Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. Announces Earnings For Fourth Quarter And Year Ended 2012
DENVER, March 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: BDMS), operators of PERFECT TEETH® dental practices and Vantage Dental Implant Center, announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, revenue increased $534,000, or 3.8%, to $14.7 million. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash expense associated with stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") increased $121,000, or 15.2%, to $919,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $798,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Net income (loss) for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 decreased $517,000 to $(27,000) compared to $490,000 for the same period of 2011. Net income (loss) per share decreased to $(0.01) for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.26 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
The quarter ended December 31, 2011 was favorably impacted by the remeasurement and subsequent write down of contingent liabilities by $830,000, which the Company recognized as other income. Excluding this adjustment in contingent liabilities, net (loss) for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 would have been $(10,000) compared to net (loss) of $(27,000) for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, and net loss per share would have been $(0.01) for both quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue decreased $766,000, or 1.2%, to $62.4 million. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA increased $120,000, or 2.4%, to $5.0 million. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 decreased $808,000, or 50.0%, to $807,000 compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Earnings per share decreased 48.4%, to $0.44 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.85 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The year ended December 31, 2011 was favorably impacted by the remeasurement and subsequent write down of contingent liabilities by $830,000, which the Company recognized as other income. Excluding this adjustment in contingent liabilities, net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have been $1.1 million compared to net income of $807,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and earnings per share would have been $0.58 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.44 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
In January 2013, the Company changed the operating strategy of its Vantage Dental Implant Center ("Vantage"). Vantage will no longer provide All-on-4™ services to its patients, the procedure for which the Company founded Vantage. The Company has converted Vantage, which had a pre-tax operating loss in 2012 of approximately $1.1 million, into a traditional Perfect Teeth specialty office providing oral surgery and endodontic services. Fred Birner, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated that "We made the decision to put this unprofitable venture behind us and convert the facility to a specialty care center. The traditional specialty services we will now provide at the former Vantage center are the same services we have been successfully providing at other Perfect Teeth offices for over a decade."
For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the revenue increase was largely due to an increased number of dentists and hygienists affiliated with the Perfect Teeth network. For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue was negatively impacted in the first and second quarters by the general economic weakness in the Company's markets, which resulted in patients accepting less expensive treatment plans relative to the same period of 2011.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company opened two de novo offices. One office, which is located in the Tucson, Arizona market, opened on October 31, 2012. The second de novo office is located in the Denver/Boulder, Colorado market and opened December 21, 2012. During December 2012, the Company consolidated the specialty dental services of one of its Denver, Colorado offices into two other offices and subsequently closed this office.
The Company has signed a lease for a de novo office in the Loveland, Colorado market and anticipates this office will open early in the third quarter of 2013.
During 2012, the Company had capital expenditures of $4.2 million, repurchased 37,787 shares of its Common Stock for approximately $622,000 and paid out approximately $1.6 million in dividends to its shareholders. During 2012, total bank debt outstanding increased by approximately $2.2 million. The Company's outstanding bank debt increased because of the Company's commitment to upgrading its existing offices through extensive remodels and/or office relocations and its continued commitment to converting its offices to digital radiography. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company opened two de novo offices, completed remodels and/or relocations on four of its offices and converted four additional offices to digital radiography.
Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. acquires, develops, and manages geographically dense dental practice networks in select markets in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The Company currently manages 65 dental offices, of which 37 were acquired and 28 were de novo developments. The Company currently has 119 dentists. The Company operates its dental offices under the PERFECT TEETH® name.
The Company previously announced it would conduct a conference call to review results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2012 on Friday, March 29, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. MT. In addition to current operating results, the teleconference may include discussion of management's expectations of future financial and operating results.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure of performance or liquidity. However, the Company believes that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense - Offices, depreciation and amortization expense – Corporate, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net and income tax expense to net income and subtracting change in fair value of contingent liabilities as in the table below.
