CorVel Announces Revenues and Earnings
IRVINE, California, November 7, 2005 – CorVel Corporation (NASDAQ: CRVL) reported earnings per share of $0.22 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, down 23% from per share earnings of $0.29 for the same quarter of the prior year. September quarter revenues were $66 million, down 8% from $72 million in the September quarter of 2004. Revenues and earnings for the quarter reflected the Company’s ongoing product development commitment, despite the continuing soft workers’ compensation claims market, regulatory compliance expenses and recent hurricane disruptions.
Despite the severity of regional storm damage, CorVel’s operations staff and flexible information systems architecture, combined to maintain full service continuity. The Company’s local branch staff worked tirelessly to assist the communities most affected by the storms. These new automated workflow management tools have also increased savings for customers throughout the Country. The Company is offering expanded document and workflow management services for medical review, and complete mailroom automation applications.
Medical Provider Networks, combined with Utilization Management, have produced record savings under new regulations in the State of California. Legislation supporting managed care controls is progressing in several states. Such legislation typically includes prompt pay protections for medical providers. The Company has implemented web-based medical review tracking tools to help its customers meet such new regulations and to avoid related late-payment fines.
