Hooper Holmes Announces Second Quarter 2014 ResultsOLATHE, Kan. --(Business Wire)-- Hooper Holmes (NYSE MKT:HH) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Pursuant to the previously announced agreement with Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc., the second quarter operating results of the Company's Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services businesses are accounted for as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated statements. For the first time, the Company is reporting consolidated revenues and costs of sale for Health & Wellness operations on a stand-alone basis. Consolidated revenues totaled $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2014, representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 53.8%, from the second quarter of 2013. The Company recorded a net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.04) per share, for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $(0.07) per share, for the second quarter of 2013. The net loss for the second quarter of 2014 includes losses incurred in the discontinued operations and $0.4 million of transition costs associated with consolidating operations in Olathe, KS. The Company's revenue increase is primarily due to an increased number of screenings. Health & Wellness operations performed 37.3% more health screenings in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. Revenue increases were also driven by annual contractual price adjustments related to a long-term clinical study contract. Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 decreased $0.5 million to $4.0 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease is due to reduced corporate headcount and lower professional and consulting services. SG&A expenses include one-time costs of $0.4 million associated with the transition of the Company's headquarters from New Jersey to Olathe, KS. On April 16, 2014 Hooper Holmes announced a strategic alliance with Clinical Reference Laboratory, Inc. ("CRL"), under which CRL will become the Company's exclusive provider of laboratory testing services and Hooper will become a member of CRL's preferred provider network for wellness programs. CRL will acquire certain assets comprising the businesses of Heritage Labs and Hooper Holmes Services in a transaction that is expected to close on or before September 2, 2014. Accordingly, the assets to be sold to CRL now qualify as assets held for sale. As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.1 million, with no borrowings outstanding under the Company's credit facility, and working capital of $6.0 million. On August 7, 2014 the Company closed the sale of its New Jersey property with a purchase price of $3.0 million, resulting in $2.54 million of net cash proceeds. Commenting on the 2014 second quarter, Henry E. Dubois, President and CEO of Hooper Holmes, stated: "Our first half year-over-year revenue growth positions us well for continued Health & Wellness growth. Reporting Health & Wellness revenues and costs of sale on a stand-alone basis now provides clarity on our core business performance. We expect transition costs related to exiting the Life Insurance sector to end by the fourth quarter 2014, completing our transformation to a stand-alone Health & Wellness business." Mr. Dubois continued, "We expect to conclude our strategic alliance with CRL by September 2nd and are now completing the necessary operational integration prior to close. Our Company has a clean balance sheet with no debt, and access to capital. We are continuing to focus on long-term strategy, and on delivering shareholder value."
