Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. Announces Results For 3Q 2016
DENVER, Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (OTCQX: BDMS), business services provider of PERFECT TEETH® dental practices, announced results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, revenue decreased $698,000, or 4.4%, to $15.2 million. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense ("Adjusted EBITDA") decreased $483,000, or 59.0%, to $335,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased $290,000 to $(517,000) compared to $(227,000) for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net loss per share increased to $(0.28) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $(0.12) for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 2.7%, to $47.5 million. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA decreased $978,000, or 31.2%, to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $517,000 to $(847,000) compared to $(330,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net loss per share increased to $(0.46) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $(0.18) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
A substantial portion of the decline in revenue for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, was concentrated in one region within the Company. The Company believes it is taking the necessary actions to correct the decline in revenue with new management for this region. Additionally, the Company believes that dentist transition partially contributed to the decrease in revenue. The number of dentists affiliated with the Company has declined from 110 at September 30, 2015 to 98 at September 30, 2016. The Company replaced its dentist recruiter in September 2016 in an effort to reverse the decline in the number of its affiliated dentists.
The Company also believes that revenue in the second and third quarters of 2016 has been adversely affected by employee distractions caused by matters related to an activist shareholder group that began making a series of public disclosures critical of the Company, its board and management in May 2016. Additionally, the Company incurred additional expenses during the third quarter in connection with matters related to the activist shareholder group as well as its board of directors' ongoing evaluation of the Company's strategic options.
Significantly contributing to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was negative Adjusted EBITDA from the Company's two most recently opened de novo offices. The Company's de novo offices typically take a period of time after opening before they generate positive Adjusted EBITDA. The two de novo offices had negative Adjusted EBITDA of $114,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and $435,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As previously announced, the Company does not intend to open any additional de novo offices for the balance of the year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid approximately $409,000 in dividends to its shareholders, had capital expenditures of $685,000 and decreased total bank debt outstanding by approximately $269,000.
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 69 dental offices, of which 36 were acquired and 33 were de novo developments. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 98 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 quarter ended September 30, 2016 on Monday, November 14, 2016 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, and the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. 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 loss 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 benefit to net loss as in the table below.
