(firmenpresse) - SUWANEE, GA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/01/13 -- Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) today reported revenue of $12.9 million for the second quarter, a narrowing loss and an ending cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities balance of $22.2 million.
Digirad President and CEO Matt Molchan said, "Revenues in both DIS and Diagnostic Imaging businesses were up in the second quarter compared to the prior year. Camera sales, especially ergo™ and Cardius™ imaging technologies saw improvements in the period. Progress on the bottom line was also notable as the GAAP net loss was cut to $616,000 -- in a quarter that included more than $600,000 in non-recurring restructuring costs and more than $500,000 in costs associated with a proxy battle and related litigation. We were also able to aggressively return cash to our shareholders by using $3 million of cash to buy over 1.2 million of our own shares."
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $12.9 million, compared to $12.7 million for the same period in the prior year. DIS revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $9.5 million, compared to $9.4 million for the same period of the prior year, and Diagnostic Imaging revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the same period of the prior year.

Adjusted net loss for the 2013 second quarter, excluding the $610,000 in expenses incurred for nonrecurring items related to restructuring activities, was $6,000, or $0.00 loss per share on an adjusted basis.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $4.4 million, compared to $4.6 million in the same period in the prior year. Adjusted operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $3.8 million, compared to the $4.6 million in the same period of the prior year.

Cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities totaled $22.2 million as of June 30, 2013, reflecting the use of $3.0 million in cash during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 for the Company's share repurchase program.

Operating expenses for the first six months of 2013 were $9.7 million, including restructuring and proxy contest and litigation costs, compared to $9.5 million in the same period in the prior year. Adjusted operating expenses for the first six months of 2013 were $8.0 million, compared to the $9.5 million in the same period of the prior year, which reflects the restructuring expenses incurred since the February 28, 2013 restructuring announcement. In addition to the restructuring costs, operating expenses for the first six months of 2013 included approximately $671,000 in costs related to the proxy contest and subsequent on-going litigation with the dissident shareholder group.
Molchan continued, "Our progress internally and in the marketplace during the second quarter was solid. We continue to identify and pursue a growing number of potential 'tuck-in' acquisition targets in key DIS regions. The entire team is focused on right sizing the cost structure around our current revenue levels in order to reach profitability, and at the same time, executing both organic and acquisitive aspects of our new strategy. Remembering that we just announced our restructuring plan on February 28, I am very pleased with the progress so far. We are still deploying other components of our restructuring plan that will result in further savings, and anticipate that the vast majority of the restructuring will be complete by the end of the third quarter leading to improved net income and cash flow on a go forward basis."
