Digirad Corporation Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial ResultsPositive Trends in Both Product and Service Revenue and Margins Continue
POWAY, CA -- (Marketwire - April 27, 2012) - Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) today reported 2012 first quarter revenue of $13.0 million and an ending cash and available-for-sale securities balance of $29.1 million at March 31, 2012.
Digirad CEO Todd Clyde commented, "Positive changes in both internal organization and external business environment continued to accelerate during the first quarter at Digirad. Both sides of the business -- Product and DIS -- trended up sequentially in the first quarter over the fourth quarter of 2011. Demand for our portable ergo camera picked up in the first quarter as we sold twice as many units as in the prior quarter. On the service side, new physician groups are signing up for DIS days as reimbursement has stabilized and the positive clinical and economic drivers become clearer."
Clyde continued, "Our commercial activities and R&D efforts are now also picking up as we explore new ways to accelerate growth in our Product business. Those activities, combined with an enhanced, shareholder-driven Board and additions to the management team, are creating excitement in the organization as we look to the coming year. In 2012, we expect to generate positive cash flow from our DIS business and increase sales of both our cardiac and ergo cameras. We also continue to explore various strategic initiatives, including examining where our core solid state camera technologies can be applied with greater success in the marketplace."
First Quarter 2012 Summary
- Total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $13.0 million, compared to $14.2 million for the same period in the prior year and up from $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. DIS-only revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $9.3 million, compared to $9.6 million for the same period of the prior year and $9.0 million in the prior sequential quarter. Product revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.7 million, compared to $4.6 million for the same period of the prior year and $2.9 million in the prior quarter.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.7 million, or 28.3 percent of revenue, up from $3.5 million, or 24.8 percent of revenue, in the same period of the prior year and $3.1 million, or 26.0 percent of revenue, in the prior quarter driven by lower radiopharmaceutical costs and due to a one-time workers' compensation insurance refund.
- Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, or $0.07 loss per share, compared to net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.02 loss per share, in the same period of the prior year and a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.15 loss per share, in the prior quarter.
- Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities totaled $29.1 million, or $1.54 per share as of March 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities totaled $30.4 million, or $1.61 per share as of December 31, 2011. The primary use of cash in the quarter was related to the typical first quarter slowdown of collections associated with annual changes in payor coding. That impact is expected to reverse itself in the current quarter.
- During the first quarter of 2012, DIS asset utilization was 56.1 percent on 128 systems (nuclear and ultrasound), compared to 57.6 percent on 131 systems (nuclear and ultrasound) in the prior year first quarter and 56 percent on 130 systems (nuclear and ultrasound) in the prior quarter.
