iCAD Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results and Announces $13 Million Credit Facility With Silicon Valley Bank

NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights:

• Total revenue of $6.4 million
• Gross margin of $4.5 million, or 70%
• GAAP Net Loss of $(2.6) million, or $(0.16) per share
• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.6) million
• Cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million at June 30, 2017                 

Subsequent Event:

• In August of 2017, the Company secured a credit facility in the amount of up to $13.0 million from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).  The financing is composed of an initial term loan of $6.0 million and a $4.0 million revolving line of credit.  The Company also has the option to secure an additional $3.0 million term loan in 2018, subject to achieving certain revenue milestones.               

“The second quarter of 2017 results were negatively impacted by softer product sales in our Therapy segment, combined with the effect of our exit from the MRI software business within the Detection segment. While our first half of 2017 performance very much resembled the performance in the first half of 2016, we are optimistic that the growing momentum from the key growth drivers in our business will enable us to deliver a stronger second half of 2017,” said Ken Ferry, Chief Executive Officer.

“To this end, we launched our PowerLook Tomo Detection software in late March through our direct sales team and in early June with GE’s U.S. women’s health sales force,” continued Mr. Ferry.  “Initial customer interest has been very strong and we anticipate increased sales in the third quarter, our first full quarter of commercial activity in the U.S.  In addition, we continue to see positive trends in our skin electronic brachytherapy business.  We made progress in the second quarter, and the first half of 2017, with strong growth in the number of skin treating sites and patient procedure volume that we expect will continue throughout the year.  Again, we anticipate that the positive momentum from our Detection and Therapy businesses will contribute significantly to stronger performance in the second half of 2017 and beyond, as tomo detection and skin therapy are large market opportunities in the early stages of adoption.”

“In closing, I’m pleased to announce that, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company fortified its cash position by securing a credit facility of up to $13.0 million from Silicon Valley Bank.  We intend to utilize these funds to accelerate top-line growth and advance our pipeline technologies.  We look forward to a successful partnership with SVB, as we continue to build our cancer detection and therapy segments,” concluded Mr. Ferry.

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Revenue:  Total revenue for the second quarter of 2017 decreased 13% to $6.4 million from $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting a 22% decrease in product revenue and a 5% decrease in service revenue.

Cancer detection revenue, which includes revenue from our digital mammography, breast density, and CT CAD platforms, as well as the associated service revenue, for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $0.7 million, or 14%, to $4.2 million, as compared to $4.9 million in the same period in 2016.  The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $0.6 million in MRI revenues in the prior year quarter.  The MRI assets were divested in the first quarter of 2017.  Excluding MRI revenue, cancer detection revenue was relatively flat at approximately $4.2 million in each quarter.  Therapy revenue, which includes Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy System® product sales, as well as the associated service revenue, for the second quarter of 2017, decreased by $0.3 million, or 12%, to $2.2 million, from $2.5 million in the same period of 2016.  The decrease in Therapy revenue was due primarily to lower controller product sales volumes. 

Gross Profit:  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was $4.5 million, or 70% of revenue, compared with $5.7 million, or 77% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2016.  Gross profit in the prior year second quarter was positively impacted by a refund of the Medical Device Excise Tax of $0.3 million, or 4% of gross profit in the second quarter of 2016.

Operating Expenses:  Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 decreased to $7.1 million from $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The year-over-year decrease reflects lower amortization and depreciation charges and General and Administrative expenses, which were partially offset by higher Marketing and Sales spending. 

GAAP Net Loss:  Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $(2.6) million, or $(0.16) per share, compared with net loss of $(1.6) million, or $(0.10) per share, for the second quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was a loss of $(0.6) million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.3) million for the second quarter of 2016.  Please refer to the section entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable GAAP Measures” and the accompanying financial table included at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  As of June 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million, compared with $8.6 million as of December 31, 2016.  This cash position reflects a use of $1.6 million in cash from operations during the second quarter of 2017.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into a credit facility in the amount of up to $13.0 million from SVB.  The financing is composed of an initial term loan of $6.0 million and a $4.0 million revolving line of credit.  The Company also has the option to secure an additional $3.0 million term loan in 2018, subject to achieving certain revenue milestones.

First Half 2017 Financial Results

Revenue:  Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased 2% to $13.2 million from $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, reflecting a 7% decrease in service revenue, which was partially offset by a 6% increase in product revenue.

Cancer detection revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $0.1 million, or 1%.  The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to the inclusion of $1.2 million in MRI revenues in the first half of 2016, as compared to the first half of 2017 total of $0.3 million.  The MRI assets were divested in the first quarter of 2017.  Excluding the impact of MRI revenues in each of the six month periods, cancer detection revenue increased $0.8 million, or 10%, year-over-year.  Total Therapy revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $0.1 million, or 2%.  The decrease in Therapy revenue was due to lower controller product sales volumes.

Gross Profit:  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to $9.2 million, or 70% of revenue, from $9.9 million, or 74% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Gross profit in the prior year first half was positively impacted by a $0.5 million refund of Medical Device Excise Tax, which contributed 3% to gross profit in the first half of 2016.

Operating Expenses:  Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to $12.3 million from $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The year-over-year decrease reflects the gain on sale of the Company’s MRI assets and lower amortization and depreciation charges, which were partially offset by an increase in non-cash stock compensation expense, as well as investments in strategic growth initiatives, including Marketing, Sales, and Product Development.

GAAP Net Loss:  Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $(3.1) million, or $(0.19) per share, compared with net loss of $(4.1) million, or $(0.26) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was a loss of $(2.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES

The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to describe the Company's financial results determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future.  Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  However, management believes that in order to properly understand the Company's short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP.  These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations.  Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning.  These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in the Company's ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of the Company's ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management's ability to make useful forecasts.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance.  In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to its peers and competitors.

Management defines "Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA" as the sum of GAAP Net Loss before provisions for interest expense, other income, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, tax expense, loss on disposal of assets, gain on sale of assets, gain from acquisition settlement, and acquisition related expenses.  Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a good measure of its historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact the Company's overall financial performance.

Management excludes each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:

• Stock-based compensation expense: excluded as these are non-cash expenses that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the Company's business, and also because the total amount of expense is partially outside of the Company's control as it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expense is incurred.
• Amortization of acquired intangibles: acquisition-related expenses are reported at the time acquisition costs are incurred, and purchased intangibles are amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition.  Accordingly, these items are not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations.  Thus, including such charges does not accurately reflect the performance of the Company's ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
• Interest expense: The Company excludes interest expense which includes interest from the facility agreement, interest on settlement obligations and interest on capital leases, from its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
• Gain on sale of MRI assets relates to the gain realized on the sale of the MRI assets.  The Company excludes this item as it is not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such items do not have a direct correlation to future business operations.
• Litigation and settlement related:  These expenses consist primarily of settlement, legal and other professional fees related to litigation.  The Company excludes these costs from its non-GAAP measures primarily because the Company believes that these costs have no direct correlation to the core operations of the Company.
• Acquisition related: relates to professional service fees due to acquisitions.  The Company does not consider these acquisition-related costs to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets.

On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as significant asset impairments, restructuring charges or significant gains or losses from contingencies that the Company may exclude if it believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.
