First Choice Healthcare Solutions Announces Record 2013 Year-End Results

MELBOURNE, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2014) - First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: FCHS) ("FCHS" or "First Choice"), a diversified holding company focused on delivering clinically superior, patient-centric, multi-specialty care through state-of-the-art medical centers of excellence, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

2013 Financial Highlights

• Total revenues climbed 71% to $6.51 million from total revenues of $3.81 million reported for 2012.
  
  
  • Net patient service revenue generated by the Company's flagship medical center of excellence, First Choice Medical Group of Brevard ("FCMG"), more than doubled, rising 106% to $5.46 million as compared to $2.65 million in the prior year.
    
    
• Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $978,150, compared to a loss from operations of $277,740 for the prior year.
  
  
  • Notwithstanding non-cash expenses totaling $1,575,400 for stock-based compensation, impairment of investment, depreciation and amortization, income from operations totaled $597,250 in 2013. This compared to income from operations in 2012 of $89,507 deducting non-cash expenses totaling $367,247 for depreciation and amortization.
    
    
• Due principally to the aforementioned non-cash charges and after factoring non-cash interest expense relating to the accounting of the private placement completed in November 2013 and other capital restructuring costs, the 2013 net loss totaled $4.70 million, or $0.35 loss per basic and diluted share, which compared to a net loss of $873,000, or $0.07 loss per basic and diluted share, for 2012.
  
  
• As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and restricted cash totaling approximately $995,000, an increase of approximately $660,000 from December 31, 2012; and accounts receivable of $1.27 million, up from $528,000 in 2012.
  
  

Chris Romandetti, FCHS President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2013 was a very rewarding year for our Company -- a year in which we made material progress implementing and validating our Medical Centers of Excellence business model. The strong financial performance of our flagship center, FCMG, is in large measure due to the success we've had in expanding our team of physicians in 2013 to eight -- with three of these doctors joining us in the recent fourth quarter. Enhancing our overall mix of diagnostic and ancillary service offerings during the year, coupled with our local television and print marketing activities and community outreach initiatives, have served to fuel growth of our regional network of referring physicians, hospitals and surgical centers, which, in turn, has led to notable growth of the number of patients that now rely on FCMG for their musculoskeletal, diagnostic and rehabilitative care."

Continuing, Romandetti added, "Management is now squarely focused on replicating our Medical Center of Excellence model in key expansion markets. Increasing our top line revenues to at least $12 million by successfully executing our defined growth strategies, and continuing to practice expense discipline with a focus on profitability, are among our chief priorities in the current fiscal year. The Company believes these milestones coincide with our overarching goal of increasing shareholder value, and feel that we are well poised to make significant progress towards achieving our stated goals and objectives."
