HILL-ROM REPORTS FISCAL FIRST QUARTER RESULTS;

UPDATES 2013 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR

R&D TAX CREDIT REINSTATEMENT

First quarter revenue of $428 million grew 12 percent versus prior year

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter decreased 11 percent to $0.47 compared to $0.53 in the prior year

Reported diluted earnings per share for the first quarter decreased 26 percent to $0.39 compared to $0.53 in the prior year

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of $75 million compares to $76 million in the prior year

Financial guidance: Full year adjusted earnings per share are now expected to be $2.01 to $2.11, reflecting the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit; reported revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance are unchanged, with revenue expected to increase 7 to 8 percent and adjusted EBITDA expected to be $315 to $325 million

BATESVILLE, Ind., January 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRC) announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2012 and updated its outlook for 2013 to include the impact of the recently reinstated R&D tax credit. Adjusted earnings per diluted share decreased 11 percent to $0.47 from $0.53 due to lower gross margin, driven by adverse product and geographic mix, along with increased investment in research and development and higher operating expenses associated with recently acquired businesses, including intangible amortization. Reported earnings per diluted share also decreased to $0.39 from $0.53 in the prior year. Adjustments to reported earnings relate to costs associated with recent acquisitions, including the step-up of acquired inventories, additional costs related to field corrective actions, a litigation charge and gains associated with a vendor product recall. See detail in the attached schedule.

Hill-Rom’s quarterly reported revenue of $428 million increased 12 percent compared to last year or 13 percent on a constant currency basis. Excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions, revenue declined approximately 2 percent. Domestic revenue was essentially flat at $273 million, while revenue outside the United States increased 42 percent to $155 million in the same period (44 percent on a constant currency basis).

Management Comments

“Despite a year over year revenue decline in our core capital business in North America, we delivered revenue and adjusted earnings ahead of our expectations,” stated John J. Greisch, President and CEO. ”We are pleased with improved operating cash flow in this challenging environment and we are committed to a continuing focus on operational efficiencies to drive sustainable, long term margin improvement.”

Financial and Operational Highlights

-- First quarter revenue highlights include:

-- North America. North America revenue declined 7 percent to $235 million. Capital sales declined 6 percent due primarily to a 10 percent decline in patient support systems revenue, partially offset by growth in certain other capital categories. Rental revenue declined 9 percent.

-- International. International segment revenue, excluding Völker, increased 14 percent on a constant currency basis due primarily to growth in Latin America and the Middle East. International revenue, including Völker, increased 39 percent to $135 million, or 42 percent on a constant currency basis.

-- Surgical/Respiratory Care. Surgical/Respiratory Care revenue increased 84 percent to $59 million, due to the addition of the Aspen Surgical business. Excluding Aspen Surgical, segment revenue decreased 5 percent on lower respiratory care revenues.

--	Operating cash flow for the quarter was $65 million, compared to $62 million in the prior year.

--	Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $75 million, compared to $76 million in the prior year.

Please see the attached schedules for additional information, including condensed financial information, summary balance sheet, cash flow statement and reconciliations of GAAP to adjusted financial measures.

For a more complete review of Hill-Rom’s results, please refer to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Financial Guidance Summary

Consistent with prior guidance, for full year fiscal 2013, Hill-Rom expects reported revenue growth of 7 to 8 percent. This reflects:

organic constant currency revenue decline of 1 to 2 percent;

no material currency impact at current rates; and

incremental revenue from fiscal 2012 acquisitions of approximately $145 million.

For the full year, adjusted earnings per share guidance is unchanged except for the impact of the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are now expected to be $2.01 to $2.11, including $0.03 related to the current year tax credit and $0.03 related to the prior year credit to be recognized in the second quarter.

Cash flow from operations for the full year is now expected to be approximately $270 to $280 million, up $5 million from our previous guidance. Adjusted EBITDA is unchanged at $315 to $325 million.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, Hill-Rom expects reported revenue growth of 4 to 5 percent. This reflects:

organic constant currency revenue decline of approximately 5 percent;

no material currency impact at current rates; and

incremental revenue from fiscal 2012 acquisitions of approximately $45 million.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be $0.48 to $0.50 for the quarter.

Additional assumptions and discussion will be provided during the Company’s conference call to be held tomorrow morning. Information to access the webcast is provided below.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. routinely provides earnings per share results and guidance on an adjusted basis because the Company’s management believes that the presentation provides useful information to investors. In addition, we are providing adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA). These measures exclude strategic developments, special charges and the impact of significant litigation or other unusual events. Such items may be highly variable, difficult to predict and of a size that sometimes have substantial impact on the Company's reported operations for a period. Often, prospective quantification of such items is not feasible. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of GAAP measures to adjusted measures appear in the financial tables of this release.
