CONCENTRA OPERATING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
ADDISON, Texas, August 8, 2005 – Concentra Operating Corporation (“Concentra” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Company reported consolidated Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $44,825,000 for the quarter, which compared to $44,318,000 in EBITDA reported for the same period in 2004. Concentra computes Adjusted EBITDA in the manner prescribed by its bond indentures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided within this press release.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2005 increased to $286,914,000 from $281,450,000 in the year-earlier period. Operating income grew 11% to $37,335,000 from $33,616,000 in the second quarter of last year. This increase in operating income primarily related to a gain on the sale of certain assets of $1,426,000 during the quarter and the fact that results for the prior year included $2,502,000 in general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s refinancing and dividend transactions. During the quarter, in connection with an audit of prior tax years, Concentra also received a tax benefit of $10,217,000 associated with the resolution with the Internal Revenue Services of an issue relating to the deductibility of previously incurred transaction costs. Including this benefit, net income for the quarter was $23,628,000. This compares with net income of $3,590,000 for the same period in 2004. The Company’s prior-year results included a loss on the early retirement of debt of $11,815,000 related to the retirement of the majority of Concentra’s 13% Senior Subordinated Notes during the second quarter of last year.
Concentra’s revenue on a year-to-date basis increased to $561,843,000 from $551,603,000 in the same period of 2004. Including the charges and gains described above, operating income increased 9% to $68,210,000 from $62,431,000 for the first six months of 2004. Net income for the first half of the year was $32,811,000 versus $11,763,000 in the first half of 2004. For the year-to-date period, Adjusted EBITDA was $84,335,000, which compares to $83,322,000 in the comparable period last year.
“During the quarter, our Health Services segment continued to provide us with strong growth in revenue and earnings,” said Daniel Thomas, Concentra’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Same-center visits increased 4.8% and, after considering increases in our average revenue per visit, we were pleased to achieve a same-center revenue growth rate of 6.6% during

the quarter. These organic increases continue to be complemented by exceptional levels of growth in our ancillary services and the beneficial effects of our acquisitions. When considering the value that we believe our recently announced acquisition of Occupational Health + Rehabilitation Inc (“OH+R”) will bring to this segment of our business, we are excited about our growth prospects during coming years.
“Due primarily to the effects of the California Fee Schedule change put into effect in early 2004, the loss of a significant Network Services customer, which we reported last December, and the other factors that we have previously discussed, our positive Health Services results continue to be offset by a year-over-year decrease in the revenue and earnings from our Network Services segment. Despite these current year trends, we are increasingly optimistic about our long-term prospects in this portion of our business. In particular, we feel that our recently announced acquisition of Beech Street Corporation (“Beech Street”) and its preferred provider organization offers us the opportunity to achieve significant new revenue growth in both the group health and workers’ compensation portions of our Network Services segment,” said Thomas.
Concentra recently announced that it had entered into definitive agreements to acquire Beech Street and OH+R. Beech Street is one of the country’s leading preferred provider organizations and has approximately 400,000 physicians, 52,000 ancillary healthcare providers and 3,800 acute-care hospitals within its provider network. OH+R is a publicly held corporation that provides occupational health care services through 35 health centers located predominately in the northeastern United States. The closings of both of these acquisitions, which are expected to occur later this year, are subject to further documentation, the satisfaction of pre-closing conditions, and the receipt of required approvals.
Concentra currently anticipates that it will raise approximately $157,500,000 in additional senior indebtedness during the third quarter, will assume approximately $1,100,000 in capital leases, and will utilize an estimated $59,400,000 of available cash to finance its recently announced acquisitions of OH+R and Beech Street. On a combined basis, and excluding non-recurring items, these companies reported approximately $128,600,000 in revenue and $17,500,000 in EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2005.
At June 30, 2005, Concentra had $58,819,000 in unrestricted cash and investments. At the conclusion of the second quarter, the Company had a Days Sales Outstanding of 57 days, which represented the lowest level achieved in the Company’s history. For the trailing twelve-month period ending June 30, 2005, Concentra had net cash provided by operating activities of $115,122,000.

Computations of Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) have been provided in this press release due to the use of this measure by the holders of the Company’s 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and 9.125% Senior Subordinated Notes and other lenders, for purposes of determining the Company’s performance in light of its debt covenant requirements, which are stated in the Company’s debt agreements as measures that relate to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is disclosed because compliance with the liquidity covenants included in these agreements is considered material to the Company. The Company’s computations of this measure may differ from that provided by other companies due to differences in the inclusion or exclusion of items in its computations as compared to that of others. The Company’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA has been made in a manner consistent with the requirements of the indenture that relates to its 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes and 9.125% Senior Subordinated Notes. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure that is not prescribed for under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA specifically excludes changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other items that are set forth on a cash flow statement presentation of a company’s operating, investing and financing activities, and it also excludes the effects of interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, taxes and other items that are included when determining a company’s net income. As such, the Company would encourage a reader not to use this measure as a substitute for the determination of net income, operating cash flow, or other similar GAAP-related measures, and to use it primarily for the debt covenant compliance purposes above.
