EX-99.1 4 ex99-1.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED 7/13/01 Exhibit 99.1 TEMPE, ARIZ., FRIDAY JULY 13, 2001 - ORTHOLOGIC, INC. (NASDAQ: OLGC), ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT HAS COMPLETED THE SALE OF ITS CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MOTION (CPM) BUSINESS TO ORTHOREHAB, INC. OrthoLogic received $12.0 million in cash at the closing, and OrthoRehab, Inc. assumed approximately $2.0 million in liabilities. In addition, OrthoLogic may earn up to an additional $2.5 million in cash, payable in August 2002, depending upon OrthoRehab's success in accomplishing certain objectives. As part of the sale, OrthoLogic retained approximately $10 million in billed accounts receivable related to the CPM business. The company will record a one-time loss on the sale of the CPM business of approximately $7 million during the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, as well as a one-time charge of approximately $7 million related to costs associated with the final divestiture of the business. "We are pleased to have completed this transaction," said Thomas R. Trotter, president and CEO of OrthoLogic. "We are very excited about moving forward with our rapidly growing bone stimulation business and our Chrysalin program." Trotter added, "The second quarter results for our bone stimulation business were very encouraging, and we remain on target to achieve $30 million in total stimulation sales this year, which would represent a 50% growth over prior year. Because the overall stimulation market is growing in the 12% to 15 % range annually, we are clearly gaining share with our market-leading technology. "In addition, we achieved record cash collections during the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. We believe that our improving cash position, coupled with the expected net proceeds from the divesture of the CPM business, will allow us to consider a number of new alternatives for the company, including a potential stock repurchase program." Trotter added, "For the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, we remain comfortable with analysts' estimates of earnings of approximately $0.01 per share, exclusive of the one-time charges previously announced for the quarter."
