RadNet Reports Record Second Quarter Financial Results and Adjusts
Upwards 2014 Guidance Ranges for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1)
California, August 8, 2014 - RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective,
fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 251 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today
reported financial results for its second quarter of 2014.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter. We reported record Adjusted
EBITDA(1) and pre-tax earnings and increased aggregate and same store volume from last year's second quarter.
Our sequential growth in Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income was even more pronounced when compared with the
first quarter of 2014. Helping us mitigate the $22 million full-year 2014 Medicare negative impact has been our execution of a
$30 million cost savings plan we began implementing in the fourth quarter of last year. Although this cost savings plan is substantially
complete, we continue to execute on an additional $10 million of annualized cost savings we identified and announced several months
ago. We expect to begin benefitting from these additional cost savings in the third and fourth quarters of 2014."
Dr. Berger continued, "Consistent with
our goal to reduce debt, we repaid $12.9 million of net debt during the second quarter, which included retiring the remaining approximately
$6.5 million of our 10 3/8% senior notes during the quarter, the most expensive part of our capital structure. As a result of our
refinancing transaction, we face no near term maturities. Our first lien term loan matures in 2018 and our second lien term loan
matures in 2021. We believe the current capital structure, which has an average debt cost of about 5.5%, provides us the financial
flexibility to comfortably manage and grow our business. Our refinancing transaction completed in March 2014 saves us approximately
$5 million of annual interest expense. This, combined with our projection of reducing capital expenditures to approximately $10
million for the next two quarters, are the reasons why we believe RadNet can generate $30 million or more of free cash flow over
the remainder of the year."
Dr. Berger added, "We continue to experience
strong volumes, which has been partially driven by participation of previously uninsured or underinsured individuals who are now
enrollees of state run or privately managed healthcare exchanges, particularly those in California. We expect the current level
of utilization of imaging services will continue for the remainder of 2014."
Second Quarter Financial Results
For the second quarter of 2014, RadNet reported
Revenue of $179.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $33.4 million and Net Income of $5.1 million, respectively. Revenue
increased $2.6 million (or 1.5%), Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $3.4 million (or 11.3%) and Net Income increased
$2.5 million, respectively, over the second quarter of 2013. Per share Net Income for the second quarter was $0.12, compared to
per share Net Income in the second quarter of 2013 of $0.07 (based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding
of 43.3 million and 39.8 million for these periods in 2014 and 2013, respectively).
Affecting Net Income in the second quarter
of 2014 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $611,000 of non-cash employee stock compensation expense
resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $383,000 of severance paid in connection with headcount reductions
related to cost savings initiatives; $46,000 loss on the sale of certain capital equipment; $1.4 million of combined non-cash amortization
and write-off of Deferred Financing Expense and discount on issuance and refinance of debt related to financing fees paid as part
of our existing credit facilities; and $471,000 loss on the extinguishment of debt related to redeeming in April 2014 the remaining
portion of senior unsecured notes.
For the second quarter of 2014, as compared
to the prior year's second quarter, MRI volume increased 2.6%, CT volume increased 5.7% and PET/CT volume decreased 0.3%.
Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased
6.2% 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 2014 and 2013, MRI volume increased 0.5%, CT volume increased 3.5% and PET/CT volume decreased
7.6%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other
exams, increased 4.0% over the prior year's same quarter.
Six Month Financial Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, RadNet
reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income of $348.0 million, $61.1 million and $3.7 million (excluding the
tax adjusted loss on extinguishment of debt), respectively. Revenue decreased $1.5 million (or negative 0.4%), Adjusted
EBITDA(1) increased $5.5 million (or 9.8%) and Net Income increased $3.4 million (also excluding the tax adjusted loss
on extinguishment of debt and gain on sale of imaging centers), respectively, over the first six months of 2013. Net Income for
the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was $0.09 per diluted share (excluding the tax adjusted loss on extinguishment of debt),
compared to Net Income of $0.03 per diluted share in corresponding six month period of 2013 (based upon a weighted average number
of fully diluted shares outstanding of 42.2 million and 40.0 million for these periods in 2014 and 2013, respectively).
Affecting operating results in the six months
ended June 30, 2014 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $1.6 million of non-cash employee stock compensation
expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $864,000 of severance paid in connection with headcount
reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $292,000 loss on the sale of certain capital equipment; $3.2 million of combined
non-cash amortization and write-off of Deferred Financing Expense and discount on issuance and refinance of debt related to financing
fees paid as part of our existing credit facilities; and $15.9 million loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Company's
March 25, 2014 refinancing of its senior unsecured notes with a new second lien term loan.

Dr. Berger highlighted, "Based upon the
strong second quarter results along with increasing confidence we have about the remaining two quarters of 2014, we have increased
our Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance levels for 2014. We continue to experience strong volumes, particularly
on the West Coast where there has been a disproportionately high participation in the state run and privately managed healthcare
exchanges. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the second quarter in early July, we completed four small tuck-in acquisitions
which should contribute $10-$12 million of annualized revenue. These acquisitions, which include the transaction we previously
announced with Healthcare Partners, required us to deploy only approximately $7 million of capital. Although our focus remains
on repaying our debt, these small tuck-in acquisitions will remain a part of our disciplined and measured growth plan. We also
slightly raised our capital expenditure projection for the year to reflect some additional investment we will be making in California
to build capacity necessary to service the expanded demand we have been experiencing for our services."
