FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

VIRTUALSCOPICS, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS 2014
FINANCIAL RESULTS; THIRD QUARTER AWARDS OUTSTANDING AND
BOOKINGS UP 29%, QUARTERLY REVENUES UP 23% FROM THE PRIOR YEAR

 

ROCHESTER, N.Y., November 13, 2014—VirtualScopics, Inc. (NASDAQ:VSCP), a leading provider of clinical trial imaging solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Awards outstanding and bookings as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 29% to $23.8 million, as compared to $18.4 million for the same period in 2013. Awards outstanding and bookings as of and for the year to date period ended today, November 13, 2014 are approximately $25.5 million, 124% of the $20.5 million as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were $2,741,241, an increase of 23%, as compared to $2,227,877 during the third quarter of 2013. Revenues for the first nine months of 2014 were $7,742,974 compared to $8,467,141 for the first nine months of 2013. The results from the prior year nine month period include a six week, one-time Phase III breast cancer study during the second quarter of 2013 that generated over $1 million in revenue. Excluding this six week study from 2013 revenues, VirtualScopics’ 2014 revenues for the first nine months would have increased over the prior year period by approximately $276,000, or 4%. The company’s book-to-bill ratio for the first nine months of 2014 was 2.54 compared to 1.29 in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting a 97% increase.

 

“We are very pleased with these positive year over year comparisons, as well as the strength of our awards outstanding and bookings that are indicative of future revenues for the company,” said Eric T. Converse, president and chief executive officer. “We believe that the increase in our book-to-bill ratio is the result of the focused and disciplined approach that the entire VirtualScopics team has demonstrated this year, which is gratifying for all of us. It is also important to note that revenues since the beginning of 2014 have increased quarter over quarter, a trend that we believe will continue for the rest of the year and into 2015.”

 

VirtualScopics reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2014 of $997,523 compared to a net loss of $793,322 in the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, the company reported a net loss of $2,459,427 compared to a net loss of $1,855,983 in the prior year period. The increase in net loss for the 2014 periods is primarily related to VirtualScopics’ increased investments in infrastructure, sales and marketing, systems, training and human capital.
