This provides us tremendous confidence and momentum as we enter the next phase of our strategy. Additionally, our strong cash flow performance allowed us to make $30 million in early debt payments during the third quarter and another $10 million in October October: see month. ."

Schlotterbeck continued, "The positive impact of our recent recapitalization is clearly seen in our third quarter results. Interest expense as a percent of sales had dropped from 13% a year ago to 5% currently. Our plans are to continue to reduce our debt while growing the Company to further improve this ratio."

Third Quarter 2003 Results

Sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, sales were $130.5 million, an increase of $17.4 million, or 15%, over the same period in the prior year. If currency exchange rates for the third quarter of 2003 had prevailed during the third quarter of 2002, sales would have been $117.3 million for the third quarter of 2002. Thus, excluding the effects of currency changes, the increase in sales for the third quarter of 2003 was $13.2 million, or 11%, over the third quarter of 2002.

The increase in sales of drug infusion products in North America was partially offset by lower volumes of patient monitoring instruments and associated disposables compared with the prior year.

International sales for the third quarter of 2003 increased $5.1 million, or 15%, compared with the same period in the prior year. Excluding the effects of currency changes, International sales for the third quarter of 2003 increased 3% over the third quarter of 2002, in line with Company expectations. This increase was due to higher volumes of, and revenues from, dedicated disposable administration sets, SmartSite(R) Needle-Free Systems and service.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $12.9 million, or 22%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same quarter in the prior year. The gross margin percentage increased to 54.0% for the third quarter of 2003, from 50.9% for the third quarter of 2002. Excluding the effects of currency changes, gross profit for the third quarter of 2003 would have increased $10.3 million from the third quarter of 2002 and the gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2002 would have been 51.3%.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.8 million, or 12%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same period in 2002, primarily due to increased selling costs associated with higher sales volume in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the third quarter of 2002 and to higher sales and marketing costs related to increased personnel, consulting and related activities supporting the continued deployment Installing, setting up, testing and running. This military term, which means the placement of troops and equipment in the field, is widely used with computers as an alternate to the word "implementation.  of our medication safety strategy. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 19.4% for the third quarter of 2003 from 19.9% for the third quarter of 2002. Excluding the effects of currency changes, the increase in selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2003 would have been $2.0 million, or 8%, compared with the third quarter of 2002.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 18%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.1% for the third quarter of 2003, from 8.9% for the third quarter of 2002. Increases in administrative expenses were largely due to higher depreciation, legal and other professional services, and bonus expense over the same period in the prior year. Excluding the effects of currency changes, the increase in general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2003 would have been $1.5 million, or 15%, compared with the third quarter of 2002.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased approximately $1.6 million, or 19%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to spending associated with new product development primarily related to our medication safety strategy, including increased spending on new products for the international market. This higher spending was primarily in the form of increased salaries and benefits and outside consulting. Research and development expenses increased to 7.4% of sales for the third quarter of 2003, compared with 7.1% of sales for the third quarter of 2002.

Interest Income from Sales-Type Capital Leases. Interest income from sales-type capital leases decreased $.3 million, or 28%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same quarter in 2002, due to a decrease in the contract portfolio as more customers have utilized third-party financing.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $8.0 million, or 55%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with the same period in the prior year. Included in interest expense in the third quarter of 2003 is $.7 million of debt-issue cost write-offs related to $30 million in prepayments Prepayments

 made under the Credit Facility. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the reduction in the principal amount of outstanding debt and lower interest rates on debt under the Credit Facility and the Notes compared with the interest rates on the debt which was refinanced in the second quarter recapitalization.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2003, we are forecasting sales growth of 13% to 14% over the $134.4 million (which was 20% over the fourth quarter of 2001) reported for the same quarter last year. In constant currency the sales growth is forecasted at 9% to 10%. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter are forecasted to be approximately $.17 to $.19. We have historically experienced seasonality in our sales, with fourth quarter sales being greater than earlier quarters. This is primarily due to seasonal characteristics of the industry, including hospital capital equipment purchasing patterns. We are forecasting that the fourth quarter of 2003 will continue to experience similar seasonality.

For full year 2003, we are forecasting sales growth of approximately 15% to 16% (10% to 11% in constant currency) over 2002. Income from operations is currently forecasted to be 30% to 33% higher than the $71.7 million reported for full year 2002. Due to the large loss from the recapitalization activities during the second quarter, we are currently forecasting a net loss for the year, with a net loss per share of approximately $.13 to $.15. Excluding recapitalization expenses, full year 2003 earnings per share are forecasted to be $.45 to $.47. The earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was a $.35 loss. After excluding the recapitalization expenses, earnings per share would have been $.28 for such period. Adding the fourth quarter 2003 earnings per share guidance contained herein to the $.35 actual loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 will not equal the full year loss per share guidance. This is a result of a GAAP requirement to exclude common stock equivalents (such as stock options) from the weighted average shares during loss periods but to include such common stock equivalents during income periods. Since we are forecasting a net loss for full year 2003, common stock equivalents have not been included in computing computing - computer  the forecasted loss per share.

Looking beyond 2003, we continue to target sales growth of 10%-13% per year in constant currency over the next five years. We have not completed our 2004 business plan but we currently anticipate constant currency sales growth of 11%-12% for 2004. Our objective is to grow operating income Operating Income

Notes:
This would not include income from things such as investments in other firms. Also referred to as operating profit or recurring profit.
 faster than sales and net income faster than operating income. We plan to continue to reduce our leverage, with a target of about $300 million of debt outstanding at year-end 2005.

                     ALARIS MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
                         SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE
     RECONCILING GAAP DATA TO PRO FORMA NON-GAAP DATA (Unaudited)
    (Dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)

    The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our reported
net loss and net loss per common share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 to our net income and net income per share on a pro
forma basis as if the recapitalization had occurred on January 1,
2003, which pro forma amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. The pro
forma data exclude the effect of the pre-tax charges of $67.7 million
we recorded in the first half of 2003.
    The pro forma data assume that the following transactions occurred
on January 1, 2003: (i) the sale of 10 million shares of common stock;
(ii) the sale of $175 million aggregate principal amount of ALARIS
Medical Systems' new 7-1/4% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the
"Notes"); (iii) borrowings of a $245 million term loan under our new
$275 million credit facility at an annual interest rate of 4.05%; (iv)
the repurchase of all of our outstanding indebtedness pursuant to
tender offers; and (v) other debt repurchases made in the first half
of 2003.
    The pro forma data is being presented to give management and
investors an enhanced understanding of the effect of the
recapitalization on our operating results. Management believes that
the significant reduction in future interest expense resulting from
the recapitalization is material to an understanding of our business
and will have a significant impact on cash flow and earnings. We have
excluded the effect of the recapitalization expenses from the pro
forma data because such expenses will not have a continuing impact on
the Company. The pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that would have been achieved had the
transactions reflected therein been consummated prior to the period
presented.
