CONCENTRA OPERATING CORPORATION Reports first quarter results

ADDISON, Texas, May 5, 2003 – Concentra Operating Corporation (“Concentra”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Company reported consolidated Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of $34,165,000 for the quarter as compared to $28,467,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Revenue for the first quarter was $252,151,000 as compared to $240,001,000 for the first quarter of 2002. Operating income increased to $22,772,000 from $17,081,000 in the year-earlier period. Net income for the quarter was $7,433,000 compared with $2,956,000 reported for the first quarter of 2002. The prior year’s results for the first quarter included adjustments related primarily to a change in the Company’s estimate of accounts receivable reserves and to a lesser extent an adjustment for certain employee benefits, both of which decreased revenue by $5,389,000 and net income and EBITDA by $3,239,000.

“We’re pleased with the growth in revenue and profitability which we achieved during the first quarter,” said Daniel Thomas, Concentra’s Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the severe winter storms which affected the country in February and March, our health centers produced a same-market visit growth of 0.7% and a same-market revenue growth of 5.1% during the quarter. Our Network Services segment also produced attractive increases in revenue. The top-line growth in this segment of our business was driven by increases in market share from customers we have recently implemented into our group health and workers’ compensation bill review and re-pricing service lines.

“Our results also reflect the benefit of a continuing focus on improving the productivity of our workforce. Since the end of the first quarter of 2002, we’ve decreased our employment levels by 530 positions to a current level that is just under 10,000. These reductions, when coupled with our year-over-year revenue growth, have clearly improved our operational effectiveness and our levels of financial performance,” said Thomas.

Commenting on his outlook for future quarters, Thomas stated that despite the prolonged weakness of the country’s labor markets, he believes Concentra will continue to be able to overcome the effects of this poor nationwide economic climate through a consistent focus on expanding the Company’s market share. “Approximately 80% of our revenue is directly related to services performed in support of working Americans. Although we continue to see lower nationwide employment and workers’ compensation injury levels, I’m pleased that our sales, marketing and cost reduction efforts have enabled us to offset the effects of these economic pressures.”

The Company also reported that as of March 31, 2003, it had no borrowings outstanding on its $100,000,000 revolving credit facility, had cash and investment balances of $9,338,000 and that its days sales outstanding (“DSO”) was 62 days. This was consistent with the Company’s December 31, 2002 DSO level of 62 days and reflected an improvement over the DSO level of 66 days reported for the first quarter of the prior year.

Computations of Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) have been provided in this press release primarily due to the use of this measure by the holders of the Company’s 13% Senior Subordinated Notes, and other lenders, for purposes of determining the Company’s performance in light of its debt covenant requirements, which are stated in the Company’s debt agreements as measures that relate to EBITDA. The Company’s computations of this measure may differ from that provided by other companies due to differences in the inclusion or exclusion of items in its computations as compared to that of others. The Company’s measure of EBITDA has been made in a manner consistent with the requirements of the indenture that relates to its 13% Senior Subordinated Notes. EBITDA is a measure that is not prescribed for under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA specifically excludes changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other items that are set forth on a cash flow statement presentation of a company’s operating, investing and financing activities, and it also excludes the effects of interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, taxes and other items that are included when determining a company’s net income. As such, the Company would encourage a reader not to use this measure as a substitute for the determination of net income, operating cash flow, or other similar GAAP-related measures, and to use it primarily for the debt covenant compliance purposes above.
