RALEIGH, N.C., March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumexa Imaging (Nasdaq: LMRI), one of the nation's largest providers of outpatient imaging services, today announced certain financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, and reiterated full year 2026 guidance. The financial results included in this release pertaining to the fourth quarter and full year 2025 are preliminary, unaudited, and subject to final review and adjustment.
"The fourth quarter of 2025 marked a strong close to an important year for Lumexa Imaging, with continued momentum across the business," said Caitlin Zulla, Chief Executive Officer of Lumexa Imaging. "Strong Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by advanced imaging volumes, ramping new de novo centers, and our return in-network with a large payer in New Jersey. We strengthened our balance sheet, reducing leverage by two turns, and opened a record number of de novo centers during the year, setting the stage for future growth."
Ms. Zulla continued, "Looking ahead, our 2026 outlook reflects continued growth and margin expansion, supported by durable demand tailwinds and the ongoing shift to outpatient care. With a focused strategy centered on same-center growth, geographic expansion, and advanced imaging, we believe Lumexa Imaging is well positioned to deliver sustained, profitable growth while expanding access to high-quality, lower-cost imaging for patients, providers, and payors."

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (ii) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; and (iv) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operations and annual operating budgets. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see below.
We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS guidance to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because we do not and are not able to provide guidance for those GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and potential variability of certain reconciling items, including transaction costs, severance and executive recruiting. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss. However, such items could have a significant impact on our future results.
