HOOPER HOLMES ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER

AND FULL YEAR 2006 RESULTS

BASKING RIDGE, NJ, March 14, 2006, Hooper Holmes, Inc. (AMEX:HH), a leading provider of risk assessment services to the insurance industry, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

For the three months ended December 31, 2006, total revenues decreased 7% to $71.2 million compared to $76.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Company recorded a net loss of $41.4 million, or $(0.61) per share, compared to a net loss of $99.3 million or $(1.51) per share in 2005. The fourth quarter 2006 net loss includes a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets of $38.0 million, along with restructuring and other charges totaling $2.0 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, total revenues were $293.9 million compared to $320.3 million in the comparable period of 2005, a decrease of 8%. The Company’s net loss for 2006 totaled $85.2 million, or $(1.28) per share, compared to a net loss of $96.6 million, or $(1.47) per share in 2005. The net loss in 2006 included a non-cash impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets of $38.0 million, a non-cash charge of $31.3 million related to an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and $10.5 million of restructuring and other charges. The 2005 net loss included a $133.6 million non-cash impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets, along with restructuring and other charges of $6.6 million.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Results by Division

Health Information Division (HID)

The Company’s Health Information Division reported a decrease in fourth quarter revenues to $64.0 million compared to $68.0 million in 2005, due primarily to continued weakness in the Company’s core paramedical business.

·   Portamedic revenues decreased 10% to $37.7 million, compared to $41.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The decrease is a result of fewer paramedical exams being completed during the quarter, primarily attributable to the overall decline in life insurance application activity.

·   Infolink reported revenues of $7.6 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The decrease reflects fewer Attending Physician Statement (APS) orders, partially offset by an increase in tele-interviewing revenue.

·   Heritage Labs revenues decreased 1% to $4.3 million compared to $4.4 million in the same period of 2005, as a result of fewer units being tested.

·   Mid-America Agency Services (MAAS) revenues increased 10% to $4.3 million compared to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, the result of increased volume in outsourced underwriting cases.

·   Medicals Direct Group revenues were up 5% to $10.1 million compared to $9.6 million in the same period of 2005, primarily due to favorable foreign exchange.

Claims Evaluation Division (CED)

The CED reported fourth quarter revenues of $7.2 million, a decrease of 15% compared to $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of continued declines in independent medical exams and peer reviews from current customers.

Strategic Operations Review

The Company is implementing many initiatives during 2007 and 2008 to significantly reduce expenses and generate incremental revenues. These initiatives are the outcome of a Strategic Operations Review. This review was led by the Company’s executive team with support from external consultants and completed on schedule in September 2006. When fully implemented, these initiatives are expected to result in approximately $17.5 million of additional annual operating income, comprised of $11.5 million in annual cost reductions and approximately $6.0 million of additional operating income from new revenue initiatives.

James Calver, Chief Executive Officer of Hooper Holmes, commented, “We have improved asset utilization through restructuring our branch office network. We have leveraged technology to improve productivity by deploying a new branch ordering system. We have added to our sales staff in all divisions and have begun piloting new services. Having corrected many of the imbalances of the past, reversing our decline in revenues remains the top priority over the next eight quarters of our turnaround program. We believe we have many opportunities to expand our business, including opportunities to provide unmatched, national coverage to companies who deliver wellness and disease management programs to their corporate customers.”
