Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights
Ray Stachowiak, CEO and Executive Chairman of American Shared Hospital Services, commented, “With the acquisition of 60% of three Rhode Island radiation therapy cancer centers now closed, we are excited to report a gain of $3.7 million that we were able to realize immediately. This came about from the valuation of the assets acquired that exceeded our purchase price.”
“Our Q2’2024 was a strong quarter for AMS with improvement in operations and a strong focus on continued execution. Our leasing business also remains solid with the signing of 5 lease extensions over the last 15 months from our base of ten domestic Gamma Knife sites and we have several others in discussion.”
“Additionally, we continue to see international patient volumes growing nicely with the new state-of-the-art Gamma Knife ICON firmly in place, the only Gamma Knife in Ecuador for non-invasive radiosurgery. Our Gamma Knife in Peru, the only Gamma Knife in the country also showed strong results in the second quarter. And in addition to our joint venture agreement for Gamma Knife facility in Guadalajara, Mexico that we recently announced, our international center in Puebla, Mexico has begun treating patients which we expect to be another solid revenue contributor going forward.”
“The second quarter marks a strong start to the year, with revenue growth of 27% to $7.1 million and we earned $3.6 million in net income or $0.55 per share compared to a net loss of ($111,000) or ($0.02) due to the solid expansion of our retail segment and the bargain purchase from the Rhode Island acquisition. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the second quarter with cash and equivalents of $14.5 million, or approximately $2.24 per share.”
Craig Tagawa, President and Chief Operating Officer, added, “It is extremely gratifying to see our growth strategy taking hold as we expanded our product portfolio and increased our capacity for creative financial solutions. We have continued to see a significant increase the breadth of opportunities for consideration and our sales pipeline remains extremely strong with additional projects in the works. The traction continues to grow and with the strength of our overall business supported by our strong balance sheet and consistent cash flow, we are well positioned for future growth,” concluded Mr. Tagawa.
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenue increased 27% to $7,056,000 compared to $5,568,000 in the year-ago period. Revenue from the Company’s medical equipment leasing (“leasing”) segment was $3,899,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $4,812,000 for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 19%. Revenue from the Company’s direct patient services (“retail”) segment was $3,157,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $756,000 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 318%. The increase was due to the acquisition in Rhode Island and increased volumes at our existing retail locations.
Second quarter revenue for the Company's proton beam radiation therapy system installed at Orlando Health in Florida decreased 5% to $2,420,000 compared to revenue for the second quarter of 2023 of $2,545,000 due to continued cyclical volume changes.
Total proton beam radiation therapy fractions in the second quarter were 1,236 compared to 1,370 proton beam radiation therapy fractions in the second quarter of 2023, a 10% decline.
Total revenue for the Company's Gamma Knife operations decreased by 9% to $2,744,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $3,023,000 for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in overall Gamma Knife revenue was primarily due to the expiration of 2 contracts in 2023 partially offset by a 67% increase in international Gamma Knife revenue.
Total Gamma Knife procedures increased by 10% to 340 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 309 in the second quarter of 2023, reflecting the growth at our international sites, offset by the two expired contracts in the second and third quarters of 2023.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 decreased 2% to $2,468,000, or 35% of revenue, compared to gross margin of $2,518,000 million, or 45% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2023. The expansion of our retail segment with its lower gross margin percentages will reduce Company wide margin percentages going forward.
Selling and administrative costs decreased by 5% to $1,896,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $1,988,000 for the same period in the prior year, due to the expiration of the Company’s corporate office space lease, offset by related sublease income.
Interest expense was $385,000 in the 2024 period compared to $277,000 in the comparable period of last year. The increase is due to an increase in the interest rate and borrowings on the Company’s variable rate debt.
Operating income for the second quarter was breakeven due to the additional costs related to the closing of the Rhode Island acquisition and other new business opportunities of $361,000. In the prior year quarter, the amount of costs incurred pursuing opportunities in Rhode Island was $250,000, and coupled with other higher selling expenses led to a second quarter 2023 loss of $325,000. Income tax was a benefit of $31,000 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to an income tax benefit of $35,000 for the same period in the prior year. The taxes related to the bargain purchase gain reduce the gain (from $4.9 million to $3.7 million) and do not impact income tax expense.
Net income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services in the second quarter of 2024 was $3,602,000, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $111,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain generated from the acquisition in Rhode Island. Fully diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were 6,583,000 and 6,336,000 for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $2,010,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1,938,000 for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was due to the contribution from the recently acquired Rhode Island facilities.
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue increased 17% to $12,272,000 compared to revenue of $10,493,000 for the first six months of 2023.
Gamma Knife revenue decreased 6% to $5,311,000 for the first half of 2024 compared to $5,634,000 for the first half of 2023. The number of Gamma Knife procedures in the first six months of 2024 was 613, an increase of 2% compared to 602 Gamma Knife procedures in the comparable period of 2023 due to the steady increase of international procedures. Proton therapy revenue increased 4% to $5,069,000 for the first half of 2024 compared to $4,859,000 for the first half of 2023. Total proton therapy fractions in the first six months of 2024 were 2,512, a decrease of 14% compared to 2,906 proton therapy fractions in the comparable period of 2023.
Net income attributable to American Shared Hospital Services for the first six months of 2024 was $3,721,000, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to net income of $77,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, or the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain generated from the acquisition in Rhode Island.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3,754,000 for the first six months of 2024, compared to $3,841,000 for the first six months of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher fees associated with new business opportunities, including the Company’s acquisition in Rhode Island.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA, the non-GAAP measure presented in this press release and supplementary information, is not a measure of performance under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, including that it does not have a standardized meaning. When assessing our operating performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, and investors should also consider, income before income taxes, income from operations, net income attributable to the Company, earnings per share and other measures of performance as defined by GAAP as indicators of the Company's performance or profitability.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure representing our earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, loss on write down of impaired assets and associated removal costs, bargain purchase gain, and stock-based compensation expense.
We use this non-GAAP financial measure as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and charges that may not be indicative of the operating results of our recurring core business, such as stock-based compensation expense. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance.
