NASHUA, N.H. (MAY 2, 2017) –iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer, today reported financial results for the three-months ended March 31, 2017.
First-Quarter 2017 Highlights:
| • | | First-quarter total revenue of $6.8 million |
| • | | Gross margin of $4.7 million or 69% |
| • | | GAAP Net Loss of $0.5 million |

“In the first-quarter of 2017, we achieved strong revenue growth compared to the prior year period. The growth reflects increased product sales in both our detection and therapy businesses in the U.S. and international markets,” said Ken Ferry, Chief Executive Officer. “Sales of PowerLook Tomo Detection and Mammo Detection Systems were particularly strong in the U.S. and international markets, significantly contributing to the year-over-year product sales growth. Moreover, with the Premarket Approval (PMA) of our PowerLook Tomo Detection by the FDA on March 24, 2017, we were pleased to generate initial sales of this latest innovation within days of the announcement in the U.S. We believe this underscores the underlying need for advanced interpretive software workflow tools to assist radiologists with the reading of 3D Tomo exams. In our U.S. reader study using PowerLook Tomo Detection, 20 radiologists read 240 Tomo exams with an average reduction in reading time of greater than 29% without compromise in detection accuracy.”
“As we look at additional growth drivers throughout 2017, we are making good progress adding customers in our skin brachytherapy business and procedure volume continues to grow nicely. We expect this business to become a more significant revenue catalyst over the course of the year,” added Mr. Ferry.

Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2017 decreased to $5.1 million from $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2016.

GAAP Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2017 was $(0.5) million, or $(0.03) per share, compared with net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(0.16) per share, for the first quarter of 2016. The GAAP Net Loss in Q1 2017 includes a gain on sale of the Company’s MRI assets of $2.5 million, which was considered anon-core asset. The sale was completed in January 2017 for $3.2 million.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was a loss of $(1.5) million for the first quarter of 2017, consistent withnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.5) million for the first quarter of 2016.

Please refer to the section entitled “Reconciliation ofNon-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 toNon-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
The following is a reconciliation of thenon-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to describe the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Explanation ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures.”

In addition, it should be noted that thesenon-GAAP financial measures may be different fromnon-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future.Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Explanation ofNon-GAAP Financial 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 properly understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certainnon-cash ornon-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. Thesenon-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 certainnon-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 thesenon-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, loss on disposal of assets, gain on sale of assets, gain from acquisition settlement, and acquisition related expenses. Management considers thisnon-GAAP financial measure to be an important 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.

Management excludes each of the items identified below from the applicablenon-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:
| • | | Stock-based compensation expense: excluded as these arenon-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 of acquired intangibles: acquisition-related expenses are reported at the time acquisition costs are incurred, and purchased intangibles are amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, these 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. |
| • | | Interest expense: The Company excludes interest expense which includes interest from the facility agreement, interest on settlement obligations and interest on capital leases, from itsnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA calculation. |
| • | | Gain on sale of MRI assets relates to the gain realized on the sale of the MRI assets. The Company excludes this item as it is not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such items do not have a direct correlation to future business operations. |
| • | | Litigation and settlement related: These expenses consist primarily of settlement, legal and other professional fees related to litigation. The Company excludes these costs from itsnon-GAAP measures primarily because the Company believes that these costs have no direct correlation to the core operations of the Company. |
| • | | Acquisition related: relates to professional service fees due to 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. |
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.
