RadNet revises full-year 2024 guidance levels to increase Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA (1) and Free Cash Flow (2) ranges
LOS ANGELES, California, May 8, 2024 -
RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient
diagnostic imaging services through a network of 375 owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results
for its first quarter of 2024.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "Despite experiencing some adverse impact from severe winter weather conditions during the first quarter,
both the Imaging Center and newly established Digital Health reportable operating segments demonstrated strong growth and achieved first
quarter record results. Total Company Revenue grew 10.5% as compared with last year's first quarter to a record $431.7 million.
The Digital Health segment Revenue of $14.7 million increased 32.3% from last year's same quarter. The strong growth in Digital
Health was, in part, driven by our AI businesses, whose Revenue increased 118% as compared with last year's first quarter, mainly
on the continuing success of the rollout of our Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) DeepHealth AI-powered screening mammography program."
"Improved reimbursement from commercial
and capitated payors, ongoing efforts toward greater operating efficiency and effective cost controls resulted in an increase to Adjusted
EBITDA(1) margins by 120 basis points over last year's first quarter. We believe there is further room for improvement,
especially as we continue to disproportionally grow the higher margin Digital Health businesses and lean into both clinical and generative
AI," added Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger continued, "At the end of the
first quarter, we announced a new joint venture in the northern and eastern parts of the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles with Providence
Health System. As of quarter end, we had 137 of our 375 centers (or 36.5%) held in partnership with leading health systems. These partnerships
allow us to play a more integral role within the local healthcare communities we serve by increasing access, disseminating new technologies
and improving the quality of patient care."
"Given the positive trends we are experiencing
in virtually all aspects of our business and the strong financial performance of the first quarter, we are revising upwards certain guidance
levels in anticipation of financial results that we believe will exceed our original expectations. Most significantly, we have increased
2024 guidance ranges for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Free Cash Flow(2)," added Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger continued, "We believe strong
growth is sustainable as we continue to execute on various initiatives. In response to high demand and patient backlogs in many of RadNet's
local markets, we embarked over a year ago on a program to expand capacity through the development and construction of new imaging centers.
We anticipate opening approximately a dozen new centers by year end 2024, and are working with prospective and existing health system
partners to expand joint venture offerings. Digital Health initiatives continue to expand, including the further rollout of the EBCD program
along with other clinical AI for lung and prostate cancers. Development of our DeepHealth OS technology platform is driving toward implementation
within RadNet beginning in the third quarter of this year and within external customers as early as the first quarter of 2025. This DeepHeatlh
OS will integrate new generative AI capabilities to help us and external customers automate and drive efficiencies for many of the back-office
and support functions involved with running imaging centers."
"RadNet's balance sheet continues
to strengthen. In March, we completed an offering of common stock, where we raised net proceeds of approximately $219 million, which contributed
to the $527 million cash balance at quarter end. Additionally, subsequent to the quarter's end, we completed a successful debt refinancing
transaction, resulting in a reduction of our interest rates, an extension of maturities and the funding of additional cash to the balance
sheet of approximately $168 million. At quarter end, our leverage ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) was at a record low,
slightly above 1.0x," concluded Dr. Berger.
For the first quarter of 2024, RadNet reported
Total Company Revenue of $431.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $58.5 million. Revenue increased $41.1 million (or 10.5%)
