BPO Management Services Announces Financial Results

for Second Quarter 2009

Revenue Increases 68% in Second Quarter 2009

ANAHEIM, Calif., August 17, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BPO Management Services Inc., (OTC BB: HAXS), a full-service healthcare and business process outsourcing company focused on serving the middle-market, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2009, ended June 30, 2009. The income statement reflects the merger of BPO Management Services and Healthaxis, Inc., which was completed on December 30, 2008 and the presentation of the Company’s Canadian operations as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2009.

Operational Highlights

Revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased 68% to $6.6 million from $3.9 million. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by 82% to $13.5 million, compared to $7.4 million for the same period last year. The higher revenues in 2009 were due primarily to the addition of Healthcare segment from the Healthaxis merger.

The Company has fully integrated operations from its merger with Healthaxis.

The Company divested its Canadian operations and eliminated its Enterprise Content Management Division (ECM) in July, 2009. Operating results of the divested operations are shown in the financial statements as discontinued operations. The Canadian subsidiary was sold on July 31, 2009. The divestiture eliminates operations that no longer fit with the Company’s corporate strategy, and allows it to focus on its core strengths in information technology outsourcing and managed applications and business process services for healthcare benefits administration, finance and accounting, and human resources.

With the divestiture of the Canadian operations, the Company’s revenues that are now derived from long-term contracts exceed 95% of total revenue. This exceeds the Company’s goal of 90% of revenues derived from such revenue streams.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company largely completed a previously announced organizational restructuring and consolidation of all financial and related back-office functions to enhance financial management activities and to lower administrative costs. The Company also re-organized its operational delivery structure by combining its Healthcare and Human Resources divisions and by putting operational control for all businesses under a single executive. Accordingly, the Company was able to refine its management structure and to reduce personnel and other expenditures. The changes resulted in a second quarter “restructuring” charge of approximately $382,000. On an annualized basis, the actions described above and other corporate cost reductions are expected to lower annual operating costs by approximately $2.0 million. The Company believes that the lower costs will be reflected more clearly in its third quarter and in future periods. Management believes that organizational improvements combined with expected revenue growth will drive profitability in the coming quarters.

Selling, General & Administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were 37% of total revenue, compared to 44% for the second quarter of 2008. A trend of lower SG&A costs as a percentage of revenues is expected to continue because of the restructuring changes implemented and the Company’s belief that such costs will not increase significantly with organic revenue growth. The Company continues to focus its efforts on internal cost-efficiencies and ongoing expense reduction.

The Company continues to experience a healthy demand for its services, from both new customer prospects and existing customer scope expansion projects, and as a result has been moving several opportunities towards a successful close. As a result, the Company remains optimistic concerning the potential to experience rapid organic growth, particularly in its ITO business unit, in the coming quarters.

Patrick Dolan, chief executive officer of BPOMS, said, "We took steps to further align our operations with our core competencies and reduce our go forward expense structure. Included in this was our strategic realignment, which resulted in approximately $2 million per year in expense reductions. In addition, we made the strategic decision to divest our Canadian operations to further narrow our focus to our core competencies, including recurring revenue from long-term contracts with customers. BPOMS continues to be strategically aligned with middle-market companies who are searching for proven solutions to improving internal operations, while simultaneously lowering costs. We have now successfully built a scalable, robust BPO delivery platform for ITO, and are providing key vertical solutions in healthcare, financial services and human resources. Most importantly, these solutions are anchored by industry recognized intellectual property, and delivered by a high availability, on-demand Tier 1 like infrastructure with additional capacity, and a multi-shore delivery capability. We have a strong pipeline of opportunities throughout our organization but particularly in our ITO division and as the economy continues to recover, we are well-positioned for long-term growth and success.”

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results

For the second quarter, total revenue increased 68% to $6.6 million from $3.9 million for the same period last year. The higher revenue resulted primarily from the addition of the Healthcare business segment, which was acquired through the Healthaxis, Inc. merger on December 30, 2008. The revenue increase was partially offset by a decrease in our base business due largely to a decline in ITO and HRO professional services, and from a net drop in data center revenues. The lower data center revenues result from the loss of legacy customers who had decided to move their operations to a new environment some time ago. In addition to a reduced amount of professional services, HRO revenues were also lower in 2009 because maintenance revenues on historical versions of the Company’s software systems are declining, and the increased revenues from SaaS based sales are not yet sufficient to offset the decline.

Total operating expenses for the quarter were $8.8 million, compared to total operating expenses of $4.3 million during the second quarter last year. The higher operating expenses resulted primarily from the addition of the Healthcare segment, but also resulted from corporate restructuring charges of $382,000, the bankruptcy of two customers which resulted in an increase in the allowance for bad debts of $323,000, and nonrecurring ITO costs to support new customer implementations. The cost increases were partially offset by cost reduction efforts across all segments.

The loss from operations for the quarter was $2.2 million, compared to $425,000 in the prior-year second quarter. The second quarter operating loss includes non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million and the aforementioned bad debt and restructuring charges. These items do not impact the operating cash flows of the business and are not expected to negatively impact future operating results. Management believes this is evidenced by the fact that the Company generated positive cash flow from operations of approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The net loss for the quarter was $5.0 million, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $2.7 million, compared to a net loss of $931,000 in the second quarter last year.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

Revenue for the first six months of 2009 was $13.5 million, an increase of 82% compared to the $7.4 million for the first half of 2008. The higher revenue was primarily due to the addition of the Healthcare business segment, partially offset by decreases in professional services revenues in both HRO and ITO, combined with a net drop in data center revenues. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $17.0 million, compared to total operating expenses of $9.1 million during the first quarter last year. The operating expense increase results from the addition of the Healthcare segment combined with aforementioned restructuring and bad debt charges, and nonrecurring ITO costs to ramp new customers. As in the second quarter, the increases were partially offset by cost reductions across all business segments.

The loss from operations for the first six months of 2009 was $3.50 million, compared to $1.70 million in the prior-year period. Including the loss from discontinued operations of $2.7 million, the net loss for the six-month period was $6.50 million, compared to a net loss of $2.70 million last year.
