RadNet Reports Record Third
Quarter Financial Results and Adjusts Upwards 2014 Guidance Ranges for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1)
California, November 6, 2014 - RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing
high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 263 owned and/or operated
outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2014.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "We are very pleased with our performance in the third quarter. We reported record
quarterly Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Income, all of which were substantial increases from last year's
third quarter. Benefits from our $30 million annualized cost savings program along with meaningful improvements in aggregate and
same center procedural volumes drove this financial performance."
Dr. Berger continued, "We continue
to experience strong volumes from new patients enrolled in state and privately managed healthcare exchanges as part of the Affordable
Care Act. Additionally, contribution from the small tuck-in acquisitions we recently completed and new capitation contracts we
have begun servicing are also partially driving our improving top line performance. On the expense side, we incurred some additional
costs during the quarter from the ramp-up of several newly acquired facilities, increased staffing and training of call center
and front office personnel at certain California locations addressing greater patient volumes and from the continued implementation
of our eRAD information technology solutions to several of RadNet's regional operations. These additional costs were partially
mitigated by our continued execution on $10 million of annualized additional cost savings we identified and announced several
"In addition to the growth we are
driving in our core imaging center business, we are continuing to pursue other avenues of expansion in newer initiatives such
as the sale and licensing of our eRAD suite of information technology solutions, the provision of inpatient and outsourced professional
radiology and management services and the establishment of joint ventures with hospitals and health systems. The traction we are
experiencing with these newer lines of business gives me confidence that these initiatives will become more significant drivers
of growth and future business opportunities," added Dr. Berger.

2014 Guidance Update
RadNet updates the previously announced 2014 fiscal year guidance
Original 2014 Guidance Revised Guidance After 3 rd Quarter 2014
Revenue (a) $700 - $730mm $730-$745mm
Adjusted EBITDA (1) $110 - $120mm $123-$128mm
Capital Expenditures (b) $40 - $45mm $50 - $52mm
Cash Interest Expense $38 - $42mm $40 - 42mm
Free Cash Flow Generation (c)(2) $30 - $40mm $30 - $36mm
Dr. Berger highlighted, "Based upon
the strong third quarter results along with continuing confidence we have about the remainder of 2014, we have increased our Revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance levels for 2014 from the original guidance levels set at the beginning of the year
as well as from the increased levels we set after each of the first and second quarters. 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. In response to this, we increased our capital spending to provide additional capacity and access, and to
accommodate further expected patients from the Affordable Care Act open enrollment, which begins on November 15th.
It was recently estimated by the Los Angeles Times that in California, within its Covered California insurance exchange, participation
is expected to increase from the current 1.2 million enrollees to 1.7 million enrollees after open enrollment."
