NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapies for the early identification and treatment of cancer, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
Ken Ferry, President and CEO of iCAD, commented, “While fourth quarter sales were softer than expected with our software and therapy product lines, we were encouraged by the continued growing interest in Breast Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT). This was evidenced by a significant increase in balloon applicator and x-ray source sales in the quarter. In addition, we continued to make strong progress on a number of operational and financial initiatives, which resulted in a significant reduction in operating expenses and cash use in the fourth quarter.
“In September 2011, new reimbursement codes for IORT were assigned by the American Medical Association. We continue to work with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to obtain appropriate payment for these codes and anticipate a resolution on this issue by mid-year. There continues to be significant opportunity for Breast IORT and we are at the beginning of the growth curve. We remain confident that, over time, IORT will help accelerate new standards of oncology care and in doing so will provide iCAD with a significant revenue opportunity while making a real difference in patients’ lives.
“Our digital mammography CAD business was lower than anticipated in the fourth quarter as we continued to see weak European sales as well as softer demand in the U.S. Looking forward, we continue to make progress on the development of a new generation mammography CAD system and anticipate availability in the U.S. towards the end of the year. With our current CAD system connected to greater than 3,000 digital mammography systems in the U.S. alone, we see this new product as a major catalyst to generate considerable recurring revenue from our customer base over time.
“Overall, 2011 was a year of transition for iCAD, as we integrated Xoft to provide a broader offering of solutions to the oncology market and made continued steady progress with our new mammography MRI and CT CAD platforms. We believe that 2012 will be a stronger year as we gain traction with our Breast IORT product and we begin to leverage the commercial opportunities for service and product upgrades inherent in our growing installed base,” concluded Mr. Ferry.
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Revenue: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased to $6.6 million from $6.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenue growth was driven by the addition of the Axxent eBx system, which contributed $1.6 million in revenue consisting of $1.1 million in product sales and $478,000 in service and supply revenue. This revenue growth was offset by weakness in digital mammography CAD revenue, which was impacted by challenging market conditions.

Financial Guidance
Although iCAD management is increasingly confident about the Company's performance during 2012, due to the economic environment and limited visibility with regard to regulatory and reimbursement milestones, the Company has made a decision to defer providing financial guidance at this time. This decision will be reviewed at mid-year and the Company will provide a further update at that time.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO COMPARABLE GAAP MEASURES
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
The following is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to describe the Company's financial results determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business operations, investors are reminded to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, and management may utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. However, management believes that in order to properly understand the Company's short-term and long-term financial and operational trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items, when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Management also uses results of operations before such items to evaluate the operating performance of the Company and compare it against past periods, make operating decisions, and serve as a basis for strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in the Company's ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of the Company's ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management's ability to make useful forecasts. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to its peers and competitors.
Management defines "Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA" as the sum of GAAP net loss before provision for income taxes, acquisition-related expenses, total other (income) expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance, gain on sale, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition related, patent litigation and recall costs, contingent consideration and goodwill impairment charges. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a good measure of its historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact the Company's overall financial performance.
Management defines "Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss" as the sum of GAAP net loss before provision for the gain on sale of asset, severance, transaction, patent litigation and recall costs, contingent consideration and goodwill impairment charges. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a good measure of its historical operating trends, in particular the extent to which ongoing operations impact the Company's overall financial performance.
Management excludes each of the items identified below from the applicable non-GAAP financial measure referenced above for the reasons set forth with respect to that excluded item:
- Stock-based compensation expense: excluded as these are non-cash expenses that management does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of the Company's business, and also because the total amount of expense is partially outside of the Company's control as it is based on factors such as stock price volatility and interest rates, which may be unrelated to our performance during the period in which the expense is incurred.
- Amortization of acquired intangibles: acquisition-related expenses are reported at the time acquisition costs are incurred, and purchased intangibles are amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition. Accordingly, these items are not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations. Thus, including such charges does not accurately reflect the performance of the Company's ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are incurred.
- Severance: relates to costs incurred due to the termination of certain employees. The Company provides compensation to certain employees as an accommodation upon termination of employment without cause. Management believes that excluding severance costs from operating results provides investors with a better means for measuring current Company performance.
- Gain on sale: relates to a gain on the one-time sale of a non-core patent in the second quarter of 2010. Since the proceeds are non-recurring, management believes that it should be excluded when evaluating core operations.
- Acquisition-related expenses: relates to transition and integration cost as well as professional service fees due to the acquisition of Xoft, Inc. The Company does not consider these acquisition-related costs to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets.
- Recall and patent lawsuits: These expenses consist primarily of investigation, audit, legal and other professional fees related to the recall and patent litigation, as well as recoveries received from third parties. The Company excludes these costs and recoveries from its non-GAAP measures primarily because the Company believes that these costs and recoveries have no direct correlation to the core operation of the Company's.
- Contingent consideration: the Company reviews the fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis and, accordingly, recorded a gain due to a reduction of the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Xoft, Inc. This amount arose from the Company's acquisition of Xoft, Inc. and has no direct correlation to the core operation of the Company.
- Goodwill impairment charges: the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss during the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to current market conditions affecting the price of its common stock. The Company does not consider the impairment charge to be directly related to the continuing operations of the business.
- Indemnification asset gain (loss): The Company recorded an indemnification asset representing Xoft, Inc.’s obligation to indemnify iCAD for the outcome of potential liabilities as a result of iCAD’s acquisition of Xoft, Inc. The Company does not consider the indemnification asset gain (loss) to be directly related to the continuing operations of the business.
On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as significant asset impairments, restructuring charges or significant gains or losses from contingencies that the Company may exclude if it believes that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.
