Financial Guidance Levels
LOS ANGELES, California, August 8, 2019
- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective,
fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 340 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers,
today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2019.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "We continued the momentum we established in the first quarter of this year with
a very strong second quarter. Our Revenue increased 18.3% and our Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 13.0% from last year's
second quarter. Our improved performance was driven by strong contributions from recent acquisitions on both coasts, new and expanded
joint ventures and overall same-center procedural volume growth of 3.5%."
Dr. Berger continued, "During the
quarter, we began the systematic integration of Kern Radiology and operationalized our second joint venture with Dignity Health
in Ventura County, California. We also continued to make progress with our performance of our East Coast capitation contract with
Emblem Health and further integrated our recently acquired Medical Arts Radiology acquisition in Long Island, New York."
"We remain excited about the prospects
for the second half of 2019 and have increased our guidance levels in anticipation of continued strength in our business. We have
also begun to set the stage for exciting potential developments that could have a material positive impact on the accuracy, speed
and cost structure of our future service offerings. Most notably, we announced the formation of our Artificial Intelligence division
along with the acquisition of the 75% of Nulogix which we did not previously own. Through this new division, we intend to research,
develop, test and invest in offerings using artificial intelligence for image interpretation and for improving our business processes,"
