Net Income for the fourth quarter was $0.08
per diluted share, compared to a Net Income of $0.02 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015. These per share values are
based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 46.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 46.5 million
of diluted shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Affecting Net Income
in the fourth quarter of 2016 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $908,000 of non-cash employee stock
compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $349,000 of severance paid in connection
with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $392,000 loss on the disposal of certain capital equipment; and
$801,000 of amortization and write off of deferred financing costs and loan discount related to our
existing credit facilities.
For the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared
with the prior year's fourth quarter, MRI volume increased 2.6%, CT volume increased 3.1% and PET/CT volume increased 4.0%.
Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased
0.6% over the prior year's fourth quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet
for both the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015, MRI volume increased 1.5%, CT volume increased 1.7% and PET/CT volume increased
4.0%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other
exams, was flat over the prior year's same quarter.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented "I am very pleased with our fourth quarter results. As compared with last year's same
quarter, aggregate Revenue, EBITDA, Net Income and procedural volumes increased. Our same center advanced modalities and Revenue
also grew in the current quarter over last year's fourth quarter. Although we are not complete with our efforts, during the
quarter we made significant progress in integrating our recently acquired operations of Diagnostic Imaging Group and New York Radiology
Partners. These efforts included migrating billing and site-level clinical systems, evaluating, training and enhancing the capabilities
of personnel, revamping marketing and branding strategies and migrating supply relationships and vendor contracts."
For full year 2016, the Company reported Revenue
of $884.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $133.0 million and Net Income of $7.2 million. Revenue increased $74.9 million
(or 9.3%) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $11.4 million (or 9.3%). Net Income for 2016 was $0.15 per diluted share,
compared to Net Income of $0.17 per diluted share in 2015 (based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of
46.7 million and 45.2 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively).
Affecting Net Income
in 2016 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $5.8 million of non-cash employee stock compensation
expense resulting from the vesting of certain options and restricted stock; $2.9 of severance paid in connection with headcount
reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $767,000 loss on the disposal of certain capital equipment; $5.0 million gain on
the return of common stock related to one of our acquisitions; and $5.0 million of amortization and
write off of deferred financing fees and discount on issuance of debt related to our existing credit facilities and refinancing
For the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared
to 2015, MRI volume increased 7.8%, CT volume increased 7.9% and PET/CT volume increased 7.9%. Overall volume, taking into account
routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 8.3% for the twelve months of 2016
"During 2016, we focused on internal
operations and completed no material acquisitions. I'm proud of our many operational and financial accomplishments during
the year. First, throughout 2016, we materially improved our balance sheet and financial leverage ratios. We generated over $35
million of free cash flow, ended the year with a cash balance of over $20 million and reduced our net debt by over $20 million
as compared with its balance on December 31, 2015. We were able to significantly reduce our Net Debt to EBITDA leverage to 4.8x,
down from 5.3x just one year ago," concluded Dr. Berger.
"Another key accomplishment in 2016 was
the announcement of our first West Coast health system joint venture with Dignity Health in Glendale, CA. We are now fully operational
with the two centers we own jointly. We are actively working on additional health system partnerships on both coasts and look forward
to announcing their successful formation during 2017. Also during 2016, we laid the foundation to bring our West Coast Breastlink
operations to two of our larger East Coast markets. Throughout the year, we assembled the team, business plan and site locations
for a comprehensive breast disease management offering we expect to become fully operational in the second quarter of 2017,"
"Additionally, subsequent to quarter
end, we successfully completed an amendment to our senior credit facilities which reduced our interest rate by 0.5% on our $478.9
million senior secured first lien term loan and $117.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility. This amounts to approximately
$2.4 million of interest expense savings, providing additional cash flow which we will use to further de-lever our balance sheet
or expand our business."
