San Antonio, Texas, July 31, 2006 – Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (NYSE: KCI) today reported second quarter 2006 total revenue of $330.0 million, an increase of 12% from the second quarter of 2005.  Total revenue for the first half of 2006 was $649.3 million, a 13% increase from the prior-year period.  Foreign currency exchange movements favorably impacted total revenue for the second quarter of 2006 by 1% compared to the corresponding period of the prior year, but did not impact first half revenue results significantly.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2006 were $46.6 million, up 17%, compared to $39.8 million for the same period one year ago.  Net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.63, compared to $0.54 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 17%.

For the first half of 2006, net earnings were $95.1 million, up 24% from the prior-year period.  Net earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2006 were $1.30, an increase of 24% from the same period one year ago.

“The fundamentals of our business remain strong,” said Dennert O. Ware, President and Chief Executive Officer of KCI. “In the second quarter, we faced challenges resulting from significant business litigation, lower homecare reimbursement and increased marketing of unproven competing therapies.  Despite these challenges, we delivered revenue growth both sequentially and year-over-year. We believe that our innovative and effective products, supported by our clinically-focused sales and service team and backed by industry leading medical research, help caregivers and payers achieve improved patient outcomes at a lower overall cost of care.”

Revenue Recap – Second Quarter and First Half of 2006

Domestic revenue was $238.6 million for the second quarter and $471.3 million for the first six months of 2006, representing an increase of 10% and 14%, respectively, from the prior year due primarily to increased rental and sales volumes for V.A.C. wound healing devices and related disposables.  Domestic V.A.C. revenue of $193.4 million for the 2006 second quarter increased 12% from the prior-year period, due to higher V.A.C. rental units in use partly offset by lower realized pricing.  The year-to-year unit growth was broad-based, with increased unit volume across all care settings.  Lower realized V.A.C. pricing resulted from lower canister reimbursement rates under Medicare Part B combined with higher homecare receivable reserves related primarily to invoices/claims greater than one year old.

International revenue of $91.4 million for the second quarter and $178.0 million for the first half of 2006 increased 18% and 11%, respectively, compared to the prior year due to increased V.A.C. revenue.  International V.A.C. revenue of $62.7 million for the second quarter and $119.6 million for the first half of 2006 increased 28% and 26%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year due primarily to higher unit volume.  International surfaces revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was comparable to the prior year, while surfaces revenue for the first half of 2006 declined $6.8 million, or 10%.  The year-to-date decline in international surfaces revenue was due in large part to a $5.1 million sale in the first quarter of 2005 to the Canadian Government.  In addition, unfavorable foreign currency exchange movements negatively impacted first-half 2006 international surfaces revenue by $1.3 million compared to the prior-year period.  In total, foreign currency exchange movements favorably impacted international revenue by 3% in the second quarter while negatively impacting first-half 2006 international revenue by 1%.

Worldwide V.A.C. revenue was approximately $256.1 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $499.1 million for the first half of 2006, representing increases of 16% and 19%, respectively, due to increased rental and sales volumes for V.A.C. partly offset by lower price realization on unit placements.  Foreign currency exchange movements favorably impacted worldwide V.A.C. revenue by 1% compared to the second quarter of the prior year, but did not have a significant impact on overall V.A.C. revenue for the first six months of 2006.  The growth in V.A.C. revenue stemmed from volume increases driven by our continued focus on selling and marketing efforts, partly offset by lower U.S. homecare reimbursement for V.A.C. canisters and higher homecare receivable reserves.

Worldwide surfaces revenue was $73.9 million for the second quarter of 2006, up 1% from the prior-year period.  Worldwide surfaces revenue for the first six months of 2006 was $150.2 million, a $5.6 million, or 4% decline from the first half of 2005, of which $5.1 million was attributable to the prior-year sale to the Canadian government as noted previously.  Foreign currency exchange movements favorably impacted worldwide surfaces revenue by 1% for the second quarter while unfavorably impacting first half surfaces revenue by 1%.  Domestic surfaces revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 each increased 1% from the same periods one year ago.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the second quarter and first six months of 2006 was $152.6 million and $302.8 million, respectively, representing increases of 12% and 15% from the same periods of the prior year.  Gross profit margin for the current quarter was negatively impacted by lower homecare reimbursement for V.A.C. canisters and increased homecare receivable reserve levels, which had the effect of reducing revenue growth in the period.  In addition, field sales and service costs increased as a percent of revenue during the period.

In addition, KCI has historically presented licensing fees associated with our Rental Revenue in Rental Expenses and licensing fees associated with our Sales Revenue in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses.  Effective with the second quarter of 2006, we have reclassified licensing fees associated with our Sales Revenue from SG&A Expenses to Cost of Sales for each of the periods presented in this release.  The reclassification had the affect of reducing our gross profit margin for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 by 2.1%.  We believe that this presentation is more consistent with current industry practice for the reporting of licensing fees and, therefore, provides more comparable financial information.  We have also provided a tabular presentation of this change for each of the periods presented herein and each of the last five annual periods for comparison purposes.

Legal Expenses

As compared to the prior-year period, second quarter 2006 SG&A expenses include an additional $3.5 million related to our patent litigation case.  Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the second quarter and first six months of 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense totaling approximately $4.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, before income taxes, or $0.04 and $0.07, respectively, per diluted share, under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R.  Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.

Income Tax Rate

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 was 30.0% compared to 34.5% for the same period in 2005.  The income tax rate reduction was primarily attributable to the favorable resolution of two foreign tax contingencies during the period.  Going forward, we expect our effective tax rate to be in the 33% - 35% range.

Outlook

The following guidance is based on current information and expectations as of July 31, 2006:

KCI is reaffirming its projections for 2006 total revenue of $1.34 – $1.39 billion based on continued demand for its V.A.C. negative pressure wound therapy devices and related supplies.  The Company is also reaffirming its projections for net earnings per diluted share for 2006 of $2.59 – $2.69 per share, based upon a weighted average diluted share estimate of 73.5 – 74.5 million shares.
