Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2012

Vasomedical Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2012

WESTBURY, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCQB: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.

“We reported another strong quarter of sales for our equipment segment in the third quarter.  However, changes to certain sales commission milestones for 2012 compared to 2011 have resulted in a third quarter year-over-year revenue comparison that is non-reflective of our actual performance.  As such, we believe that the comparison of our revenue for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 offers a more accurate representation of our sales growth.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a 17.6% increase in total revenue, compared to the same period last year,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vasomedical, Inc.  “We will continue to pursue additional opportunities to expand our equipment segment and explore avenues to grow our sales representation business.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, revenue decreased 12.4% to $5.72 million, compared to $6.53 millionfor the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a decrease in commission revenues from the Sales Representation segment, resulting from a retroactive commission rate increase that was effected in the second quarter of 2012 as opposed to the third quarter in 2011.  The Company had a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $2.52 million, compared to a net income of $0.64 million for the same period in 2011.  Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.52 million or $0.02 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.12 million or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The Company reported an increase in revenue of 17.6% to $19.46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to revenue of $16.55 million for the same period in 2011.  The increase in revenue is the result of improved performance in all areas of the Company’s business, including sales of EECP® Therapy systems and its operations in China, as well as increased commission revenue from VasoHealthcare.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $3.81 million compared to a net loss of $1.36 million for the same period in 2011.  The losses were principally due to an increase of costs related to an extension of the sales representation agreement with GE Healthcare, as well as increased sales and marketing costs for the Equipment segment.  The costs for the Equipment segment now includes SG&A costs of the recently acquired Chinese entities and one-time costs incurred for incentive compensation for certain key employees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.81 million or $0.02 per common share, compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $2.82 million or $0.02 per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2012, total deferred revenues were approximately $14.99 million, and the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.69 million.

Vasomedical Announces 48.7% Increase in Revenue for the Second Quarter 2012 Reports Net Profit for the Second Quarter

WESTBURY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vasomedical, Inc. (“Vasomedical”) (OTCQB: VASO), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices and in the domestic sale of diagnostic imaging products, today reported its operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

The Company reported an increase in revenue of $2.52 million, or 48.7%, to $7.70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to revenue of $5.18 million for the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue was $13.74 million compared to $10.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 37.1%. The increase is the result of improved performance in all areas of our business, namely, sales of our EECP® Therapy systems and sales from our China operations, as well as increased commission revenue for Vaso Diagnostics, Inc. We continue to record substantial amounts of deferred revenues, which will be recognized once the underlying equipment or service is accepted or performed. As of June 30, 2012, total deferred revenues were approximately $15.20 million, and the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $11.78 million.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $54,000, compared to a net loss of $0.96 million for the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 we had a net loss of $1.29 million compared to a net loss of $1.42 million for the same period in 2011. The improvement to profitability and the reduction in the loss reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011, was due to the increase in revenues for both our equipment operations and our sales representation business, offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs associated mainly with additional sales and marketing investments at our Vaso Diagnostics subsidiary, the addition of the China operations, and increased corporate expenses. Income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $54,000 or $0.00 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.11 million or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.29 million or $0.01 per common share compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1.70 million or $0.01 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

“We are pleased that we are able to report a net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and anticipate that we will continue to improve results in the second half of this year. Our equipment segment is beginning to show significant growth and we expect that this also will continue,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We will continue to pursue additional opportunities to expand our equipment segment and explore methods to grow our sales representation business,” Dr. Ma added.
