FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

RadNet Reports Second Quarter Financial Results and Reaffirms Previously Announced 2015 Guidance Levels

 

·

·

Sequentially, as compared to the first quarter of 2015, Revenue increased 12.7%, and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 66.1%

·

Earnings Per Share was $0.08 per share in the second quarter of 2015, a sequential increase from $(0.11) from the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease from $0.12 from last year’s second quarter

Investments in California infrastructure made during the fourth quarter of 2014 and throughout 2015 are substantially complete; many of the operating costs associated with these investments should remain fixed as incremental revenue is added in the future.

 

LOS ANGELES, California, August 10, 2015 – RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 276 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2015.

 

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, “We are very pleased with the improvement in our second quarter performance relative to our financial results in the first quarter. All of our operating metrics increased during the quarter, including Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾, Net Income and procedural volumes. Most notably, our operating expense ratio improved significantly, dropping from 92.9% of Revenue in the first quarter of this year to 86.1% in this second quarter.”

 

Dr. Berger continued, “In particular, the investments we made during the end of last year and into this second quarter of this year are beginning to pay dividends. Higher patient volumes necessitated these investments. Our capitation business, which included the implementation of a new contract in this year’s second quarter, has increased over 35% from last year’s second quarter. The investments we made have grown our capacity to service larger patient volumes in many of our California markets.”

 

“This year, we expanded our call centers, pre-authorization teams and patient service coordinators, implemented a variety of information technology systems (like eRAD, time and attendance, payroll and human resources systems) and constructed new facilities. We also purchased facilities in key markets where we had little or no coverage previously. The results of many of these investments improved our service levels and financial results in the second quarter. I expect this improvement to continue. Even though we lowered our operating expense ratio from the first quarter of 2015, we are striving to decrease this ratio to last year’s operating levels. This can be accomplished through growing revenues in existing facilities, leveraging the capacity and investments we have recently made. Historically, once we have built capacity at our sites, future incremental patient volumes result in substantially more Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and profitability.”

 

 

Dr. Berger added, “Aside from the organic growth we are experiencing, I am excited about initiatives we have recently completed with two major health systems. On Friday, we announced an extensive expansion of our existing joint venture with Barnabas Health in New Jersey. As part of the transaction, Barnabas Health and RadNet are selling our respective wholly owned imaging facilities to the joint venture, and we will be pursuing a state-wide growth and consolidation strategy. Pending its merger with Robert Wood Johnson Health System, Barnabas Health will be the leading health system in New Jersey and will have $4.5 billion in annual Revenue. Our transaction with the Barnabas Health joint venture brings $35.5 million of new capital into RadNet and has significant other financial and strategic benefits. In addition, last week, we established a new joint venture with Lifebridge Health, one of the leading hospital systems in the Baltimore, Maryland and surrounding areas. In conjunction with establishing the new joint venture, we sold to Lifebridge a 25% interest in two of our imaging centers for $5 million and the potential for further cash consideration should certain financial targets be met. I believe there are considerable opportunities to grow this new venture and benefit from the reach Lifebridge has in the communities surrounding its medical centers, including opportunities for growth with its owned and affiliated medical groups.”

 

“These partnerships and others to come will be a key part of RadNet’s strategic direction and continue to validate our model of providing regionally concentrated, high quality multi modality imaging services to large patient populations. We believe that we remain an attractive partner to any hospital, health system or Accountable Care Organization seeking a broad array imaging expertise,” finished Dr. Berger.

 

 

Second Quarter Financial Results

 

For the second quarter of 2015, RadNet reported Revenue of $204.3 million, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $33.5 million and Net Income of $3.4 million, respectively. Revenue increased $25.2 million (or 14.1%), Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased $0.1 million (or 0.4%) and Net Income decreased $1.7 million, respectively, over the second quarter of 2014. Per share Net Income for the second quarter was $0.08, compared to per share Net Income in the second quarter of 2014 of $0.12 (based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 44.7 million and 43.3 million for these periods in 2015 and 2014, respectively).

 

Affecting Net Income in the second quarter of 2015 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $2.0 million of non-cash employee stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $94,000 of severance paid in connection with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $74,000 loss on the sale of certain capital equipment; and $1.4 million of non-cash amortization of Deferred Financing Expense and discount on debt issuances.

 

For the second quarter of 2015, as compared with the prior year’s second quarter, MRI volume increased 17.9%, CT volume increased 26.6% and PET/CT volume increased 11.0%. Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 15.5% over the prior year’s second quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet for both the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, MRI volume increased 9.0%, CT volume increased 21.0% and PET/CT volume increased 4.0%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 7.6% over the prior year’s same quarter.

 

 

Six Month Financial Results

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, RadNet reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and Net Loss of $385.6 million, $53.7 million and $(1.2) million, respectively. Revenue increased $37.6 million (or 10.8%), Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ decreased $7.3 million (or 12.0%) and Net Income decreased $4.8 million (excluding the tax adjusted loss on extinguishment of debt in the six month period of 2014), respectively, over the first six months of 2014. Net Loss Per Share for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $(0.03) per diluted share, compared to Net Income of $0.09 per diluted share in corresponding six month period of 2014 (also excluding the tax adjusted loss on extinguishment of debt during the first six months of 2014) based upon a weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding of 43.1 million and 42.2 million for these periods in 2015 and 2014, respectively).

 

Affecting operating results in the six months ended June 30, 2015 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $5.6 million of non-cash employee stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $130,000 of severance paid in connection with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $36,000 loss on the sale of certain capital equipment; and $2.6 million of non-cash amortization of Deferred Financing Expense and discount on debt issuances.

Regulation G: GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This release contains certain financial information not reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure its financial results.

Footnotes

 

⁽¹⁾ The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and adjusted for losses or gains on the sale of equipment, other income or loss, debt extinguishments and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taken place during the period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

 

 

 

⁽²⁾ As noted above, the Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less total Capital Expenditures (whether completed with cash or financed) and Cash Interest paid. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses Free Cash Flow because the Company believes it provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

 

Free Cash Flow should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
