Schick Technologies Reports Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Results

Net Revenues Increase 30%

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., November 9, 2005 — Schick Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: SCHK) today reported its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Revenues for the quarter increased 30%, to $14.1 million, compared to $10.9 million for the same period last year.

Operating income decreased $0.3 million or 9%, to $3.5 million, compared to $3.8 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the quarter was impacted by merger and acquisition charges of $1.1 million arising primarily from the proposed business combination with Sirona Dental Systems.

Net income for the quarter was $2.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year. Merger and acquisition charges, net of related income taxes, approximate $0.04 per diluted share. Without these charges, the Company’s net income per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 would have been $0.17.

At September 30, 2005, the Company had $45.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $53.4 million in working capital, as compared to $39.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $47.1 million in working capital at March 31, 2005.

The Company also announced today that it has submitted an application to be listed on the NASDAQ National Market and believes it meets all NASDAQ listing criteria.

Jeffrey T. Slovin, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our performance this quarter. Revenues continued to grow with CDR product revenues up by 52% over last year, including a 52% increase in CDR product revenues from Patterson, our exclusive North American distributor. Our bottom line was strong, although it was impacted by the costs associated with our exchange agreement with Sirona. We remain excited about our planned combination with one of the world’s premier dental companies and strongly believe that it will benefit patients, customers, employees and shareholders. We also remain confident that the level of our success in the market today will only be enhanced by joining with Sirona, as the combination of these businesses will enable us to continue to bring innovative new products to dental professionals and their patients.”

Net revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2005 were $29.8 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 37%, compared to $21.8 million in the same period last year.

For the six months, income from operations increased $ 2.3 million, or 33%, up to $9.2 million compared to $6.9 million for the same period of the prior year. Excluding the impact of the merger and acquisition costs of $1.1 million, income from operations for the six months would have been $10.3 million.

Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was $6.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding the impact of the merger and acquisition costs of $0.04 per diluted share, the Company’s net income per diluted share for the six months would have been $0.38, an increase of 52%.
