MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Health Fitness
Corporation (NYSE Amex: FIT), a leading provider of integrated
employee health and productivity management solutions, today
announced financial results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2009. The company reported revenue of $19.8 million in the
third quarter of 2009, a 6.9 percent increase compared to third
quarter 2008 revenue of $18.5 million. Gross profit for the quarter
increased 7.6 percent to $6.4 million compared to $6.0 million in
the third quarter of 2008. Gross margin for the quarter was 32.6
percent compared to 32.4 percent in last year's third quarter. The
company reported net earnings of $0.91 million, or $0.09 per
diluted share, compared to $0.84 million, or $0.09 per diluted
share for the third quarter of 2008. Four new health management
commitments were generated during the quarter, resulting in
potential annualized revenue of $3.3 million, compared to $1.2
million of potential annualized revenue generated in the same
quarter last year, a 175 percent increase. Two new fitness
management commitments were generated during the quarter, resulting
in potential annualized revenue of $1.9 million, compared to $0.5
million of potential annualized revenue generated in the same
quarter last year, a 280 percent increase. Health and fitness
management annualized revenue loss from contract cancellations
during the quarter totaled $0.2 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, versus $0.3 million and $0.8 million in last year's
third quarter. Total potential annualized revenue generated during
the third quarter of 2009, net of contract cancellations, was $4.8
million, up 700 percent compared to $0.6 million in the comparable
quarter of 2008. Gregg Lehman, Ph.D., president and chief executive
officer, said, "We are pleased with 6.9 percent quarterly revenue
growth in light of a tough economy. The $4.8 million of net
potential annualized revenue generated during the quarter surpasses
the $3.1 million of net potential annualized revenue we produced
during the second quarter of 2009, and represents our best quarter
for new potential annualized revenue since the second quarter of
2006. Highlights from the third quarter include a health management
commitment from a large insurance plan for $3.0 million of
potential annualized revenue, which will begin service
implementation in July 2010. We also received a fitness management
commitment from an auto manufacturer, representing $1.6 million of
potential annualized revenue, which will begin service
implementation in January 2010." "Going into the fourth quarter and
2010, we are optimistic about the potential for continued revenue
growth. We are currently a finalist in one fitness management
proposal and 12 health management proposals, representing potential
annualized revenue of $10.7 million. As stated previously, our
future revenue growth will continue to be driven by our ability to
help self-insured employers reduce the cost of employee healthcare.
In addition to the University of Louisville ROI study we published
earlier this year, we are currently completing several new ROI
analyses that initially show returns ranging from $2.25 to $3.62
for every $1.00 invested. We are excited about these initial
results because they affirm the proposition that health improvement
services can reduce the impact of health care costs. We will
disclose more details about these successful outcomes in future
issue briefs and other communications" 2009 Third Quarter Business

During the third quarter, health management segment revenue grew
22.9 percent to $10.1 million compared to $8.2 million in the third
quarter of 2008. Within the segment, staffing services revenue
increased 3.9 percent and program services revenue grew 46.8

down from 41.8 percent for the prior-year period. Within the
segment, gross margin for program services decreased to 52.9
percent, from 59.1 percent for the prior-year period. This decrease
is primarily attributed to the mix of program services delivered,
the addition of telephonic health coaches during the quarter, and
higher costs for our eHealth platform. Gross margin for staffing
services decreased to 26.1 percent for the quarter, compared to
28.1 percent for the prior-year period, which is attributed to
higher wages and benefits for on-site staff. Fitness Management (in

period. Net earnings per diluted share totaled $0.22 compared to

annualized revenue of $8.4 million, compared to $5.1 million
generated in the same period last year, a 65 percent increase.

first nine months, resulting in potential annualized revenue of
$2.8 million, compared to $1.0 million generated in the same period

December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the company had no
balance outstanding on its $3.5 million credit facility, and had

health care costs caused by poor diet and exercise choices."

in this release, including, without limitation, statements relating
to the state of the economy, the potential for continued revenue
growth, the return on investment of the company's programs, the
strong finalist pipeline, and health care reform, are
forward-looking statements. In addition, the estimated annualized
revenue value of new and lost contracts, customer expansions and
outstanding requests for proposal are forward looking statements,
which are based upon estimates of the anticipated annualized
revenue to be realized or lost. Such information should be used
only as an indication of the activity the company has recently
experienced in its two business segments. These estimates, when
considered together, should not be considered an indication of the
total net, incremental revenue growth the company expects to
generate in 2009 or in any year, as actual net growth may differ
from these estimates due to actual staffing levels, participation
rates and service duration, in addition to other revenue the
company may lose in the future due to customer termination. Any
statements that are not based upon historical facts, including the
outcome of events that have not yet occurred and the company's
expectations for future performance, are forward-looking
statements. The words "potential," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend," "may," "could," "will," "plan," "anticipate," and similar
words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of management. Actual results may vary materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements based on a number of
factors including, without limitation, the company's inability to
deliver the health management services demanded by major
corporations and other clients, its inability to successfully
cross-sell health management services to its fitness management
clients, its inability to successfully obtain new business
opportunities, its failure to have sufficient resources to make
investments, its ability to make investments and implement
strategies successfully, continued delays in obtaining new
commitments and implementing services, the continued deterioration
of general economic conditions, contract cancellations,
governmental action on health care reform, and other factors
disclosed from time to time in the company's filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission including our Form 10-K for 2008
as filed with the SEC. You should take such factors into account
when making investment decisions and are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
