HEALTHWAYS REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.31 PER DILUTED SHARE AND FISCAL 2007 EARNINGS OF $1.22 PER DILUTED SHARE
PROVIDES FISCAL 2008 GUIDANCE OF 45% TO 52% GROWTH IN EARNINGS
TO A RANGE OF $1.77 TO $1.86
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 17, 2007) – Ben R. Leedle, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended August 31, 2007. Total revenues for the quarter increased 48% to $170.4 million from $114.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. As expected, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was $11.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $14.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.
Total year revenues increased 49% for fiscal 2007 to $615.6 million from $412.3 million for fiscal 2006. Net income rose 21% for fiscal 2007 to $45.1 million from $37.2 million for fiscal 2006, while earnings per diluted share increased 20% to $1.22 from $1.02.
“We are pleased with Healthways’ performance for both the fourth quarter and fiscal 2007,” Mr. Leedle remarked. “Our core commercial business earnings met or exceeded the high end of our earnings guidance each quarter throughout the fiscal year. These earnings contributed to the 50% growth in the Company’s overall EBITDA for the fiscal year to $130.5 million from $86.7 million for fiscal 2006, which, despite the increased cost of both our international and MHS initiatives in fiscal 2007, drove a slight improvement in EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.

“We achieved these results even as we continued to invest in enhanced product offerings that significantly expand our ability to meaningfully engage every person within a given population, regardless of age or health status, with solutions proven to maintain or improve their health and productivity. These investments are consistent with the long history of innovation and thought leadership that have led to our current market position and will fuel our continuing drive toward integrated, personalized and comprehensive WholeHealth solutions. At the same time, we are being presented with substantial new growth opportunities for our current solutions from both our existing base of available lives and potential new customers, both domestically and abroad.
“The strong sales momentum we have built was again evident in the growth of our core commercial revenues, which increased 53% for the fourth quarter and 54% for the full fiscal year when compared with the same periods in the prior year. The Axia acquisition completed in December 2006 contributed significantly to this growth. Core commercial earnings for the fourth quarter exceeded our guidance, even after accounting for the impact of Axia integration; preparation for large contract implementations; and somewhat lower than expected summer utilization of our seniors’ physical activity program, Silver Sneakers®.
“Our expanding growth prospects were also demonstrated by the fourth-quarter announcement of our first international contract, a three-year agreement with Deutsche Angestellten Krankenkasse (DAK), Germany, to provide Health and Care SupportSM solutions for a portion of its members with chronic diseases. Our costs related to this contract and other international efforts were $0.06 per diluted share for the fourth quarter, $0.02 higher than expected, which were offset by better than expected fourth-quarter results for both our core commercial business and for the two Medicare Health Support (MHS) pilots in which we participate.”

Additional Highlights
• | Continued expansion of billed lives and available lives. Due to new contracts implemented with both new and existing customers, Healthways’ billed lives increased by approximately 350,000 during the quarter and by over 1 million during the second half of fiscal 2007. As a result, billed lives totaled 27.4 million at the end of fiscal 2007, which represented approximately 15% penetration of the Company’s total available lives of 188.5 million at year end. |

Consistent with earlier trends, Healthways’ expansion of billed lives for the fourth quarter reflected the implementation of a variety of new, extended or expanded contracts with health plans and self-insured employers and across the Company’s breadth of Health and Care Support solutions. Since the end of fiscal 2006, Healthways has signed 150 new, extended or expanded health plan or direct-to-employer contracts. In addition, driven by increasing employer demand for proven solutions, Healthways expanded its contracts with self-insured employers – either on behalf of our health plan customers or on a direct-to-employer basis – by 54% to a total of 890 at the end of fiscal 2007 from 579 at the end of fiscal 2006.
• | Significant backlog and strong pipeline of potential contracts. Healthways’ backlog of annualized revenues for contracts signed but not yet implemented at the end of fiscal 2007 totaled approximately $40 million. Contracts signed since the end of fiscal 2007 have increased the backlog by approximately $6 million. |
In addition, Healthways’ pipeline of potential contracts continues to expand. This demand reflects the growing recognition among health plans and self-insured employers of the increasing healthcare cost management and productivity improvement benefits to be gained by addressing the health needs of every individual in their specific populations. The Company believes the current strength of the pipeline reflects its unique and demonstrated ability to drive meaningful outcomes, at scale, across its comprehensive and differentiated continuum of Health and Care Support solutions.
• | DAK contract represents strong entry into large international market. Healthways recently announced a three-year agreement with Deutsche Angestellten Krankenkasse (DAK) to provide Health and Care Support solutions to approximately 50,000 of DAK’s members with diabetes, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in two regions of Germany. This contract is structured as a no-risk, fixed fee arrangement with the potential for incentive bonuses in the event performance exceeds contractual targets. Healthways expects the contract, once implemented, to be generally similar in operation and in profitability to its domestic commercial contracts. DAK serves 6.2 million individuals nationwide, more than 800,000 of whom suffer from these chronic diseases. |
• | 16 customers initiated under Medco alliance. Healthways has expanded the number of its customers under the 10-year alliance entered in fiscal 2006 with Medco Health Solutions, Inc. and is currently providing or implementing solutions for a total of 16 customers, primarily self-insured employers. While these contracts are based on the companies’ initial collaboration, Optimal Health®, the alliance continues to develop innovative products and services to leverage Healthways Health and Care Support solutions with Medco’s real-time patient-specific pharmacy information and pharmacy benefit management services. |
• | Substantial cash flow from operations drives further debt reduction. Healthways generated cash flow from operations of $37.1 million for the fourth quarter and $107.3 million for the full fiscal year. Among other uses of cash during the fourth quarter, the Company invested $22.6 million in the purchase of assets from First Opinion Corporation and $5.7 million in stock repurchases, while spending $20.5 million to reduce bank debt, completing the fiscal year with $47.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, Healthways’ debt-to-total capitalization improved to 45% at the end of the fiscal year from 48% and 51% at the end of the third and second quarters of fiscal 2007, respectively. |

Financial Guidance
Revenue
Healthways today established its guidance for revenues for fiscal 2008 in a range of $782 million to $815 million. The implied 27% to 32% growth over fiscal 2007 revenues that this range represents is consistent with the Company’s expectation of sustainable growth in its domestic revenues. In addition, Healthways expects to record its first revenues related to the DAK international contract during fiscal 2008 in a range of $8 million to $10 million. In prior years the Company reported its domestic operations separately as core commercial operations and the MHS pilots. However, given the relative size of the MHS pilots to the rest of the business, their limited remaining term and relative financial predictability, the Company will be reporting these results with the core commercial results on a combined basis for fiscal 2008 as our “domestic” business. While the Company does not anticipate any performance revenues from its MHS pilots for fiscal 2008, its domestic guidance does include revenues in a range of $4 million to $5 million from fixed payments related to the Company’s participation in the CIGNA Phase I pilot.

Earnings
The Company today also established its guidance for earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2008 in a range of $1.77 to $1.86, or 45% to 52% above $1.22 for fiscal 2007. Consistent with previous years, the substantial continuing growth of our core commercial business is expected to fund the costs of the remaining term of the MHS Phase I pilots and the early stage of international initiatives. Healthways’ guidance for fiscal 2008 earnings per diluted share for the domestic business is in a range of $1.88 to $1.95, which includes anticipated costs of $0.10 related to the Company’s move into a new consolidated enterprise headquarters and an expected net cost impact of the MHS pilots of approximately $0.25. The Company’s guidance for fiscal 2008 earnings per diluted share is also based on expected net costs in a range of $0.09 to $0.11 related to Healthways’ international business.

Summary
Mr. Leedle concluded, “We produced another year of significant profitable growth for fiscal 2007, while further strengthening our position of industry leadership. We believe our success reflects our ability to provide validated outcomes at scale, even as we continue to enhance our value proposition through industry transforming innovation. As a result of our accomplishments during the fiscal year, such as the completion of the Axia acquisition, the progress and learning achieved in our MHS pilots and the signing of our first international Health and Care Support contract, we believe our prospects for long-term growth have increased substantially. We remain confident that, as we continue to build toward our vision of fully integrated, personalized WholeHealth solutions, the further expansion of our value proposition will drive a complementary and long-term expansion of our revenue and profit growth opportunities.”

(1) Core commercial EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes EPS attributable to MHS pilots and international initiatives from this measure and relies on core commercial EPS because of its comparability to the Company's historical operating results. The Company believes it is useful to investors to provide disclosures of its operating results on the same basis as that used by management. You should not consider core commercial EPS in isolation or as a substitute for EPS determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
(2) EPS (loss) attributable to MHS pilots includes revenues and costs associated with the preparation and operation of the MHS pilots in Maryland and the District of Columbia and in Georgia.
(3) Domestic EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes EPS attributable to international initiatives from this measure and relies on domestic EPS because of its comparability to the Company's historical operating results and EPS guidance.
