Second quarter 2009 Highlights: - Secured a $1.3 million commitment from a Fortune 100 financial services company; - $3.1 million of new potential annualized revenue, net of contract terminations, was generated during the quarter from 7 new commitments and 3 customer expansions; - 27 Requests for Proposal received; - Cash totaled $4.7 million compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2008. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Fitness Corporation (NYSE Amex: FIT), a leading provider of integrated employee health and productivity management solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. The company reported revenue of $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, in line with second quarter 2008 revenue of $18.8 million. Gross profit for the quarter increased 1.4 percent to $5.6 million compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin for the quarter was 29.9 percent compared to 29.4 percent in last year's second quarter. The company reported net earnings of $0.36 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, the same as in the second quarter of 2008. Three new health management commitments and three health management customer expansions were generated during the quarter, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $3.7 million, compared to $1.9 million generated in the same quarter last year, a 95% increase. Four new fitness management commitments were generated during the quarter, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $0.7 million, compared to $0.5 million of customer expansions in the same quarter last year, a 40% increase. Health and fitness management annualized revenue loss from contract cancellations during the quarter totaled $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, versus $0.2 million in last year's second quarter for fitness management. Net of contract cancellations, total potential annualized revenue generated during the second quarter of 2009 was $3.1 million, up 41 percent compared to $2.2 million in the comparable quarter of 2008. Gregg Lehman, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer, said, "Our financial performance for the quarter came in as we expected. We had a very good quarter in terms of generating $4.4 million of potential annualized revenue from new fitness and health management business. The $3.7 million of potential annualized revenue from new health management business represents our best quarter since the second quarter of 2006. Some notable health management wins for the second quarter include a $1.2 million expansion of a middle market customer we secured during the first quarter, and a $1.3 million commitment from a Fortune 100 financial services company. Regarding our health management sales pipeline, we are currently among the finalists on 18 Requests for Proposal representing total potential annualized revenue of approximately $10 million. Given the new commitments and expansions generated in the first half of the year, along with a strong sales pipeline, we are optimistic that 2010 will produce stronger top- and bottom-line results." "We are also very pleased with the four new fitness commitments we obtained during the quarter, which represents the highest number of wins since the fourth quarter of 2006. At the same time, the weak economy has further eroded our base of fitness revenue as evidenced by the $1.2 million of annualized revenue we will lose from second quarter contract cancellations. The good news is that the economy appears to be stabilizing, which makes us believe that contract cancellations may be lower during the second half of the year. When combined with approximately $3 million of potential annualized revenue in our fitness sales pipeline, there is a very good opportunity to start 2010 with positive revenue growth in our fitness segment." 2009 Second Quarter Business Segment Information Revenue and gross profit information by segment: Health Management (in thousands) REVENUE Q2 2009 Q2 2008 ------- ------- Staffing Services $4,650 $4,569 Program Services $4,186 $3,760 Total Health Mgmt. $8,836 $8,329 GROSS PROFIT Q2 2009 Q2 2008 ------- ------- Staffing Services $1,023 $1,238 Program Services $2,186 $1,713 Total Health Mgmt. $3,209 $2,951 During the second quarter, health management segment revenue grew 6.1 percent to $8.8 million compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. Within the segment, staffing services revenue increased 1.8 percent and program services revenue grew 11.3 percent compared to the second quarter of the previous year. During the second quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, eHealth platform enrollment increased 34.3%, participation in biometric screenings increased 12.4 percent; health advising sessions increased 51.5 percent and health coaching enrollment increased 132.2 percent. The growth of these service areas represents important data points regarding the achievement of future participation and revenue goals. Gross margin for the health management segment was 36.3 percent for the quarter, up from 35.4 percent for the prior-year period. Within the segment, gross margin for program services increased to 52.2 percent, from 45.6 percent for the prior-year period, primarily driven by improved pricing and cost management within screenings and health advising/coaching services. Gross margin for staffing services decreased to 22.0 percent for the quarter, compared to 27.1 percent for the prior-year period, which is attributed to higher wages and benefits for onsite staff. Fitness Management (in thousands) REVENUE Q2 2009 Q2 2008 ------- ------- Staffing Services $9,272 $ 9,837 Program Services $ 673 $ 650 Total Fitness Mgmt. $9,945 $10,487 GROSS PROFIT Q2 2009 Q2 2008 ------- ------- Staffing Services $2,115 $2,350 Program Services $ 288 $ 236 Total Fitness Mgmt. $2,403 $2,586 Fitness management segment revenue during the second quarter of 2009 decreased 5.2 percent compared to the same period last year. This anticipated decrease in revenue primarily reflects revenue lost due to contract terminations during the past twelve months. Gross margin for the fitness management segment was 24.2 percent compared to 24.7 percent during the prior-year period. Second Quarter RFPs During the second quarter, the company received 15 new RFPs for health management services and 12 new RFPs for fitness management services.

Gross margins for the six-month period increased to 31.3 percent compared to 29.0 percent during the prior year period. Net earnings for the six-month period increased 97.8 percent to $1.4 million compared to $0.69 million for the prior year period. Net earnings per diluted share totaled $0.13 compared to $0.07 for the same period last year. Seven new health management commitments and three health management customer expansions were generated during the first six months, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $5.2 million, compared to $3.9 million generated in the same period last year, a 33% increase. Five new fitness management commitments were generated during the first six months, resulting in potential annualized revenue of $0.8 million, compared to $0.5 million of customer expansions in the same period last year, a 60% increase. Health and fitness management annualized revenue loss from contract cancellations during the first six months totaled $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, versus $0.6 million in the same period last year for fitness management. Net of contract cancellations, total potential annualized revenue generated during the first six months of 2009 was $4.2 million, up 11 percent compared to $3.8 million in the comparable period of 2008. Balance Sheet The company ended its second quarter with $4.7 million in cash, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2008. Working capital at June 30, 2009, less cash, totaled $7.8 million compared to $9.4 million on December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, the company had no balance outstanding on its $3.5 million credit facility, and had stockholders' equity of $29.8 million. Mr. Lehman concluded, "As the healthcare reform debate progresses, the idea of healthy diets, physical activity and preventative care are increasingly being accepted as common sense approaches to improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs. The large increases we have experienced in eHealth platform enrollments and the number of biometric screenings, health advising sessions and health coaching enrollees are strong indications that the concept of wellness is growing. Coupled with our ability to demonstrate a return on investment that generally exceeds 2 to 1, we believe that Health Fitness is viewed as a leading provider of integrated employee health improvement services, which should position us for continued growth in the quarters to come."
