PSYCHEMEDICS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES YEAR END RESULTS
RECORD REVENUE AND NET INCOME
ANNUAL EARNINGS UP BY 21%
DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Acton, Massachusetts, February 13, 2007 — Psychemedics Corporation (AMEX:PMD) today announced record fourth quarter and year-end financial results for the period ended December 31, 2006. The Company also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share payable to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2007 to be paid on March 23, 2007. This will be the Company’s 42nd consecutive quarterly dividend.
The Company’s fourth quarter revenue was $5,797,012, an increase of 14% as compared to $5,082,266 in the fourth quarter of 2005. Net income for the most recent quarter was $1,175,963 or $0.22 per share, up 28% from $916,906 or $0.18 per share for the same period of 2005. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $23,425,090, up 10% as compared to $21,388,513 for all of 2005. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $4,902,201 or $0.94 per share, an increase of 21% over the comparable period last year during which the Company earned $4,048,513 or $0.78 per share.
Raymond C. Kubacki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report that Psychemedics has once again set new records for revenue and net income for both the fourth quarter and full year. We have now reported record revenue for the past two consecutive years and record net income for the past three consecutive years. Gross profit, operating income and net income margins all experienced dramatic improvements as compared to prior years. We recorded a considerable increase of 10% in our revenue for the year despite a lukewarm job market and a tough quarterly comparison for the first quarter of 2006 due to Wynn Las Vegas’ major start-up hiring

 


 

effort that resulted in over 11,000 tests during the first quarter of 2005. Our revenue also included the recognition of some deferred revenue pertaining to prior sales of our PDT 90 product, which we continue to sell to parents who are concerned about drug abuse by their children. This revenue accounted for 1 percentage point of the 10% increase in revenue.”
Kubacki continued, “In 2006 we continued to add new customers and to demonstrate our ability to produce strong profit margins. With our patented and FDA-cleared hair test and our large and diverse customer base, we feel we are well-positioned for substantial growth in the future. We are confident that our hair test for drugs of abuse will continue to be the “gold standard” in the industry.”
Kubacki concluded, “The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with approximately $7.9 million of cash and short-term investments, no long-term debt and over $10.5 million of working capital. Our directors share our confidence in the future of Psychemedics and remain committed to rewarding shareholders and sharing the financial success of the Company with them as we grow.”
Psychemedics is the world’s largest provider of hair testing for drugs of abuse with thousands of corporations relying on the patented Psychemedics drug testing services.
