RadNet Reports First Quarter Financial Results with Record Revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA(1) from Imaging Center Operations and Revises Upwards 2022 Financial Guidance Ranges
LOS ANGELES, California, May 9, 2022 -
RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging
services through a network of 351 owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its first quarter
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "Despite being impacted in January by the Omicron variant of COVID-19, we produced the highest first
quarter Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) from our imaging center operations in our Company's history. Revenue increased
8.2% and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 4.1% from last year's first quarter, after excluding the AI reporting segment and
adjusting for CARES Act Provider Relief Funds received in last year's first quarter."
"Given the positive trends we are experiencing
in our business and the strong financial performance of the first quarter, we have elected to revise certain guidance levels upwards in
anticipation of financial results that we project to exceed our original expectations. We have increased 2022 guidance ranges for Revenue
and Adjusted EBITDA(1)," added Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger continued, "In mid-January, we
completed the acquisitions of two AI companies, Aidence Holding B.V. and Quantib B.V. The combination of these two companies with RadNet's
existing DeepHealth, Inc. mammography AI operations formed our new Artificial Intelligence reporting segment. The two acquisitions, along
with DeepHealth, provide RadNet with the developing technology underpinning future offerings for widespread cancer screening programs
for the three most prevalent cancers (breast, lung and prostate). We currently have three AI submissions pending approval with the FDA
for advanced breast, lung and prostate diagnostic algorithms. Their ultimate approval, if obtained, should enable us to offer large-scale,
cost-effective population health programs designed to positively impact the management of three of the most prevalent cancers. Though
we project losses for the next 24 months from the investments we are making in these new technologies, we continue to be more convinced
than ever that AI will have a significant impact on the growth and cost structure of our business in the coming years."
For the first quarter of 2022, RadNet reported
Revenue from its Imaging Center reporting segment of $341.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA(1) Excluding Losses from AI reporting
segment of $41.7 million. Revenue increased $25.8 million (or 8.2%) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) Excluding Losses from the AI reporting

of 2021 and $6.2 million of Provider Relief Funding received in the first quarter of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the first
