PURSUANT TO REGULATION FD

 

TAMPA, FLORIDA - June 23, 2003 - PlanVista Corporation (OTC:PVST) today filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation FD disclosing under Item 9 its fiscal year 2003 and 2004 operating revenue and EBITDA* profit estimates.

 

Regulation FD Disclosure

 

The 8-K discloses that the Company estimates operating revenue for fiscal year 2003 to be $34.0 million to $36.0 million and its EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) profit for fiscal year 2003 to be $11.5 million to $12.5 million.

 

The 8-K further discloses that for fiscal year 2004, the Company estimates operating revenue to be $45.0 million to $50.0 million and its EBITDA profit to be $17.0 million to $19.5 million. The Company will provide supplemental guidance on earnings per share information once it completes its balance sheet recapitalization efforts.

 

The information in the 8-K is furnished pursuant to Item 9 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, except if the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act of 1934 or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act. The 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

 

The Company has prepared the prospective financial information set forth in the 8-K to inform the capital markets of its expectations regarding its results for fiscal years 2003 and 2004. The prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward complying with the

However, this information is not based on actual facts and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results.
