RadNet Reports Third Quarter Financial Results and Reaffirms
Previously Announced 2018 Guidance Levels
LOS ANGELES, California, November 9,
2018 - RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective,
fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 341 (adjusted for centers added on October 1, 2018 related
to the previously announced Medical Arts Imaging and EmblemHealth transactions) owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers,
today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2018.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "I am pleased with our results this quarter. We compared favorably in all metrics
relative to last year's third quarter. We demonstrated Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and earnings growth as well
as positive same center revenue and procedural increases."
Dr. Berger continued, "Immediately
after quarter-end, we completed two important initiatives that further our strategy in New York and set the stage for growth in
the coming quarters. First, under a capitation arrangement we announced in August, we commenced operations on October 1st to provide
imaging to approximately 200,000 members of EmblemHealth's AdvantageCare Physicians medical group in Long Island and the
boroughs of New York City. The contract included RadNet assuming operations in 26 AdvantageCare offices. During this third quarter,
we hired and trained the employees needed to staff the new offices and procured the equipment necessary to support the anticipated
patient volumes. While capitation has been an important and successful aspect of our operating strategy in California, this is
our first inroad into risk-based contracting on the east coast. We are in discussions with other east coast medical groups and
payors about network contracting and population health opportunities and are very interested in expanding through managing the
imaging for larger patient populations."
Dr. Berger added, "The second transaction
in New York, the acquisition of Medical Arts Imaging, was completed on October 1st and expanded our New York metropolitan network
into Nassau and Suffolk counties of Long Island. The ten centers of Medical Arts are instrumental in providing the capacity and
coverage necessary to effectively service the EmblemHealth capitated members. Expanding our platform into Long Island with EmblemHeatlh
and Medical Arts has already surfaced additional opportunities to grow our operations in New York. Launching this capitation contract
and integrating both the Medical Arts and AdvantageCare locations into the RadNet network will be our primary area of focus for
the remainder of the year."
