SUWANEE, Ga., Feb. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq:DRAD) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Total revenues for the 2015 fourth quarter were $15.6 million, an increase of 10 percent compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter revenues of $14.1 million.

Adjusted net income for the 2015 fourth quarter was $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year fourth quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA for the 2015 fourth quarter was $2.1 million, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year fourth quarter.

Total revenues for the full year 2015 were $60.8 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to 2014 revenue of $55.6 million.

Adjusted net income for the full year 2015 was $4.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share in 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2015 was $7.2 million, compared to $5.5 million in 2014.

A reconciliation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA is provided later in this release.

Digirad President and CEO Matt Molchan said, “I am very pleased with our performance this quarter and also for the full year 2015 as we close out the most profitable year in Digirad’s history.  All our businesses continue to perform well, and we expect to continue this momentum into 2016.  Further, we ended solidly above our guidance range on both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS.”

Molchan continued, “We are also very excited about our recent acquisition of DMS Health Technologies, which offers mobile healthcare solutions, as well as medical equipment sales and services, mainly serving the Upper Midwest region of the United States, which closed on January 1, 2016.  Getting this deal closed was a tremendous effort by many individuals at both Companies, for which I am very thankful.  We now are moving forward with our integration efforts, which have been ongoing since the closing and mainly involve harmonizing back office operations.  This transaction is truly transformational for Digirad, doubling our operational footprint, and for 2016, effectively doubling our estimated revenues and more than doubling our estimated adjusted EBITDA. We are very excited and are looking forward to future opportunities of the combined companies as we move into 2016.”

The Company also announced the DMS Health Technologies operational and financial performance will be included in overall Digirad results effective January 1, 2016, with the first published financial results being included in the Company’s first quarter 2016 earnings release.

2016 Financial Guidance

For fiscal year 2016, the Company expects to generate revenues between $125 million and $130 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA between $17 million and $18 million.  This financial guidance includes the result of DMS Health Technologies effective January 1, 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Digirad Corporation

This Digirad news release presents the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income,” “adjusted net income per diluted share,” and “adjusted EBITDA.” The most directly comparable measure for these non-GAAP financial measures are net income and diluted net income per share. The Company has included in this release unaudited adjusted financial information, which presents the Company's results of operations after excluding restructuring charges, acquired intangible asset amortization, acquisition related contingent consideration valuation adjustments, transaction and integration costs associated with DMS Health Technologies, and non-recurring related income tax adjustments. Further excluded in the measure of adjusted EBITDA are interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.

A discussion of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Digirad's financial condition and results of operations is included as Exhibit 99.2 to Digirad's report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016.
