Net Medical Xpress First Quarter Revenue $1.24 Million; Net Income $71K With Strong Growth in Company's Specialist Segment

ALBUQUERQUE, NM - (NewMediaWire) - May 14, 2015 - Net Medical Xpress Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: NMXS) announced today revenue for the first quarter of 2015 of $1,240,000 vs. revenue of $1,271,000 in the first quarter of 2014. The company reported net income of $71,000 or $0.00 per share versus a net loss of ($9,000) or $0.00 per share in the first quarter of last year.

CEO Dick Govatski said, "We are pleased with the rapid growth in our Specialists segment and our ability to generate net income in the quarter. Revenue in the segment grew over 200% with a strong increase in neurological services revenue with a net increase in volume of consults by existing customers. We are adding several new customers, which should further drive revenues in 2015. Primary Care Consultations, which reported $49,000 in revenue, was launched in the third quarter last year (2014). We believe revenues for this service will increase significantly during 2015 as we continue to add new customers.

"We experienced revenue slippage in our largest revenue segment, Net Medical Xpress Services. The teleradiology market is increasingly competitive with customers using more than one teleradiology service to meet their needs at the lowest cost. Nevertheless, we intend to expand our customer base in order to sustain our revenues. Cardiological services revenue also dropped. Both the teleradiology and the cardiological market are highly competitive with new service providers entering the market. Growing competition has increased downward pressure on prices and created a trend for customers to use multiple services to meet their needs.

"The quarter reflected $90,000 in revenue from our portion of a federal grant together with the University of New Mexico to establish a statewide 30-hospital telemedicine network to support critical cerebral emergency support services. Each participating hospital requires our hardware and operational expertise to participate. We also benefited from a decrease in our operating costs reflecting economies of scale in our Specialists segment as a result of growth in that area. Our balance sheet showed cash and equivalents of $409,000 and a working capital surplus of $161,000 as of March 31, 2015," Govatski said.
