Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. Announces Earnings for 1Q 2011

DENVER, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: BDMS), operators of PERFECT TEETH®dental practices and Vantage Dental Implant Center, announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, revenue increased $628,000, or 3.8%, to $17.1 million. The Company's earnings before, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash expense associated with stock-based compensation and discontinued operations ("Adjusted EBITDA") decreased $557,000, or 28.2%, to $1.4 million. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased $148,000, or 27.7%, to $386,000 compared to $534,000 for the same period of 2010. Earnings per share decreased 28.3%, to $0.20 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.28 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

The increase in revenue of $628,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to $393,000 in additional revenue related to two de novo offices opened in the first and fourth quarters of 2010 and an increase in same store revenue (based on 62 offices open during each full quarter) of $236,000.

While the Company's Perfect Teeth dental offices generated strong financial results in the first quarter of 2011, the performance of Vantage Dental Implant Center negatively affected the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and earnings. The Company anticipates this to continue into 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company had capital expenditures of $720,000, purchased 2,500 shares of its Common Stock for approximately $48,000 and paid out approximately $370,000 in dividends to its shareholders while decreasing total bank debt outstanding by approximately $377,000.

Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. acquires, develops, and manages geographically dense dental practice networks in select markets in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The Company currently manages 64 dental offices, of which 38 were acquired and 26 were de novo developments. The Company currently has 117 dentists. The Company operates its dental offices under the PERFECT TEETH® name. Birner Dental also operates one Vantage Dental Implant Center in Colorado.

The Company previously announced it would conduct a conference call to review results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 on Monday, May 16, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. MT. In addition to current operating results, the teleconference may include discussion of management's expectations of future financial and operating results. To participate in this conference call, dial in to 1-888-299-7209 and refer to Confirmation Code 1172193 approximately five minutes prior to the scheduled time.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure of performance or liquidity. However, the Company believes that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be made by adding discontinued operations before income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense - Offices, depreciation and amortization expense – Corporate, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net and income tax expense to net income as in the table below.
