Digirad Corporation Reports 2009 Financial Results

Digirad Generates Net Income & Positive Cash Flow; Cash & Investments Approach $32M

POWAY, CA -- (Marketwire - February 11, 2010) - Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) today reported that it generated net income and continued generating positive cash flow. The Company improved its total cash and investments position to $31.8 million at December 31, 2009, despite lower sales, from $28.3 million at December 31, 2008.

Digirad CEO Todd Clyde said, "We are pleased to have met each of our 2009 operating and strategic goals, while maintaining our overarching mandate of making progress towards consistent positive cash flow and profitability. Specifically, we streamlined our hub system in our Digirad Imaging Solutions business; launched our new Cardius® X-ACT attenuation correction camera that increases interpretive ease and accuracy; began selling c.pax™, our new web-based structured reporting and picture archiving and communication system (PACS); and, refined our Centers of Influence program. We met the challenge of an uncertain healthcare environment with a $7.7 million positive swing in operating profits from 2008, generating more than $4.8 million in cash flow from operations, and achieving positive net income for the year."

2009 Full Year Financial Highlights:

- --  Total revenue in 2009 was $69.6 million, compared to $80.4 million in
    2008, mainly due to the sale and closure of certain DIS hubs and fewer
    nuclear gamma camera sales.  DIS revenue was $52.3 million compared to
    $56.2 million for 2008, and Product revenues were $17.3 million
    compared to $24.2 for 2008.

- --  Gross profit was $20.2 million, or 29% of revenue, compared to $20.1
    million, or 25%, for 2008.

- --  Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to net loss
    of $6.9 million, or $0.36 per share, for 2008.

- --  Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities totaled
    $31.8 million, or $1.67 per share at December 31, 2009, net of
    approximately $1.0 million invested in the Company's stock as part of
    its 10b-18 buyback program.  Cash and cash equivalents and available-
    for-sale securities were $28.3 million at December 31, 2008 and $31.1
    million at September 30, 2009.

- --  DIS asset utilization was 64% on 148 systems (nuclear and ultrasound),
    compared to 58% on 153 systems (nuclear and ultrasound) during 2008.

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights:

- --  Total revenue was $16.4 million, compared to $22.0 million in the
    fourth quarter of 2008, mainly due to a shortfall in DIS sales and
    fewer nuclear gamma camera sales that we believe resulted from
    economy-driven tightening of hospital budgets and debt availability.
    DIS revenue declined to $12.0 million compared to $14.2 million in the
    fourth quarter of 2008 and $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2009.
    Product revenues were $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009
    compared to $7.8 million in the comparable prior year quarter and $4.0
    million in the third quarter of 2009.

- --  Gross profit was $4.7 million, or 29% of revenue, compared to $6.3
    million, or 29%, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

- --  Net income was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net
    loss of $3.4 million, or $0.18 per share, in the fourth quarter of
    2008.

- --  DIS asset utilization was 66% on 137 systems (nuclear and ultrasound),
    compared to 56% on 160 systems (nuclear and ultrasound) during the
    fourth quarter of 2008.

Clyde continued, "Our goal is to provide the best nuclear and ultrasound services available in the market, allowing our physician-customers to deliver needed diagnostic tests in their offices, while driving positive health care economics. Our two main goals for 2010 are to:

- --  Generate positive cash flow in excess of $2 million; and,

- --  Achieve positive earnings.

We expect to accomplish these two fundamental goals by:

- --  Retaining our DIS customers, despite reimbursement reductions, and
    offering them new, expanded services;

- --  Managing our operating expenses to adjust to the changing healthcare
    environment;

- --  Continuing to focus on accounts receivable collections, inventory
    reduction and balance sheet management; and,

- --  Introducing, in the middle of 2010, the first large-field-of-view,
    solid-state portable camera to the hospital marketplace.

Throughout the coming months, we intend to make additional changes to our DIS business model and to our physician-customer partnerships, as we continue to stabilize our business and absorb the impact of the 2010 reimbursement rate reduction of thirty-six percent in nuclear cardiology and ten percent in echocardiography. We plan on adding vascular and general imaging procedures to our ultrasound services in 2010 to expand our channel offerings. We anticipate the reimbursement reductions to impact our financials in the first part of 2010; however, the steps just mentioned, along with continued cost management, are expected to result in a stronger second half of 2010, as well as positive cash flow and profitability for the year."
