SUWANEE, Ga., May 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq: DRAD; DRADP) (“Digirad” or the “Company”) reported today its financial results for the first quarter (Q1) ended March 31, 2020.Q1 2020 Financial Highlights vs. Q1 2019 *Total revenue increased to $28.9 million from $23.9 millionGross profit increased to $4.4 million from $4.0 millionNet loss was $3.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 millionNon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to $0.5 million from $0.8 millionNon-GAAP free cash flow of $0.6 million versus $(2.1) million* Since September 10, 2019, Digirad has been operating as a diversified holding company (“HoldCo”) with three business divisions: Healthcare, Building & Construction, and Real Estate & Investments. Digirad’s Q1 2020 results include financial and operational data of the two newly created divisions – Building & Construction and Real Estate & Investments. No operational or financial data was recorded in the 2019 period for these two divisions.Jeff Eberwein, Chairman of Digirad, noted, “Similar to many other companies, our operations started to be impacted in Q1 2020 by the nationwide shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although scanning revenue for our Healthcare division started to decline in March, we believe we will be able to recover most of the lost revenue in the coming quarters once doctors offices and hospitals resume performing scanning procedures. Our Building & Construction division experienced delays in a couple of major commercial projects in Q1 2020, but we have built a substantial backlog over the last year which we believe will lead to strong revenue growth going forward.”Mr. Eberwein continued, “During the first quarter of 2020, we continued to execute on our HoldCo growth strategy and value enhancement initiatives which we believe will lead to increased revenue, cash flow, earnings and, ultimately, stockholder value. Over time we expect to use our cash flow to accelerate our growth by funding both internal growth investments and bolt-on acquisitions. We will also look to create new business divisions in the future through the disciplined acquisition of businesses, complementary to our holding company structure. In addition, we are exploring the potential divestiture of non-strategic assets.The growth strategy for our Building & Construction division is to expand the commercial construction business at KBS and as previously announced, KBS is currently involved in multiple discussions for several large commercial projects for the construction of multi-family housing units in the Greater Boston area. Even if just a few of these projects are awarded, they would require a significantly higher utilization rate for KBS’s manufacturing plant in South Paris, Maine and an increased investment in working capital. Three of these projects are in advanced stages of negotiation and are expected to start production in the coming months. If awarded, these three projects alone are expected to generate revenue of over $10 million for KBS through the production of nearly 250 building modules. In 2019, KBS generated approximately $12 million of revenue and produced approximately 230 building modules, entirely for the residential market using its South Paris, Maine plant. At full capacity, this plant can produce between 500 and 600 building modules per year. KBS has built a potential sales pipeline of more than $50 million (approximately 1,000 building modules) which, if fully materialized, could eventually require the re-opening of our currently idled Oxford, Maine plant, which also has production capacity of 500 to 600 building modules per year.”  RevenueThe Company’s total Q1 2020 revenue increased by 20.7% to $28.9 million from $23.9 million in the first quarter of the prior year.Revenue for the Healthcare division for Q1 2020 decreased from Q1 2019 due to a $0.9 million decline in scanning revenue, offset by a $0.3 million increase in camera sales. Starting in mid-March, many doctors offices temporarily closed and many hospitals stopped performing non-emergency procedures, tests, and scans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Gross ProfitQ1 2020 gross profit for the Healthcare division increased by 2.3% from the prior year’s quarter, due to an increase in mobile healthcare interim rental service, a favorable mix of services provided, and lower equipment maintenance costs.Operating ExpensesQ1 2020 marketing, sales, general and administrative (MSG&A) expenses increased by 28.9% or $1.4 million from the same period in the prior year, mainly due to expenses attributable to the Building & Construction division and as well as audit-related expenses related to the ATRM merger, which were not included in the prior year period.Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDAQ1 2020 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to $0.5 million from $0.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to lower revenue from high-margin mobile scanning services and general and administrative expenses from the Building & Construction division, not included in the prior year period.Net LossQ1 2020 net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was $3.0 million, or $1.44 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.82 per basic and diluted share in the same period in the prior year. Q1 2020 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $1.7 million, or $0.81 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.51 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year.Operating cash flowQ1 2020 cash flow from operations was an inflow of $0.6 million, compared to an outflow of $2.2 million for the same period in the prior year.Free Cash FlowThe Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, plus net dispositions of property and equipment, and the acquisition-related net working capital. The Company believes this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information about cash generation (or use) in our primary operations.Q1 2020 non-GAAP free cash flow was an inflow of $0.6 million, compared to an outflow of $2.1 million in the same quarter in the prior year period.Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL)Finally, Digirad Corporation has approximately $91.6 million of usable net operating losses (“NOL”) in the U.S. as of year end 2019, which the Company considers to be a very valuable asset for its stockholders. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has a charter amendment in place that limits beneficial ownership of Digirad common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval.COVID-19 Pandemic UpdateAs disclosed in the Company’s press releases issued on April 7, 2020, as well as in our S-1 issued on April 30, 2020, our business has begun to be adversely impacted by the recent COVID-19 outbreak and the accompanying economic downturn. This downturn, as well as the uncertainty regarding the duration, spread, and intensity of the outbreak, has led to an initial reduction in demand for our services. The expected timeline for this reduction in demand for our services remains uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape.The Company is vigilantly monitoring the situation surrounding COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to proactively address this situation as it evolves. Due to the flexibility of its workforce and the actions it is taking, the Company is confident it can continue to efficiently manage its business and mitigate risks in this challenging environment, while retaining the ability to meet clients’ needs when activity improves.Conference Call InformationA conference call is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. ET (8:00 a.m. PT) on May 15, 2020 to discuss the results and management’s outlook.
