Imaging software provider Vital Images of Milwaukee reported first-quarter fiscal 2004 revenues of $7.7 million, up 14% compared with the $6.8 million posted a year ago.
In the 2004 first quarter (end-March 31), Vital Images reported a net loss of $1.1 million, compared with $654,000 in net income for the first quarter of 2003. The loss includes previously announced amortization costs of $163,000 and a write-off of in-process research and development costs of $1 million related to the firm's acquisition of HInnovation, which closed in February, Vital Images said.
The firm noted that its first-quarter 2004 sales through its U.S. and international marketing distribution agreement with Toshiba Medical Systems of Tochigi, Japan, rose to $5.3 million, or 69% of total revenue, compared to $3 million, or 45% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2003.
For the second quarter of 2004, Vital Images said it expects total revenue of $7.5 million to $8.5 million, and also a net loss, which will include $326,000 in costs related to the amortization of intangibles purchased in the HInnovation acquisition.
The company continues to anticipate 2004 annual revenue growth of 25%-35%, and expects to report a net loss for the 2004 year of less than $900,000, with quarterly profitability occurring by the fourth quarter of 2004, Vital Images said.
