·Backlog increased to a record $125.8 million.

Mark L. Weinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioClinica said, “Business continued to be solid across our eClinical and medical imaging offerings. This was another strong quarter of year-over-year growth in service revenue, and the 14.9% growth represents the strongest percentage year-over-year increase in more than two years.  The strong first quarter results reflect the increased adoption of our technologies by our customers who are benefitting from the economic and competitive advantages of BioClinica’s clinical trial solutions that are flexible, easy-to-use and integrate easily with other clinical processes and technology applications. We enjoyed another strong quarter of contract signings, with enterprise-wide and multi-product agreements important components of our success.  Our eClinical solutions were bolstered by agreements with several companies involved in large, late-stage trials, as well as by a steady stream of business from small and mid-tier pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Our medical imaging solutions showed strength as well, with significant opportunities in the CNS, musculoskeletal and oncology areas.”

“BioClinica’s strong relationship with Microsoft continues to be an advantage to us, as we enable our customers to leverage Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Office Suite investments to drive down cost and improve information accessibility and usability. Using the Microsoft platform enables us to develop and deploy new technologies in a cost-efficient and timely manner, ultimately resulting in economic benefits for our clients.  Our recently signed OnPoint CTMS agreements in both the U.S. and Europe, and the recent partnership agreements signed with NextDocs and Paragon Solutions, are just a few examples of how our Microsoft relationship has been an important component of our success,” he continued.

“Our medical imaging solutions are also benefitting from strategic partnerships,” he added.  “Our partnership with Mirada Medical enables us to offers clients the most sophisticated level of clinical analysis for oncology PET scan image processing, and extends the amount of support that we provide in oncology clinical trials.”

Mr. Weinstein concluded, “Our record backlog of $125.8 million bodes well for our continued revenue growth throughout the next several quarters. During the first quarter we experienced strong contract signings, and interest in our product suite continues to increase as we broaden our offerings.  We remain confident in our business model, and are reiterating our expectations for full-year 2012 service revenue to be in the range of $73 to $77 million, our full-year GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.26 to $0.32 per fully diluted share, and our full-year non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.36 to $0.42 per fully diluted share.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

BioClinica is providing information on 2012 and 2011 non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude certain items, as well as the related income tax effects, because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. The non-GAAP information excludes, certain of which are recurring in nature, the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, restructuring charges and merger and acquisition costs. We believe the non-GAAP information provides supplemental information useful to investors in comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in assessing our core operating performance and evaluating our ongoing business operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are included below in this press release.
