Emageon Reports Fourth Quarter And 2006 Financial Results
Company Reports Record Revenue and Net Income in Fourth Quarter

BIRMINGHAM, AL — (February 22, 2007)— Emageon Inc. (NASDAQ:EMAG) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 was a record $33.5 million, a 36% increase over fourth quarter 2005 revenue of $24.5 million. The Company earned net income of $2.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in fourth quarter 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, revenue was $123.5 million, an increase of 65% over revenue of $75.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6.1 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.28 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Excluding costs incurred in 2005 and 2006 related to the integration into the Company of Camtronics Medical Systems, Ltd. (“Camtronics”), which was acquired by Emageon in November 2005, the Company earned $3.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.18 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2005, and for the full year 2006 improved to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share from a loss of $4.8 million, or $0.26 per share, for the full year 2005 excluding those same expenses. The Company believes it should have no further charges to earnings related to the acquisition of Camtronics.

The Company’s cash earnings (earnings excluding non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation) were $6.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to a loss of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2005, and were $9.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the full year 2006 compared to $3.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the full year 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company’s financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, measures of the Company’s earnings excluding acquisition-related integration costs, and excluding non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation, are not determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP earnings to earnings exclusive of these costs and expenses is included below. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in addition to the Company’s reported GAAP results, provide additional meaningful measures of operating performance and enhance the consistency and comparability of reported financial results, enabling investors to more thoroughly evaluate current performance in comparison with past performance. This information will necessarily differ from comparable information that may be provided by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to the Company’s operating and other financial information determined under GAAP.

Cash and marketable securities at December 31, 2006 totaled $23.0 million, compared to $13.8 million at September 30, 2006 and $20.5 million at December 31, 2005. Net cash generated by operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006 was $9.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

Contracted backlog at December 31, 2006 was $158.4 million. Contracted backlog represents the aggregate total of fees for contracted future installations and support of existing installations.

“Our revenue, earnings, and cash flow were all at record levels for the fourth quarter, providing a strong finish to 2006,” said Chuck Jett, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Emageon. “We are obviously pleased to report these excellent financial results, and we look forward to continued growth in 2007.”
