"Last year was a transformational year for our company. We believe the acquisition of Online Benefits positions us favorably to provide the solutions small and mid-size employers need to deal with rising benefit and healthcare costs," commented Kevin S. Noland, A.D.A.M.'s president and chief executive officer. "The need for information and decision-support tools to enable consumers to become more effective participants in their benefit plan and health and wellness has never been greater, and we see continued demand for these types of services as more employers look for ways to manage costs and improve the productivity of their employees.

"Additionally, we see continued demand in our healthcare markets for content and applications that speak to our client's needs for engaging their members, patients and consumer audiences in their health and wellness. We have a strong pipeline of new products that will drive our long term growth and expand our operating margins, including Benergy 2G!, our next generation consumer benefits and health management portal that we are expecting to release in phases during 2006, with the initial release in the second quarter."

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income before severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense and amortization of purchased intangibles. Adjusted Net Income represents net income before severance costs, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles and the recognition of deferred income tax benefit from the re-evaluation of our income tax reserves. Adjusted EPS is computed using Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the recognition of deferred income tax benefit from the re-evaluation of our income tax reserves. These financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they are appropriate measures for evaluating our operating performance. We present these non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information regarding our performance and because they are measures by which we gauge our profitability. You should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative to net income. Our calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and, as a result, comparability may be limited. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as provided with the financial results attached to this press release.

A.D.A.M. disclaims any obligation or duty to update any of its forward-looking statements.
