  •  Announces third quarter revenue growth of 96 percent year over year
  • Confirms financial guidance for 2016
  • Announces a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 cents per share

SUWANEE, Ga., Oct. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq:DRAD) today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Total revenues for the 2016 third quarter were $31.1 million, an increase of 96 percent compared to the prior year’s third quarter revenues of $15.9 million.

Net loss for the 2016 third quarter was $0.3 million, or $0.01 net loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $19.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share from the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income for the 2016 third quarter was $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share from the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the 2016 third quarter was $3.6 million, compared to $2.2 million in the prior year third quarter.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $94.3 million, an increase of 109 percent compared to the prior year’s revenues for the first nine months of $45.2 million.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $12.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to net income of $21.0 million, or $1.07 per diluted share in the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $4.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $3.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $11.4 million, compared to $5.0 million in the same period in the prior year. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA is provided later in this release.

The results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the results of the recent acquisition of DMS Health, which closed on January 1, 2016.

Digirad President and CEO Matt Molchan said, “We are pleased with our results this quarter, and the performance of all our businesses, including the business units of DMS Health that we acquired at the beginning of the year. As we have stated before, our results can be affected by the timing of product sales on a quarter by quarter basis, and during the third quarter we did experience some of this timing as well as higher than normal parts cost for our product service businesses. However, we expect the product sales timing and underlying parts cost to balance out by the end of the year and continue to be confident of our full year financial guidance, which is supported by our significant year over year performance on a year to date basis through September 2016.”

Digirad Chief Financial Officer Jeff Keyes said, “We are also pleased with the momentum of our cash flow generation on a year to date basis, which beyond our normal quarterly dividend, allowed us to make three extra payments on the highest interest rate tranche of our credit facility. Paying down debt not only reduces our interest expense but it also accretes additional value to our shareholders. And finally, we are excited that we are nearly complete with our operational integration of DMS Health, and expect to finish all major planned integration activities by year end."

The Company also announced a cash dividend of $0.05 cents per share that will be paid on November 28, 2016, to shareholders of record on November 17, 2016.

2016 Financial Guidance

The Company reaffirms its previously announced fiscal year 2016 financial guidance of revenues between $125 million and $130 million, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA between $17 million and $18 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of between $0.30 and $0.35.

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.
