Overview
We are a national provider of diagnostic imaging services in the United States. At March 31, 2023, we operated directly or indirectly through joint ventures with hospitals, 363 centers located in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Our operations comprise two segments for financial reporting purposes for this reporting period, Imaging Centers and Artificial Intelligence. For further financial information about these segments, see Note 5, Segment Reporting, in the notes accompanying our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Our centers provide physicians with imaging capabilities to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders and may reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, often reducing the cost and amount of care for patients. Integral to the imaging center business is our software arm headed by eRAD, Inc., which sells computerized systems that distribute, display, store and retrieve digital images. Internationally, our subsidiary Heart and Lung Imaging LLC, provides teleradiology services for remote interpretation of images on behalf of providers within the framework of the United Kingdom's National Health Service.
We have also established an Artificial Intelligence ("AI") division, that develops and deploys AI suites to enhance radiologist interpretations of breast, lung and prostate images. The division is led by DeepHealth, and includes our acquisitions of Aidence Holding B.V. and Quantib B.V., both based in The Netherlands.
The following table shows our centers in operation and revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022
Centers in operation 363 346
Net revenues (millions) $ 391 $ 342
Our revenue is derived from a diverse mix of payors, including private, managed care capitated and government payors. We believe our payor diversity mitigates our exposure to possible unfavorable reimbursement trends within any one payor class. Our total service fee revenue, net of contractual allowances and discounts, and implicit price concessions for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Recent Developments
As 2023 begins, we continue to have strong growth in our procedure volumes, which have increased 14% in the same period over the prior year on an overall basis, and we have opened 10 new advanced imaging centers. In December of 2022, our subsidiary DeepHealth, Inc, received FDA clearance of its mammography density assessment software that assists radiologists in interpreting visual images. In February of 2023, we launched our Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection service, powered by DeepHealth AI, which provides patients an advanced screening mammography service along with a life time risk assessment for breast cancer and post mammography support. Initial locations for this service are in Florida, New Jersey and New York.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. In Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The most significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates are described below.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements; our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations during the reporting periods. These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management’s control. As a result, actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenues
Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payors and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide diagnostic services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide diagnostic services are satisfied. Our performance obligations for diagnostic services are generally satisfied over a period of less than one day. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payor (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payors. The payment arrangements with third-party payors for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates per diagnostic services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations, changes in business and economic conditions, and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract re-negotiations and renewals.

Table of Contents
As it relates to the Group, this service fee revenue includes payments for both the professional medical interpretation revenue recognized by them as well as the payment for all other aspects related to our providing the imaging services, for which we earn management fees. As it relates to others centers, this service fee revenue is earned through providing the use of our diagnostic imaging equipment and the provision of technical services as well as providing administration services such as clerical and administrative personnel, bookkeeping and accounting services, billing and collection, provision of medical and office supplies, secretarial, reception and transcription services, maintenance of medical records, and advertising, marketing and promotional activities.
Our revenues are based upon our management's estimate of amounts we expect to be entitled to receive from patients and third-party payors. Estimates of contractual allowances under Medicare, Medicaid, managed care and commercial insurance plans are based upon historical collection experience of the payments received from such payors in accordance with the underlying contractual agreements. Revenues related to uninsured patients and uninsured copayment and deductible amounts for patients who have health care coverage may have price concessions applied. We also record estimated implicit price concessions (based primarily on historical collection experience) related to uninsured accounts to record self-pay revenues at the estimated amounts we expect to collect.
Under capitation arrangements with various health plans, we earn a per-enrollee amount each month for making available diagnostic imaging services to all plan enrollees under the capitation arrangement. Revenue under capitation arrangements is recognized in the period in which we are obligated to provide services to plan enrollees under contracts with various health plans. Our estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition did not change materially for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Accounts Receivable
Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due under fee-for-service contracts from third party payors, such as insurance companies and government-sponsored healthcare programs, or directly from patients. Services are generally provided pursuant to one-year contracts with healthcare providers. Receivables generally are collected within industry norms for third-party payors. We continuously monitor collections from our payors and maintain an allowance for bad debts based upon specific payor collection issues that we have identified and our historical experience. Our estimates and assumptions for allowances on our account receivable did not change materially during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Business Combination
We evaluate all acquisitions under the framework Clarifying the Definition of a Business in the accounting guidance. Once a purchase has been determined to be the acquisition of a business, we are required to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Any portion of the purchase consideration transferred in excess of the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is allocated to goodwill. The allocation requires our management to make estimates of the value of various assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangibles
Goodwill at March 31, 2023 totaled $687.1 million. Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets at March 31, 2023 were $24.3 million and are associated with the value of certain trade name intangibles and in process research and development (IPR&D). Goodwill, trade name intangibles and IPR&D are recorded as a result of business combinations. When we determine the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recognized which should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We determined fair values for each of the reporting units using the market approach, when available and appropriate, or the income approach, or a combination of both. We assess the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time we perform the valuation. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted appropriately.
Our annual test of goodwill, trade name and IPR&D noted no impairment as of October 1, 2022, and we have not identified any indicators of impairment through March 31, 2023.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation rose $1.2 million, or 11.3% to approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $10.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2022. Although the fair value of stock awarded and vested in the first quarter of 2023 was lower as compared to stock awarded and vested in the prior year, the higher amount of shares granted over the same period in the prior year spurred the increase.

Total Interest Expense $15,722 $11,601 $4,121 35.5 %
Cash Paid for Interest $21,471 $7,448 $14,023 188.3 %
The rise in total interest expense is attributable to a higher overall loan balances in combination with increased variable interest rates paid on those balances compared to the same period in the prior year. The change in cash paid for interest relates to timing of interest rate elections, as our interest payment in the first quarter included interest charged to our term loan balances in 2022.
During 2022 we refinanced our Truist term loan which added an additional $108.0 million in obligations to our balance sheet in the fourth quarter. Based on recent increases in global interests rates, we expect the effective interest rates on our senior credit facilities, and our related interest expense, to continue to rise in the near term. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more details on our credit facilities.
To mitigate our future interest expense exposure we have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received cash payments from our swap agreements of approximately $3.0 million, which served to reduce our overall interest expense. See the Derivative Instruments section of Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more details on our derivative transactions.
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in the amount of $1.4 million and for three months ended March 31, 2022 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.5 million, an decrease of $1.1 million or 43.3%. The decrease was mainly related to the equity in earnings received from our venture operations in Arizona.

Adjusted EBITDA
We use both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure our financial results. We believe that, in addition to GAAP metrics, certain non-GAAP metrics, such as Adjusted EBITDA assist us in measuring our business performance, cash generated from operations, leverage capacity and ability to service our debt obligations.
Our Adjusted EBITDA metric removes non-cash and non-recurring charges that occur in the affected period and provides a basis for measuring the Company’s core financial performance against other periods.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude losses or gains on the disposal of equipment, other income or loss, loss on debt extinguishment, bargain purchase gains, loss on de-consolidation of joint ventures and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA includes equity earnings in unconsolidated operations and subtracts allocations of earnings to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries, and is adjusted for non-cash or one-time events that take place during the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used as an analytical indicator by us and the healthcare industry to assess business performance, and is a measure of leverage capacity and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is therefore susceptible to varying methods of calculation and this metric, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We operate in a capital intensive, high fixed-cost industry that requires significant amounts of capital to fund operations. In addition to operations, we require a significant amount of capital for the initial start-up and development of new diagnostic imaging centers, the acquisition of additional centers and new diagnostic imaging equipment. Because our cash flows from operations have been insufficient to fund all of these capital requirements, we have depended on the availability of financing under credit arrangements with third parties to fund our working capital requirements.
We have credit available from our current credit facilities and borrowing under those facilities is subject to continued compliance with lending covenants. We currently meet those requirements, and expect that we will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, but substantial and sustained operating losses could impact our ability to borrow under those facilities. If we are not able to meet such requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
On a continuing basis, we also consider various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. These types of transactions may result in future cash proceeds or payments but the general timing, size or success of any acquisition, divestiture or joint venture effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing from amounts available under our senior secured credit facilities or through new equity or debt issuances.
We and our subsidiaries or affiliates may from time to time, in our sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt or equity securities in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table summarizes key components of our sources and uses of cash (in thousands) for the three months ended:

Cash used in investing activities (65,556) (61,564)
Cash used in financing activities (3,821) (3,313)
Our cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was affected by the non-cash change in fair value of our interest rate hedge of $20.8 million.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included purchases of property and equipment for approximately $55.9 million and the acquisition of imaging business and other assets for $9.6 million. As part of our business operations we continually evaluate investment opportunities.

The Barclays credit facilities are comprised of first lien term loans and a revolving credit facility of $195.0 million. The Truist credit facilities are comprised of a term loan and a revolving credit facility of $50.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit facilities. Deferred financing costs at March 31, 2023, net of accumulated amortization, were $2.1 million and are specifically related to our revolving credit facilities.
Included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 are $860.4 million of total term loan debt (exclusive of unamortized discounts of $11.8 million) in thousands:

Truist Term Loan 148,125 (1,188) 146,937
Total Term Loans $ 860,438 $ (11,794) $ 848,644
At March 31, 2023, we had no borrowings under our Barclays or Truist revolving credit facilities. After reserves for outstanding letters of credit of $7.6 million, we have $187.4 million available for borrowing under our Barclays Credit Facility and $50.0 million available under our Truist Revolving Credit Facility.
We expect our existing capital resources, anticipated cash from operations and our borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. Please see Note 6, Credit Facilities and Notes Payable in the notes to consolidated financials statements included in this report for more information on our secured credit facilities.
