CONTINUCARE CORPORATION REPORTS
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER
QUARTER OF FISCAL 2004
Miami, FL November 13, 2003 – Continucare Corporation (AMEX: CNU) today reported financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2004.
For the three months ended September 30, 2003, medical services revenue was $26.2 million, an increase of 7%, compared to medical services revenue of $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Income from operations during the first fiscal quarter of 2004 was $455,000 compared to a loss from operations of $152,000 in the same period one year ago. Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was $2.4 million compared to a loss of $540,000 in the year-ago period. Income from discontinued operations during the first fiscal quarter was $73,000 compared to a loss of $151,000 in the year-ago period. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was $2.5 million, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $692,000, or $.02 per diluted share, one year ago.
Income from continuing operations during the first fiscal quarter of 2004 includes other income of $2.2 million relating to the settlement of a Medicare obligation related to rehabilitation clinics that were previously operated by Continucare and which were sold in 1999. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) had alleged that Medicare overpayments were made relating to services rendered by these clinics and other related clinics during a period in which they were operated by entities other than Continucare. In an effort to resolve the matter with CMS and avoid aggressive collection efforts that could disrupt its business, in 2002 Continucare entered into a memorandum of understanding pursuant to which it agreed to begin making payments to resolve the liability while also retaining the right to dispute the alleged overpayments. Continucare requested that the liability assessed by CMS be reconsidered and in October it was notified by the Medicare Fiscal Intermediary that the liability was reduced from the originally asserted amount of $2.4 million to approximately $200,000.
The discontinued operations reflected in Continucare’s financial results relate to a group of independent physician contracts terminated effective January 1, 2003.
Commenting on the financial results, Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., Continucare’s Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our financial results. During our first fiscal quarter, we realized income from operations, cash flow from operations increased, and, as a result of the successful settlement of our Medicare overpayment obligations, our financial position significantly improved. We are currently reviewing all aspects of our business with a view to further improving operating results and strengthening our financial position.”
