HearUSA Reports Revenues for Fourth Quarter 2008

 

West Palm Beach, Fla. – January 9, 2009 – HearUSA, Inc. (AMEX:EAR), the recognized leader in hearing care for the nation's top managed care providers through 200 company-owned hearing care centers and a network of over 1,900 affiliated providers, reported revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 27, 2008.

 

Net revenues decreased approximately 11% to $24.6 million from the same period a year ago and approximately 14% from the previous quarter.

 

“The economic downturn in the fourth quarter of 2008 severely impacted all sectors of the economy and ours was no exception,” said Stephen J. Hansbrough, HearUSA’s chairman and CEO. “As reported in recent releases, we have acted swiftly and decisively to deal with today’s realities. It should also be noted that revenue for the year increased approximately 9% to a record $112 million. The majority of the increase was attributable to increased market share.”

 

The company will provide further results in its complete fourth quarter and full year earnings press release and conference call, which will be announced at a later date.
