RadNet Reports Second Quarter Financial Results and Reaffirms
Previously Announced 2015 Guidance Levels
California, August 10, 2015 - RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing
high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 276 owned and/or operated
outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2015.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive
Officer of RadNet, commented, "We are very pleased with the improvement in our second quarter performance relative to our
financial results in the first quarter. All of our operating metrics increased during the quarter, including Revenue, Adjusted
EBITDA(1), Net Income and procedural volumes. Most notably, our operating expense ratio improved significantly, dropping
from 92.9% of Revenue in the first quarter of this year to 86.1% in this second quarter."
Dr. Berger continued, "In particular,
the investments we made during the end of last year and into this second quarter of this year are beginning to pay dividends. Higher
patient volumes necessitated these investments. Our capitation business, which included the implementation of a new contract in
this year's second quarter, has increased over 35% from last year's second quarter. The investments we made have grown
our capacity to service larger patient volumes in many of our California markets."
"This year, we expanded our call centers,
pre-authorization teams and patient service coordinators, implemented a variety of information technology systems (like eRAD, time
and attendance, payroll and human resources systems) and constructed new facilities. We also purchased facilities in key markets
where we had little or no coverage previously. The results of many of these investments improved our service levels and financial
results in the second quarter. I expect this improvement to continue. Even though we lowered our operating expense ratio from the
first quarter of 2015, we are striving to decrease this ratio to last year's operating levels. This can be accomplished through
growing revenues in existing facilities, leveraging the capacity and investments we have recently made. Historically, once we have
built capacity at our sites, future incremental patient volumes result in substantially more Adjusted EBITDA(1) and
Dr. Berger added, "Aside from the organic
growth we are experiencing, I am excited about initiatives we have recently completed with two major health systems. On Friday,
we announced an extensive expansion of our existing joint venture with Barnabas Health in New Jersey. As part of the transaction,
Barnabas Health and RadNet are selling our respective wholly owned imaging facilities to the joint venture, and we will be pursuing
a state-wide growth and consolidation strategy. Pending its merger with Robert Wood Johnson Health System, Barnabas Health will
be the leading health system in New Jersey and will have $4.5 billion in annual Revenue. Our transaction with the Barnabas Health
joint venture brings $35.5 million of new capital into RadNet and has significant other financial and strategic benefits. In addition,
last week, we established a new joint venture with Lifebridge Health, one of the leading hospital systems in the Baltimore, Maryland
and surrounding areas. In conjunction with establishing the new joint venture, we sold to Lifebridge a 25% interest in two of our
imaging centers for $5 million and the potential for further cash consideration should certain financial targets be met. I believe
there are considerable opportunities to grow this new venture and benefit from the reach Lifebridge has in the communities surrounding
its medical centers, including opportunities for growth with its owned and affiliated medical groups."
"These partnerships and others to come
will be a key part of RadNet's strategic direction and continue to validate our model of providing regionally concentrated,
high quality multi modality imaging services to large patient populations. We believe that we remain an attractive partner to any
hospital, health system or Accountable Care Organization seeking a broad array imaging expertise," finished Dr. Berger.
