SUWANEE, Ga., March 6, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digirad Corporation (Nasdaq:DRAD) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
Total revenues for the 2014 fourth quarter were $14.1 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to the prior year's fourth quarter revenues of $12.5 million. Adjusted net income for the 2014 fourth quarter was $892,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income $873,000, or $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year's fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2014 fourth quarter was $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million for the prior year quarter.
Total revenues for all of 2014 were $55.6 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to 2013 revenue of $49.4 million. Adjusted net income for all of 2014 was $3.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $645,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for all of 2014 was $5.5 million, compared to $2.6 million for 2013. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA is provided later in this release.
Digirad President and CEO Matt Molchan said, "I am extremely pleased with the results this quarter, and also for all of 2014. We have closed out a very successful year for Digirad, not just financially, but strategically and operationally as well."
Molchan continued, "With 2014 closed out, we are now focusing our efforts on growing our business in 2015 in the near term, and in the long-term, our overall strategic plan of organic growth, growth from new services, and growth from financially disciplined acquisitions. To that point, I am very pleased about our other announcement this morning, the acquisition of MD Office Solutions. MD Office is a very well-run business that puts us in a market that we are not currently in, and we are very excited about the potential this acquisition brings. Finally, we continue to believe the market is moving in our direction and we believe there are other potential opportunities from disciplined acquisitions in the healthcare services arena moving forward."
The Company's cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities balance at December 31, 2014 was $22.0 million, a slight increase from the September 30, 2014 balance of $21.8 million. Cash activity for the quarter mainly included cash generation from the businesses, partially offset by payment of cash dividends.
