DENVER, May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: BDMS),operators of PERFECT TEETH® dental practices, announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, revenue increased $202,000, or 1.2%, to $16.8 million compared to $16.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash expense associated with stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") decreased $189,000, or 13.3%, to $1.2 million compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, but increased from $633,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

Earnings per share decreased to $0.03 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.13 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company has opened four de novo offices: in Tucson, Arizona in the fourth quarter of 2012; in Erie, Colorado in the fourth quarter of 2012; in Loveland, Colorado in July 2013; and in Monument, Colorado in December 2013. The Company has leased space for three additional de novo offices: in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is anticipated to open in May 2014; in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is anticipated to open in the third quarter of 2014; and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is anticipated to open in 2015. The Company is also evaluating and negotiating leases for additional sites throughout its markets. Additionally, the Company has relocated and modernized an office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which opened in March 2014, and has significantly upgraded and converted to digital radiography one of its offices in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which was completed in April 2014.

Fred Birner, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated that "We were encouraged by the substantial rebound in Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2014 from the fourth quarter of 2013 and continue to believe the Company is moving in the right direction and making good progress with our previously discussed initiatives and the continued progress of the four de novo offices."

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company had capital expenditures of $1.1 million, paid approximately $408,000 in dividends to its shareholders and increased total bank debt outstanding by approximately $963,000. The Company's outstanding bank debt increased because of the Company's development of de novo offices and its commitment to upgrading its existing offices through extensive remodels and office relocations and to converting its offices to digital radiography.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure of performance or liquidity. However, the Company believes that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose. Investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense - Offices, depreciation and amortization expense – Corporate, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net and income tax expense to net income as in the table below.
