2012 Full-Year Guidance
LOS ANGELES, California, August 9, 2012
- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective,
fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 237 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers (inclusive
of 21 facilities held in Joint Ventures), today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2012.
Second Quarter Financial Results
For the second quarter of 2012, RadNet
reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income Attributable to RadNet, Inc. Common Stockholders ("Net Income")
of $171.7 million, $31.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Revenue increased $18.4 million (or 12.0%), Adjusted
EBITDA(1) increased $0.9 million (or 2.8%) and Net Income decreased $575 thousand, respectively, over the second quarter
of 2011. Net Income for the second quarter was $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a Net Income of
$0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011 (based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 39.4
million and 39.8 million for these periods in 2012 and 2011, respectively). Excluding a $1.7 million gain (or $0.04 per share)
from property and casualty insurance settlement proceeds in the second quarter of 2011 from the disposal
of imaging center assets in California, Net Income increased from $0.05 per share to $0.07 per share in the second quarter of 2012.
On a sequential basis, comparing the second quarter's performance in 2012 with the first quarter
of 2012, Revenue increased $3.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $2.3 million
and Net Income increased $3.1.
results in the second quarter of 2012 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $531,000 of non-cash employee
stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and warrants; $163,000 of severance paid in connection
with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives from previously announced acquisitions; $276,000 loss on the disposal
of certain capital equipment; $771,000 of non-cash Deferred Financing Expense related to the amortization
of financing fees paid as part of our existing credit facilities; and $1.2 million fair value gain from our interest rate swaps,
net of the amortization of an Accumulated Comprehensive Loss existing prior to April 6, 2010.
For the second quarter of 2012, as compared
to the prior year's second quarter, MRI volume increased 18.8%, CT volume increased 19.6% and PET/CT volume increased 10.3%.
Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased
14.5% 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 2012 and 2011, MRI volume increased 2.3%, CT volume increased 3.2% and PET/CT volume decreased
5.1%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other
exams, increased 0.8% over the prior year's same quarter.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RadNet, commented "We are pleased with our second quarter results. While we achieved modest same center
volume growth of 0.8% as compared to last year's second quarter, our performance remains extraordinary in a healthcare environment
that is challenged with decreased physician office visits and efforts to lower the utilization of imaging services. Furthermore,
on a sequential basis, comparing our second quarter 2012 results with those of our first quarter, our Revenue, EBITDA and Net Income
showed marked improvement. We are pleased with our marketing and contracting efforts designed to increase market share and our
continuing focus on providing high quality service to our patients and referring physician communities. Because of our geographic
concentration, ability to capitate with payors and our multimodality capabilities, we continue to believe we are well positioned
for the post-reform, dynamically changing landscape of healthcare."
Dr. Berger continued, "In addition
to driving growth in aggregate Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) this quarter, our focus on profitability, cost containment
and maintaining operating margins has resulted in almost $3 million of Net Income for the second quarter. We continue to believe
that the strength of our operating model and our growing scale will allow us to significantly increase profitability into the future."
"We are optimistic about our future
performance, in part, because we are in process with or have completed several recent initiatives whose benefits have yet to be
fully reflected in our financial results. First, we continue to successfully integrate the recently acquired assets from CML Healthcare
in Maryland and Rhode Island. We are on track to complete this integration by the end of 2012, and expect to benefit from additional
financial contribution from these acquired operations. Likewise, we completed the acquisition of West Coast Radiology at the beginning
of the second quarter, and will benefit from certain future consolidation opportunities in our Orange County region. Second, we
recently commenced the operations of our new joint venture with Barnabas Health in New Jersey. We anticipate recognizing the financial
contribution from management services we will be providing to our collective New Jersey assets and from our recently announced
joint venture imaging center under construction. Lastly, we anticipate completing the integration of voice recognition transcription
capabilities by year-end which will provide us significant cost savings and operational efficiencies beginning 2013," added
Six Month Financial Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2012,
RadNet reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income of $340.2 million, $60.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
Revenue increased $42.8 million (or 14.4%), Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $4.3 million (or 7.6%) and Net Income
increased $190,000, respectively, over the first six months of 2011. Net Income for the six month period
ended June 30, 2012 was $0.07 per diluted share, compared to Net Income of $0.07 per diluted share in corresponding six month period
of 2011 (based upon a weighted average number of fully diluted shares outstanding of 39.2 million and 39.4 million for these periods
in 2012 and 2011, respectively). Excluding a $2.2 million gain (or $0.05 per share) primarily resulting from property
and casualty insurance settlement proceeds in the first half of 2011 from the disposal of imaging center assets in California,
Net Income increased from $0.02 per share to $0.07 per share in the six months of 2012.
results in the first six months of 2012 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $1.7 million of non-cash
employee stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and warrants; $612,000 of severance paid
in connection with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives from previously announced acquisitions; $300,000 loss
on the disposal of certain capital equipment; $1.5 million of non-cash Deferred Financing Expense related
to the amortization of financing fees paid as part of our existing credit facilities; and $2.2 million fair value gain from our
interest rate swaps, net of the amortization of an Accumulated Comprehensive Loss existing prior to April 6, 2010.
