Financial Overview - Continuing Operations

Revenue - Lower net revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 compared with prior-year periods is almost entirely attributable to the winding down of certain significant contracts in the Performance Sales Teams business unit of the Sales Services segment, partially offset by new contract wins in 2007. Revenue in the Marketing Services segment is somewhat lower due to lower than expected sales and timing of delivery of projects in our Pharmakon business as well as certain market research projects placed on hold or cancelled by customers in our TVG business, reflecting an overall weakened market and negative clinical news impacting certain of our customers.

Gross profit - The decrease in gross profit was directly attributable to lower net revenue.

Operating expenses - Total operating expenses were lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 compared with prior-year periods due to the Company’s ongoing cost-reduction initiatives.

Income (loss) from continuing operations - The loss from continuing operations for the third quarter and nine months of 2007 compared with income from continuing operations for the comparable prior-year periods is due primarily to the winding down of certain significant contracts in the Performance Teams business unit of the Sales Services segment and fewer projects in the Marketing Services segment. Third quarter and nine month operating income benefited by $0.3 million from net recoveries of claims and settlements.

Liquidity and cash flow - Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2007 were $117.2 million, an increase of $2.5 million compared with $114.7 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to a reduction in working capital. The Company had no commercial debt as of September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

Commentary

Michael Marquard, chief executive officer of PDI, said, “As previously communicated, revenue was lower both on a year-over-year and sequential quarter basis, as this was the first quarter in which we were no longer realizing revenue from contracts that expired earlier this year and late in 2006. Therefore, the third quarter, which includes 2007 new sales force contract wins, is reflective of our current revenue run rate. These new contract wins, with an annualized value of approximately $40 million, are indicative of the excellent services we provide. All were competitive wins in the face of industry reduction in internal sales and marketing expenses. We believe that the majority of the contracts represented in our current run rate will be a source of recurring revenue in 2008 and we are confident in our ability to win new business going forward.

“The acceptance of our new PDI ON DEMAND flexible services introduced this year is validating our approach to addressing the changes occurring in the pharmaceutical marketplace. These service offerings are designed to support our pharmaceutical company customers in achieving their objectives by providing greater efficiency and flexible sales options. As previously announced, during the third quarter we launched our Pulsing Teams Services and quickly won a six-month pulsing team contract with a well-known U.S. specialty pharmaceutical company. In addition, we are pleased to announce that we have entered into an agreement to provide full time/flex time and vacancy coverage sales force services to another mid-size pharmaceutical company just this week. This contract has a base value of $2.0 million. As we have stated, and as our strategic plan reflects, as the industry evolves to more efficient sales models, we believe that demand for our contract sales services will expand. Further, we remain vigilant in managing our expenses while maintaining our ability to preserve our infrastructure to deliver flawless execution of our services,” Mr. Marquard concluded.
