Digirad Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq: DRAD; DRADP) (“Digirad” or the “Company”) reported today its financial results for the third quarter (Q3) and nine months (9M) ended September 30, 2019.
As previously announced, on September 10, 2019 Digirad completed the acquisition of ATRM Holdings, Inc. (“ATRM”) and transformed from a healthcare services provider into a diversified holding company (“HoldCo”) with three business divisions: Healthcare, Building & Construction, and Real Estate & Investments. The acquisition of ATRM was completed by way of a merger between ATRM and a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with ATRM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.Q3 2019 Financial Highlights vs. Q3 2018 *Total revenue increased to $28.3 million from $25.7 million
Gross profit increased to $5.2 million from $4.4 millionNet loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million and included $1.1 million of merger related expenses; this compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $2.0 million from $1.6 million*Digirad’s Q3 2019 results include financial and operational data of the two newly created divisions – Building & Construction and Real Estate & Investments from September 11, 2019 to September 30, 2019.  There were no operational or financial data recorded in the 2018 period from these two divisions.Jeff Eberwein, Chairman of Digirad, noted, “Following the acquisition of ATRM we are now operating as a HoldCo, the mandate of which is to maximize long-term shareholder value through high-return internal investments that promote revenue growth, operating efficiencies, and cash flow generation. In that regard, we have established a Shared Services Center (“SSC”) which, once fully operational, should provide cost savings throughout the Company and its subsidiaries that will likely grow over time with additional acquisitions.”“Our two-fold growth strategy is to:Organically grow our existing business divisions by focusing on higher margin segments such as camera sales and mobile scanning services in our Healthcare division, and increasing the utilization rate at existing factories and opening idle facilities to fully take advantage of the significant market opportunities available in our Building & Construction division.
Seek attractive acquisition opportunities in two categories: bolt-on acquisitions for our existing platform companies, and acquisitions that create new platform companies for the Company.”RevenuesThe Company’s total Q3 2019 revenues increased by 10% to $28.3 million from $25.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. 9M 2019 total revenues of $78.0 million slightly decreased from 9M 2018 revenues of $78.3 million.Revenues for the Healthcare division for both Q3 and 9M periods of 2019 slightly decreased from respective periods of 2018 due to the sale of our Telerhythmics business in October 2018. Telerhythmics’ revenues for Q3 2018 and 9M 2018, were $0.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively. This division’s core business remains strong with higher revenues from the sale of cameras and scanning services.Gross ProfitQ3 2019 gross profit of our Healthcare division increased by 9.6% from prior year’s same quarter, driven by higher scan volume and higher utilization rate of our imaging systems. Gross profit for the 9M 2019 period was lower due to higher material variance costs from scrapped equipment in the Diagnostic Imaging business.Operating ExpensesQ3 2019 marketing, sales, general and administrative (MSG&A) expenses slightly increased by 3.4% or $0.2 million from the same period of 2018, mainly due to increased expenses from the Building & Construction Division and offset by lower headcount and reduced costs for contracted outside services particularly in the information technology (IT) and human resources (HR) areas from the Healthcare division. Our 9M 2019 MSG&A expenses decreased by 6.3% to $14.6 million, compared to the same period of 2018 due to lower salaries and benefits resulting from lower headcount following the sale of our Telerhythmics business in October 2018 and reduced costs for contracted outside services particularly in IT and HR areas as a result of steps we took to streamline our internal operations.Furthermore, the HoldCo structure will enable Digirad to reduce corporate overhead costs by consolidating certain marketing, sales and administrative functions thus generating cost savings and improved earnings. The Company expects to begin realizing meaningful benefits of the HoldCo structure in 2020.Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDAQ3 2019 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations rose to $2.0 million from $1.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to higher revenues from sale of cameras and from our high-margin mobile scanning services. 9M 2019 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to $4.9 million, compared to $5.2 million in the same period in the prior year, reflecting higher equipment material costs.Net lossQ3 2019 net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter was $1.5 million, or $0.74 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year. Q3 2019 non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations was $14 thousand, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year.9M 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $4.6 million, or $2.27 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $2.9 million, or $1.45 per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year. 9M 2019 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations decreased to $0.9 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.78 per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year.The increase in net loss from continuing operations in both Q3 2019 and 9M 2019 periods was mainly due to non-recurring legal costs, other expenses, totaling $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of ATRM and establishment of HoldCo.Operating cash flowQ3 2019 cash flow from operation was an outflow of $1.1 million, compared to an outflow of $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year. 9M 2019 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $0.8 million, compared to an inflow of $2.2 million for the same period in the prior year.Free Cash FlowThe Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, plus net dispositions and estimated level of one-time acquisition related net working capital adjustment at the closing date. The Company believes that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations.Q3 2019 non-GAAP free cash flow was an inflow of $0.4 million for the third quarter, compared to an outflow of $0.4 million in the same quarter in the prior year. 9M 2019 non-GAAP free cash flow was an inflow of $1.6 million, compared to an inflow of $2.1 million in the same period in the prior year.Net operating loss (NOL)Finally, Digirad Corporation has approximately $83.7 million of usable net operating losses (“NOL”) in the U.S. as of yearend 2018, which the Company considers to be a very valuable asset for its stockholders. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has a charter amendment in place that limits beneficial ownership of Digirad common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval. Digirad’s NOL is expected to increase in 2019 due to operating results.Conference Call InformationA conference call is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EDT on November 14, 2019 to discuss the results and management’s outlook.
