ALLIANCE HEALTHCARE SERVICES REPORTS RESULTS
FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2010
AND REAFFIRMS FULL YEAR 2010 GUIDANCE
NEWPORT BEACH, CA—April 28, 2010—Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc. (NYSE:AIQ) (the “Company” or “Alliance”), a leading national provider of outpatient diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy services, announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $118.7 million compared to $131.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 10.0%. On a sequential quarter basis, revenue decreased 0.7% from $118.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $119.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Alliance’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was $40.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $47.8 million in the first quarter 2009, a decrease of 16.0%. On a sequential quarter basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.1% from $40.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $38.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Earnings (loss) per share on a diluted basis, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), were ($0.04) per share in the first quarter of 2010 and $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2009. In the first quarter of 2010 earnings (loss) per share on a diluted basis were impacted by fair value adjustments related to interest rate swaps of ($0.01) per share, severance and related costs and mergers and acquisitions transaction costs of ($0.01) per share in the aggregate and ($0.01) per share due to a lower GAAP income tax rate than our historical income tax rate. Alliance’s historical income tax rate has been between 42% and 43%, specifically 42.2% in the first quarter of 2009, rather than the GAAP income tax benefit rate of 22.1% in the first quarter of 2010.
Alliance’s net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP, totaled ($2.2) million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to net income of $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $30.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $32.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2010 were $20.2 million compared to $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Alliance opened 4 new fixed-site imaging centers in the first quarter of 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents were $114.2 million at March 31, 2010 and $111.9 million at December 31, 2009. The Company’s net debt, as defined above, divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, was 3.2x for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2010.
The Company’s total long-term debt (including current maturities) decreased to $660.0 million at March 31, 2010 from $667.9 million at December 31, 2009. The Company’s total debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 3.8x for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2010.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
(in thousands)
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s management, represents net income before: interest expense, net of interest income; income taxes; depreciation expense; amortization expense; net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; non-cash share-based compensation; severance and related costs; loss on extinguishment of debt; fees and expenses related to acquisitions and other non-cash charges included in other income (expense), net, which includes non-cash losses on sales of equipment. The components used to reconcile net income to Adjusted EBITDA are consistent with our historical presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.”
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, and believes it is a useful measure for investors, for a variety of reasons. Management regularly communicates its Adjusted EBITDA results and management’s interpretation of such results to its board of directors. Management also compares the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance against internal targets as a key factor in determining cash incentive compensation for executives and other employees, largely because management feels that this measure is indicative of how our diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology business is performing and is being managed. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a particularly useful comparative measure within the Company’s industry. The diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology industry continues to experience significant consolidation. These activities have led to significant charges to earnings, such as those resulting from acquisition costs, and to significant variations among companies with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense) and differences in taxation and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. In addition, management believes that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining non-cash share-based compensation expense among companies and from period to period, and the subjective assumptions involved in that determination, excluding non-cash share-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA enhances company-to-company comparisons over multiple fiscal periods and enhances the Company’s ability to analyze the performance of its diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology business.
Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical financial measure. These limitations include the fact that Adjusted EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense, income taxes and severance costs, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures, the replacement cost of assets or other recurring cash requirements of the Company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA also does not reflect any cost for equity awards to employees. In the future, the Company expects that it may incur expenses similar to the excluded items discussed above. Accordingly, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Management compensates for the limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical measure by relying on the Company’s GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering independently the economic effects of the items that are or are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Management also compensates for these limitations by providing GAAP-based disclosures concerning the excluded items in the Company’s financial disclosures. As a result of these limitations, however, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to any other GAAP measure of operating performance.

MRI REVENUE GAP
(in millions)
The Company utilizes the MRI revenue gap as a statistical measure of its MRI client losses and new client contracts. The MRI revenue gap is calculated by measuring the difference between (a) the quarterly MRI revenue run rate lost as a result of clients choosing to terminate contracts with the Company, excluding clients for which Alliance provides interim service and clients that the Company elects to terminate, and (b) projected quarterly new MRI revenue from new client contracts commencing service in the quarter.
The MRI revenue gap for the last eight calendar quarters and the last twelve month period ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:
