U.S & International

U.S.

. In 2003 US accounted for 75% of revenue

. In the U.S., acute and extended care settings accounted for more than half of domestic revenue

. KCI estimates it has penetration into 15% to 20% of the US market based on revenue

International

. International market not as developed as the US market

. Recently, the German and Austrian associations for wound treatment recognized V.A.C.

therapy as the therapy of choice for several wound care indications

Customers

. In the U.S. KCI has relationships with over 3,000 acute care hospitals, over 4,100 extended care

facilities and approximately 4,100 home health care agencies and wound care clinics.

. During 2002, KCI served 2,100 medium to large hospitals in the United States.

. Through its network of 135 U.S. and 82 international service centers, KCI delivers products to

major hospitals in the United States, Canada, Australia and most major European countries.

Growth plan

. Since the fourth quarter of 2000, KCI's growth has been driven primarily by increased revenue

from V.A.C. system rentals and sales

. Which accounted for 63.1% of total revenue in 2003, up from 54.0% in 2002.

. KCI expects V.A.C. growth and the percentage of total revenue from V.A.C. rentals and sales to

continue to increase, as it has in each of the last three years.

Homecare

. The home care market accounted for 43.9% of V.A.C. business and 27.7% of total revenue for 2003

. V.A.C. revenue from the home care setting grew 49.8% in 2003 compared to 2002.

. KCI continues to enhance contractual relationships with insurance companies, which have

already increased covered lives under contract from fewer than 20 million in mid-2000 to over

148 million today.

. V.A.C. systems used in the home are reimbursed by government insurance (Medicare and

Medicaid), private insurance and managed care organization payers.

Worldwide

. For 2003, worldwide V.A.C. revenue from the combined acute and extended care settings grew

56.9% and V.A.C.. Only a small portion of international V.A.C. revenue comes from home care.

. If KCI is able to gain home care reimbursement for V.A.C. therapy with third party payers in Europe

and other international locations, KCI believes revenue from the home care market will increase.
