LOS ANGELES, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 398 owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its second quarter of 2024.

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, “Both the Imaging Center and Digital Health reportable operating segments demonstrated strong growth and achieved record quarterly results. Total Company Revenue grew 13.9% as compared with last year’s second quarter to a record $459.7 million. The Digital Health segment Revenue of $15.8 million increased 36.4% from last year’s same quarter. The strong growth in Digital Health was, in part, driven by the AI businesses, whose Revenue increased 136.6% as compared with last year’s second quarter, mainly from the continuing success of the rollout of the Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) DeepHealth AI-powered screening mammography program.”

“Improved reimbursement from commercial and capitated payors, continued strong demand for advanced imaging modalities, the growth of the Digital Health businesses and effective cost controls resulted in an increase to Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ margins. Total Company EBITDA⁽¹⁾ margin of 15.7% during this second quarter increased by 76 basis points over last year’s second quarter.” added Dr. Berger.

Dr. Berger continued, “Including the recently announced joint venture with Providence Health System, a recent expansion of the Ventura County, California partnership with Dignity Health and certain new de novo centers we have opened within existing joint ventures, as of the end of this second quarter, we had 149 of our 398 centers (or 37.4%) held in partnership with leading health systems. These partnerships allow us to play a more integral role within the local healthcare communities we serve by increasing access, disseminating new technologies and improving the quality of patient care.”

“Given the positive trends we continue to experience in virtually all aspects of our business and the strong financial performance of the second quarter, we are revising upwards certain guidance levels in anticipation of financial results that we believe will exceed both our original expectations and the amendments we made to the guidance ranges upon releasing our first quarter 2024 results in May. We have increased 2024 guidance ranges for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and Free Cash Flow⁽²⁾,” added Dr. Berger.

Dr. Berger continued, “In response to high demand and patient backlogs in many of RadNet’s local markets, we continue to pursue expanding capacity through the development and construction of new imaging centers. We anticipate opening approximately six new centers by year end 2024 and an additional 15 centers in 2025. Approximately half of these new centers will be within existing health system partnerships. Within Digital Health, but for Houston, we are substantially complete with implementing the EBCD program. Continued development of the DeepHealth OS technology platform places us on-track towards beginning implementation within RadNet in the coming months and within external customers as early as the first quarter of 2025. The DeepHealth OS integrates generative AI capabilities to help us and external customers automate and drive efficiencies for many of the back-office and support functions involved with running imaging centers.”

“RadNet’s balance sheet continues to strengthen. In April, we completed a successful refinancing of our term loan and revolving line of credit, resulting in a reduction of interest rates, an extension of maturities and the funding of additional cash to the balance sheet of approximately $168 million. At quarter end, we had a cash balance of $741.7 million, and our leverage ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was at a record low, slightly above 1.0,” concluded Dr. Berger.

Second Quarter Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2024, RadNet reported Total Company Revenue of $459.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $72.3 million. Revenue increased $56.0 million (or 13.9%) and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased $11.9 million (or 19.7%) as compared with the second quarter of 2023.

Revenue increased $4.2 million (or 36.4%) and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ increased $1.9 million (or 135.2%) as compared with the second quarter of 2023. Digital Health Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ growth was due in part from a $3.2 million (or 136.6%) increase in AI Revenue, which climbed to $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2024.

Unadjusted for unusual or one-time items impacting the second quarter, Total Company Net Loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $3.0 million as compared with a Total Company Net Income of $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. Net Loss Per Share for the second quarter of 2024 was $(0.04), compared with a Net Income per share of $0.12 in the second quarter of 2023, based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 73.4 million shares in 2024 and 60.9 million shares in 2023.

There were a number of unusual or one-time items impacting the second quarter including: $1.9 million of non-cash loss from interest rate swaps; $5.6 million of non-cash interest expense related to extraordinary interest rate swap Other Comprehensive Income amortization, $0.8 million expense related to leases for de novo facilities under construction that have yet to open their operations; $8.8 million of debt restructuring and extinguishment expenses related to the April 2024 successful debt refinancing transaction; and $3.3 million of non-capitalized research and development expenses related to the DeepHealth Cloud OS and generative AI.

Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 9.2% over the prior year’s second quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet for both the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, MRI volume increased 11.7%, CT volume increased 9.9% and PET/CT volume increased 13.7%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 6.1% over the prior year’s same quarter

Unadjusted for one-time or unusual items, Total Company Net Loss for the first six months of 2024 was $5.8 million as compared with a Total Company Net Loss of $12.6 million for the first six months of 2023. Net Loss Per Share for the six month period of 2024 was $(0.08), compared with a Net Loss per share of $(0.21) in the six month period of 2023, based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 71.8 million shares in 2024 and 59.2 million shares in 2023.

2024 Guidance Update

RadNet amends its previously announced guidance levels as follows:

(a)   Net of proceeds from the sale of equipment, imaging centers and joint venture interests and New Jersey Imaging Network capital expenditures.
(b)   Includes payments to and from counterparties on interest rate swaps and nets interest income from our cash balance recorded in Other Income.

“We have increased guidance ranges of our core Imaging Center reporting segment for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾. Furthermore, despite increasing the Capital Expenditures guidance range by $5 million, we are expecting Free Cash Flow⁽²⁾ to be higher for the year. This is the result of the projected increase in Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and lower Cash Interest Expense. With respect to the Digital Health reportable segment, we remain on track to meet our original guidance levels.”

Regulation G: GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information

This release contains certain financial information not reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure its financial results. The Company believes that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist the Company in measuring its cash-based performance. The Company believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties because it removes unusual and nonrecurring charges that occur in the affected period and provides a basis for measuring the Company's financial condition against other quarters. 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. Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in this release in the tables which follow.

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 Expense. 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.

Free Cash Flow 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.

⁽³⁾ The Company defines Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as net income or loss attributable to RadNet, Inc. common stockholders and excludes losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, loss on debt extinguishments, bargain purchase gains, severance costs, loss on impairment, loss or gain on swap valuation, gain on extinguishment of debt, unusual or non-recurring entries that impact the Company’s tax provision and any other non-recurring or unusual transactions recorded during the period.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance. Adjusted Earnings Per Share should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted Earnings Per Share 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 Earnings Per Share 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.
