The corrected release reads: THE CENTER FOR WOUND HEALING, INC. ANNOUNCES FISCAL YEAR 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS The Center for Wound Healing, Inc. (OTCBB: CFWH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) (CFWH), a leading manager of comprehensive wound care treatment centers that offer wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Financial highlights for fiscal 2009 include the following (all comparisons with fiscal 2008): -- Total revenue of $29.2 million, up 10.6 percent -- HBO revenue up 7.3 percent -- Wound care revenue up 34.2 percent -- Gross margin of 49.1 percent -- EBITDA of $7.5 million -- Cash flow from operations of $6.5 million "I am pleased with our ability to continue to grow revenue and treatment volume in the face of a challenging economic environment. Our performance, particularly with respect to the substantial increase in wound care treatments, which now account for approximately 16 percent of our revenue, demonstrates the quality and consistency of our hospital relationships, staffing and community education efforts in the hospital markets we serve," commented Andrew G. Barnett, The Center for Wound Healing's Chief Executive Officer. "Our operational restructuring and financial turnaround is complete, and by virtually every measure our company is in the strongest financial position it has ever enjoyed. During the year, our company generated $6.5 million of cash from operations and retired $3.5 million of bank debt. We are well positioned financially and operationally to accelerate the expansion of our portfolio of hospital partnerships and are actively doing so. "Throughout the year, we made significant investments in corporate and center personnel and systems to solidify controls, information flow and performance, and laid the foundation to support future growth. In addition to strengthening our current organization and portfolio management, we are building our national business development capability. The quality and experience of our hospital-based staff has never been better, and I believe this is demonstrated by our year-over-year increase in the number of both HBO and wound care treatments. Also, we have rolled-out WoundDocs, our web-based EMR, which will contribute to our ability to improve patient service and recordkeeping, increase utilization of resources, and substantially improve the flow of patient information to the patient and his or her health care provider," continued Barnett. "As a result of these investments, we are well positioned to increase the number hospital partnerships under management and continue to improve profit contribution per center." Full-Year Fiscal 2009 Financial Results Total treatment revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 was $29.2 million, a 10.6 percent increase compared with total revenue of $26.4 million for fiscal 2008. Gross margin for the fiscal year was 49.1 percent, compared with gross margin of 50.1 percent in fiscal 2008. The reduced margin reflects investments in personnel, systems and equipment, along with increases in medical and commercial insurance costs. The Company generated EBITDA of $7.5 million in fiscal 2009, compared with EBITDA of $8.6 million in the fiscal 2008. The lower EBITDA is due to the reduced gross margin (as stated above) plus substantial increases in the bad debt reserve, including approximately $600 thousand in the write-off of receivables balances from two hospitals that filed bankruptcy during the year, and a cautious view to the more difficult economic environment. The Company's EBITDA margin was 25.5 percent. The company generated $6.5 million of cash from operations in fiscal 2009 compared with $2.0 million from operations in fiscal 2008. The net loss in fiscal 2009 was $4.2 million, or ($0.18) per share, compared with a net loss of $3.9 million or ($0.17) per share for fiscal 2008. About The Center for Wound Healing, Inc.
