LOS ANGELES, California, February 29, 2024
- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic
imaging services through a network of 366 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "Record Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fourth quarter enabled us to exceed our 2023
full-year revised guidance ranges, ranges that were increased several times throughout 2023. The performance was the result of a continuation
of strong industry trends and execution on a multi-pronged growth strategy focused on driving same-center performance, the expansion of
existing and establishment of new health system partnerships and investments made in de novo imaging centers and newer technologies (including
equipment, software and AI that drive improved throughput and efficiency). In the fourth quarter, the core Imaging Center segment experienced
same-center procedural volume growth of 5.5%, Revenue growth of 8.6% and Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth of 11.0% as compared with
the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins in the Imaging Center segment improved in the fourth quarter of 2023
relative to 2022 by 30 basis points, from 16.1% to 16.4%."
"During 2023, we carefully managed liquidity
and financial leverage. This was highlighted with our completion of a successful stock offering in June of 2023, adding approximately
$245 million of net proceeds to our balance sheet and enabling a discretionary debt repayment of $30 million in October 2023. As a result
of these actions and a focus on margins and Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth, at year-end 2023, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1)
fell below 2.0x. Liquidity at the end of 2023 remained strong, with a $342 million cash balance and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO's)
of 32.0, which we believe to be among the best in the industry," added Dr. Berger.
"The demand for diagnostic imaging remains
robust moving into 2024. Our solid financial position and multifaceted operating model have presented us with opportunities to expand
our business, particularly through the construction of new centers to meet the growing demand and utilization in our target markets. We
project to open approximately a dozen new facilities during 2024, and believe these sites should be positive contributors to our performance.
Additionally, we expect to continue expanding existing health system joint ventures and partnerships and establish new ones during 2024,
explained Dr. Berger."
"Earlier this week, we were pleased to announce
a new platform acquisition in Houston, which represents our first new geographic expansion since 2020. The Houston metropolitan marketplace,
encompassing about 7.3 million people, is the fourth most populous city and the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the United
States. In our commitment to improving and expanding patient access and services, we will look to grow in this market in various ways,
including through de novo build-outs, health system partnerships and introducing our AI and leading edge clinical and operating digital
health solutions. In the future, we may enter additional new markets when conditions and opportunities support such moves," added
Dr. Berger concluded, "We remain enthusiastic
about the initiatives in information technology and digital health. These include migrating our proprietary software solutions to the
cloud, creating the new DeepHealth OS suite of solutions, new projects leveraging generative AI to improve operating efficiency and lower
costs and the expansion of AI-enhanced programs in breast, lung and prostate screening domestically and abroad. The AI Revenue almost
tripled in 2023 as compared with 2022, and if the continued implementation of the Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnostic (EBCD) screening mammography
program progresses as planned, AI Revenue could almost double in 2024 relative to 2023."
