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, 2014.
“The first quarter of 2014 represented our seventh consecutive quarter
of year-over-year revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA, driven by
a 32% increase in Therapy revenues. In addition, we are pleased to
report that recurring service and supply revenue from Therapy and Cancer
Detection grew 39% compared with the same period in 2013. These results
provide a solid revenue foundation for future quarters,” said Ken Ferry,
President and CEO of iCAD.
“Recurring service and supply revenue in our Therapy business nearly
doubled compared with the year-ago quarter and underscores an expanding
customer base and higher procedure volume, especially for the treatment
of non-melanoma skin cancer. In addition, we believe that the growing
body of clinical evidence will drive more widespread adoption of Xoft
electronic brachytherapy for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers
and certain breast cancers. We are very early in the adoption curve with
the Xoft system and believe that our investments in clinical studies,
education and awareness of the clinical benefits will accelerate growth
throughout 2014 and beyond.
“During the first quarter, we significantly strengthened our balance
sheet with an underwritten public offering of common stock that raised
approximately $28.2 million after expenses. Over time, we plan to focus
our investments to further accelerate adoption in both the Therapy and
Cancer Detection businesses,” added Mr. Ferry.
First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue: Total revenue for the first
quarter of 2014 increased 7.4% to $8.5 million from $7.9 million for the
first quarter of 2013, reflecting a 32% increase in Therapy revenue
partially offset by a 10% decline in Cancer Detection revenue.
Therapy revenue included Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy System®
product sales, as well as the associated service and supply revenue.
Cancer Detection revenue included film, digital mammography, MRI and CT
CAD platforms, as well as service and supply revenue from these products.

quarter of 2014 increased to $5.9 million, or 69.6% of revenue, from
$5.6 million, or 71.2% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2013. The
lower gross profit percentage was primarily due to higher Therapy
revenue that currently has a lower gross profit percentage.
Operating Expenses: Total operating
expenses for the first quarter of 2014 increased to $6.4 million from
$6.0 million for the same period in 2013, as a result of higher sales,

EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined below, was $447,000 for

adjusted net loss, as defined below, for the first quarter of 2013 was

underwritten public offering of 2.76 million common shares at a price of
$11.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately
$28.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO COMPARABLE GAAP
MEASURES
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
The following is a reconciliation of the non-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 of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures."
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying
performance of the Company's business operations, investors are reminded
to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as
a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial
measures may be different from non-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 of Non-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 certain non-cash or non-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. These non-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 certain non-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 these
non-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 provision for taxes, acquisition-related expenses, total
other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation
and amortization, severance, gain on sale, loss on warrant, amortization
of acquired intangibles, acquisition related, patent litigation and
recall costs, contingent consideration, indemnification asset and
goodwill impairment charges. Management considers this non-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 defines "Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss" as the sum of GAAP net
loss before provision for the gain on sale of asset, severance,
transaction, patent litigation and recall costs, contingent
consideration, indemnification asset and goodwill impairment charges.
Management considers this non-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
applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons
set forth with respect to that excluded item:
-
Stock-based compensation expense: excluded as these are non-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: In January 2012, the Company entered into a
five-year, $15 million debt facility agreement. The Company excludes
interest expense from its non GAAP Adjusted EBITDA calculation.
-
Severance: relates to costs incurred due to the termination of certain
employees. The Company provides compensation to certain employees as
an accommodation upon termination of employment without cause.
Management believes that excluding severance costs from operating
results provides investors with a better means for measuring current
Company performance.
-
Gain (loss) on Warrant: The Company issued warrants in connection with
the financing and the value changes according to fair value. It is
excluded as these are non-cash expenses that management does not
consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the
performance of the Company's business, also because the total amount
of gain or loss 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 gain or loss is incurred.
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.
