CorVel Announces Quarterly and Fiscal Year Revenues and Earnings

IRVINE, California, June 1, 2006 - CorVel Corporation (NASDAQ: CRVL) reported unaudited earnings per share of $0.33 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, up from $0.24 in the same quarter of the prior year. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 earnings were $1.01 compared to fiscal 2005 earnings of $ 0.97.

The Company reported quarterly revenues of $66.6 million, down from prior year quarterly revenues of $72.8. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, revenues were $267 million, representing an 8.4% decrease from the $291 million in revenues achieved in fiscal 2005. Improving margins permitted an increase in earnings despite a decline in revenues influenced by the low national volume of workers' compensation claims.

In the quarter the Company continued to experience improving revenues in its preferred provider organizations and specialty review services. Strong savings for customers have been contributing to increasing revenues for these services. CorVel continues to experience improving productivity following the recent years' investments in document management, automated workflow and improvements to the automated routing of work to centers of excellence. The gains continued throughout the quarter, reaching their highest levels in late March.

Cash balances increased in the quarter, as a result of reduced stock repurchases and improving management of accounts receivable, fixed asset additions and operating costs. Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company added key new sales and operations executives as a part of plans to expand its directed care networks and technology services for major payors.
