RadNet Reports First Quarter Financial Results and Reaffirms
2017 Guidance Ranges
LOS ANGELES, California, May 10, 2017
- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective,
fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 303 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers,
today reported financial results for its first quarter of 2017.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "I'm very pleased with the improvement of our base imaging center business
in this first quarter as compared with last year's first quarter, particularly when adjusting for year-over-year changes
in two items that more favorably benefited last year's first quarter. In the first quarter of last year, we recognized $2.8
million of Other Income from Meaningful Use incentives as a result of our adoption of eRAD software and $825,000 of Revenue from
our management contract in the sovereign nation of Qatar. In this year's first quarter, we recognized only $600,000, combined,
for these two sources. Adjusting both quarters by removing contributions from Meaningful Use and Qatar activities, Revenue from
core operations increased 6.1% in this year's first quarter and EBITDA increased 19.5%."
"The performance of our imaging business
is benefiting from a number of factors. First, our investment in new technologies is beginning to pay dividends, especially 3D
digital mammography - which is now being reimbursed by many of the large national payors in addition to Medicare. Second,
our performance benefited from successful pricing negotiations with private payors in several of our regions and with a number
of our capitated medical groups. Third, we continue to effectively control and reduce expenses. Lastly, we are experiencing continuing
improvement in our New York City marketplace from the integration of our acquisitions of New York Radiology Partners and Diagnostic
Imaging Group," added Dr. Berger.
For the first quarter of 2017, RadNet reported
Revenue of $229.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $28.7 million and Net Loss of $1.2 million. Revenue increased $12.6
million (or 5.8%), Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $1.6 million (or 5.8%) and Net Loss decreased $187,000, over the first
quarter of 2016. Per share Net Loss for the first quarter was $(0.03), compared to the same in the first
quarter of 2016, based upon a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding of 46.6 million for both periods
Loss in the first quarter of 2017 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $3.3 million of non-cash employee
stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $203,000 of severance paid
in connection with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives; and $814,000 of combined
non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and loan discounts related to financing fees paid as part of our existing credit
For the first quarter of 2017, as compared
to the prior year's first quarter, MRI volume increased 5.1%, CT volume increased 6.0% and PET/CT volume increased 5.7%.
Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased
2.5% over the prior year's first quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet
for both the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, MRI volume increased 3.3%, CT volume increased 4.4% and PET/CT volume increased 5.7%.
Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams,
increased 2.1% over the prior year's same quarter.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on
April 1st, RadNet established two imaging joint ventures with Cedars-Sinai, one of the premier academic medical centers
in the country. The joint venture agreement in Santa Monica consists initially of one multi-modality imaging center (Resolution
Imaging), which was contributed to the joint venture by RadNet. Under the terms of the joint venture in the San Fernando Valley,
Cedars-Sinai has purchased an interest in four imaging centers previously owned by RadNet. RadNet will continue to manage the operations
of the imaging centers of both joint ventures on a day-to-day basis.
Additionally, subsequent to quarter end,
on April 1st, RadNet sold the assets of its five locations in Rhode Island comprising The Imaging Institute to a strategic
buyer for $5.0 million. The five centers were originally part of RadNet's acquisition completed in November 2011 of the United
States operations of CML Healthcare. The divestiture is consistent with RadNet's core operating strategy of being the leading
outpatient imaging provider in all the geographies in which it operates. It was concluded that these Rhode Island assets were better
suited under the ownership of another local operator who seeks to aggressively expand its presence in that marketplace.
2017 Guidance Update
RadNet reaffirms its previously announced
2017 guidance ranges as follows:
Total Net Revenue $895 million - $925 million
Adjusted EBITDA (1) $135 million - $145 million
Capital Expenditures (a) $55 million - $60 million
Cash Interest Expense $35 million - $40 million
Free Cash Flow Generation (b) $40 million - $50 million
Dr. Berger highlighted, "We remain
confident about our previously announced guidance levels. When we set our guidance levels upon the release of our fourth quarter
2016 earnings, we incorporated normal seasonality that we experience in our business. This seasonality considers the typical front-loading
of our capital spending in the first half of the year and lower first quarter Revenue and profitability from weaker utilization
of services as a result of winter weather on the east coast and from patients in high deductible programs seeking to avoid or delay
services. Comparing the first quarter results with our internal projections, we are on track to meet our objectives for the year."
