iCAD, Inc.: iCAD Reports Financial Results for Fourth Quarter ended December 31, 2022 and Year End

Strategy focused on profitability by end of 2024, using current cash on hand

New leadership to host conference call and webcast today at 4:30 PM ET

NASHUA, N.H., March 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iCAD, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICAD), a global medical technology leader providing innovative cancer detection and therapy solutions, today reported its financial and operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

Highlights:

  • Company continues to invest in Detection business, driving commercial growth through global adoption of Breast AI Suite while exploring strategic options for Therapy segment
  • Several strategic partnership agreements signed in Q4, including Google Health and Solis Mammography, positioning the Company for growth
  • Promising clinical research reaffirms clinical value and utility of Breast AI Suite
  • Company reduces annualized expenses by $4.3 to $4.6 million and decreases annualized cash burn by $4.9 to $5.2 million

"In the battle against cancer, we see early detection and diagnosis as a key part in transforming the patient journey and quality of care. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S. With iCAD's early detection technology, we have the ability to detect cancers early, giving individuals the opportunity for more positive outcomes and more lives saved. The body of evidence supporting our Breast AI suite continues to grow, and we are committed to upholding our vision to be the world's most pervasive and personalized suite of AI cancer detection solutions. We look forward to strengthening our focus to rapidly advance our progress in this area," said Dana Brown, President and CEO of iCAD, Inc.

"We are amidst an exciting period of transition across many aspects of the Company, including the shift to a partnership approach for both select elements of our business as well as our go-to-market strategy. Several key partnerships and agreements were signed in Q4, including a strategic development and commercialization agreement with Google Health, which is positioned to improve our market-leading AI solutions for mammography, expand access to our technology to millions of women and providers worldwide, and accelerate time to market for our own cloud-based SaaS solution planned for 2024. We are also continuing to strengthen our partnership with Solis Mammography, the largest independent provider of breast screening and diagnostic services in the U.S. We remain enthusiastic about the potential these partnerships present in 2023 and beyond," said Ms. Brown.

"While both the Therapy and Detection lines of business have significant market opportunity and potential, we believe our core competencies and focus need to be solely on Detection and our strategy around AI. We remain confident that the Xoft technology has the potential to positively impact the lives of cancer patients and the providers who care for them on a global scale. As we move through this time of transition, we want to explore strategic options that could accelerate the accessibility of this technology and provide more focus and synergies to its growth. As we explore these opportunities, we are projecting to be cash flow positive and reach profitability before the end of 2024. We believe these changes give us the runway needed to successfully navigate this business model transition without needing to raise additional capital," said Ms. Brown.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable GAAP 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 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 provisions for interest expense, other income, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, tax expense, severance, gain on sale of assets, loss on disposal of assets, acquisition and litigation related expenses. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of the Company's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in its financial reporting and investor presentations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

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:

  • Interest expense: The Company excludes interest expense which includes interest from the facility agreement, interest on capital leases and interest on the convertible debentures from its non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA calculation.

  • 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 and depreciation: Purchased assets and intangibles are amortized over a period of several years and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after they are acquired. Accordingly, these non-cash 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.

  • Loss on fair value of convertible debentures. The Company excludes this non-cash item as it is not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such item does not have a direct correlation to future business operations.

  • Litigation related: These expenses consist primarily of settlement, legal and other professional fees related to litigation. The Company excludes these costs from its non-GAAP measures primarily because the Company believes that these costs have no direct correlation to the core operations of the Company.

  • Loss on extinguishment of debt: The Company excludes this non-cash item as it is not considered by management in making operating decisions, and management believes that such item does not have a direct correlation to future business operations.

On occasion in the future, there may be other items, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, 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.
