as compared to the prior year period. Revenue from our APS retrieval and PIL
decreased 20.7% to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the
prior year period primarily due to a decrease of 21.9% in the number of APS/PIL
units performed during the third quarter 2012 as compared to the prior year
period. The decrease in revenue due to the decline in APS/PIL units was offset,
to some extent, by a 1.6% increase in the average price per APS/PIL unit in the
third quarter 2012 as compared to the prior year period. During the nine month
period ended September 30, 2012, revenue from our APS retrieval and PIL totaled
$6.2 million, a decrease of 19.4% in comparison to the prior year period. The
decline in revenue is primarily due to a 20.8% decrease in the number of APS/PIL
units performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in
revenue due to the decline in APS/PIL units was partially offset by a 1.8%
increase in the average price per APS/PIL unit in the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year period. Inspection and Motor
Vehicle Report ("MVR") reporting revenue totaled $0.5 million in the third
quarter of 2012, a decrease of 4.9% from the prior year period. For the nine
month period ended September 30, 2012 inspection and MVR reporting revenue
declined 4.5% to $1.7 million as compared to the prior year period.
Consumer Services includes our tele-underwriting/interviewing services. Revenues
from Consumer Services for the third quarter of 2012 decreased 10.4% to $0.9
million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in revenue is
primarily due to a decline in the number of tele-underwriting/interviewing units
completed of 13.2% as compared to the third quarter 2011.The decrease in revenue
due to the decline in units was offset, to some extent, by a 3.2% increase in
the average price per unit in the third quarter 2012 as compared to the prior
year period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, revenues
decreased 14.7% to $3.0 million as compared to the prior year period. The
decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decline in the number of
tele-underwriting/interviewing units completed of 16.2% as compared to the prior
year period. The decrease in revenue due to the decline in units was offset, to
some extent, by a 1.8% increase in the average price per unit in the nine month
period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year period.
Health Risk Analytics includes our risk management and underwriting services.
Revenues increased 3.1% in the third quarter of 2012 to $0.9 million compared to
the prior year period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012,
revenues decreased 4.7% to $2.9 million compared to the prior year period due to
a decline in revenue from one of our larger customers.
Cost of Operations
Consolidated cost of operations was $26.6 million for the third quarter of 2012,
compared to $28.7 million for the prior year period. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2012, cost of operations was $84.6 million compared to $87.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The following table shows
cost of operations as a percentage of revenues for the corresponding service

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Consolidated cost of operations as a percentage of revenues increased to 78.9%
and 78.5% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012,
respectively, compared to the prior year periods.
The increase in cost of operations as a percentage of revenues is due to
Portamedic revenues declining at a rate greater than its associated costs, as a
significant percentage of costs in this service line are fixed and therefore,
did not decrease as revenues declined. The new Portamedic service delivery model
deployed during the second quarter of 2012 is expected to lower the Portamedic
cost of operations, while improving customer service.
Portamedic costs of operations was also impacted by the investments we made in
this service line during 2011 and 2012, largely our investment in the deployment
and operating costs related to our new workflow system (known as "Partnerlink"),
our new ordering and status website and an updated version of our iParamed
e-Exam. Additionally, Portamedic cost of operations was impacted by increased
health professional fees due to the Company's efforts to attract and retain
quality health professionals. Cost of operations for Portamedic for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, includes a credit of $0.6
million and $0.5 million, respectively, relating to a refund received from a
supplier pertaining to improperly charged sales tax on purchased materials.
Heritage Labs cost of operations decreased as a percentage of revenues to 65.8%
for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the prior year
period. This decrease is primarily due to product mix associated with our lab
kit assembly service line and lower shipping costs.
Hooper Holmes Services cost of operations decreased as a percentage of revenues
to 78.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to the
prior year period. This decrease is primarily attributable to cost reduction
initiatives completed earlier in 2012.

Consolidated SG&A expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2012
decreased $1.8 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease is
primarily attributable to decreases of:
• Incentive compensation expense totaling $0.7 million;
• IT costs associated with operating our old Portamedic customer ordering
system and reduced depreciation expense totaling $0.6 million;
• Portamedic regional and administrative salaries and related expenses
totaling $0.3 million;
• Write-off of certain order processing application software totaling $0.2
million completed in the third quarter of 2011;
• Executive salaries and recruiting costs totaling $0.2 million;
• Sales salaries totaling $0.2 million;
• Legal fees and reduced intangible amortization expense totaling $0.2
million; and
• Workers Compensation and other employee benefit costs totaling $0.1 million.
These decreases in SG&A were partially offset by increases of:
• Depreciation expense associated with our new Portamedic order processing
system (known as "Partnerlink") totaling $0.3 million;
• Salaries associated with the expansion of our Strategic Development
Department totaling $0.2 million; and
• Administrative sales salaries and expenses associated with our Health &
Wellness service line totaling $0.2 million.
21--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Consolidated SG&A expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012
decreased $0.7 million compared to the prior year period. This decrease is
primarily attributable to decreases of:
• Incentive compensation expense totaling $1.1 million;
• IT costs associated with operating our old Portamedic customer ordering
system and reduced depreciation expense totaling $1.0 million;
• Portamedic regional and administrative salaries and related expenses
totaling $0.4 million;
• Write-off of certain order processing application software totaling $0.2
million;
• Executive salaries and recruiting costs totaling $0.5 million;
• Sales salaries and expenses totaling $0.1 million; and
• Legal costs, general insurance and reduced intangible amortization expense
totaling $0.4 million.
These decreases in SG&A were offset by increases of:
• IT salaries, implementation and training costs and maintenance costs for
our new Portamedic order processing system totaling $1.1 million;
• Depreciation expense associated with our new Portamedic order processing
system totaling $0.7 million;
• Salaries associated with the expansion of our Strategic Development
Department totaling $0.5 million;
• Administrative sales salaries and expenses associated with our Health &
Wellness service line totaling $0.3 million; and
• Health insurance costs and workers compensation costs totaling $0.3 million.
Restructuring
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recorded
restructuring charges of $0.02 million and $2.2 million, respectively. These
charges were primarily associated with our Portamedic service line as discussed
in the above section "Restructure of Portamedic Operations". Restructuring
charges for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 were $0.02
million and $0.1 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of severance and
branch office closure costs.
Operating Loss from Continuing Operations
Our consolidated operating loss from continuing operations for the three month
period ended September 30, 2012 was $2.1 million, or 6.3% of consolidated
revenues, compared to a consolidated operating loss from continuing operations
for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 of $1.5 million, or 4.1% of
consolidated revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, our
consolidated operating loss from continuing operations was $10.7 million, or
9.9% of consolidated revenues, compared to a consolidated operating loss from
continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 of $3.0
million, or 2.6% of consolidated revenues.
Other (Expense) Income
Interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $0.01
million compared to $0.02 million for the prior year period. For the nine month
period ended September 30, 2012, interest income was $0.02 million compared to
$0.05 million for the prior year period. The decrease for the three and and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2012 is primarily due to lower cash balances.
Other (expense) income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2012 was an expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and
consisted primarily of bank credit facility fees. For the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2011 other (expense) income, net was a net gain of
$0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and also consisted primarily of
bank credit facility fees, offset by a credit of $0.3 million primarily related
to the reversal of accrued interest and penalties resulting from entering into
voluntary compliance agreements with 12 states relating to unclaimed property.
Income Taxes
We recorded a net tax expense of $0.01 million and $0.03 million for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. For the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a net tax expense of
$0.03 million and $0.08 million, respectively. These 2012 and 2011 charges
reflect certain state tax liabilities. No federal or state tax benefits were
recorded relating to the current or prior year loss, as we continue to believe
that a full valuation allowance is required on our net deferred tax assets.
22
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended September 30,
2012 was $2.2 million, or $0.03 per share on both a basic and diluted basis,
compared to a loss of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share on both a basic and
diluted basis, in the same period of the prior year. Loss from continuing
operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $10.9 million,
or $0.16 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, compared to a loss of $3.0
million, or $0.04 per share on both a basic and diluted basis, in the same
period of the prior year.
Discontinued Operations
In June 2008, we sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our
Claims Evaluation Division ("CED") operating segment. In connection with the
sale of the CED, we were released as the primary obligor for certain lease
obligations acquired but remain secondarily liable in the event the buyer
defaults. In the second quarter of 2012, we reduced the reserve for this
liability by $0.07 million. The corresponding gain is reported in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations in discontinued operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, we maintained a
liability of $0.1 million for this lease obligation. The guarantee is provided
for the term of the lease, which expires in July 2015. As of September 30, 2012,
the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is $0.3
million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, our primary sources of liquidity are our holdings of
cash and cash equivalents, and our revolving line of credit, if borrowing
capability is available based on compliance with financial covenants. At
September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our working capital was $17.9 million
and $28.3 million, respectively. Our current ratio as of September 30, 2012 and
December 31, 2011 was 2.4 to 1 and 3.5 to 1, respectively. Significant uses
affecting our cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012
include:
• a net loss of $10.9 million, including non-cash charges of $3.1 million
in depreciation and amortization expense, $0.5 million in share-based
compensation expense, and a loss on disposal and impairment of fixed
assets of $0.2 million;
• capital expenditures of $3.3 million;
• an increase in inventory of $0.5 million; and
• an increase in accounts receivable of $0.2 million.
These uses of cash were partially offset by:
• a combined net increase in accounts payable, accrued expense and other
long-term liabilities (including restructuring payments related to
employee severance of $1.1 million) of $1.4 million; and
• a decrease in other assets of $1.2 million.
Loan and Security Agreement
We have a loan and security agreement (the "Loan and Security Agreement") with
TD Bank, N.A. ("TD Bank") which expires on March 8, 2013. We are currently
exploring future funding alternatives and options in anticipation of the
expiration of the Loan and Security Agreement. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain such funding or, if funding were available, that it would
be on terms acceptable to us.
The Loan and Security Agreement provides for revolving credit loans to us in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when combined with
the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired letters of credit, does not exceed
85% of "Eligible Receivables" (as that term is defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement), provided that in no event can the aggregate amount of the revolving
credit loans and letters of credit outstanding at any time exceed $15
million. The maximum aggregate face amount of letters of credit that may be
outstanding at any time may not exceed $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2012,
we had a $0.1 million TD VISA credit card account which reduces our borrowing
capacity. As of September 30, 2012, our borrowing capacity under the revolving
line of credit totaled $14.2 million and there were no outstanding borrowings.
23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Borrowings of revolving credit loans shall take the form of LIBOR rate advances
with the applicable interest rate being the LIBOR rate, plus 3.5% per annum.
Through March 7, 2012, we were obligated to pay, on a monthly basis in arrears,
an unused line fee (usage fee) equal to 1% per annum on the difference between
$15 million and the average daily outstanding principal balance of cash advances
under the revolving credit line plus the average daily aggregate undrawn portion
of all outstanding letters of credit for the preceding month. Effective March 8,
2012, the usage fee is one-half of one percent (1/2%) per annum. In addition, we
are required to pay an annual loan fee of $0.1 million. During the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, we incurred unused line fees of
$0.02 million and $0.08 million, respectively. During the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2011, we incurred unused line fees of $0.04 million
and $0.1 million, respectively.
We granted TD Bank a security interest in all of our existing and after-acquired
property and our subsidiary guarantors, including our receivables (which are
subject to a lockbox account arrangement), inventory and equipment. As further
security, we granted TD Bank a mortgage lien encumbering our corporate
headquarters.
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, TD Bank, in its sole
discretion based upon its reasonable credit judgment, may (A) establish and
change reserves required against Eligible Receivables, (B) change the advance
rate against Eligible Receivables or the fair market value of our corporate
headquarters, and (C) impose additional restrictions on the standards of
eligibility for Eligible Receivables, any of which could reduce the aggregate
amount of indebtedness that may be incurred under the Loan and Security
Agreement.
The Loan and Security Agreement contains covenants that, among other things,
restrict our ability, and that of our subsidiaries, to:
• pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem or retire any shares of
any class of our capital stock or other equity interests;
• incur additional indebtedness;
• sell or otherwise dispose of any of our assets, other than in the ordinary
course of business;
• create liens on our assets;
• enter into any sale and leaseback transactions; and
• enter into transactions with any of our affiliates on other than an
arm's-length or no less favorable basis.
We are obligated to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a rolling 12 month
basis of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 as of any fiscal quarter ending after
September 30, 2011 if, for any one or more day(s) following any such fiscal
quarter end, (a) the outstanding balance of cash advances under the Loan and
Security Agreement is greater than $0 and (b) the amount of our cash on deposit
with TD Bank is less than $6 million.
As of September 30, 2012, both because our cash on deposit with TD Bank
exceeded $6 million and our outstanding balance of cash advances under the Loan
and Security Agreement was $0, compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
is not applicable. However, if this covenant did apply, the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio measured as specified in the Loan and Security Agreement as of
September 30, 2012 was (17.9) to 1. As such, we would fail this financial
covenant and therefore would have no borrowing capability under the terms of our
Loan and Security Agreement.
Our failure or that of any subsidiary guarantor to comply with any of the
covenants or the breach of any of our or their representations and warranties,
contained in the Loan and Security Agreement, constitutes an Event of Default
under the agreement. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement provides that
"Events of Default" include the occurrence or failure of any event or condition
that, in TD Bank's sole judgment, could have a material adverse effect (i) on
our business, operations, assets, management, liabilities or our condition, (ii)
in the value of or the perfection or priority of TD Bank's lien upon the
Collateral, or (iii) on our ability and our subsidiary guarantors to perform
under the Loan and Security Agreement.
24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2012, we restructured our Portamedic service line, which included the
deployment of a new model for delivering paramedical exam services. The
restructure resulted in, among other things, the closure of branch offices,
headcount reductions, the elimination of both fixed and variable costs and the
consolidation of certain services into centralized customer service centers. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, our consolidated revenues
totaled $33.7 million and $107.9 million, respectively, representing declines of
11.8% and 7.5%, respectively, from the prior year periods which were primarily
attributable to the Portamedic service line. We are monitoring the impact of the
new Portamedic delivery model and believe it is too soon to determine the
model's long-term impact on revenues. Nonetheless, in response to the declining
revenues, subsequent to September 30, 2012, we have taken additional actions to
reduce our costs and cash outflows, including headcount reductions and a
reduction in capital expenditures and operating expenses, and we are evaluating
additional cash flow measures, including alternative sources of financing. The
actions taken are expected to reduce or delay expenses and uses of cash during
the remainder of 2012 and thereafter.
If the new Portamedic delivery model is not successful and revenues continue to
decline, operating losses will continue, assets may become impaired and we will
be required to take additional actions to further reduce or delay expenses and
uses of cash. This would also reduce our cash reserves and potentially require
us to seek alternative sources of financing, including but limited to new credit
facilities and the sale of assets and service lines. There is no guarantee that
the Portamedic delivery model will reverse the decline in revenues or that our
cost reduction actions will generate the savings necessary to offset revenue
declines, operating losses and uses of cash.
If we are unsuccessful in reducing and reversing past revenue declines and cost
reduction initiatives cannot be implemented to offset revenue declines, these
factors would adversely affect our liquidity and we may be required to obtain
additional sources of liquidity in order to meet our obligations through at
least September 30, 2013. Such sources of liquidity may not be available at
terms acceptable to us.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, net cash used in operating
activities of continuing operations was $5.1 million, compared to net cash
provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $0.2 million in the
prior year period.
The net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2012 of $5.1 million reflects a net loss of
$10.9 million and non-cash charges of $3.1 million of depreciation and
amortization, $0.5 million of share-based compensation expense, and a loss on
disposal and impairment of fixed assets of $0.2 million. Changes in working
capital included:
• an increase in accounts receivable of $0.2 million. Our consolidated days
sales outstanding ("DSO"), measured on a rolling 90-day basis, was 49.5
days at September 30, 2012, compared to 40.5 days at December 31, 2011 and
47.3 days at September 30, 2011. Historically, our accounts receivable
balances and our DSO are at their lowest point in December as many of our
customers utilize the remainder of their operating budgets before their
year-end budget close-out. Historically, we experience an increase in DSO
in the first quarter of each year, in comparison to the prior year-end and
we experience a decrease in the second quarter of each year compared to
the first quarter of the same year. Our third quarter 2012 DSO is
consistent with historical trends as it increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2012. As has historically been the case, we believe our
DSO will again be at its lowest point of the year by December 2012. Our
consolidated allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes a reserve for
revenue reductions, declined approximately $0.02 million since
December 31, 2011, resulting from net write-offs;
• a combined net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
long-term liabilities of $1.4 million;
• an increase in inventories of $0.5 million; and
• a decrease in other assets of $1.2 million.
25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2011 of $0.2 million reflects a loss of
$3.0 million from continuing operations, including non-cash charges of $2.7
million of depreciation and amortization, $0.5 million of share-based
compensation expense, and the write-off of software under development of $0.2
million. Changes in working also capital included:
• an increase in accounts receivable of $0.7 million. Our consolidated DSO,
measured on a rolling 90-day basis, was 47.3 days at September 30, 2011,
compared to 40.4 days at December 31, 2010 and 48.0 days at September 30,
2010. Our consolidated allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes a
reserve for revenue reductions, declined approximately $0.3 million since
December 31, 2010, of which $0.05 million and $0.1 million was credited to
revenue during the three and nine month periods September 30, 2011,
respectively;
• a combined net increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
long-term liabilities of $0.6 million;
• an increase in inventories of $0.5 million; and
• a decrease in other assets of $0.4 million.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we used $3.3 million in net
