MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 11, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Virtual Radiologic Corporation (Nasdaq:VRAD), a leading national provider of teleradiology services, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007.

Fourth Quarter Results

Total revenues increased 41% to $22.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue over the fourth quarter of 2006 was entirely from organic growth and resulted primarily from a 21% increase in the number of hospitals and medical facilities served to 804 as of December 31, 2007, which represents approximately 13% of all hospitals in the United States. In addition, we experienced same-site volume growth (4) of 21% compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $4.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. This increase resulted primarily from improved radiologist efficiency during 2007 brought about by continuing advancements in both our distributed network infrastructure and our radiologist support services. In addition, sales, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 38% for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to 44% for the fourth quarter of 2006, resulting primarily from enhancements in our operating leverage.

Adjusted net income was $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, resulting in Pro-forma diluted earnings per share of $0.14 and $0.10, respectively.

GAAP Net income was $1.3 million for both the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006.

Full Year Results

Total revenues increased 59% to $86.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue over 2006 was entirely from organic growth and resulted primarily from a 21% increase in the number of hospitals and medical facilities served to 804 as of December 31, 2007, which represents approximately 13% of all hospitals in the United States. In addition, we experienced same-site volume growth of 18% compared to 2006 and 24% of our revenues were derived from higher priced final reads during 2007 compared to 19% in 2006.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 198% to $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from improved radiologist efficiency during 2007 brought about by continuing advancements in both our distributed network infrastructure and our radiologist support services. In addition, sales, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 36% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to 41% for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting primarily from enhancements in our operating leverage.

Adjusted net income increased 240% to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2006, resulting in Pro-forma diluted earnings per share of $0.74 and $0.24, respectively.

GAAP Net income was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the same period in 2006.

Management Comments and Business Outlook

"2007 was a record year for Virtual Radiologic," said Sean Casey, Virtual Radiologic's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We successfully completed our initial public offering and continued to demonstrate strong growth in revenue, same-site volume and profitability. We were particularly pleased with our ability to recruit and retain high-quality U.S.-based radiologists in a supply-constrained, competitive market. We believe our U.S.-based distributed model is not only an attractive recruiting tool, but it also positions us well to continue our expansion into the final reads market. We ended 2007 with $33 million of cash on our balance sheet and with significant investments in our technology platform already behind us. We believe Virtual Radiologic is well positioned for continued growth and profitability in 2008."

Mark Marlow, Virtual Radiologic's Chief Financial Officer went on to comment, "We anticipate that 2008 will be another exciting year for Virtual Radiologic, with continued revenue growth of 33% to 39%, resulting in an anticipated revenue range for 2008 of $115 million to $120 million and Adjusted EBITDA ranging from $25 million to $27 million, a 55% to 68% increase over the full year of 2007. In addition, we anticipate Adjusted net income growth of 31% to 43%, resulting in an Adjusted net income range of $13.8 million to $15.1 million. We expect this will result in Adjusted diluted earnings per share ranging from $0.80 to $0.87 for 2008."

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company records its results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In addition, the Company is providing certain supplemental non-GAAP information which the Company believes to be important indicators of its financial performance. These financial measures are not financial measures under GAAP and the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:



 * EBITDA - net income (loss) excluding the effects of income tax
   expense, interest expense (income), net, and depreciation and
   amortization.

 * Adjusted EBITDA - net income (loss) excluding the effects of income
   tax expense, non-controlling interest, interest expense (income),
   net, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based
   compensation expense;

 * Adjusted net income - net income (loss) available to common
   stockholders excluding the effects of non-controlling interest,
   non-cash stock-based compensation, non-recurring financing charges,
   preferred cash dividends paid and Series A Cumulative Redeemable
   Convertible Preferred Stock accretion;

 * Pro-forma diluted earnings per share - Adjusted net income divided
   by Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding;

 * Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding - Diluted weighted average
   common shares outstanding plus the weighted average Series A
   Preferred Stock outstanding and common share equivalents; and

 * Adjusted diluted earnings per share - Adjusted net income divided by
   diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are a useful indicator of its performance and on-going operations. The Company's management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to review and assess its operating performance and management team in connection with certain incentive programs and the preparation of its financial projections. In addition, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to certain items, such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company. However, the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Pro-forma diluted earnings per share, Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are not measurements of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, earnings per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding(1)                   17.3


 (1) Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the full year
     2008 are calculated using the treasury stock method in accordance
     with GAAP based on forecast assumptions made by the Company. The
     diluted weighted average shares outstanding for 2008 increased
     significantly over 2007 Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding due
     to the shares sold in the Company's initial public offering in
     November 2007. See "Notes Regarding the use of Non-GAAP Financial
     Measures" and "Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP
     Reconciliations" for more information related to the Pro-forma
     diluted shares outstanding.
