* Revenue of $29.0 million up 21% * Read volume of 600,386 up 27% * Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $6.5 million up 16% to 22.5% of revenue * Adjusted net income(2) of $3.6 million resulting in Adjusted diluted earnings per share(3) (EPS) of $0.21 * GAAP net income of $3.6 million; GAAP EPS of $0.21 * Cash and investments of $34.8 million; the Company has no debt * Shares repurchased totaled $1.9 million under the $8.0 million Share Repurchase Program
"We are pleased with our strong volume and revenue growth during the third quarter of 2008," said Sean Casey, Virtual Radiologic's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "High customer retention rates and new customer acquisitions at record levels, together with steps we have taken to strengthen our business and align our costs, give us the confidence that we are well positioned for future growth and profitability."
Third Quarter Results
Total revenues increased 21% to $29.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $24.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenue over the third quarter of 2007 resulted primarily from a 24% increase in the number of hospitals and medical facilities served to 978 as of September 30, 2008, which represents approximately 15% of all hospitals in the United States.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 16% to $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This increase resulted primarily from the growth in total revenues and was offset by corresponding increases in professional services and sales, general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted net income was $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, resulting in Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.21 and $0.19, respectively.
GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders was $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, compared to $(18.0) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, resulting in diluted earnings (loss) per share of $0.21 and $(2.22), respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments totaled $34.8 million at September 30, 2008 from $32.4 million at June 30, 2008.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter the Company completed share repurchases totaling $1.9 million under the $8.0 million share repurchase program announced on August 6, 2008. The program was subsequently completed on October 24, 2008, with a total of 944,760 shares repurchased at an average price of $8.44.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
Certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, in particular, statements about our plans, objectives, strategies and prospects regarding, among other things, our business and results of operations. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of Virtual Radiologic Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

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 an important indicator 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:
* Adjusted EBITDA -- operating income excluding the effects of
depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation
expense;
* Adjusted net income -- net income available to common stockholders
excluding the effects of non-controlling interest, non-cash
stock-based compensation, net of tax, non-recurring financing charges,
preferred cash dividends paid and Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock accretion;
* Adjusted diluted earnings per share -- Adjusted net income divided by
Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding; and
* Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding -- weighted average diluted
shares outstanding plus weighted average Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding, common share equivalents and the additional weighted
average common shares that would have been outstanding had the
Company's initial public offering been completed as of the beginning
of the applicable reporting period.
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 its 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.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding are not measurements of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, earnings per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA consists of operating income excluding the
effects of depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based
compensation expense. See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" and "Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP
Reconciliations" for more information related to Adjusted EBITDA.
(2) Adjusted net income consists of net income available to common
stockholders excluding the effects of non-controlling interest,
non-cash stock-based compensation, net of tax, non-recurring
financing charges, preferred cash dividends paid and Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock accretion.
See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
and "Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations"
for more information related to Adjusted net income.
(3) Adjusted diluted earnings per share consists of Adjusted
net income divided by Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding. See
"Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and
"Supplemental Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliations" for more
information related to Adjusted diluted earnings per share.
