CANTEL MEDICAL REPORTS RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 2008

–   Sales increase of 18%

–   EPS of $0.12 (including costs of $0.03 related to the resignation of former President)

LITTLE FALLS, New Jersey (June 5, 2008) ... CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE:CMN) reported income from continuing operations of $2,001,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, on an 18% increase in sales to $64,178,000 for the third quarter ended April 30, 2008.  The results for the third quarter included costs of approximately $720,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to the resignation of the former President. This compares with income from continuing operations of $2,230,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, on sales of $54,412,000 for the third quarter ended April 30, 2007.  For the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Company reported income from continuing operations of $6,097,000, or $0.37 per diluted share (including costs of $0.03 related to the resignation of the former President), on an 18% increase in sales to $185,093,000.  This compares with income from continuing operations of $6,205,000, or $0.39 per diluted share, on sales of $156,531,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007.

According to Andrew Krakauer, Cantel’s President, “We were pleased with our revenue growth in the third quarter, as well as in the first nine months of 2008.  Excluding costs related to the resignation of our former President, Cantel’s earnings performance for the third quarter was one of the best in the past three years. We had a strong performance in the renal business and significantly improved results in the endoscope reprocessing segment. In our healthcare disposables and water purification segments, despite increases in sales, operating income in the third quarter declined due to a number of factors including sales and marketing investments and lower gross margins due to increased raw material and other costs. We are addressing gross margin issues throughout Cantel with several programs including initiation of price increases.  In addition, we are optimistic as

we go forward that Cantel will realize the benefits of ongoing efforts to reduce operating and overhead costs, as well as lower interest costs.”

The Company further reported that its balance sheet at April 30, 2008 included current assets of $87,304,000, including cash of $19,310,000, a current ratio of 2.55:1, a ratio of funded debt to equity of .38:1, debt of $63,800,000 and stockholders’ equity of $166,775,000.  Krakauer added, “Cantel continues to be a strong cash generator and during the third quarter the Company reduced its net debt position by 15% or over $8 million.”

Cantel Medical Corp. is a leading provider of infection prevention and control products in the healthcare market. Our products include specialized medical device reprocessing systems for renal dialysis and endoscopy, dialysate concentrates and other dialysis supplies, disposable infection control products primarily for the dental industry, water purification equipment, sterilants, disinfectants and cleaners, hollow fiber membrane filtration and separation products for medical and non-medical applications, and specialty packaging for infectious and biological specimens. We also provide technical maintenance for our products and offer compliance training services for the transport of infectious and biological specimens.

EBITDAS is a measure of the Company’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment has on the Company’s net income. In particular, the acquisitions completed during our fiscal 2007 and the three months ended October 31, 2007 has resulted in a significant increase in amortization of intangible assets that reduced the Company’s net income during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2008, as compared with the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007. Additionally, the Company regards EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense, which increase in interest expense for the periods presented primarily related to borrowings for recent acquisitions, and complements operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a Company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. This measure, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, net income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
