iCAD, Inc. to Announce Second Quarter Earnings on July 28, 2005
NASHUA, N.H., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD(R), Inc.
(NASDAQ: iCAD) an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided
Detection (CAD) solutions for the early identification of cancer,
announced today that on July 28, 2005 it would report its financial
results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005. The
Company stated that, based upon its preliminary analysis of the
results for the second fiscal quarter that ended yesterday, it
expects that overall revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005
will be approximately $4.5 million. The reduced revenue in the
second fiscal quarter is primarily due to a shift in customer
demand during the quarter from the Company's higher priced, higher
volume Second Look(R) 700 film-based mammography CAD systems to the
Company's more affordable Second Look 300 and 200 lines of compact
mammography CAD systems. In the first quarter of 2005, sales of
iCAD's higher volume Second Look 700, 500 and 400 models accounted
for approximately $2.1 million in revenues. The Company estimated
that sales for the Second Look 700 model will account for
approximately $440,000 in sales during the second quarter of 2005.
The Second Look 500 and 400 models have since been discontinued.
Unit sales and revenues for each of the Company's Second Look 300
and 200 models increased from the first quarter of 2005 to the
second quarter. The Company indicated that the vast majority of
purchase decisions and orders for CAD systems have come very near
the end of each quarter, and have required significant time and
attention from iCAD's sales team to assist in the final stages of
complex, clinically and scientifically driven purchase decisions.
The shift from consideration of the Company's Second Look 700
product to consideration of the Company's Second Look 300 and 200
models, coupled with generally increased overall interest in
acquisition of CAD solutions by moderate and smaller case volume
clinics, reduced the number of overall sales in process which
closed by June 30, 2005, and increased the number in which the
sales process continues into the third quarter. "A key part of
iCAD's long-term business and strategic plan has been to create a
market for affordable, easy-to-use CAD solutions for the early
detection of breast cancer, appealing to small-to-moderate volume
breast care practices which rely on X-ray film for their breast
imaging," stated W. Scott Parr, iCAD's President and CEO. "We
believe this represents a great majority of today's potential CAD
purchasers. We also believe a market change towards more affordable
CAD solutions accessible to a larger population of potential buyers
can significantly and disproportionately benefit iCAD, as the
lowest cost producer and the only independent, vertically
integrated manufacturer and software developer in our industry."
"Based on our initial analysis of sales in the second quarter of
2005, we have succeeded in fostering our desired market change more
quickly than expected, and before we were fully prepared for it,"
continued Parr. "As we enter the third quarter, we have accelerated
our schedule and efforts to add to iCAD's sales force. This
initiative will enable us to work with resellers to better convert
an increasing pipeline of identified prospective or projected
buyers of iCAD solutions into iCAD purchasers. We believe this
effort, coupled with other measures to increase the effectiveness
of our sales program, will yield significant benefits." About iCAD,
