There were no operational or financial data recorded in the 2018 corresponding periods from these two divisions.Jeff Eberwein, Chairman of Digirad, noted, “FY 2019 was a transition year for Digirad. With the acquisition of ATRM we are now operating and reporting financial results as a HoldCo with three business divisions. For Q4 2019, which reflects a full quarter of operations as a HoldCo, as compared to the same period of 2018, we reported higher revenue and gross profit. These improvements were mainly due to additional revenue and gross profit generated by our recently established Building & Construction division and the steps taken to increase sales of higher margin products in our Healthcare division.“For FY 2020, as previously announced, our focus will be on growing our business organically by expanding higher margin segments such as camera sales and mobile scanning services in our Healthcare division, and increasing the utilization rate at existing factories and potentially opening an idle facility in our Building & Construction division. We will also seek bolt-on acquisitions for our existing platform companies and attractive acquisition opportunities to create new business for our HoldCo structure.”RevenueThe Company’s total Q4 2019 revenue increased by 39.4% to $36.1 million from $25.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. FY 2019 total revenue of $114.2 million increased by 9.6% from FY 2018 revenue of $104.2 million.Our Healthcare division’s business remains strong. Revenue for Q4 2019 increased mainly due to higher camera sales, while revenue for FY 2019 slightly decreased from FY 2018 due to the sale of our Telerhythmics business in October 2018. Telerhythmics’ revenue for Q4 2018 and FY 2018, was $0.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively.Gross ProfitGross profit of our Healthcare division for Q4 2019 and FY 2019 increased by 70.9% and 11.3%, respectively, from prior year’s same periods, driven by higher camera rental revenue, lower health insurance costs, and the sale of the low margin Telerhythmics business in October 2018.Operating ExpensesQ4 2019 selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 43.4% or $2.1 million from the same period of 2018, mainly due to SG&A increased expenses from the recently acquired Building & Construction Division (not recorded in the same reported periods of 2018), offset by lower headcount and reduced costs for contracted services particularly in the information technology (IT) and human resources (HR) areas from the Healthcare division. Our FY 2019 SG&A expenses increased by 5.5% or $1.1 million, compared to FY 2018 due to $2.0 million expenses from Building and Construction Division, offset by lower salaries and benefits resulting from lower headcount following the sale of our Telerhythmics business in October 2018 and reduced costs for contracted services particularly in IT and HR areas as a result of steps we took to streamline our internal operations.Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDAQ4 2019 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations rose to $2.8 million from $0.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to higher revenue from the sale of cameras and high-margin mobile scanning services. FY 2019 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $7.7 million, compared to $6.0 million in FY 2018 also reflecting higher revenue from the sale of cameras and high-margin mobile scanning services.Net lossQ4 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $0.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year. Q4 2019 non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations was $0.6 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share in the same period of the prior year.FY 2019 net loss from continuing operations was $4.9 million, or $2.40 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $3.8 million, or $1.90 per basic and diluted share in FY 2018. FY 2019 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $0.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $2.8 million, or $1.36 per basic and diluted share in the prior year.The improvement for both Q4 and FY 2019 reporting periods in non-GAAP measures was mainly due to higher revenue and margin improvements despite higher intangible amortization costs totaling $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and non-recurring legal costs and other expenses related to ATRM and establishment of HoldCo totaling $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to the acquisition of ATRM and establishment of HoldCo.Operating cash flowQ4 2019 cash flow from operations was an inflow of $1.2 million, compared to an inflow of $2.8 million for the same period in the prior year. FY 2019 cash flow from operations was an inflow of $0.4 million, compared to an inflow of $5.1 million for FY 2018.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 and estimated level of one-time acquisition related net working capital adjustment at the closing date. The Company believes that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations.Q4 2019 non-GAAP free cash flow was an inflow of $1.4 million, compared to an inflow of $2.9 million of the same quarter in the prior year. FY 2019 non-GAAP free cash flow was an inflow of $3.0 million, compared to an inflow of $5.0 million in FY 2018.Net operating loss (NOL)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. Digirad’s NOL is expected to increase in 2020 due to operating results.2020 Financial GuidanceFor FY 2020, the Company expects to generate revenue from continuing operations of between $125.0 million and $145.0 million, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of between $7.0 million and $9.0 million and free cash flow of between $4.0 million and $5.0 million.Conference Call InformationA conference call is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EST (7:00 a.m. PST) on March 6, 2020 to discuss the results and management’s outlook.
