PSYCHEMEDICS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 2nd QUARTER
RESULTS — RECORD QUARTERLY REVENUE
$.15 QUARTERLY DIVIDEND DECLARED
Acton, Massachusetts, August 6, 2007 — Psychemedics Corporation (AMEX: PMD) today announced second quarter results for the period ending June 30, 2007 hitting all-time revenue records for the quarter and six months. The Company also announced a quarterly dividend of $.15 per share, the second quarterly dividend of $.15 in 2007. This will be the Company’s 44th consecutive quarterly dividend and will be paid on September 22, 2007 to shareholders of record on September 8, 2007.
The Company’s second quarter revenue was $6,497,290, up 5% as compared to $6,181,386 in the second quarter of 2006. Net income was $1,332,352 or $.25 per share, down 5% from $1,401,120 or $.27 per share for the same period in 2006.
Raymond C. Kubacki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report that our revenue for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 set new all-time records for Psychemedics. Our revenue increase, however, was below historical trends caused by a decline in our base business (accounts over one year). This was influenced by two major auto-related clients who were off from their spike in hiring in last year’s second quarter. Our new business remains healthy. Our gross margins remain strong and, in fact, increased to 63% from 62% for the same period last year.”
Mr. Kubacki continued: “While gross profits were up, expenses also increased at a rate above historical averages due to severance costs, higher than normal legal fees and extra R&D expenses. Pre-tax profits were relatively unchanged from the prior year period. Due largely to a change in the company’s effective tax rate from the rate used in 2006, net income was lower than the comparable period in 2006.”
Kubacki concluded, “We remain confident regarding our future growth and, therefore, we are confident in declaring our 44th consecutive quarterly dividend, thus demonstrating our Directors’ continued commitment to rewarding shareholders and sharing the financial success of the Company with them as we
grow. We remain focused on building shareholder value while maintaining our dedication to operating a lean, profitable, dividend paying company. The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with over $8 million of cash and short-term investments, no long-term debt and approximately $12 million of working capital.”
