Osteotech Reports 2007 Second Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share of $.05

    EATONTOWN, N.J., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Osteotech, Inc.
(Nasdaq: OSTE) reported today that net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 was $.9 million, or $.05 diluted earnings per share, compared
to net income of $1.1 million, or $.06 diluted earnings per share, for the
three months ended June 30, 2006. Revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2007 increased 5% to $26.5 million from $25.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006. Gross margin was 48% and 49% in the second
quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net income for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 was negatively impacted by the costs associated with
our annual preventative maintenance activities of $.3 million and the
investment in our distribution effectiveness initiatives, which we
previously estimated would be $4.0 million annually.
    Sam Owusu-Akyaw, Osteotech's President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "Our financial results continue to favorably indicate the
successful execution of our strategic initiatives. We are pleased that the
business is moving forward and the team is focused on revenue growth."
    Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $.2 million, or
$.01 diluted earnings per share. Net income for the first half of 2007 was
negatively impacted by the first quarter costs related to the settlement of
certain litigation of $1.1 million, the costs associated with our annual
preventative maintenance activities and the costs associated with improving
our distribution capabilities. Net income for the six months ended June 30,
2006 was $1.6 million, or $.09 diluted earnings per share. Revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 3% to $51.7 million from $50.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Gross margin was 49% for
the first half of 2007 compared to 48% for the first half of 2006.
    DBM Segment revenue increased 13% to $16.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 from $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2006, primarily as a result of increased unit sales volume. Revenue in the
Hybrid/Synthetic Segment increased 3% for the three months ended June 30,
2007 as compared to the same respective period in 2006.
    DBM Segment revenue increased 8% to $31.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 from $29.3 million in the corresponding period in 2006,
substantially as a result of increased unit sales volume. Revenue in the
Hybrid/Synthetic Segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
relatively flat with increased revenues from our Plexur(TM) P Biocomposite
and a decline in revenue from the GraftCage(TM) Spacers.
    Traditional Tissue Segment revenue increased 5% and 13% in the second
quarter and first half of 2007, respectively, as compared to the same
corresponding periods in 2006, primarily due to increased unit volume.
Revenue in the Client Services Segment, which represents fees from the
processing of donors for clients, declined 21% and 12% for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods
in 2006, principally as a result of a decline in the number of donors
processed for the Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation. A decrease in
units sold in our Spinal Allografts Segment resulted in declines in revenue
of 10% and 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively, as compared to the same respective periods in 2006.
