LOS ANGELES, California, November 9, 2015 – RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 297 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2015.

 

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, “We are pleased with the continuing improvement of our business since the first quarter of this year. This third quarter, we had our highest Revenue and EBITDA of 2015, reflective of growth and expansion initiatives we completed throughout the year and continued focus on managing costs. Although we are far from the full optimization of the infrastructure investments we made at the end of last year and throughout the first quarter of 2015, we are beginning to experience some of the operating leverage from the increased capacity these investments provided. Despite having more work to do to grow into this infrastructure, I am encouraged by utilization trends that I see in our business.”

 

“I’m most encouraged by strong volumes we are experiencing in many of our regional networks. Aggregate volumes increased 12.0% and same center volume increased 5.2% as compared with last year’s third quarter. Capitation in California continues to grow as well. As compared with last year’s third quarter, capitation revenue increased 21.5%,” added Dr. Berger.

 

Dr. Berger continued, “During the quarter, we completed the expansion of our New Jersey Imaging Joint Venture with Barnabas Health and established a new joint venture in the Baltimore, Maryland region with LifeBridge Health. Partnering with hospitals and health systems will continue to be an important part of our growth strategy. The Affordable Care Act encourages alliances between providers, and hospitals and health systems are more interested than ever in aligning with ancillary outpatient service providers like RadNet. These partnerships validate our expertise in all facets of imaging, from operating outpatient centers to managing in-hospital radiology departments, providing information technology solutions and provisioning off-site teleradiology services. ”

 

“Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of Diagnostic Imaging Group, LLC (“DIG” ). DIG should incrementally provide us over $70 million of annual revenue, over 750,000 patient exams per year and 17 new facilities in densely populated New York metropolitan markets. The acquisition enhances our already-leading position in the New York metropolitan area, bolstering our presence in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, while establishing us in Queens. The acquisition furthers our ability to pursue unique contracting and population health opportunities, and I believe there are substantial additional growth opportunities on which we can capitalize;” concluded Dr. Berger.

Regulation G: GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information

Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Footnotes

 

(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and adjusted for losses or gains on the sale of equipment, other income or loss, debt extinguishments and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taken place during the period.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

 

(2) As noted above, the Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less total Capital Expenditures (whether completed with cash or financed) and Cash Interest paid. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses Free Cash Flow because the Company believes it provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
