The results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the results of the recent acquisition of DMS Health, which closed on January 1, 2016.
Digirad President and CEO Matt Molchan said, “We are pleased with our results this quarter, and the performance of all our businesses, including the business units of DMS Health that we acquired at the beginning of the year. As we have stated before, our results can be affected by the timing of product sales on a quarter by quarter basis, and during the third quarter we did experience some of this timing as well as higher than normal parts cost for our product service businesses. However, we expect the product sales timing and underlying parts cost to balance out by the end of the year and continue to be confident of our full year financial guidance, which is supported by our significant year over year performance on a year to date basis through September 2016.”
Digirad Chief Financial Officer Jeff Keyes said, “We are also pleased with the momentum of our cash flow generation on a year to date basis, which beyond our normal quarterly dividend, allowed us to make three extra payments on the highest interest rate tranche of our credit facility. Paying down debt not only reduces our interest expense but it also accretes additional value to our shareholders. And finally, we are excited that we are nearly complete with our operational integration of DMS Health, and expect to finish all major planned integration activities by year end.”
The Company also announced a cash dividend of $0.05 cents per share that will be paid on November 28, 2016, to shareholders of record on November 17, 2016.
