"The third quarter and year-to-date results show good progress from a year ago. We grew service fee revenue and EBITDA excluding the terminated operations, generated strong positive cash flow from operations, further improved our DSO performance, and maintained strong liquidity," said Sami S. Abbasi, president and chief executive officer of Radiologix. "We are pleased with the progress that we are making against our three key focus areas for 2005. Our primary operations are improving, we are on track with our Radiologix Enhanced Workflow And Record Distribution (REWARD) Program, and we have the right pieces in place to execute our longer-term strategy." Sarbanes-Oxley 404 As noted in our 2004 Form 10-K, subsequent to December 31, 2004, but prior to the finalization of our 2004 consolidated financial statements, Radiologix placed into operation new controls to address the material weakness we identified in our accounts receivable estimation process. These new controls include a retrospective collection analysis that matches cash collections to billed charges by month of service. We believe these new controls have remediated the material weakness that existed as of December 31, 2004, and that these controls operated effectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Regulation G: GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Information This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with GAAP. Radiologix uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure its financial results. We believe that, in addition to GAAP metrics, these non-GAAP metrics assist Radiologix in measuring its cash-based performance. Radiologix believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties because it removes unusual and nonrecurring charges that occur in the affected period and provides a basis for measuring the Company's financial condition against other quarters. As Radiologix has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, management also believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting. Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in this release in the tables below. Income from continuing operations is defined as income from continuing operations calculated in accordance with GAAP. Income from continuing operations excluding terminated operations is defined as income from continuing operations, excluding terminated San Antonio and certain Mid-Atlantic operations. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, each from continuing operations, plus restricted stock compensation expense, and is reconciled to its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure. EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations, is defined as EBITDA, excluding terminated San Antonio and certain Mid-Atlantic operations. EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations are non-GAAP financial measures used as analytical indicators by Radiologix management and the healthcare industry to assess business performance. They also serve as measures of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations should not be considered measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. As EBITDA and EBITDA from continuing operations excluding terminated operations are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation, these metrics, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
