PHARMANET DEVELOPMENT GROUP REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2007 AND
PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR 2008
Princeton, NJ – February 28, 2008 – PharmaNet Development Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PDGI), a leading provider of global drug development services to branded pharmaceutical, biotechnology, generic drug and medical device companies, today reported GAAP net earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, of $3.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings from continuing operations of $3.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2006.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) net earnings (see basis of presentation below) from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2007 were $6.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $6.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2006 primarily due to higher direct costs and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
GAAP net earnings from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, increased 99.6% to $12.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net earnings from continuing operations of $6.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in 2006. The Company’s backlog increased 29.7% to $457.4 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $352.7 million at December 31, 2006. Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities increased 49.2% to $80.2 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $53.8 million at December 31, 2006.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) net earnings (see basis of presentation below) from continuing operations for 2007 increased 53% to $26.7 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, compared to $17.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in 2006 primarily due to increased direct revenues, the favorable impact of recognizing certain deferred tax assets and continued improvements in operations.
“We are pleased with our 2007 financial results, having made significant progress over the past year,” commented Jeffrey P. McMullen, president and chief executive officer. “In 2008, we look forward to continued growth and market expansion, while optimizing our operations, increasing resource utilization and reducing costs.”
Basis of presentation
Due to the Company's decision to discontinue certain operations in 2006, all financial results for the periods presented reflect the Company's continuing operations only, unless otherwise stated.
To better reflect ongoing operations to investors for the periods presented, adjusted (non-GAAP) results are used throughout this press release and the accompanying tables. For both the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006, adjusted financial results exclude $0.7 million for the amortization of intangible assets and $0.2 million non-cash share-based compensation expense related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123RShare-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
For 2007, adjusted financial results excludea $10.4 million provision for the settlement of the class action lawsuit and other related litigation, $2.8 million for the amortization of intangible assets and $0.9 million non-cash share-based compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R. For comparative purposes, 2006 adjusted
financial results exclude $7.9 million goodwill impairment related to Specialized Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (SPS), $3.0 million for amortization of intangible assets, $1.2 million for a non-recurring charge related to financing and $1.1 million non-cash share-based compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R.
In addition, on January 1, 2007, the Company began reporting the financial results for SPS in the late stage segment rather than the early stage segment. Prior year financial results have been adjusted accordingly for comparative purposes.
A reconciliation of GAAP results to adjusted (non-GAAP) results can be found in the unaudited financial tables included in this press release. A further explanation of the reasoning behind the use of non-GAAP financial results can be found at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude, among other items, the charge associated with the securities class action settlement and other related litigation, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash share-based compensation expense. Share-based compensation is an important part of our employees’ compensation and impacts their performance. The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics because management and investors can compare the Company’s recurring operating results and make more meaningful comparisons between the Company’s recurring operating results and those of other companies. In addition, management can use this important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating recurring operating results over different periods of time.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP operating income versus operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP operating income excludes certain costs, including share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions that are recurring and have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant expense in the Company’s business.
The components of the costs that we exclude from our calculation of non-GAAP operating income may differ from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report their results of operations. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP operating income and evaluating non-GAAP operating income together with operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the reported GAAP results and the non-GAAP consensus estimate and to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release should not be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the text of, and the accompanying tables to, this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website.
