LOS ANGELES, Calif., November 9, 2010 – RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 192 fully-owned and operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results, including record revenues, for its third quarter of 2010.
Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented “We continue to improve our financial and operating performance. Our Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and aggregate procedural volumes not only increased from last year’s third quarter, but also illustrated sequential improvement when compared with the first and second quarters of this year. Based upon annualizing the financial results of our last two quarters, we are on a very strong run-rate as we approach the end of this year and the beginning of 2011. We are further encouraged by preliminary procedural volume reports we have reviewed from October, which suggest that our momentum is carrying strongly into the fourth quarter.”
Dr. Berger continued, “We are continuing to find ways to improve the efficiency of our general operating activities and maintain growth, despite industry statistics reporting a decrease in physician office visits and a difficult economy in 2010. As a result, we were able to improve our Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins in the quarter. I believe that this positions us for significant financial improvement when a more normalized utilization of healthcare services returns. Additionally, we believe that the strength of our unique operating model and scale will further distance ourselves from competitors, many of whom are struggling from the lower utilization levels in healthcare.”
“More recently, we focused on expanding the scope of our business activities within the radiology industry. We endeavor to become a more diversified provider to the radiology industry, broadening our revenue streams beyond that which are derived from owning and operating imaging facilities. Most recently, this is illustrated by our acquisition of eRAD, a provider of Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) to the industry. We are pursuing further opportunities which we believe will result in our ability to offer certain core competencies of ours to hospitals, imaging centers and other participants in our industry. We also expect that, as compared with our core business of owning and operating outpatient medical imaging centers, these newer product and servi ce offerings will require less ongoing capital investment,” added Dr. Berger.
Third Quarter Financial Results
For the third quarter of 2010, RadNet reported Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Net Loss of $140.1 million, $28.0 million and $(285,000), respectively.

Excluding non-cash losses and expenses from the mark-to-market of our interest rate swaps of $821,000, disposal of equipment of $451,000 and stock compensation of $793,000, RadNet would have reported Net Income of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010 compared with a Net Loss of $(943,000), or $(0.03) per share, for 2009 excluding those same non-cash losses and expenses.

Footnotes
(1) The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations and excludes losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, other income or loss, loss on debt extinguishments, bargain purchase gains and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or extraordinary and one-time events taken place during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as analytical indicator by RadNet management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is theref ore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
(2) As noted above, the Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less total Capital Expenditures (whether completed with cash or financed) and Cash Interest paid. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses Free Cash Flow because the Company believes it provides useful information for investors and management because it measures our capacity to generate cash from our operating activities. Free Cash Flow does not represent total cash flow since it does not include the cash flows generated by or used in financing activities. In addition, our definition of Free Cash Flow may differ from definitions used by other companies.
Free Cash Flow should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
