  • RadNet further revises full-year 2022 guidance levels to reflect the impact on 2022 profitability as a result of rising costs and shortage of labor

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 349 owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2022.

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, “While I am pleased with our Revenue performance in the quarter, which continues to outpace our original projections, managing costs remains a significant challenge. Primarily, the higher costs and shortage of labor are impacting our Adjusted EBITDA(1) and profitability more than we anticipated at the beginning of the year. Though aggregate Revenue increased over 5% and same-center Revenue increased almost 4%, this performance would have been significantly better but for staffing shortages that impacted our ability to service the increasing demand for imaging in our markets. More recently, our hiring efforts have become more productive, which has allowed us to expand center operations, which should result in improved Revenue in the fourth quarter of this year and into 2023.”

“As we discussed throughout the year, a significant aspect of our growth strategy in the coming quarters is from expansion through de novo facilities. With respect to the 15 de novo centers in development we discussed earlier in the year, three locations have become operational and eight additional centers should begin generating Revenue by the end of the second quarter of next year. While some of these centers will require a ramp-up period, we anticipate that these facilities will be positive contributors to 2023,” added Dr. Berger.

Dr. Berger continued, “We continue to expand our outpatient, free-standing joint ventures with the objective of holding 50% of our imaging centers in partnership with community hospitals and large regional health systems. To that end, subsequent to the end of this quarter, our New Jersey Imaging Network (NJIN) joint venture acquired the outpatient radiology assets of Montclair Radiology, the owner of six imaging centers in northern New Jersey. For more than 75 years, Montclair Radiology has been a leading provider of diagnostic imaging, and the addition of Montclair should add more than 200,000 procedural exams and over $40 million of Revenue to NJIN. Additionally, on November 1st, we completed the expansion of our Arizona Diagnostic Radiology joint venture with Dignity Health, a member of CommonSpirit Health.   In conjunction with the expansion, Dignity Health in Arizona contributed three hospital-affiliated outpatient imaging centers into our existing partnership. The centers provide vital coverage and access to patients of targeted geographies within the greater Phoenix area, including desired capacity for women’s imaging. In addition to these newly contributed locations, by year-end 2022, the joint venture plans to open its 11th location, a 30,000 square foot multimodality facility called Park Central in proximity to downtown Phoenix.”

Dr. Berger added, “I’m also very pleased to announce that we have initiated a pilot of our new Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) service (https://myEBCDmammo.com) in Delaware. For an additional fee, patients can elect to enroll in a suite of premium mammography-related services, including the use of DeepHealth Saige-DX AI, personalized lifetime risk assessment, an additional AI-driven review for certain exams and access to a dedicated 1-800 support line. The innovative EBCD program is one of the most important endeavors the Company has pursued for our patients and we anticipate expanding this program to all RadNet markets during the first half of next year.”

Dr. Berger continued, “We recently announced the acquisition of a controlling interest in Heart&Lung Health (HLH), a London-based teleradiology network focused on lung cancer screening. HLH has established itself as the leading provider of lung cancer screening services to the UK National Health Service’s Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) program, which mandates the combined use of AI and expert radiologist interpretation for widespread population health lung cancer screening. HLH utilizes software from RadNet’s AI subsidiary, Aidence, and it is anticipated that the program could drive over one million lung scans in England alone when the program becomes fully implemented, which is targeted by the end of 2026. This is RadNet’s first example of combining specialty teleradiology interpretation services with AI algorithms to enable a comprehensive cancer screening program.”

Dr. Berger added, “We believe the opportunities for continuing consolidation could accelerate as a result of reimbursement pressures, challenged labor markets and rising interest rates. Our low financial leverage, less expensive cost of capital and greater liquidity places us in a favorable position to complete accretive acquisitions which may arise. Our cash balance at the end of the third quarter was over $95 million. We are undrawn upon our $195 million revolving credit facility. And, we are producing a substantial amount of free cash flow. In many instances, our scale and operating expertise provide us unique synergy and cost savings opportunities resulting from local market consolidation.”  

Dr. Berger concluded, “As a result of all the above, we are extremely optimistic and excited about the remainder of the year and our positioning as we move into 2023. We look forward to updating our stakeholders about our progress in relation to all of these growth and expansion initiatives in the coming quarters.”

Footnotes

(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and adjusted for losses or gains on the sale of equipment, other income or loss, debt extinguishments and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taken place during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

(2) As noted above, the Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less total Capital Expenditures (whether completed with cash or financed) and Cash Interest paid. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses Free Cash Flow because the Company believes it provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.

Free Cash Flow should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
