NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. AIQ (the “Company” or “Alliance”), a leading national provider of outsourced radiology and radiation therapy services, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

First Quarter 2014 Highlights

  • Delivered $33.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), representing consistent results with prior year, when adjusted for one-time items in the first quarter of 2013, and planned investments outlined below.
  • Continued to generate strong cash flow, with $9.4 million reduction in net debt in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Oncology Division revenue grew by 13% in the first quarter of 2014, to $20.7 million, from $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2013.
  • Generated Adjusted Net Income Per Share (as defined below) of $0.28.

First Quarter 2014 Financial Results

“We are pleased by the first quarter performance of our oncology business, which is up 13% over the prior year period on a revenue basis. This strong growth is driven by significant increases in same store volumes for both linear accelerator and stereotactic radiosurgery, which increased by 13.7% and 4.4%, respectively, over the prior year. In addition, we benefited as a result of new revenue generated from Alliance Oncology's relationship with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Despite the impact of severe weather on our radiology service line around the country during the first quarter, Alliance Radiology revenues rebounded to plan levels in March and we have seen this performance carry forward into April,” stated Tom Tomlinson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Alliance HealthCare Services.”

Tomlinson continued, “We continue to be encouraged by the progress of our growth strategy, building towards our goal of being the indispensable partner of choice to our hospital customers, and delivering value across our radiology and radiation therapy service lines. We are confident that the steps we are taking to transform Alliance will help us differentiate our business model and drive continued success across our service offerings. We continue to expect improvement in healthcare services volumes, including increased patient flow, due to the Affordable Care Act, in the remaining portion of the year. Our focus on helping our hospital customers drive volume growth, and executing on our strategic plan gives us confidence that we will achieve full year guidance.”

Revenue for the first quarter of 2014 was $105.4 million compared to $110.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. Of the total $5.0 million decrease, the sale of our Professional Radiology Services business line in December 2013 and pruning of unprofitable business in our Imaging Division impacted the total by $3.9 million. Organically, first quarter 2014 revenue decreased by 1% compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Alliance's Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.3% to $33.0 million from $35.2 million in the first quarter of 2013. Of the $2.2 million decrease year over year, approximately $0.9 million was due to a prior year gain on the sale of an Oncology center and a one-time gain in one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we invested approximately $1 million to build our consultative, sales, marketing, and strategic business development capabilities through our Enhanced Value Proposition (EVP) offering to our hospital customers--now branded the Alliance RAD360 Program.

Alliance's net income, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), totaled $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 and ($2.4) million in the first quarter of 2013.

Alliance's historical income tax rate has been 42%, compared to the GAAP income tax rate of 43.8% in the first quarter of 2014 and 5.4% in the first quarter of 2013.

Net income on a diluted basis, computed in accordance with GAAP, increased to $0.18 per share in the first quarter of 2014 compared to ($0.23) per share for same quarter of 2013. Net income (loss) per share on a diluted basis was impacted by ($0.10) in the first quarter of 2014 and ($0.19) in the first quarter of 2013 in the aggregate due to restructuring charges, transaction costs, legal matter expenses and differences in the GAAP income tax rate from our historical income tax rate.

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. This increase was mainly attributed to strong collections on accounts receivable in addition to interest savings in connection with the debt refinancing completed during 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, capital expenditures were $5.7 million compared to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Alliance's net debt, defined as total long-term debt (including current maturities) less cash and cash equivalents, decreased $9.4 million to $485.6 million at March 31, 2014 from $495.0 million at December 31, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents were $29.1 million at March 31, 2014 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2013. As a result of the Company's successful term loan refinancing in 2013, the Company's net debt was increased by $16.5 million related to fees and expenses incurred and $3.1 million due to the change in the unamortized discount on the old and new term loans. The Company's net debt, as defined above, divided by the last twelve months Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was 3.34x for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to 3.66x for the twelve month period ended a year ago. The Company's total debt, as defined above, divided by the last twelve months Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was 3.54x for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to 3.88x for the twelve month period ended a year ago.

Tomlinson commented, “As we move further into 2014, the strong performance in our oncology division during the first quarter provides us increased confidence in our 2014 outlook and validates our full-service, partnership model. Our pipeline of new opportunities is growing and consistent with the commentary on our last call, we are investing in our sales and business development team. Within Alliance Radiology the team has made strong progress in building our RAD360 capabilities, including the recent acquisition of OnPoint's technology suite. Our team responded well to the challenging weather in Q1, resulting in positive same store volume in March for MRI. Additionally, we have a number of significant hospital and system strategic partnership opportunities in our business development pipeline. I remain confident these investments will enable us to unlock the significant growth potential of Alliance Radiology, ensure we remain focused on generating strong free cash flow, and create long-term growth for our shareholders.”

NON-GAAP MEASURES
(in thousands)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Per Share (the “Non-GAAP Measures”) are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or “GAAP.”

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company's management, represents net income (loss) before: interest expense, net of interest income; income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization expense; net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests; non-cash share-based compensation; severance and related costs; restructuring charges; fees and expenses related to acquisitions, costs related to debt financing, legal matter expenses, non-cash impairment charges, and other non-cash charges included in other (income) expense, net, which includes non-cash losses on sales of equipment. The components used to reconcile net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are consistent with our historical presentation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share, as defined by the Company's management, represents net income (loss) before: restructuring charges; fees and expenses related to acquisitions; legal matter expenses; and differences in the GAAP income tax rate compared to our historical income tax rate. The components used to reconcile net income (loss) per share to Adjusted Net Income Per Share are consistent with our historical presentation of Adjusted Net Income Per Share.

Management uses the Non-GAAP Measures, and believes they are useful measures for investors, for a variety of reasons. Management regularly communicates the results of its Non-GAAP Measures and management's interpretation of such results to its board of directors. Management also compares the Company's results of its Non-GAAP Measures against internal targets as a key factor in determining cash incentive compensation for executives and other employees, largely because management feels that these measures are indicative of how our diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology businesses are performing and are being managed. The diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology industry continues to experience significant consolidation. These activities have led to significant charges to earnings, such as those resulting from acquisition costs, and to significant variations among companies with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense) and differences in taxation and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. In addition, management believes that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining non-cash share-based compensation expense among companies and from period to period, and the subjective assumptions involved in that determination, excluding non-cash share-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA enhances company-to-company comparisons over multiple fiscal periods and enhances the Company's ability to analyze the performance of its diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology businesses.

In the future, the Company expects that it may incur expenses similar to the excluded items discussed above. Accordingly, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the Company's non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. The Non-GAAP Measures have certain limitations as analytical financial measures, which management compensates for by relying on the Company's GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering independently the economic effects of the items that are or are not reflected in the Non-GAAP Measures. Management also compensates for these limitations by providing GAAP-based disclosures concerning the excluded items in the Company's financial disclosures. As a result of these limitations and because the Non-GAAP Measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, however, the Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or as an alternative to any other GAAP measure of operating performance.

The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is shown below:

SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
SAME STORE VOLUME

The Company utilizes same store volume growth as a historical statistical measure of the MRI and PET/CT imaging procedure, linear accelerator treatment and SRS case growth at its customers in a specified period on a year-over-year basis. Same store volume growth is calculated by comparing the cumulative scan, treatment or case volume at all locations in the current year quarter to the same quarter in the prior year. The group of customers whose volume is included in the scan or treatment volume totals is those that received service from Alliance for the full quarter in each of the comparison periods. A positive percentage represents growth over the prior year quarter and a negative percentage represents a decline over the prior year period. Alliance measures each of its major imaging and oncology modalities, MRI, PET/CT, linear accelerator and SRS, separately.

The imaging division same store volume growth/(decline) for the last four calendar quarters ended March 31, 2014 is as follows:

 
Same Store Volume
MRI   PET/CT
2013
Second Quarter 0.0% 0.8%
Third Quarter 1.2% 1.6%
Fourth Quarter 2.1% -0.6%
 
2014
First Quarter -0.6% -6.1%
 

The oncology division same store volume growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is as follows:
