What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Record quarter: “Both the Imaging Center and Digital Health…achieved record quarterly results,” with revenue +8.4% and Digital Health revenue +30.9% YoY .
- Mix/pricing tailwinds: Advanced imaging rose to 27.5% of total volumes (+102 bps YoY); management cited capacity initiatives (MRI software upgrades), CT program expansion (e.g., CCTA with AI analytics), and PET/CT growth on prostate/Alzheimer’s/oncology tracers .
- Tech leverage: TechLive remote scanning “recently cleared by the FDA” reduced MRI room closures by ~42% in a NY pilot; over 300 MR/CT/PET/US systems connected, targeting substantially all advanced imaging equipment by early 2026 .
-
What Went Wrong
- Non‑GAAP adjustments: Q2 had $2.0M non‑cash swap loss, $0.5M de novo lease expense, $0.1M lease abandonment, $2.3M acquisition costs, and $4.8M non‑capitalized DeepHealth Cloud OS & gen‑AI R&D .
- Ongoing labor/capacity challenges: The company continues to address technologist shortages with TechLive and software efficiency tools; capacity still being added via de novos (1 opened in Q2; 9 more targeted for 2H25) .
- Capitation mix drift: Capitation payments were 6.1% of payor mix in Q2 and continue to trend down as some contracts are converted to higher‑priced fee‑for‑service; management framed this as intentional to improve pricing .

Management Commentary
- “Advanced imaging as a percentage of total procedures increased to 27.5%…an improvement of 102 basis points,” driven by MRI software upgrades, CT expansion (e.g., CCTA with AI), and PET/CT growth in prostate/Alzheimer’s and new tracers .
- “TechLive…enabling remote control of advanced imaging equipment to expand hours of operation,” with a NY pilot reducing MRI room closures ~42%; >300 systems connected; targeting substantially all advanced imaging equipment by early 2026 .
- Digital Health growth: EBCD adoption approaching ~45% nationally; iCAD adds 1,500+ provider locations and >8M annual mammograms across 50 countries; See‑Mode ultrasound AI shows up to ~30% scan‑time reduction in early deployment .
- Liquidity: “As of 06/30/2025, our cash balance was $833,000,000 and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 0.96” .
Q&A Highlights
- Capacity and efficiency gains: Management quantified TechLive’s impact (42% fewer MRI room closures in NY pilot) and See‑Mode ultrasound AI (up to ~30% scan‑time reduction), emphasizing high flow‑through margins from pushing more scans through existing fixed cost base .
- De novo pipeline: 11 facilities targeted in 2025 (2 opened YTD; 9 to go) and 11 slated for 2026, implying ~5% center growth vs 405 sites .
- iCAD integration: Early days but aiming to blend ProFound Breast Suite with DeepHealth products into a more comprehensive offering, with cross‑sell across extensive global installed base .
- Medicare 2026: Initial CPT/GPCI analysis implies ~$4–$5M uplift vs 2025; final rule due around Nov 1, 2025 .
- Payor strategy: Capitation remains profitable but RadNet is converting some contracts to FFS for better pricing; despite lower capitation mix, total revenue rises .
- Cost structure: Contact center costs exceed $60M annually; DeepHealth OS and automation aim to lower handling times and boost productivity .
Estimates Context

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Advanced imaging mix shift, improved payer rates, and TechLive‑driven capacity are expanding margins; Adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 16.3% (+57 bps YoY) and could continue to benefit as Digital Health tools scale .
- Full‑year Imaging Center guidance was raised for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA; capex was also raised to support growth—expect continued investment in capacity and tech .
- Digital Health is a structural growth vector (revenue +30.9% YoY in Q2), with iCAD and See‑Mode likely to accelerate adoption and external commercialization in 2H25/2026 .
- Intentional mix pivot from capitation to fee‑for‑service should support pricing/margins despite lower capitation share, consistent with stronger commercial rates .
- Balance sheet strength enables M&A and de novos (cash $833M; net leverage ~0.96x), positioning RadNet to compound growth while funding Digital Health build‑out .
- Watch the 2026 Medicare final rule (~Nov. 2025) and TechLive/DeepHealth OS rollout pace; both are medium‑term earnings drivers .
- Non‑GAAP adds (notably non‑capitalized AI R&D) and definition differences (Adjusted EBITDA vs “EBITDA” in consensus) matter for comps; stick to adjusted EPS/EBITDA for apples‑to‑apples .
