ACTON, Mass., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Psychemedics
Corporation (NASDAQ: PMD) today announced third quarter financial results for the period ended September

to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2016 to be paid on November

The Company's revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased 67% to $11.8 million, from $7.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016
increased 240% to $2.7 million or $0.49 per diluted share, from
$796 thousand or $0.15 per diluted share for the comparable period
last year. The Company's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased 35% to
$28.2 million, from $20.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015. Net income for the nine months ended September 30,
2016 increased 226% to $4.3 million or $0.79 per diluted
share, from $1.3 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the
comparable period last year.
Raymond C. Kubacki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"For the second quarter in a row, we had record sales and earnings for any quarter in the
Company's history. The growth has been driven by our international business, specifically professional driver testing in
Brazil.
"We have noted since 2013 a significant opportunity in Brazil,
and are very pleased to see the results of our efforts and the efforts of our exclusive independent Brazilian distributor,
Psychemedics Brasil. This opportunity is to compete for the testing of drugs of abuse required for professional drivers in
Brazil.
"In the second quarter of this year, we noted that testing for drugs of abuse for professional
drivers in Brazil had begun. We also noted that some of the Brazilian states had required
additional time to implement the law. In this quarter, we had virtually all of the states begin testing and this had a very
positive impact on the revenue and earnings for the quarter.
"In addition, this mandated program is showing significantly positive results for Brazil.
The Technology Institute for Road Safety did a study, in parallel with the Federal Highway Police, that found from March to July
the number of accidents involving trucks on federal roads in the country decreased by 38%, from 18,000 to 11,000, compared to the
same period last year.
"While we are pleased that this large market is now underway and has good momentum and results,
we are also mindful of the uncertainties that can accompany any new market as it develops.
"Also during the quarter, we were honored to be recognized for our world-class performance in
customer service through a certification as a Center of Excellence by BenchmarkPortal. This is one of the most prestigious
awards in the customer service and support industry. Customer service is always important and we constantly strive to be
responsive to our clients needs. We value our clients and this award gets to the heart of why we are in business: to help our
clients succeed in their business.
"The Company's balance sheet remains strong with approximately $4.1
million in cash and $6.7 million of working capital. The total equipment financing
outstanding was $5.2 million as of September 30, 2016, compared to a
total original amount borrowed of $8.7 million. Our directors share our confidence in the
future of Psychemedics and remain committed to rewarding shareholders and sharing the financial success of the Company with them
as we grow. Therefore, we are pleased to declare a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per
share."
Psychemedics Corporation is the world's largest provider of hair testing for the detection of drugs of abuse. The Company's
patented process is used by thousands of U.S. and international clients, including over 10% of the Fortune 500 companies, for
pre-employment and random drug testing. Major police departments, Federal Reserve Banks, schools, and other public entities also
rely on our unique patented drug testing process. We strongly believe our drug testing method to be superior to any other product
currently in use, including traditional urine testing and other hair testing methods.
