Vasomedical Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results

PLAINVIEW, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2015) -  Vasomedical, Inc. ("Vasomedical") (OTC PINK: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

"We are very excited to report a 128% year-over-year revenue growth at Vasomedical for the third quarter of 2015, during which our total revenue grew to $17.4 million from $7.6 million a year ago. The majority of the growth was from the acquisition of NetWolves, which we completed at the end of May 2015. Our existing operations also saw significant year-over-year growth of 13.8% and 7.2% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, respectively," stated Jun Ma, President and CEO of Vasomedical, Inc. "As a result, we recorded an operating profit of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, a positive change of $1.5 million from an operating loss of $149 thousand for the same quarter of 2014. The operating results for the first nine months of the year were even more encouraging, as we reported an operating profit of $1.3 million, a remarkable turnaround from last year's $1.4 million operating loss. Based on our performance year to date, we expect to be profitable again for the year 2015."

"The NetWolves acquisition successfully diversified our business and reduced our dependence on any single source of revenue. We also expect to see much improved profitability down the road as we continue to recognize the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier this year," added Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, revenue increased $9.8 million, or 128% year-over-year, to $17.4 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period of 2014. The increase was principally due to $8.7 million in revenue from our recently acquired NetWolves operations. Sales Representation segment revenue increased $1.2 million, or, 18% to $7.6 million for the third quarter, due primarily to increased commission rates and increased equipment deliveries during the quarter, while revenue from the Equipment segment declined $217 thousand or 18% to $1.0 million, due primarily to a lower revenues from the EECP^® business.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 increased 83% to $9.9 million, compared with $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase is primarily due to $3.5 million of gross profit in the IT segment as a result of the NetWolves acquisition and an increase of $1.3 million in our Sales Representation segment, arising from higher commission rates in this segment, partially offset by lower gross profit in the Equipment segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2015 was $8.4 million or 48% of revenues, compared with $5.3 million, or 70% of revenues for the same period last year. The increase in SG&A expenditures is primarily due to the inclusion of the NetWolves operations for the quarter, partially offset by lower costs in our Equipment and Sales Representation segments.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.2 million, a significant improvement compared to the net loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2014. This improvement is principally due to an increase in gross profit as discussed above.

At September 30, 2015 the Company had net cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease is principally due to the cash used for the NetWolves acquisition in May 2015.
