fourth quarter of 2001. Net income for the first quarter of 2002 was $946,000,
diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2001.
occurred on December 31, 2001. The Wisconsin operations accounted for $6.4
Company's fourth quarter 2001 revenue. Excluding revenue from the Wisconsin
the first quarter of 2001. The $800,000 decline in revenue from the first
quarter but primarily to the revenue declines in the Houston, Philadelphia,
Georgia and New Jersey markets. Revenue in these markets declined $1.6 million,
or 16.9%, while the remaining 13 markets reported an increase in revenue of
$857,000, or 2.2%, despite having one less business day in the current quarter.
The Colorado market, which has experienced dentist turnover and management
changes over the past twelve months, has experienced improved operating results
in the first quarter of 2002.
Net income for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001 as well as the fourth quarter
of 2001 contains several unusual items that make it difficult to compare
operating results from quarter to quarter. The results for the first quarter of
2002 include costs associated with the Company's evaluation of strategic
alternatives, net of tax, of $32,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, but do not
include any amortization of goodwill as specified by the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which
became effective January 1, 2002. The results of the first quarter of 2001
include strategic alternative costs, net of tax, of $158,000, or $0.07 per
diluted share, amortization of goodwill, net of tax, of $812,000, or $0.36 per
diluted share, and net income after tax from the Wisconsin operations of
$438,000, or $0.20 per diluted share. The results of the fourth quarter of 2001
include the loss on sale of a subsidiary of $1.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted
share, that was not deductible for tax purposes, a charge related to unbilled
orthodontic receivables, net of tax, of $673,000, or $0.31 per diluted share,
amortization of goodwill, net of tax, of $1.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted
share, and net income after tax from the Wisconsin operations of $259,000, or
$0.12 per diluted share.
Excluding these items, net income for the first quarter of 2002 was $978,000, or
$0.44 per diluted share, compared to $933,000, or $0.42 per diluted share, for
the first quarter of 2001 and a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted
share, for the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company attributed the increase in
net income in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter in 2001 to
the reduction in interest expense resulting from the reduction in outstanding
debt during 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. For the period June 1, 2001
through April 30, 2002, the Company has reduced its bank debt by approximately
$16.1 million. The Company attributed the increase in net income from the fourth
quarter of 2001 to the increase in revenue and decreases in expenses such as
clinical and other salaries, other operating expenses and interest expense.
Cash flow from operations was $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared
to $6.5 million for the same period last year and $1.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2001.
W. Barger Tygart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased
with the financial results of the first quarter. Except for the continued
challenges in the Houston, Philadelphia, Georgia and New Jersey markets, the
Company experienced combined revenue growth in the remaining 13 markets of 2.2%
compared to the same quarter in 2001, despite having one less business day, and
combined margin growth in the 13 markets of 14.1%. We are starting to see some
margin improvement as a result of our cost reduction efforts at the corporate
office and in the markets. We are also pleased to see that the Colorado market
is showing signs of stronger financial performance. Our efforts for the
remainder of 2002 will be focused on restoring the Houston, Philadelphia,
Georgia and New Jersey markets to their previous levels of financial
performance."
