*Since September 10, 2019, Digirad has been operating as a diversified holding company (“HoldCo”) with three divisions: Healthcare, Building & Construction, and Real Estate & Investments. Digirad’s Q3 2020 and 9M 2020 results include financial and operational data for the two newly created divisions - Building & Construction and Real Estate & Investments. Partial operational and financial data were recorded in the 2019 corresponding periods for these two divisions.

** In May 28, 2020, Digirad completed a public offering through the issuance of 2,225,000 shares of its common stock. Per share amounts for Q3 2020 and 9M 2020 periods, reflect the new share count. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were 395,140 warrants exercised and converted into 197,570 shares of common stock.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Knob Creek Acquisition Corp., to sell its DMS Health Technologies, Inc. (“DMS Health”) business unit. The initial purchase price under the Agreement is $18.75 million. The Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in January 2021.

Jeff Eberwein, Chairman of Digirad, noted, “Our Q3 2020 operating and financial results continued to be impacted by the slowdown due to COVID-19. Although doctor offices and hospitals started to return to normal operations in Q3, activity levels remained below normal during the quarter, causing our Healthcare division’s revenue and gross profit to be lower than the prior year quarter. Our Diagnostic Services business has begun to rebound, but our Diagnostic Imaging business has seen a slowdown in camera sales due to purchase delays related to capital funding decisions driven by the pandemic.”

“Our Building & Construction division has significant momentum as shown by Q3 revenue increasing 70% versus the preceding quarter. KBS Builders, Inc. (“KBS”), our modular building manufacturing business focused on the Northeast, increased production at its South Paris, Maine plant in Q3 due to recently won commercial projects. In addition, KBS recently re-opened an ancillary building at its previously idle Oxford, Maine plant to manufacture wall panels for the New England market, creating a new business line for KBS. Because of the strong demand outlook for KBS, we are studying ways to increase our production capacity and are excited about the outlook for this business.”

Mr. Eberwein concluded, “We continue to execute on our HoldCo growth strategy and value enhancement initiatives to maximize stockholder value. Our HoldCo structure allows division CEOs to focus on operations and organic growth while HoldCo management focuses on corporate strategy and capital allocation. In addition to looking for attractive bolt-on acquisitions for our existing operating businesses, we are also looking to create new business divisions in the future through the disciplined acquisition of businesses complementary to our HoldCo structure. Furthermore, the sale of DMS Health, once completed, will substantially improve our balance sheet and better position us to fund high-return internal growth investments and pursue acquisitions.”

Revenue

The Company’s total Q3 2020 revenue increased by 7.1% to $30.4 million from $28.3 million in the third quarter of the prior year. 9M 2020 total revenue of $81.6 million increased by 4.5% from 9M 2019 revenue of $78.0 million.

Revenue for the Healthcare division for Q3 2020 decreased from Q3 2019 by $3.8 million due to the slowdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although many doctor offices have reopened and many hospitals have started to once again perform non-emergency procedures, activity remains below pre-COVID levels.

The increase in revenue for the Building & Construction division was due to a full quarter of operational and financial data in Q3 2020 compared to only a partial quarter in 2019 and an increase in KBS activity levels due to $2.2 million revenue recognized from recently won commercial projects. More importantly, in Q3 2020, Building & Construction division revenue increased to $8.5 million from $5.0 million Q2 2020, representing a 70% increase.

Gross Profit

Q3 2020 gross profit for the Healthcare division decreased by 24.0% from the prior year’s quarter due to reduced revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, some costs remained fairly constant such as employee costs, insurance, workers compensation, rents, utilities, and repairs and maintenance. Q3 2020 gross profit for Building & Construction division increased by 162.7% from the prior year’s quarter due to a full quarter in 2020 versus a partial quarter in 2019 and increased production activity due to recently won commercial projects.

Operating Expenses

Q3 2020 marketing, sales, general and administrative (MSG&A) expenses increased by 12.5% or $0.6 million from the prior year period, mainly due an increase in expenses from including a full quarter of the Building & Construction division compared to only 20 days in three months ended September 30, 2019. Similarly, our 9M 2020 MSG&A expenses increased by 13.0% or $1.9 million, compared to the same period of 2019 due to an increase of $2.7 million of expenses from the Building & Construction division and offset by a $0.8 million decrease from the Digirad Health division.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Q3 2020 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to $1.1 million from $2.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to lower revenue generated from high-margin mobile scanning services because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 9M 2020 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to $3.4 million, compared to $4.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting COVID-19 impact.

Net Loss

Q3 2020 net loss from continuing operations was $1.8 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.74 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in the prior year. Q3 2020 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $0.9 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net income from continuing operations of $14 thousand, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

9M 2020 net loss from continuing operations was $6.0 million, or $1.83 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $2.27 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in the prior year. 9M 2020 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations decreased to $2.9 million, or $0.89 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.46 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Operating cash flow

Q3 2020 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $1.9 million, compared to an outflow of $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year due to increased investment in working capital to fund the revenue growth in the Building & Construction division. 9M 2020 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $1.9 million, compared to an outflow of $0.8 million for the prior year period.

Free Cash Flow

The Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, plus net dispositions of property and equipment, and the acquisition-related net working capital. The Company believes this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information about cash generation (or use) in our primary operations.

Q3 2020 non-GAAP free cash flow was an outflow of $2.2 million, compared to an inflow of $0.4 million in the same quarter of the prior year period. 9M 2020 non-GAAP free cash flow was an outflow of $2.3 million, compared to an inflow of $1.6 million in the prior year period also due to increased investment in working capital to fund the revenue growth in the Building & Construction division.

Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL)

Digirad Corporation has approximately $91.6 million of usable net operating losses (“NOL”) in the U.S. as of year-end 2019, which the Company considers to be a very valuable asset for its stockholders. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has a charter amendment in place limiting beneficial ownership of Digirad common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Digirad common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval.

This release presents the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income (loss),” “adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share,” “free cash flow”, and “adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.” The most directly comparable measure for these non-GAAP financial measures are “net income and basic and diluted net income per share”, and “cash flows from operating activities”. The Company has included below unaudited adjusted financial information, which presents the Company’s results of operations after excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, one time transaction costs, litigation costs, restructuring costs, loss on sale of buildings, COVID-19 protection equipment, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, non-recurring costs related to sales and use tax and income tax adjustments. Further excluded in the measure of adjusted EBITDA are interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation.
