LOS ANGELES, Feb. 29, 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 366 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, “Record Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fourth quarter enabled us to exceed our 2023 full-year revised guidance ranges, ranges that were increased several times throughout 2023. The performance was the result of a continuation of strong industry trends and execution on a multi-pronged growth strategy focused on driving same-center performance, the expansion of existing and establishment of new health system partnerships and investments made in de novo imaging centers and newer technologies (including equipment, software and AI that drive improved throughput and efficiency). In the fourth quarter, the core Imaging Center segment experienced same-center procedural volume growth of 5.5%, Revenue growth of 8.6% and Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth of 11.0% as compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins in the Imaging Center segment improved in the fourth quarter of 2023 relative to 2022 by 30 basis points, from 16.1% to 16.4%.”

“During 2023, we carefully managed liquidity and financial leverage. This was highlighted with our completion of a successful stock offering in June of 2023, adding approximately $245 million of net proceeds to our balance sheet and enabling a discretionary debt repayment of $30 million in October 2023. As a result of these actions and a focus on margins and Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth, at year-end 2023, net debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) fell below 2.0x. Liquidity at the end of 2023 remained strong, with a $342 million cash balance and Days Sales Outstanding (DSO’s) of 32.0, which we believe to be among the best in the industry,” added Dr. Berger.

“The demand for diagnostic imaging remains robust moving into 2024. Our solid financial position and multifaceted operating model have presented us with opportunities to expand our business, particularly through the construction of new centers to meet the growing demand and utilization in our target markets. We project to open approximately a dozen new facilities during 2024, and believe these sites should be positive contributors to our performance. Additionally, we expect to continue expanding existing health system joint ventures and partnerships and establish new ones during 2024,” explained Dr. Berger.

“Earlier this week, we were pleased to announce a new platform acquisition in Houston, which represents our first new geographic expansion since 2020. The Houston metropolitan marketplace, encompassing about 7.3 million people, is the fourth most populous city and the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States. In our commitment to improving and expanding patient access and services, we will look to grow in this market in various ways, including through de novo build-outs, health system partnerships and introducing our AI and leading edge clinical and operating digital health solutions. In the future, we may enter additional new markets when conditions and opportunities support such moves,” added Dr. Berger.

Dr. Berger concluded, “We remain enthusiastic about the initiatives in information technology and digital health. These include migrating our proprietary software solutions to the cloud, creating the new DeepHealth OS suite of solutions, new projects leveraging generative AI to improve operating efficiency and lower costs and the expansion of AI-enhanced programs in breast, lung and prostate screening domestically and abroad. The AI Revenue almost tripled in 2023 as compared with 2022, and if the continued implementation of the Enhanced Breast Cancer Diagnostic (EBCD) screening mammography program progresses as planned, AI Revenue could almost double in 2024 relative to 2023.”

Dr. Berger noted, “We are particularly excited to announce the formation of the Digital Health reporting segment. This new segment combines our informatics businesses (eRAD and related solutions) with our AI operations. While the software solutions of this operating segment are critical to the success of the imaging center business, the Digital Health segment has over 500 outside customers and has its own unique opportunities for growth and expansion. We have conviction that the Digital Health solutions can positively impact how radiology and imaging are practiced, and we have attracted experienced talent to lead this new segment who have successfully developed, commercialized and sold imaging-related information technology solutions in the past.”

Dr Berger added, “Taking into account all the current initiatives in progress within both operating segments, our guidance reflects significant growth in 2024. Within the Imaging Center segment, we expect to benefit from a continued focus on same-center performance, tuck-in acquisitions, increased reimbursement, expanded and new health system joint ventures and de novo center openings. Combining these opportunities with diligent expense management, we are projecting to drive double digit growth in Imaging Center Adjusted EBITDA(1) in 2024. As a result, despite a continued commitment to capital expenditures in 2024, primarily on de novo center openings, we anticipate doubling our free cash flow as compared with 2023 results from our core Imaging Center segment.”

“Within the new Digital Health segment, we are expecting significant growth in 2024 primarily from anticipated incremental AI revenue from both the continued Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) implementation and from our lung and prostate AI licensing business, particularly in Europe. We further anticipate that by year end 2024, our AI businesses will collectively be on a run-rate of positive Adjusted EBITDA(1). Our guidance also reflects the substantial investment we are making in the development of our DeepHealth OS cloud-based operating system and the generative AI modules that could lower our costs and increase efficiency in the areas of patient scheduling, pre-authorization, insurance verification and revenue cycle. We believe this research and development investment will pay dividends both in our core imaging center business and for the current and future customers outside of RadNet,” concluded Dr. Berger.

Footnotes

(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and excludes losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, other income or loss, loss on debt extinguishments, bargain purchase gains 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 and extraordinary events which took 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.

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 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, pre-tax loss or gain from AI segment and any other non-recurring or unusual transactions recorded during the period.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Earnings 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.
