RadNet Reports First Quarter Financial Results and Adjusts Upwards Several 2014 Guidance Ranges
  • Despite an estimated $8-$10 million negative revenue impact from severe weather and Medicare reimbursement cuts, Adjusted EBITDA (1) increased 8.2%, from $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $27.7 in the first quarter of 2014
  • Implementation from the previously announced $30 million cost savings initiatives enhanced operating margins
  • Same-center revenue from centers not impacted by the east coast extreme weather conditions increased 4.2% from last year's first quarter
  • Procedural volumes are benefitting from the over 8 million enrollees in state and privately managed health insurance exchanges, including over 1.4 million enrollees in California
  • Completed the refinancing of its junior debt capital during the quarter, yielding over $5 million of annual interest cost savings, increasing financial flexibility and extending maturities
  • Ignoring the loss from debt extinguishment associated with the refinancing, RadNet narrowed its net loss by approximately $300 thousand as compared to the first quarter of 2013
  • Recognized approximately $1.8 million in Meaningful Use incentives from the implementation of its Information Technology solutions; RadNet expects to recognize up to an additional $6 million of these incentives over the next three years
  • Updated 2014 guidance levels, increasing Adjusted EBITDA (1) , lowering cash interest expense and increasing free cash flow levels

LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2014 (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 250 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its first quarter of 2014.

Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "We overcame significant obstacles during the first quarter, including the most severe winter weather conditions we faced in the last decade and the impact beginning January 1 st of the previously estimated $22 million of annual Medicare cuts. We estimate that these factors negatively impacted us by between $8 million and $10 million of revenue and between $5 million and $7 million of Adjusted EBITDA (1) during the quarter. I'm proud that the early success of the $30 million cost savings initiatives we announced late last year enabled us to more than mitigate these headwinds. Our Adjusted EBITDA (1) increased by 8.2% over last year's first quarter, and our Adjusted EBITDA (1) margin increased 160 basis points over the same time period."

Dr. Berger continued, "Besides cost reduction measures, also contributing to our strong performance in the quarter were robust procedural volumes outside of our northeast operations. We are beginning to benefit from the more than 8 million new patients as of March 31, 2014 who entered the healthcare delivery system as part of the state sponsored and privately managed healthcare exchanges. California alone, our largest market, benefited from over 1.4 million new healthcare enrollees. In California, we drove same-center revenue increases of slightly over 4% as compared to the first quarter of 2013. This performance and strong procedural volumes in all of our geographies throughout March, April and into May give me encouragement and confidence about the remainder of 2014. As a result, we have revised our 2014 guidance upwards for several of our financial metrics."

Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2014, RadNet reported Revenue of $168.9 million, Adjusted EBITDA (1) of $27.7 million and Net Loss (excluding the tax adjusted loss on extinguishment of debt) of $1.1 million, respectively. Revenue decreased $4.1 million (or 2.4%), Adjusted EBITDA (1) increased $2.1 million (or 8.2%) and Net Loss (excluding the tax adjusted loss from the extinguishment of debt) decreased $0.3 million, respectively, over the first quarter of 2013. Per share Net Loss (excluding the tax adjusted loss from the extinguishment of debt) for the first quarter was $(0.03), compared to a loss in the first quarter of 2013 of $(0.03) (based upon a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding of 40.0 million and 39.3 million for these periods in 2014 and 2013, respectively).

Affecting Net Loss in the first quarter of 2014 were certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items including: $1.0 million of non-cash employee stock compensation expense resulting from the vesting of certain options, restricted stock and warrants; $481,000 of severance paid in connection with headcount reductions related to cost savings initiatives; $246,000 loss on the sale of certain capital equipment; $1.8 million of combined non-cash amortization and write-off of Deferred Financing Expense and discount on issuance and refinance of debt related to financing fees paid as part of our existing credit facilities; and $15.5 million loss on the extinguishment of debt related to the Company's March 25, 2014 refinancing of its senior unsecured notes with a new second lien term loan.

Aggregate and same-center procedural volumes were negatively impacted from the sever east coast weather conditions. For the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the prior year's first quarter, MRI volume decreased 0.7%, CT volume was flat and PET/CT volume decreased 2.7%. Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, decreased 0.4% over the prior year's first quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet for both the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, MRI volume decreased 0.8%, CT volume decreased 1.2% and PET/CT volume decreased 2.7%. Overall same-center volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, decreased 1.1% over the prior year's same quarter.

Refinancing Transaction

On March 25, 2014, the Company completed an amendment of, and $30 million increase to its existing senior secured first lien credit facility and entered into a new senior secured $180 million second lien term loan facility.

Proceeds from the increase to the first lien term loan and the new second lien term loan were used in part to finance the payment of total consideration payable to holders of RadNet Management's $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10 3/8% Senior Notes due 2018.

Mark Stolper, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, "Our recent refinancing will result in lower cash interest obligations of approximately $5.1 million per year. Additionally, the refinancing provides us with more operating flexibility and lengthens the maturity of our most junior debt capital."

"We face no near-term maturities. As a result of the refinancing transaction, our first lien term loan matures in 2018 and our new second lien term loan matures in 2021. This allows our management focus to be dedicated to operating our business and driving strategic initiatives," added Mr. Stolper.

2014 Guidance Update

RadNet updates the previously announced 2014 fiscal year guidance ranges as follows:

  Original 2014 Guidance New 2014 Guidance Change
Revenue (a) $700 million - $730 million $700 million - $730 million Unchanged
Adjusted EBITDA (1) $110 million - $120 million $112 million - $122 million +$2 million
Capital Expenditures (b) $40 million - $45 million $40 million - $45 million Unchanged
Cash Interest Expense $38 million - $42 million $34 million - $38 million -$4 million
Free Cash Flow Generation (c) $30 million - $40 million $34 million - $44 million +$4 million
 
(a)  Service Fee Revenue, net of contractual allowances plus Revenue under capitation arrangements.
(b)  Net of proceeds from the sale of equipment, imaging centers and joint venture interests.
(c) Defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA(1) less total capital expenditures and cash paid for interest.

Dr. Berger highlighted, "We are focused on repaying debt and generating free cash over the next 12 months. From April 1 st of this year through March 31, 2015, we will repay over $26 million of our first lien term loan and capital lease debt. Having aggressively invested in our center-level assets throughout the past 5 years, we estimate our capital expenditures will be reduced to $25 million to $35 million over this same period. Furthermore, we have identified over $10 million of additional cost savings measures from certain additional programs such as revenue cycle management and billing and collection initiatives and from the renegotiation of equipment service and vendor contracts. Hence, free cash flow generation should be extremely strong between now and the end of next year's first quarter."

Dr. Berger added, "Although tuck-in acquisitions at multiples of three to four times EBITDA of multimodality operations in our core markets remain part of our strategy, we do not anticipate at this time deploying significant capital to affect these transactions in the coming months. Instead, our focus continues to be preserving RadNet as the cost-efficient, highest quality provider in the marketplace. Growth will come mainly from driving more patient volume through existing centers, additional capitation contracts and more joint venture relationships, such as what we recently announced with Kennedy Health System, with hospitals and healthcare systems. We are also working more closely with private payors who are interested in directing their patients to lower cost, non-hospital imaging settings. Finally, as part of our eRAD implementation, expected to be complete by this time in 2015, we recognized approximately $1.8 million of Meaningful Use government incentives during the quarter. We expect to receive up to an additional $6 million over the next three years from these incentives."

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.
