FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

AMERICAN CARESOURCE HOLDINGS ANNOUNCES

STRONG THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

- Company reports Q3 profit of $188 thousand, or $0.01 per share -

 

DALLAS, TX – November 12, 2007 -- American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (AMEX: XSI) today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Highlights include:

 

The Company reported a quarterly profit of $188 thousand in net income, or $0.01 per share – a first in its ten year history.

Achieved $7.1 million in revenue for the quarter, a record 114% rise in revenues for Q3 2007 compared to Q3 2006.

Achieved two consecutive quarters of 77% quarter over quarter growth from Q1 2007 to Q3 2007. This is the largest increase in sequential revenue in the Company’s history.

The Company generated EBITDA, as adjusted, of $357 thousand for the quarter and $(306) thousand year to date.

 

EBITDA, as adjusted, is defined as income (loss) from operations less depreciation and amortization, non-cash warrant and option compensation expense and executive severance. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, income (loss) from operations reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Claims volume increased to 40,317 for Q3 2007, up 139% over Q3 2006.

Recent key executive changes to lead the Company:

 

David S. Boone promoted to Chief Executive Officer

 

Steven J. Armond appointed Chief Financial Officer

 

Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 rose 114% to $7.1 million compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported revenues of $13.4 million, a 55% increase compared to revenues of $8.6 million in the same period of 2006.

 

The Company reported net income of $188 thousand, or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter of 2007, compared to a net loss of $116 thousand, or $0.01 per share, in the same period last year. Factors affecting positive current quarter results include increases in revenue from Texas True Choice and HealthSmart, and the implementation of AAG and InterPlan Health Group.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of $1,139 thousand, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $641 thousand, or $0.05 per share, for the same period in 2006. Excluding the one time charge for the departure of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $801 thousand.

 

Cash provided by operations was $143 thousand in the third quarter of 2007 versus cash used of $177 thousand in the third quarter of 2006. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2006.

 

Commenting on the Company’s most recent results, David S. Boone, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “We are pleased with our third quarter results, which we believe reflect the progress we are achieving along a number of financial milestones. Most importantly, we believe that this increase in revenue demonstrates an inflection point in our evolution as a Company.

 

"We recently welcomed Steve Armond to the executive team as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In this position, and given his deep experience in financial management, planning and analysis and corporate administration, Steve will play a critical role in seeing that American CareSource achieves both its financial and operational milestones going forward. We are glad to have him aboard.”
