RadNet announces 2023 guidance ranges, anticipating increases in Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA (1) and Free Cash Flow (2) for 2023 over 2022
LOS ANGELES, California, February 28, 2023
- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic
imaging services through a network of 357 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Fourth Quarter Report:
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "I am very pleased with our strong performance in the fourth quarter, which enabled us to exceed our
2022 full-year revised guidance ranges for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1). Contributing to our record Revenue and Adjusted
EBITDA(1) in the quarter was a combination of high procedural demand for our services and improving conditions in our labor
markets. Since September, we have been more successful in filling open positions and staffing our locations, enabling us to better meet
the increasing demand we are experiencing for our services in virtually all markets in which we operate."
"Throughout 2022, we carefully managed our
liquidity and financial leverage. At year-end 2022, we had a cash balance of over $127 million and our net debt leverage ratio remained
under 3.5 times Adjusted EBITDA(1). Our Days Sales Outstanding (DSOs) remained low at 39 days as of December 31, 2022, helping
to contribute to our strong cash flow in the quarter and throughout 2022," Dr. Berger noted.
"Moving into 2023, the demand for diagnostic
imaging remains robust and is growing. Our solid financial position and operating model have presented us with targeted opportunities
to expand our business, particularly through the construction of new centers to meet the growing demand and utilization in strategic markets.
Currently, we have over a dozen centers in various stages of construction and development, and we believe these sites should be positive
contributors to our performance in 2023. As the imaging center market further consolidates, we continue to see opportunities for tuck-in
acquisitions in virtually all of RadNet markets at prices consistent with our historical discipline. Furthermore, throughout 2023, we
expect to expand existing health system joint ventures and partnerships and establish new ones," added Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger concluded, "We are also making
significant strides in commercializing and monetizing our AI investments. Specifically, in November 2022, we began an implementation of
our Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnostic (EBCD) mammography program, where we are offering novel AI-enhanced mammography services to women
in conjunction with their annual breast cancer screening exams for an additional fee. We expect that this offering will be available in
all RadNet mammography centers by the end of the summer of 2023. Based upon early adoption data from several of our east coast markets,
we are anticipating our losses from AI in 2023 to significantly narrow as a result of EBCD revenue, and we project our AI segment to be
profitable in 2024."
