Record Revenue and Earnings Driven by Strong Growth in Digital Mammography CAD

NASHUA, N.H., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD),
an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) solutions for
the early identification of cancer, today announced record financial results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  Financial highlights for
the second quarter of 2008 include the following (all comparisons are with the
second quarter of 2007):
    -- Record total revenue of $10.5 million, up 73 percent
    -- Record digital revenue of $8.0 million, up more than 100 percent
    -- International revenue of $693,000, up nearly 300 percent
    -- Gross margin of 83.6 percent, up more than 350 basis points
    -- Record net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per basic share
    -- Fourth consecutive quarter with positive cash flow


    Other highlights of the quarter include:
    -- Receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the
Company's SecondLook(R) Digital CAD system for sale with Fujifilm's Computed
Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) systems.  SecondLook Digital for FCRm is
the first CAD product approved and available in the U.S. for use with computed
radiography.
    -- Announcement of the acquisition of CAD Sciences, a privately held
medical technology company that develops and distributes pharmacokinetic-based
CAD products that aid in the interpretation of contrast enhanced Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) images of the breast and prostate.
    -- Ranked #1 in mammography CAD by MD Buyline's User Satisfaction Report
for the first two quarters of 2008.
    -- Established a $5 million line of credit with RBS Citizens Bank to
replace the line of credit with the Company's founder.
    -- Appointed Anthony F. Ecock, a Senior Operating Executive with the
private equity firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, and former Vice President
and General Manager of GE Healthcare to the Company's Board of Directors.
    "We are especially proud of our financial performance during the second
quarter 2008 as it was a record quarter by all financial measurements.  We
achieved records in revenue, gross margin, net income and cash flow, among
other financial metrics relevant for a growing, healthy company," commented
Ken Ferry, iCAD's President and CEO.  "In addition to the continued strong
demand for our digital products, the quarter was positively impacted by the
FDA approval of our SecondLook Digital product for use with Fujifilm's
Computed Radiography for Mammography systems.  SecondLook Digital for FCRm
represents a considerable market opportunity as it is the first CAD product
approved and available in the U.S. for use with computed radiography, a
successful and growing product category for Fujifilm.  The second quarter of
2008 also benefited from the launch of a new version of our comparative
reading solution, TotalLook MammoAdvantage(TM).  We expect increasing demand
for this advanced comparative reading solution as the transition from film to
digital mammography continues, and the need to digitize archived film images
grows as well."
    "Growth opportunities for the digital CAD market continue to be strong as
there remains considerable room for sustained expansion in the coming years.
According to the FDA website, as of the close of the second quarter of 2008,
38 percent of the installed mammography base in the U.S. had transitioned to
digital, leaving 62 percent of the just over 13,500 systems available for
conversion to digital in the coming years.  With CAD selling at a nearly one
to one attachment rate to digital systems placed, we are confident that there
is substantial opportunity for growth over the next two to three years, as
these centers continue to migrate to digital technology."
    Commenting on the recently completed acquisition of CAD Sciences, Mr.
Ferry said, "Our acquisition of CAD Sciences broadens our leadership position
beyond mammography CAD and provides a comprehensive portfolio of advanced
image analysis and workflow solutions for the early detection of the most
prevalent cancers.  Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography
(CT) are demonstrating significant advances in the imaging sector and our
internal development program for colon cancer detection with CT, along with
this acquisition, extends our reach to the imaging modalities of CT and MRI,
in addition to our expertise in film-based, digital radiography and computed
radiography."
    "Our integration of this key CAD technology for breast and prostate MRI
should provide significant synergy regarding customer call points for our
sales team, and we expect physician adoption to be accelerated by iCAD's
strong market position in mammography CAD," he added.
    2008 Second Quarter Results
    Total revenue for the second quarter of 2008 was $10.5 million, a 73
percent increase compared with total revenue of $6.1 million for the second
quarter of 2007.  The increase reflects continued strong growth in sales of
the Company's digital products, specifically the Company's SecondLook product.
Second quarter 2008 also benefited from the launch of the Company's new
version of its TotalLook MammoAdvantage product, as customers held off
purchasing decisions in the first quarter of 2008 awaiting this new product.
The modest gains in service and supply revenue are primarily due to new
service contracts for digital products offset by declining new contracts from
film-based product sales, which are maturing.  In addition, service and supply
revenue continues to be impacted by reduction in time and material billings
for repair services and related parts sales as the market transitions to
digital systems, which require less service and repair.  Over time, the
Company expects to see growth in this segment as digital CAD systems sales
grow and transition from warranty to service contracts.
    The gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 increased to 83.6 percent
from 80.0 percent in the prior-year second quarter.  For the second quarter of
2008, the Company posted net income, including stock-based compensation
expense of $425,000, of $2.4 million or $0.06 per basic share, compared with a
net loss, including stock-based compensation expense of $216,000, of
($866,000) or ($0.02) per basic share in the second quarter of 2007.
    For the second quarter of 2008, sales of iCAD's digital products increased
101 percent to $8.0 million from $4.0 million in the prior-year period.  Sales
of film-based products increased 31.7 percent to $1.7 million from $1.3
million, and service and supply revenue increased 3.7 percent to $872,000 from
$841,000, both compared with second quarter 2007 results.

period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008, including stock-
based compensation expense of $817,000, increased to $1.9 million or $0.05 per
basic share, compared with a net loss, including stock-based compensation
expense of $493,000, of ($1.4 million), or ($0.04) per basic share, for the
six months ended June 30, 2007.
    For the first six months of 2008, sales of iCAD's digital solutions
increased 65.2 percent over the prior-year period to $12.2 million from $7.4
million.  Film-based analog products sales of $3.1 million were essentially
flat compared with $3.1 million of analog product sales recorded during the
first six months of 2007.  During the first six months of 2008, service and
supply revenue decreased by 4 percent to $1.6 million from $1.7 million
reported for the first six months of 2007.

    Commenting on the balance sheet, Darlene Deptula-Hicks, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "During the second quarter of
2008, we significantly improved our balance sheet and generated over $1.9
million in cash, marking our fourth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow.
Importantly, while we achieved over 72 percent revenue growth during the
quarter, we held operating expenses to a very modest 11 percent increase."
    As of June 30, 2008, iCAD had cash and cash equivalents of $7.1 million,
compared with $4.3 million as of December 31, 2007.  As of the second quarter
2008, inventories increased modestly to $2.1 million from $1.8 million as of
December 31, 2007, primarily due to preparing for the launch of SecondLook for
Fujifilm's FCRm.  Accounts payable were $1.8 million, down slightly from $2.0
million and accounts receivable modestly decreased to $6.2 million, from $6.5
million as of December 31, 2007.   Backlog as of June 30, 2008 increased by 70
percent to $2.7 million compared with June 30, 2007.
    2008 Financial Guidance
    iCAD today introduces financial guidance for the second half of 2008.  The
Company expects total revenue for the second half of 2008 to be in the range
of $21 million to $22 million.  On a full year basis, total revenue is
projected to be in the range of $38 million to $39 million. The Company also
expects to achieve second half gross margins consistent with or better than Q2
of 2008 of 83.6 percent, and anticipates operating expenses for the second
half to be between $14.5 million and $15.3 million and weighted more heavily
in the fourth quarter. This operating expense guidance includes approximately
$2.0 million in spending for a combination of the integration costs associated
with the acquisition of CAD Sciences, which includes revamping the "go to
market" strategy for the Breast and Prostate MRI CAD products and preparations
for the re-launch of these products in Q4 2008, along with the costs
associated with the clinical trial for the Company's colon CAD product which
is currently underway in partnership with ACR Image Matrix, and expected to
conclude in December 2008.  Approximately $1.1 million of these $2.0 million
anticipated expenses should be second half only expenses.  We expect net
income to be between $2.7 million and $3.0 million for the second half of
2008.
