iCAD, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2006 Operating Results

NASHUA, N.H., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD(R), Inc. , an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) solutions for the early identification of cancer, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2006 second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

The Company reported sales for the 2006 second quarter of $3.9 million as compared to $4.2 million for the same quarter of 2005. Gross margin for the second quarter was 78% compared to 76% in the prior-year second quarter. Net loss for the second quarter was ($2,558,299), or ($0.07) per share, compared to net loss of ($1,083,662), or ($0.03) per share, in the prior-year second quarter. Recruiting costs, severance and related separation costs of approximately $1,200,000, associated principally with the Company's transition to new management, contributed significantly to the current quarter loss. Additionally, stock based compensation of approximately $286,000 was recorded.

For the first six months ended June 30, 2006, sales were $8.2 million as compared to $10.2 million for the same period of the prior year. Gross margin for the first six months was 79% compared to 78% in prior-year six months. Net loss for the first six months of 2006 was ($4,164,193), or ($0.11) per share, as compared to a net loss of ($441,733), or ($0.01) per share, in the prior-year six months.

Sales of the iCAD's digital solutions rose 43% compared to the same quarter of 2005. Additionally, sales of the Company's TotalLook(R) product which digitizes prior mammography films for comparison with digital images have grown 100% since its introduction in Q4 of 2005 and grew sequentially 77% over Q1 of 2006. Service revenues realized growth in excess of 100% compared with the same quarter in 2005 and grew sequentially 15% over Q1 of 2006. Significantly offsetting this progress was the decline of the analog CAD business which saw a 44% decrease in revenues compared with the same quarter of 2005, reflecting a change in the overall mammography business which is rapidly adopting digital technology.

"Q2 has been a quarter that reflects significant transition for iCAD," stated Ken Ferry, iCAD's President and CEO. "The Company transitioned a new executive management team and successfully resolved arbitration with our principal competitor. At the same time, we saw a dramatic change in the competitive landscape with the acquisition of R2 Technology, Inc. by Hologic, Inc."

"We are encouraged by the market and competitive dynamics that are increasing the demand for iCAD's digital solutions. We believe we are in a strong position to capitalize on the rapid transition our customers are making from analog to digital mammography systems and believe our new organization is making substantial progress in positioning the Company for future success."
