• Non-GAAP Adjusted Net loss of $1.6 million or ($0.09) per diluted share compared to non-GAAP adjusted Net loss of $1.0 million or ($0.06) per share.

First Half 2019 Highlights:

• Detection product revenue of approximately $6.6 million, an increase of 33% over the first six months of 2018.
• Gross profit of $11.0 million, or 78%, in the first half of 2019 as compared to $9.3 million, or 74%, in the first half of 2018.

"We have built significant momentum throughout our business in the first half of 2019," said Michael Klein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iCAD, Inc.  "In Detection, our commercial launch of ProFound AI™, our latest, deep-learning, cancer detection software solution for digital breast tomosynthesis, continues to see increased market adoption, and our product mix is increasingly shifting to ProFound AI with each passing quarter.  Moreover, we are positioned to gain meaningful traction with this product in the second half of 2019.  Our recent announcement that that SimonMed Imaging, the largest physician owned imaging provider with 150 locations across the U.S., will be implementing ProFound AI in its centers, will have a positive impact on the second half of the year."

"Detection revenue was up 31% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2019, and 17% for the first half of the year, as compared to the same period in 2018," continued Mr. Klein.  "We are very pleased with this performance and are especially excited about the growing contributions from ProFound AI.  In Therapy, CMS' proposed Radiation Oncology Bundled Payment Model explicitly incentivizes providers to choose high quality, cost-effective care, which could strongly favor Xoft® IORT. We look forward to the potential implementation of this model in January or April 2020." 

"Our balance sheet is strong, bolstered by the recent $9.4 million financing.  We ended the second quarter with $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $12.2 million at the end of 2018.  We are in an excellent financial position to continue executing on our growth strategy," concluded Mr. Klein.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenue:  Total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $7.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 19%, compared to second quarter of 2018, reflecting a 37% increase in product revenue and flat service and supplies revenue.

Cancer Detection revenue for the second quarter, which includes revenue from our mammography, breast density, and CT Colon platforms, as well as the associated service and supplies revenue, increased by approximately $1.2 million as compared to the second quarter of 2018, driven by growth in the Company's 3D imaging and Density products with corresponding increases in both Direct and OEM revenues.  Therapy revenue, which includes Xoft^® Axxent® eBx^® System^® sales, as well as the associated service and supplies revenue, for the second quarter of 2019, was flat as compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Gross Profit:  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.7 million, or 78% of revenue, compared to $4.8 million, or 78% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2018.  Gross profit percent changes are primarily due to changes in the mix of business, consulting costs related to non-recurring engineering revenue, additional manufacturing investments and amortization of acquired intangibles.

Operating Expenses:  Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $7.2 million, a $1.5 million increase, or 26% increase, from the $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was driven by increased marketing and sales expenses in support of our commercialization efforts to drive adoption of Profound AI.

GAAP Net Loss:  Net loss for the second quarter of 2019 was ($3.5) million, or ($0.20) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of ($1.0) million, or ($0.06) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. GAAP Net Loss includes a $1.9 million non-cash charge associated with the fair value accounting treatment of our convertible debentures issued in December 2018.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, for the second quarter of 2019 was a loss of ($1.0) million, compared to a second quarter 2018 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of ($0.3) million.  Please refer to the section entitled "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable GAAP Measures" and the accompanying financial table included at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA results for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable GAAP Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. However, management believes that in order to understand the Company's short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations.  Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning.  These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in the Company's ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of the Company's ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management's ability to make useful forecasts.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance.  In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to its peers and competitors.

Management defines "Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA" as the sum of GAAP Net Loss before provisions for interest expense, other income, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, tax expense, severance, gain on sale of assets, loss on disposal of assets, acquisition and litigation related expenses.  Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a good measure of its historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact the Company's overall financial performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of the Company's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in its financial reporting and investor presentations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Management excludes each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:

• Interest expense: The Company excludes interest expense which includes interest from the facility agreement, interest on capital leases and interest on the convertible debentures from its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
• Stock-based compensation expense: excluded as these are non-cash expenses that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the Company's business, and also because the total amount of expense is partially outside of the Company's control as it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expense is incurred.
• Amortization and Depreciation: Purchased assets and intangibles are amortized over a period of several years and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after they are acquired. Accordingly, these non-cash items are not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations. Thus, including such charges does not accurately reflect the performance of the Company's ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
• Severance relates to costs incurred due to the termination of certain employees. The Company provides compensation to certain employees as an accommodation upon termination of employment without cause. Management believes that excluding severance costs from operating results provides investors with a better means for measuring current Company performance.
• Loss on fair value of convertible debentures.  The Company excludes this non-cash item as it is not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such item does not have a direct correlation to future business operations.
• Acquisition related: relates to professional service fees associated with acquisitions.  The Company does not consider these acquisition-related costs to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets.
• Litigation related: These expenses consist primarily of settlement, legal and other professional fees related to litigation. The Company excludes these costs from its non-GAAP measures primarily because the Company believes that these costs have no direct correlation to the core operations of the Company.

On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as significant asset impairments, restructuring charges or significant gains or losses from contingencies that the Company may exclude if it believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.
