Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2013

Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2013

WESTBURY, N.Y., May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC BB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

“We are pleased to report that for the first quarter of 2013, we recorded total revenue of $7.3 million, an increase of 21% compared to the same period of 2012,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to a 48% increase in commission revenue recognized by our VasoHealthcare subsidiary during the quarter. We expect that the commission revenue from our sales representation business will continue to be a significant portion of our growth as we seek to expand our sales representation segment.”

“During the first quarter of 2013, we experienced a decrease in revenue for our equipment segment that is mostly attributable to EECP® sales. This decline partially reflects certain customer delays associated with delivering EECP®equipment, which resulted in lower recorded revenue for the period. As such, we believe these quarterly results do not truly reflect the current market demand for our EECP® products or our performance. These types of fluctuations are why we focus on full-year results to determine the success of our sales and marketing efforts for EECP® equipment.”

“We remain committed to expanding our sales and marketing programs for our proprietary equipment in both domestic and international markets, including the expansion of our domestic sales team, which is expected to help drive sales in the coming quarters,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Financial Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenue increased 21% to $7.3 million, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This is attributable to a 48% increase in commission revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2013 to $6.0 million, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in commission revenue is a result of higher volume of equipment delivered to customers during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period of 2012.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 was $5.1 million, for a gross margin of 69.4%, compared to a gross profit of $4.2 million, for a gross margin of 69.2%, for the first quarter of 2012.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $5.6 million compared to $5.3 millionfor the same period last year. The increase in SG&A expense resulted primarily from costs in the Sales Representation segment of approximately $238,000 associated with the extension of the GEHC contract. This cost increase is a non-recurring charge that will be completed in the second quarter 2013.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.7 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

In April 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 million of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 5% of the total outstanding shares of Vasomedical common stock as of April 30, 2013. The repurchase program is being actively implemented in compliance with relevant SEC guidelines; 367,427 shares have been bought back through Friday, May 10, 2013.

Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2012

WESTBURY, N.Y., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTC BB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012.

“This year we saw an increase in activity across each of our business segments, even though not everything was reflected in our total revenue for 2012, which declined by 6% compared to 2011,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc. “The decline in revenue for 2012 is due to the lower commission rate earned by our VasoHealthcare unit as a result of the aggressive sales performance target set earlier in the year. We believe the sales target was aggressive given it was approximately 16% higher than the 2011 target and approximately 10% higher than 2011 actual performance, and on the other hand we saw in 2012 a relatively flat market for diagnostic imaging products, year-over-year. We believe the performance target for 2013 is more in line with current market conditions and our sales team’s historical results, putting us in a position to achieve strong revenue growth in 2013.”

“Revenue from our equipment segment grew 34% for the full year of 2012, compared to 2011. This was a direct result of the increased sales achieved from our Biox subsidiary, coupled with growth in international EECP® sales. As most of this growth was organic, we plan to expand distribution, sales and marketing for each area of our equipment segment in order to build on this momentum.”

“Upon execution of our growth strategy, we expect to improve upon all fronts of our business and return to profitability.  This strategy includes expanding on the domestic and international sales and marketing efforts for our EECP solutions and investing in further growth of our China operations. We will also seek out opportunities for partnerships and acquisitions in order to enhance our product lines. Most importantly, we have the capital resources needed to invest in our business and properly support future growth.  As of March 1, 2013 our cash and cash equivalents were $12.9 million,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Financial Results

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, revenue decreased 32.9% to $9.8 million, compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in revenue is attributable to the Sales Representation segment, which recorded a lower commission rate in 2012 than in 2011. The lower commission rate was a direct result of a higher sales performance target preset early in the year and a flat domestic market for the products in 2012, despite a good performance by the VasoHealthcare sales team. According to our sales representation agreement with our partner, we earn a progressively higher commission rate as performance targets are met during the year, and the higher commission rate is applied retroactively to all booked orders in the year.  Therefore, we normally see higher commission revenue in the fourth quarter of the year when the relevant sales targets are met and the retroactive adjustments are made.  Consequently, the full impact of the lower commission rate in 2012 was also recorded in the fourth quarter results. Commission revenue from the retroactive adjustment in the fourth quarter 2012 was 64.8% lower than in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $6.8 million, for a gross margin of 69.7%, compared to a gross profit of $10.5 million, for a gross margin of 71.8%, for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $6.3 million compared to $5.2 million for the same period last year. SG&A increased principally from higher sales and marketing expenses incurred in conjunction with the extension of our exclusive representation agreement with GE Healthcare, a division of General Electric Company (“GEHC”).

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $0.4 million, or $0.00 per common share, compared to a net income of $5.0 million, or $0.03 per common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Financial Results
(For purposes of comparison, the Company compares the year ended December 31, 2012 results with the unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s 2011 audited results, which are included in its 10K filing with the SEC, are for the seven months ended December 31, 2011 and full year ended May 31, 2011, reflecting its decision in 2011 to change to a fiscal year ended December 31st from May 31st.)

The Company reported a decrease in revenue of 6% to $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The slight decrease in revenue is primarily due to a 13% decline in commission revenue in our sales representation segment attributable to a lower commission rate in 2012. This was partially offset by a 34% increase in revenue from our equipment segment.

Gross profit for 2012 was $20.6 million, for a gross margin of 70.4%, compared to a gross profit of $21.9 million, for a gross margin of 70.4%, for 2011.

SG&A for 2012 was $23.5 million compared to $17.7 million for 2011. This increase in SG&A is attributable to increased compensation and benefits expenses in the sales representation segment principally related to costs incurred in connection with the extension of the GEHC contract.  SG&A also increased in the equipment segment due to higher compensation costs, higher sales and marketing expenses, mainly related to reimbursement consulting, and the inclusion of costs of China operations for a full year, as well as higher corporate expenses, mainly accounting, legal and director’s fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million, or $0.02 per common share, compared to a net income of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company continues to record a substantial amount of deferred revenues, which will be recognized once the underlying equipment or service is accepted by the customer or performed by the Company.  As of December 31, 2012, total deferred revenues were approximately $15.6 million, and the Company recorded cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.5 million.

Vasomedical Announces Share Repurchase Program of up to $1.5 Million in Common Stock

WESTBURY, N.Y., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (OTC BB: VASO), announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 million of the Company’s common stock.

We believe this strategy shows our commitment to building shareholder value as well as confidence in achieving long-term growth.”

The share repurchase program is effective immediately. Repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
