2017 Financial Results

“As outlined with our guidance for the year and consistent with our 2017 expectations, our team continued to deliver solid growth in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA sequentially and year-over-year. When compared to the second quarter of 2016, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 10.9%, and Adjusted Net Income Per Share increased by 16.2% to $0.43. We continue to make progress in reducing our long-term debt, which is down $11.3 million compared to December 31, 2016,” stated Tom Tomlinson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Alliance HealthCare Services. “Although we continued to experience same-store volume challenges in our Radiology MRI segment and our Oncology SRS segment, the strengthening that began in the first quarter has continued into the second quarter, and same-store volumes in our Radiology PET/CT segment and our Oncology Linac segment have continued to show positive growth. Within each of our businesses, year-over-year and sequential revenue growth continues as our team focuses on enhancing our value proposition and improving our competitive position. We remain confident that we will deliver results for 2017 that are consistent with guidance provided to investors,” continued Mr. Tomlinson.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $137.3 million, compared to $125.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to increases in Radiology, Oncology and Interventional revenue of $1.6 million, $8.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Revenue for the first half of 2017 increased to $267.2 million, compared to $249.0 million in the first half of 2016. This increase was primarily due to increases in Radiology, Oncology and Interventional revenue of $3.7 million, $12.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 increased 10.9% to $38.2 million, compared to $34.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, and 9.5% for the first half of 2017 to $71.0 million from $64.8 million in first half of 2016. The increase was primarily due to increases in earnings from Radiology, Oncology and Interventional, partially offset by Corporate investments. Adjusted EBITDA growth in both Radiology and Oncology was driven by period-over-period same-store volume growth in PET/CT as well as the addition of new partnerships such as the Northern Alabama Cancer Care Network. Adjusted EBITDA growth in Interventional was primarily driven by increases in mix of the procedures performed in Alliance’s new Ambulatory Surgical Centers (“ASCs”), which were partially offset by additional expenses related to new ASC capacity as well as platform investments made to strengthen management and development capabilities. Corporate / Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased due to additional investments in international expansion as well as organization, systems and infrastructure to support expanded workforce, entities and partnerships.

GAAP net (loss) for the second quarter totaled $(0.3) million, compared to net income of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2016. The $2.8 million decrease in income is largely due to $3.8 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Company’s segments, offset by a $1.0 million increase in shareholder transaction costs, a non-cash remeasurement gain of $3.0 million recognized in the second quarter of 2016 which did not re-occur in 2017, a $1.1 million impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2017 primarily related to historical IT investments, and a $0.8 million increase in acquisition-related amortization expense.

GAAP net (loss) for the first half of 2017 totaled $(0.9) million, compared to net income of $1.3 million in the first half of 2016. The $2.2 million decrease in income is largely due to $6.2 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Company’s segments, offset by a non-cash remeasurement gain of $3.6 million recognized in the first half of 2016 which did not re-occur in 2017, a $1.3 million increase in interest expense, a $1.1 million impairment charge recorded in the first half of 2017 primarily related to historical IT investments, a $2.7 million increase in acquisition- and capital investment-related depreciation and amortization, a $1.1 million increase in income tax expense, and a $1.6 million decrease in share-based compensation expense which primarily related to the March 29, 2016 majority ownership purchase of common stock by Tahoe Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Tahoe”) from Alliance’s former shareholders.

GAAP net (loss) per share for the second quarter of 2017 was $(0.03) per share, compared to GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.23 in the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted Net Income Per Share was $0.43 and $0.37 for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis was impacted by net charges of $0.46 and $0.14 in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were comprised of: severance and related costs; restructuring charges; transaction costs; shareholder transaction costs; impairment charges; deferred financing costs in connection with shareholder transaction; legal matters (income) expense, net; changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; other non-cash benefits, net; and differences in the GAAP income tax rate from the Company’s historical income tax rate of 42.5%.

GAAP net (loss) per share in the first half of 2017 was $(0.08) per share, compared to GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.12 in the first half of 2016. Adjusted Net Income Per Share was $0.60 and $0.42 for in the first half of 2017 and 2016, respectively. GAAP net income per share on a diluted basis was impacted by net charges of $0.68 and $0.30 in the first half of 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were comprised of: severance and related costs; restructuring charges; transaction costs; shareholder transaction costs; impairment charges; deferred financing costs in connection with shareholder transaction; legal matters (income) expense, net; changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; other non-cash benefits, net; and differences in the GAAP income tax rate from the Company’s historical income tax rate of 42.5%.

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $29.6 million for the second quarter 2017, compared to $35.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Total capital expenditures, including cash paid for equipment purchases, deposits on equipment and capital leases, totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter 2017 compared to $27.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Growth capital expenditures totaled $8.0 million and maintenance capital expenditures totaled $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $49.5 million in the first half 2017, compared to $57.9 million in the first half of 2016. Total capital expenditures, including cash paid for equipment purchases, deposits on equipment and capital leases, totaled $22.7 million in first half of 2017 compared to $49.3 million in the first half of 2016. Growth capital expenditures totaled $11.9 million and maintenance capital expenditures totaled $10.8 million in the first half of 2017.

Alliance’s gross debt, defined as total long-term debt (including current maturities but excluding the impact of deferred financing costs) decreased $11.3 million to $561.9 million at June 30, 2017 from $573.2 million at December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents were $22.7 million at June 30, 2017 and $22.2 million at December 31, 2016.

Alliance’s total debt, as defined above, divided by the last twelve months Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was 3.95x for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 4.03x for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 4.15x for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016.

ALLIANCE HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC.
NON-GAAP MEASURES

Total Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Per Share (the “Non-GAAP Measures”) are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”).

Total Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s management, is consistent with the definition in the Company’s Credit Agreement and represents net (loss) income before: income tax expense; interest expense, net; depreciation expense; amortization expense; share-based payment; severance and related costs; net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; restructuring charges; transaction costs; shareholder transaction costs; impairment charges; legal matters (income) expense, net; changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; and other non-cash (benefits) charges, net, which include non-cash gain on sale of assets, net. The components used to reconcile net (loss) income to Total Adjusted EBITDA are consistent with Company’s historical presentation of Total Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share, as defined by the Company’s management, represents net (loss) income, on a diluted basis, before: severance and related costs; restructuring charges; transaction costs; shareholder transaction costs; impairment charges; deferred financing costs in connection with shareholder transaction; legal matters (income) expenses, net; changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions; other non-cash benefits, net; and differences in the GAAP income tax rate compared to the Company’s historical income tax rate. The components used to reconcile net (loss) income per share to Adjusted Net Income Per Share are consistent with Company’s historical presentation of Adjusted Net Income Per Share.

Management uses the Non-GAAP Measures, and believes they are useful measures for investors, for a variety of reasons. Management regularly communicates the results of its Non-GAAP Measures and management’s interpretation of such results to its board of directors. Management also compares the Company’s results of its Non-GAAP Measures against internal targets as a key factor in determining cash incentive compensation for executives and other employees, largely because management feels that these measures are indicative of how its radiology, oncology and interventional businesses are performing and are being managed. The diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology industry continues to experience significant consolidation. These activities have led to significant charges to earnings, such as those resulting from acquisition costs, and to significant variations among companies with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense) and differences in taxation and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. In addition, management believes that because of the variety of equity awards used by companies, the varying methodologies for determining non-cash share-based compensation expense among companies and from period to period, and the subjective assumptions involved in that determination, excluding non-cash share-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA enhances company-to-company comparisons over multiple fiscal periods and enhances the Company’s ability to analyze the performance of its radiology, oncology and interventional businesses.

In the future, the Company expects that it may incur expenses similar to the excluded items discussed above. Accordingly, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the Company’s non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. The Non-GAAP Measures have certain limitations as analytical financial measures, which management compensates for by relying on the Company’s GAAP results to evaluate its operating performance and by considering independently the economic effects of the items that are or are not reflected in the Non-GAAP Measures. Management also compensates for these limitations by providing GAAP-based disclosures concerning the excluded items in the Company’s financial disclosures. As a result of these limitations and because the Non-GAAP Measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, however, the Non-GAAP Measures should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, or as an alternative to any other GAAP measure of operating performance.

The calculation of Total Adjusted EBITDA is shown below:

SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
RADIOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY DIVISION SAME-STORE VOLUME

The Company utilizes same-store volume growth as a historical statistical measure of the MRI and PET/CT imaging procedure, linear accelerator (“Linac”) treatment and SRS case growth at its customers in a specified period on a year-over-year basis. Same-store volume growth is calculated by comparing the cumulative scan, treatment or case volume at all locations in the current year quarter to the same quarter in the prior year. The group of customers whose volume is included in the scan, treatment or case volume totals is only those that received service from Alliance for the full quarter in each of the comparison periods. A positive percentage represents growth over the prior year quarter and a negative percentage represents a decline over the prior year quarter. Alliance measures each of its major radiology and oncology modalities (MRI, PET/CT, Linac and SRS) separately.

The Radiology Division same-store volume growth (decline) for the last four calendar quarters ended June 30, 2017 is as follows:

Same-Store Volume
MRI   PET/CT
