Dade BEHRING REPORTS 5 PERCENT REVENUE GROWTH IN THE
SeCOND QUARTER, 2006
Earnings per share increases 139 percent
Deerfield, IL (July 25, 2006)¾ Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:DADE) today reported second quarter earnings per share of $0.43, an increase of $0.25 per share over the second quarter of 2005 and also reported revenue of $445 million, an increase of 5 percent on both a reported and constant currency1 basis. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $24 million or 3 percent to $860 million, while earnings per share increased $0.36 or 80 percent.
“Our strong and consistent financial performance is directly related to the ability of our people to effectively execute our customer excellence business strategy,” said Jim Reid-Anderson, Chairman, President and CEO, Dade Behring. “We are highly focused on providing practical, relevant solutions to meet the needs of clinical laboratory customers around the globe, which positions us well for long-term growth.”
Pre-tax income in the quarter of $57.8 million included $5.0 million of stock-based compensation expense as compared to $1.1 million in the same quarter last year. This expense negatively impacted earnings per share by $0.04 and $0.07 in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. A portion of the reported earnings growth was attributable to $32.4 million of pre-tax charges related to the company’s
second quarter, 2005 debt refinancing, which negatively impacted that period’s earnings per share by $0.23.
The company’s worldwide installed base of instruments grew to 39,300 as of June 30, 2006, a 1.3 percent increase for the quarter and a year-over-year increase of 7.5 percent.
Cash flow from operations, after investing activities and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, was $20 million for the second quarter and $66 million June year-to-date. The company paid a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share totaling $4.3 million during the quarter and repurchased $57 million of its common stock. During the last four quarters the company has repurchased $234 million of its common stock.
The first six months of spending for research and development increased $11 million or 15 percent over the same period last year, and represented 9.1 percent of revenue.
“An ongoing driver of our success has been new product introductions,” said John Duffey, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Dade Behring. “Investing in new technology is a high priority for us, given our goal of creating incremental value for shareholders.”
Cash earnings per share2 was $0.68 and $1.32 for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 70 percent and 37 percent, respectively.
Second Quarter, 2006 Revenue Details:
· U.S. sales increased 6.8 percent with 9.5 percent growth in reagent, service and operating lease revenue.
· Revenue outside the United States increased 3.5 percent on a constant currency basis
· The chemistry, hemostasis and microbiology product lines generated strong growth.

Second Quarter 2006 Announcements:
During the second quarter, the company announced it had granted rights to American Diagnostica for the in vitro diagnostic use of Factor VII –activating protease (FSAP) for the development of early stage cardiovascular disease tests and to study the role of FSAP in coagulation disorders.
The company also announced the cardiac-specific CardioPhaseâ hsCRP test for the Dimensionâ integrated chemistry systems. This cardiac specific high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) test has been cleared by the FDA for both risk assessment of future cardiovascular disease and risk stratification for the prognosis of recurrent events.
In addition, during the quarter, the company announced it has been awarded the Premier Inc. Healthcare Alliance 2006 Pinnacle Award for supplier performance. The 2006 Pinnacle Award was presented to nine companies out of an eligible 400 contracted suppliers based upon meeting and exceeding the expectations of Premier and its members.

1. "Constant currency" is not a U.S. GAAP defined measure. The company believes this measure provides a meaningful analysis of the underlying activity, since it eliminates the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes on a constant currency basis have been calculated by comparing reported current year amounts to prior year amounts in local currency translated at the foreign currency exchange rates for the current year. "Constant currency," as defined or presented by the company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
2. "Cash earnings per share" is not a U.S. GAAP defined measure. The company believes this measure provides meaningful profitability metrics, given current accumulated tax loss carryforwards and the net depreciation/amortization impacts relating to the revaluation of assets during the company's 2002 restructuring.
