IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. Provides Second Quarter 2008 Outlook
Date:6/17/2008

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPCM), a leading national hospitalist physician group practice, today announced that it continues to experience favorable trends in patient encounters and expects second quarter 2008 net revenues to be in the range of $57 million to $59 million and operating income to be in the range of $4.2 million to $4.6 million. Absent the impact of acquisitions, the Company typically experiences a pattern of seasonality with net revenue and practice contribution in the first and fourth quarters of the year higher than those in the second and third quarters. The Company expects this pattern to continue and believes it is primarily due to the following factors:

-- the number of physicians the Company has on staff during the quarter, which may fluctuate based upon the timing of hires caused by the end of the academic year for graduating resident physicians and the schedule of the Internal Medicine Board exams and terminations in our existing practices; and

-- fluctuations in patient encounters which are impacted by hospital census and physician productivity and often reflect seasonality due to the higher occurrence of such illnesses as flu and pneumonia in patient populations in the first quarter.

As previously disclosed, the Company continues to invest in its infrastructure and expects to incur approximately $0.5 million to $0.6 million in incremental recurring quarterly expenses over first quarter 2008, excluding the $0.3 million related to a non-recurring IPO management bonus. In general, the incremental expense comprises continued physician leadership functions, ongoing investment in billing functions and increased stock compens
