President and CEO Commentary
Joseph Capper, President and Chief Executive Officer of CardioNet, commented: "Our second quarter results were our strongest in four years, with positive adjusted net income, driven by the success of our strategic initiatives. For the second consecutive quarter, our patient services segment monitored a record number of patients, resulting in increased revenue both sequentially and year over year. This was due to the continued success of the CardioNet Comprehensive strategy, which was bolstered with the launch of our latest device, the MCOTos 2:1TM. This system enables us to offer our physicians either MCOTTM or wEvent monitoring, on demand, in the convenience of a single device. Looking forward, while it did not have an impact on the quarter, we expect to see a positive impact on patient volume due to our recent agreement with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company.
"The second quarter also benefitted from the acquisition of Cardiocore in the third quarter of last year, which enabled us to post strong gains in our research services business both year over year and sequentially. We continue to view research services as an avenue for significant future growth for the organization.
"As we previously announced, our new holding company structure and corporate name, BioTelemetry, Inc., will become effective August 1. We are excited to begin this new chapter in the Company's history, with a name that more accurately reflects the focus of the organization. With this new structure in place, and our ongoing progress on strengthening our leadership position in cardiac monitoring, diversifying the business and driving efficiencies, we believe that the Company is well-positioned for future growth."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter 2013 was $32.1 million, an increase of 17.0% compared to $27.5 million in the second quarter 2012. Revenue increased $4.6 million primarily due to an increase in research services revenue of $4.7 million with the acquisition of Cardiocore in August 2012, partially offset by $0.5 million lower revenue from the product segment. Additionally, patient services revenue increased $0.4 million mainly due to an increase in patient volume driven by the strength of MCOTTM. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, patient revenue was comprised of 45% Medicare and 55% commercial.
Gross profit for the second quarter 2013 increased to $19.5 million, or 60.7% of revenue, compared to $16.7 million, or 60.9% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the second quarter 2013 on an adjusted basis was $19.8 million, or 61.5% of revenue, excluding $0.3 million related to restructuring and other nonrecurring charges. This compares to gross profit for the second quarter 2012 on an adjusted basis of $17.0 million, or 62.0% of revenue, excluding $0.3 million related to restructuring and other nonrecurring charges. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was related to the growth in the lower margin research services segment.
On a GAAP basis, operating expenses for the second quarter 2013 were $21.7 million, an increase of 18.2% compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter 2012. On an adjusted basis, operating expenses for the second quarter were $19.1 million, a 10.0% increase compared to $17.4 million for the prior year quarter, excluding $2.6 million in the second quarter 2013 and $1.0 million in the second quarter 2012 related to restructuring and other nonrecurring charges. The increase in operating expense was driven by the addition of the Cardiocore operations which was partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense.
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter 2013 was $2.3 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or a loss of $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2012. Excluding expenses related to restructuring and other nonrecurring charges, adjusted net income for the second quarter 2013 was $0.6 million, or a gain of $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to an adjusted net loss of $0.3 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2012, which excludes the impact of restructuring and other nonrecurring charges.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2013, total cash was $19.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the first quarter 2013 and year end 2012. The significant cash uses during the second quarter 2013 included $1.6 million for capital expenditures, primarily medical devices, and $1.3 million related to development of our next-generation cardiac monitoring devices. Positive operating cash flow of $2.5 million helped to offset these expenditures. In addition, consolidated DSO decreased to 53 days, representing a three day decrease compared to the first quarter 2013 and an eight day decrease compared to year end 2012.
