BioTelemetry, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

 

Malvern, PA — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — October 30, 2014 — BioTelemetry, Inc. (NASDAQ:BEAT), the leading wireless medical technology company focused on the delivery of health information to improve quality of life and reduce cost of care, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

Company Highlights

 

·                  Revenue increased 35% to $43.1 million, which includes 9% organic growth

·                  Experienced ninth consecutive quarter of year over year revenue growth

·                  Serviced over 135,000 patients in the quarter, doubling the prior year volume

·                  Generated positive adjusted EBITDA of $6.0 million

·                  Announced the reinstatement of Cigna Corporation’s coverage of the MCOTTM service

 

President and CEO Commentary

 

Joseph Capper, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioTelemetry, Inc., commented: “We are pleased to report strong third quarter results, highlighted by revenue growth of 35% and our highest adjusted operating income in five years.  Our successful third quarter was driven by an increase in patient volume of 110%, to over 135,000 patients, due in part to our acquisitions of Mednet and BMS earlier this year as well as over 20% organic volume growth.  The leverage gained from the acquisitions, coupled with our organic growth, allowed us to achieve an EBITDA return of 14% despite the reduction in Medicare rates that occurred in January.

 

“Our results reflect the continued success we are having selling our comprehensive suite of monitoring services.  The positive impact of this strategy, along with the reinstatement of Cigna’s coverage of MCOTTM, is building momentum as we look forward to 2015.  We will gain additional leverage through the integration of the acquisitions as well as through operational efficiencies that have been identified in the base business.  As a result, we expect our business to continue to strengthen through the remainder of the year and into 2015.  Finally, as we look to the future, we will maintain our focus on solidifying our leadership position in cardiac monitoring, establishing a leading research services business and leveraging our existing infrastructure in new markets.”

 



 

Third Quarter Financial Results

 

Revenue for the third quarter 2014 was $43.1 million compared to $31.9 million in the third quarter 2013, an increase of $11.2 million or 35.3%.  Approximately $8.5 million of the total increase was related to the acquisitions of Mednet and BMS.  Excluding acquisitions, the remaining increase was due to increased volume in the Patient Services and Product segments which was partially offset by the previously announced price reduction from Medicare, as well as reduced rates from commercial contracts tied to Medicare.  In addition, our Research Services segment declined $1.2 million due to a strong third quarter last year as well as several studies that were completed earlier than expected.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, patient revenue was comprised of 42% Medicare and 58% commercial.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter 2014 increased to $23.7 million, or 54.9% of revenue, compared to $19.2 million, or 60.3% of revenue, in the third quarter of 2013.  Gross profit for the third quarter 2014 on an adjusted basis was $24.2 million, or 56.2% of revenue, excluding $0.6 million related to nonrecurring charges.  This compares to gross profit for the third quarter 2013 on an adjusted basis of $19.4 million, or 61.0% of revenue, excluding $0.2 million related to nonrecurring charges.  The decrease in the adjusted gross profit percentage was primarily related to the lower margin patient mix from the acquisitions, which had an impact of 450 basis points.  The benefit from the organic patient growth was offset by the reduction in reimbursement rates.

 

On a GAAP basis, operating expenses for the third quarter 2014 were $23.2 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to $22.1 million in the third quarter 2013.  On an adjusted basis, operating expenses for the third quarter were $22.1 million, a 16.6% increase compared to $19.0 million for the prior year quarter.  These adjusted operating expenses exclude $1.0 million in the third quarter 2014 primarily due to integration activities, patent litigation and other legal fees, and $3.1 million in the third quarter 2013 primarily related to patent litigation, integration activities and costs associated with the creation of the holding company structure.  The increase in adjusted operating expense was driven by the addition of Mednet and BMS.  Adjusted operating expense in the base business was slightly lower due to a decrease in headcount related and meeting expense.

 

On a GAAP basis, the Company was breakeven for the third quarter 2014, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million, or a loss of $0.12 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013.  Excluding expenses related to integration, restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, adjusted net income for the third quarter 2014 was $1.6 million, or income of $0.06 per diluted share.  This compares to adjusted net income of $0.3 million, or income of $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013, which excludes the impact of integration, restructuring and other nonrecurring charges.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2014, total cash was $12.2 million, a decrease of $10.0 million compared to December 31, 2013.  The significant uses of cash during the year to date period included $10.0 million for capital expenditures, primarily for medical devices and the development of a new Patient Services operating system, and $6.1 million for the acquisitions of Mednet and Radcore.  In addition, as of September 30, 2014, the Company had $17.5 million of debt, $9.5 million of which was assumed in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Mednet and $8.0 million from the Company’s credit facility that was used in connection with the purchase of BMS.
