Conference Call Scheduled for 12:00 PM ET Today
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Shared Hospital Services (NYSE:AMS) (the "Company"), a leading provider of stereotactic radiosurgery equipment and advanced radiation therapy cancer treatment services through its leasing and direct patient care services segments, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Key Financial Highlights
- Q1 2025 Revenue Increased 17% Compared to Q1 2024 Driven by Strategic Expansion and Operational Strength
- Q1 2025 Direct Patient Services Revenue Increased 224% Compared to Q1 2024 Due to the Acquisition of Rhode Island Centers and new Puebla, Mexico Facility
Ray Stachowiak, Executive Chairman of American Shared Hospital Services, stated: "Our first quarter of 2025 was highlighted by double digit revenue growth stemming from the strength of our business model while mitigating lower treatment volumes and some seasonality. Additionally, I am happy to report that we have already begun to see an increase in treatment volumes in April and expect to see further recovery into the back half of this year. Our long-term vision remains strong, and we are on a path of sustained success."
Mr. Stachowiak continued, "We are very pleased with our successful acquisition of the Rhode Island radiation therapy treatment centers and the opening of our Puebla, Mexico facility. We are looking forward to further long-term growth from the new Esprit installed in Guadalajara, Mexico that is expected to startup in late 2025 and from our recent Certificate of Need approvals for the first radiation therapy treatment center in Bristol, Rhode Island and a proton beam radiation therapy treatment center in Johnston, Rhode Island, which will further expand our Rhode Island footprint. We are also exploring additional tuck in acquisition opportunities and are anticipating closing on one this fiscal year. These new business development opportunities will drive continued business growth and together with our focus on improved operational efficiencies and cost controls, positions us well for future profitability."
Gary Delanois, Chief Executive Officer, added: "Despite treatment volume declines in the overall business this past quarter, we continue to see positive momentum building as our growth strategy takes hold and we focus beyond our traditional leasing model to a direct provider of radiation therapy treatment services to cancer patients. The growth of our linear accelerator business is an excellent example of our diversification strategy where we reported $2.4 million in revenue for Q1 2025 compared to zero in Q1 2024."
Mr. Delanois continued, "Cancer treatment volumes can ebb and flow due to changes in such factors as diagnoses mix, patient staging, referring physician consults and physician staffing. We remain focused on expanding our business model, increasing patient volumes, which we have started to see in April, operational enhancements, and we are well positioned for robust long-term growth. We also continue to focus on targeted strategic initiatives to further improve efficiency, reduce operating costs and maximize profitability across our expanding network. Our new business development pipeline, strong balance sheet, and focus on innovation ensures that we are well positioned for our next phase of growth."
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA, the non-GAAP measure presented in this press release and supplementary information, is not a measure of performance under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, including that it does not have a standardized meaning. When assessing our operating performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, and investors should also consider, income before income taxes, income from operations, net income attributable to the Company, earnings per share and other measures of performance as defined by GAAP as indicators of the Company's performance or profitability.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure representing our earnings before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense.
We use this non-GAAP financial measure as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and charges that may not be indicative of the operating results of our recurring core business, such as stock-based compensation expense. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance.
