LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2024 (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 399 owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its third quarter of 2024.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "We continue to demonstrate strong growth and record results in each of our Imaging Center and Digital Health reportable operating segments. Total Company Revenue grew 14.7% as compared with last year's third quarter to a record $461.1 million. The Digital Health segment Revenue of $16.4 million increased 34.3% from last year's same quarter. The strong growth in Digital Health was, in part, driven by the AI businesses, whose Revenue increased 75.8% as compared with last year's third quarter, mainly from the continuing success of the rollout of the Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) DeepHealth AI-powered screening mammography program.”
"Despite continued inflation in staffing costs, improved reimbursement from commercial and capitated payors, strong demand for advanced imaging modalities, the growth of the Digital Health businesses and effective cost controls resulted in an increase to Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins. Total Company Adjusted EBITDA(1) margin of 16.0% during this third quarter increased by 156 basis points over last year's third quarter,” added Dr. Berger.
"Given the positive trends we continue to experience in virtually all aspects of our business and the strong financial performance of the third quarter, we are revising upwards certain guidance levels in anticipation of financial results that we believe will exceed both our original expectations and the adjustments we made to the guidance ranges upon releasing our first and second quarter 2024 results. We have increased 2024 guidance ranges for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Free Cash Flow(2),” added Dr. Berger.
Dr. Berger continued, "In response to continued high demand for our services and notable patient backlogs in many of RadNet's local markets, we continue to expand capacity through the development and construction of new imaging centers. Since the start of the year, we have opened five new centers, and we anticipate opening an additional three centers before year end. Furthermore, we have 15 centers in various stages of construction and development which we intend to open during 2025.”
"We remain on pace for the commercial launch of DeepHealth OS at the RSNA convention this year taking place December 1st through 4th in Chicago. At our DeepHealth booth, we will be demonstrating the capabilities of the DeepHealth OS integrated end-to-end workflow solutions as well as our clinical AI tools. Last week, we announced our first customer for the DeepHealth OS software platform, and we are eager to introduce our DeepHealth solutions to prospective customers and partners at the convention,” explained Dr. Berger.
"RadNet's balance sheet continues to strengthen as our focus remains on driving same-center revenue performance and effective cost management. At quarter end, we had a cash balance of $748.9 million, and our leverage ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(1) was at a record low, slightly below 1.0,” concluded Dr. Berger.
Third Quarter Financial Results
For the third quarter of 2024, RadNet reported Total Company Revenue of $461.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $73.7 million. Revenue increased $59.2 million (or 14.7%) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $15.7 million (or 27.2%) as compared with the third quarter of 2023.

Revenue increased $4.2 million (or 34.3%) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $950,000 (or 41.7%) as compared with the third quarter of 2023. Digital Health Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth was due in part from a $2.2 million (or 75.8%) increase in AI Revenue, which climbed to $5.1 million during the third quarter of 2024.
Unadjusted for unusual or one-time items impacting the third quarter, Total Company Net Income for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.2 million as compared with a Total Company Net Income of $17.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. Fully diluted Net Income Per Share for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.04, compared with a fully diluted Net Income per share of $0.25 in the third quarter of 2023, based upon a weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding of 75.2 million shares in 2024 and 68.8 million shares in 2023.

Adjusting for the above items, Total Company Adjusted Earnings(3) was $13.3 million and diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share(3) was $0.18 during the third quarter of 2024. This compares with Total Company Adjusted Earnings(3) of $8.8 million and diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share(3) of $0.13 during the third quarter of 2023.
For the third quarter of 2024, as compared with the prior year's third quarter, MRI volume increased 14.6%, CT volume increased 15.5% and PET/CT volume increased 23.8%. Overall volume, taking into account routine imaging exams, inclusive of x-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other exams, increased 9.0% over the prior year's third quarter. On a same-center basis, including only those centers which were part of RadNet for both the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, MRI volume increased 9.9%, CT volume increased 9.8% and PET/CT volume increased 16.8%.

Unadjusted for one-time or unusual items, Total Company Net Loss for the first nine months of 2024 was $2.6 million as compared with a Total Company Net Income of $4.9 million for the first nine months of 2023.

"Based upon the consistent outperformance of the first three quarters of this year relative to our projections, we have increased guidance ranges of our core Imaging Center reporting segment for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1). Furthermore, despite increasing the Capital Expenditures guidance range by $10 million, we are expecting Free Cash Flow(2) to be higher for the year. This is the result of the projected increase in Adjusted EBITDA(1) and lower Cash Interest Expense. With respect to the Digital Health reportable segment, we remain on track to meet our original guidance levels for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Free Cash Flow(2).”
