BIOCLINICA ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
— Conference Call Today at 11:00 A.M. EDT --
NEWTOWN, PA, May 4, 2011 — BioClinica®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOC), a leading global provider of clinical trial management solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 include:
    Service revenues were $16.1 million as compared with $14.7 million for the same period 2010.
 
    GAAP income from operations was $567,000, including a restructuring charge of $679,000, as compared with $1.2 million for the same period 2010.
 
    GAAP net income was $351,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, including a restructuring charge of $426,000 or $0.03 per share, as compared with $711,000, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, for the same period 2010.
 
    Non-GAAP income from operations was $1.8 million as compared with $1.7 million for the same period 2010.
 
    Non-GAAP net income was $1.2 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, as compared to $1.1 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the same period 2010.
 
    Backlog was $111.3 million as compared with $99.7 million for the same period 2010.
Mark L. Weinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioClinica said, “Our results for the quarter reflect our successful acquisition and organic growth strategies. Over the past three years we have transformed BioClinica into an integrated provider of a full suite of technology-enhanced clinical trial solutions including Medical Imaging Solutions, EDC, IVR/IWR and CTMS. This quarter represents our 5th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in service revenue, reflecting the traction we have made in the industry as clients look to us to provide a broad array of services.”
Highlights of our quarter include:
    We signed seven new agreements for Trident IWR, our recently launched solution that enables clinical operations personnel to intuitively set up, monitor and maintain randomization supplies for clinical trials in a fraction of the time previously required. Trident’s ability to efficiently build and deploy complex trials without the need for programming, has been instrumental in our building of market share.

    Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, signed an agreement for our new Enterprise Demand Aggregator (“EDA”) product. With this agreement, Millennium Pharmaceuticals becomes the first licensed customer of EDA, which greatly extends BioClinica Optimizer capabilities.
 
    We experienced continuing interest in our clinical trial management system (“CTMS”) which leverages the power and ease of use of Microsoft SharePoint, and helps sponsors and CROs efficiently access, share and analyze operational clinical trial data in real-time.
 
    We established a strategic partnership with Symbiance, a specialty contract research organization, who joins our expanding Certified Partner Program.
 
    The implementation of our BioPACS™ imaging management system and release of our integrated BioREAD™ image review software continues to provide efficiencies to our entire organization. We have begun to realign our global resources to eliminate certain duplicate functions and reduce operating expenses. During the quarter we recorded a $679,000 or $0.03 per share charge, primarily comprised of severance and facility restructuring costs. The remaining $900,000 charge will be taken during the second and third quarters of 2011. The restructuring is expected to result in $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share, in annual operating expense savings.
 
    During the first quarter, we repurchased 37,613 shares of BioClinica stock at an average price of $5.02 per share, as part of our stock repurchase program. At the end of the first quarter, there was $1,795,000 of funds remaining that may yet be used to repurchase shares under the plan that originally authorized purchases up to $2 million.
 
    We ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, including $10.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, positioning us well for future growth.
“We currently work with more than 200 pharmaceutical and medical device companies and CROs. These companies range in size from the largest to virtual and the projects transcend all phases of the clinical trial process. BioClinica is well-positioned to continue to win new clients and to expand our relationships with our current clients based on our comprehensive product portfolio, which includes medical image management, full service EDC including Data Management, IVR and CTMS.” Mr. Weinstein added, “Our go-to-market strategy continues to be to provide our clients with a blend of services and technology that results in best-in-class clinical research solutions. We have made the investments necessary and will drive increased shareholder value by leveraging our global operational capabilities and sales and marketing organization as we provide these solutions.”
Mr. Weinstein concluded, “Our $111.3 million backlog, an 11.6 percent increase from last year, is indicative of customer acceptance and our ability to convert our proposal pipeline into signed agreements. With this strong backlog, and our expectations to continue to strengthen our suite of services and expand our customer relationships, we remain on track to achieve our previously issued guidance. We are reiterating our expectations for full-year 2011 service revenue to be in the range of $66 to $70 million, our full-year GAAP EPS, including a restructuring charge of $0.06 per share, to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.21 per diluted share, and our full-year non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.35 per diluted share.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
BioClinica is providing information on 2011 and 2010 non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude certain items, as well as the related income tax effects, because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. The non-GAAP information excludes, certain of which are recurring in nature, the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, restructuring charges and merger and acquisition costs. We believe the non-GAAP information provides supplemental information useful to investors in comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in assessing our core operating performance and evaluating our ongoing business operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are included below in this press release.
