VitalWorks Reports Third-Quarter Results
RIDGEFIELD, Conn., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- VitalWorks Inc. (NASDAQ:VWKS), a
leader in radiology and medical information technology solutions, today
reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2004.
Total revenues for the quarter were $28.4 million, compared to $27.9 million
for the June 2004 quarter and $28.1 million for the September 2003 quarter.
Revenues rose sequentially by 1.9% and approximately 69% of revenues were of a
recurring nature. The company had operating income of $.5 million for the
September 2004 quarter, compared to $.4 million for the June 2004 quarter and
operating income of $3.3 million for the September 2003 quarter.
The company had net income of $.1 million (breakeven per share) for the
September 2004 quarter, compared to net income of $9 thousand (breakeven per
share) for the June 2004 quarter and net income of $3.0 million, or $.06 per
diluted share, for the corresponding period ended September 30, 2003. The
amounts for 2004 include the operating results of AMICAS, Inc., which was
acquired by the company on November 25, 2003.
EBITDA for the quarter amounted to $2.0 million (operating income of $.5
million excluding depreciation and amortization expense of $1.5 million), which
compares to EBITDA of $2.0 million for the June 2004 quarter (operating income
of $.4 million excluding depreciation and amortization expense of $1.6 million)
and EBITDA of $4.3 million for the September 2003 quarter (operating income of
$3.3 million excluding depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million).
VitalWorks believes that the EBITDA measurement is a meaningful indicator of
the company's core operating performance and is used by management in
evaluating such performance and in planning for future periods. This non-GAAP
financial measure should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an
alternative for, the company's GAAP financial measures.
Some of the more significant customer partnerships that were signed during the
quarter include:
* McLaren Health Care Corporation, headquartered in Flint, Michigan, for
AMICAS Vision Series PACS. McLaren Health Care Corporation is one of
the top 25 integrated health care systems in the United States.
McLaren's reach embraces 22 counties with four regional hospitals--
McLaren Regional Medical Center; Lapeer Regional Medical Center; Ingham
Regional Medical Center; and Bay Regional Medical Center. AMICAS Vision
Series PACS will be implemented at all four of the organization's
hospitals.
* Delnor Community Hospital, located in Geneva, Illinois, for AMICAS
Vision Series PACS. A not-for-profit 118-bed facility, Delnor
Community Hospital will be using AMICAS Vision Series PACS to support
its nearly 400 physicians.
* Baptist M&S Imaging Centers, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, for
RadConnect RIS and AMICAS Vision Series PACS. Baptist M&S Imaging
Centers is a partnership that was recently formed between the 22
radiologists at M&S Imaging and the Baptist Health System. The
integrated solution of AMICAS Vision Series PACS and RadConnect RIS
will be deployed at all five imaging center locations.
* Tristan Associates, headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for
RadConnect RIS and AMICAS Vision Series PACS. Tristan Associates is a
17-radiologist group which owns six imaging centers, serving the
greater central Pennsylvania area.
* Valley Open MRI & Diagnostic Center, located in Kingston, Pennsylvania,
for RadConnect RIS and AMICAS Vision Series PACS. The integrated
RIS/PACS solution will be used by their three radiologists who serve
the Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania.
* Lutheran Medical Center, located in Brooklyn, New York, for AMICAS
Vision Series PACS. Lutheran Medical Center is a 476-bed hospital and
a major teaching affiliate of the State University of New York Health
Science Center.
"I am very pleased with the progress we have made in acquiring new business,"
said Dr. Stephen N. Kahane, VitalWorks' president and CEO. "This is clearly
reflected by the growth of our backlog and deferred revenue, and by the record
number of orders signed during the quarter. In particular, the radiology
division has shown significant strength with continued strong sales and large
competitive wins, evidenced by the division's record orders, as well as its
year over year revenue growth of 41%, excluding HIPAA-related revenues in the
prior year."
VitalWorks ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents totaling $15.7
million and long-term debt totaling $24.1 million. In the quarter, the company
made capital investments of $.8 million toward product development and for
computer hardware and software, and repaid $1.1 million of its outstanding
debt. The company has working capital of $6.1 million, which includes deferred
revenue of $14.7 million, and its current ratio is 1.2 to 1, compared to 1.3 to
1 at year end.
Days sales outstanding (calculated as accounts receivable, net of allowances,
divided by quarterly revenues multiplied by 90 days) was 56 days, compared to
55 days for the June 2004 quarter.
The company currently expects total revenues for the December quarter to be
approximately $30 million, which includes $12.3 million from the company's
Radiology unit and $17.7 million from the Medical unit. This compares to the
first nine months of revenues of $83.1 million, including $30.4 million from
Radiology and $52.7 million from the Medical unit. VitalWorks now expects to
post full-year net operating results at the low end of its guidance (earnings
of $(.07) to $.02 per share) published last February. These estimates assume,
among other things, an expense charge related to the relocation of the
company's corporate offices of approximately $800 thousand.

Safe Harbor Statement
Except for the historical information herein, the matters discussed in this
release include forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements
contained in this release include statements about future financial and
operating results. When used in this press release, the words: believes,
intends, plans, anticipates, expects, estimates, and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such
forward-looking statements which include: the company operates with a minimal
amount of software licensing and system sales backlog and a significant portion
of the company's quarterly sales of software product licenses and computer
hardware is concluded in the last month of the fiscal quarter, generally with a
concentration of such revenues earned in the final ten business days of that
month (therefore, quarterly and annual revenues and operating results are
highly dependent on the volume and timing of the signing of license agreements
and product deliveries during each quarter, which are very difficult to
forecast); the length of sales and delivery cycles; the availability of
specified computer hardware for resale; the size and timing of orders for
products and services; changes in the mix of products and/or services sold; the
deferral and/or realization of deferred software license and system revenues
according to contract terms; the timing, cost and success or failure of new
product and service introductions and product upgrade releases; the timing,
cost and level of advertising and promotional programs; competition including
product offerings, price and service; customer attrition; uncertainties
concerning threatened, pending and new litigation against the company including
related professional services fees; changes of accounting estimates and
assumptions used to prepare the prior periods' financial statements; changing
economic, political and regulatory conditions, particularly with respect to the
IT-spending environment; the risk that VitalWorks' and AMICAS' businesses
and/or products will not be integrated successfully; costs related to the
merger with AMICAS; the ability to comply with all government laws, rules and
regulations for all applicable products; the inability to achieve revenues from
combined lines of products; and other risks affecting VitalWorks' businesses
generally and as set forth in VitalWorks' most recent filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, management's projections for revenues
and operating results include significant sales of new product and service
offerings, including the company's new image management systems, AMICAS(R)
Vision Series(TM) PACS, its radiology information system, RadConnect(R) RIS,
and its Intuition(TM) product line of practice management and electronic
medical records systems, which may not be realized. Due to these and other
factors, the company's revenues and operating results are very difficult to
forecast. A major portion of the company's costs and expenses, such as
personnel and facilities, are of a fixed nature and, accordingly, a shortfall
or decline in quarterly and/or annual revenues typically results in lower
profitability or greater losses. All forward-looking statements in this press
release are qualified by these cautionary statements and are made only as of
the date of this press release. VitalWorks is under no obligation to (and
expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter their
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. The financial statements and information as of, and for
the periods ended, September 30, 2004 contained in this press release are
subject to review by the company's independent registered public accounting
firm.
