For the six months ended January 31, 2011, the Company reported net income of $10,695,000, or $0.62 per diluted share, on an 11.2% increase in sales to $153,014,000.

Andrew Krakauer, Cantel’s President and CEO stated, “We are very pleased to have delivered record sales and one of the strongest quarterly earnings in the Company’s history. These positive results confirm the continued success of our three prong approach to growth which includes investing in new product development, sales and marketing programs and acquisitions. All of these strategies positively affected the results this quarter.”

Krakauer added, “As in the first quarter, our Endoscope Reprocessing business had remarkable performance as sales increased by nearly 70%, driven by shipments of our two newest reprocessors, the Advantage® Plus and the DSD Edge, as well as disinfectants and sterilants, parts and service.  This accomplishment is a result of successful new product development, the effectiveness and quality of our sales and marketing teams, as well as improvements in hospital spending worldwide. Our Water Purification and Filtration segment had improved sales and operating income, partially aided by the results from the acquisition of Gambro’s United States water business

completed in the first quarter. In our Healthcare Disposables segment, we showed modest core growth after adjusting for last year’s unusual sales derived from H1N1 flu preparedness. Furthermore, we acquired the sterilization monitoring business of ConFirm Monitoring Systems, Inc. on February 11, which brings a new dimension to our Healthcare Disposables product portfolio, adding sterilization monitoring services to our broad offering.”

The Company further reported that its balance sheet at January 31, 2011 included current assets of $100,985,000, including cash of $16,075,000, a current ratio of 1.6:1, debt of $27,500,000 and stockholders’ equity of $222,175,000.  Krakauer stated, “The Company has a strong balance sheet and continues to generate significant cash flow and EBITDA.  Our net debt position has been reduced during the quarter by 33%, or $5,621,000, to $11,425,000. EBITDAS for the quarter was $12,850,000.”

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Reconciliation of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock-Based Compensation Expense (“EBITDAS”)

The reconciliation of EBITDAS with net income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010,

respectively, is as follows (in thousands):

EBITDAS is a measure of the Company’s performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment, has on the Company’s net income. In particular, acquisitions have historically resulted in significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that reduced the Company’s net income. Additionally, the Company regards EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense and complements operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a Company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. This measure, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, net income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
