MINNEAPOLIS, July 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Virtual Radiologic Corp. (Nasdaq:VRAD), a leading national provider of teleradiology services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Results

Total revenues increased 22% to $25.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $21.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase in revenue over the second quarter of 2007 resulted primarily from a 25% increase in the number of hospitals and medical facilities served to 939 as of June 30, 2008, which represents approximately 15% of all hospitals in the United States.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This increase resulted primarily from continued gross margin improvement due to improved radiologist efficiency during the second quarter of 2008, brought about by continuing advancements in both our distributed network infrastructure and our radiologist support services.

Adjusted net income was $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, resulting in Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.13 and $0.08, respectively.

GAAP net income was $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, resulting in diluted earnings (loss) per share of $0.12 and $(3.27), respectively.

Unusual items included in the second quarter 2008 results totaled approximately $525,000. The two unusual items are included in sales, general and administrative expense and relate to the payment of a deductible on a medical malpractice claim and a bad debt charge. When these items are excluded from the second quarter 2008 results, Adjusted EBITDA increases to $5.6 million and Adjusted net income increases to $2.5 million, resulting in $0.15 Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $32.4 million at June 30, 2008 from $33.5 million at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. The $6.0 million acquisition of Diagna Radiology closed during the second quarter 2008 and was financed from second quarter cash flows. The Company has no debt.

2008 Guidance

The Company provides the following updates to the guidance previously issued for 2008:

* The Company expects revenue ranging from $108 million to $111 million * Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range from $25 million to $27 million * The Company expects Adjusted net income to range from $12 million to $13 million * Adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to range from $0.70 to $0.74

Management Comments and Business Outlook

"We are pleased with our continued strong growth in revenue and profitability during the second quarter of 2008," said Sean Casey, Virtual Radiologic's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are confident in our ability to continue to grow in a competitive marketplace."

Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company records its results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In addition, the Company is providing certain supplemental non-GAAP information which the Company believes to be an important indicator of its financial performance. These financial measures are not financial measures under GAAP and the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

* Adjusted EBITDA -- operating income excluding the effects of depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense; * Adjusted net income -- net income available to common stockholders excluding the effects of non-controlling interest, non-cash stock-based compensation, net of tax and Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock accretion; * Adjusted diluted earnings per share -- Adjusted net income divided by Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding; and * Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding -- weighted average diluted shares outstanding plus weighted average Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, common share equivalents and the additional weighted average common shares that would have been outstanding had the Company's initial public offering been completed as of the beginning of the applicable reporting period.

The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they are a useful indicator of its performance and on going operations. The Company's management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to review and assess its operating performance and its management team in connection with certain incentive programs and the preparation of its financial projections. In addition, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to certain items, such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company. However, the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Pro-forma diluted shares outstanding are not measurements of the Company's financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income, earnings per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
