Dialysis Corporation of America Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results


LINTHICUM, Md., Nov. 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dialysis Corporation of America (Nasdaq:DCAI) announced financial results for the third quarter of 2005. Operating revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $11,481,000 compared to $10,979,000 for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $537,000 or $.06 per share ($.06 diluted per share) compared to $776,000 or $.09 per share ($.09 diluted per share) for the same period last year, beating analyst estimates for the third quarter by $.02. Operating revenues for the first three quarters of 2005 were $33,235,000 compared to $29,194,000 for the same period last year. Net income for the first three quarters of 2005 was $1,306,000 or $.15 per share ($.14 diluted per share) compared to $1,452,000 or $.18 per share ($.17 diluted per share) for the same period last year.

Stephen Everett, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The third quarter of 2005 proved to be another highlight for our growing company. We opened two new dialysis centers, began construction on two more, and completed the merger with our former parent company, Medicore, Inc. Our financial health continues to be strong, even with the ongoing industry-wide reimbursement pressure from private payors and the costs associated with the opening of new centers, approximately $291,000 for the quarter, which were the principal factors in the reduced earnings for the third quarter. As we enter the fourth quarter of 2005, the company has opened another new center in October, and completed the establishment of a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit with Keybank. It is also gratifying to beat analyst estimates for our company as we continue to see increased institutional interest, and the recent recognition by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 20 small companies in the country."

Separately, the company reiterates that its Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer had requested a leave of absence to address personal private matters, which leave was granted by the company. The reasons for such request had nothing to do with the business or operations of the company.

Dialysis Corporation of America currently owns or manages 26 free-standing operating kidney hemodialysis centers in Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia providing patients with a full range of quality in-center and at-home dialysis services, as well as providing in-hospital services. The company has four new centers under development in Georgia, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.

This release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect the business and prospects of the company and cause actual results and plans to differ materially from those anticipated. Those factors include, but are not limited to, maintaining continued growth and profitability, certain delays beyond the company's control with respect to future business events, the highly competitive environment in the establishment and operation of dialysis centers, the ability to develop or acquire additional dialysis facilities, whether patient bases of our facilities can mature to provide profitability, regulation of dialysis operations, government rate determination for Medicare reimbursement, pricing pressure from private payors, and other risks detailed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly as described in the company's annual report on Form 10-K/A1 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The historical results contained in this press release are not necessarily indicative of future performance of the company.
