Hooper Holmes Closes Merger with Provant and Announces First Quarter 2017 Financial Results

OLATHE, Kan. and EAST GREENWICH, R.I., May 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hooper Holmes, Inc. (OTCQX:HPHW) and Provant Health Solutions LLC today announced the closing of their merger on May 11, 2017. Hooper Holmes also announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. 

Merger Closing: The merger creates one of the largest, pure-play health and wellness companies in the United States. For the last nine months of 2017, the company expects pro forma revenues of $54+ million, and adjusted EBITDA of $3+ million.  For the 2018 full year, management anticipates further increases in revenues, adjusted EBITDA of $5+ million, and positive net income.

First Quarter Financial Results: Hooper Holmes’ revenues, which do not include Provant, totaled $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016. Hooper Holmes recorded a net loss of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, which represents an improvement of 9 percent versus the first quarter of 2016. When one-time charges associated with the merger are backed out, the first quarter 2017 net loss would have improved 26 percent as compared to first quarter 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2017 was a loss of $1.0 million, an improvement of 28 percent compared to the first quarter 2016.

Gross profit for Hooper Holmes’ 2017 first quarter increased to $1.7 million, a 16 percent improvement compared to the same period in 2016. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, totaled $3.5 million, a decrease of 9 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016.

"The fundamentals of our business continued to improve in the traditionally slow first quarter. As a combined company, we have created a compelling platform that is poised to deliver best-in-class clinical support, data management and reporting services closely aligned with our clients' goals and needs,” commented Henry Dubois, Chief Executive Officer of Hooper Holmes. “Together, we provide extensive, end-to-end health and well-being services that deliver the right outcomes to the right individuals at the right time, enhancing results for our partners and clients.”

Henry Dubois continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company while Provant’s Chief Executive Officer, Heather Provino, serves as the Chief Strategy Officer. Provant’s Mark Clermont serves as President, and Steven Balthazor continues to serve as Chief Financial Officer.  The Company will operate out of two primary locations, one in Olathe, KS and one in East Greenwich, RI.
