Insights

Fonar posted mixed Q3 results with 25% higher net income despite 2% lower operating income, indicating effective tax management amid rising costs.

Fonar's Q3 fiscal 2025 results present a somewhat contradictory financial picture. The company achieved 25% growth in net income to $3.1 million and a 37% increase in diluted EPS to $0.37, despite a 2% decline in operating income to $3.7 million. This unusual divergence between operating and net income suggests effective tax planning or non-operational income boosting bottom-line results.

The 6% revenue growth to $27.2 million demonstrates healthy top-line expansion, driven primarily by increased MRI scanning volume, which reached a record 54,612 scans in Q3 (up 3.4% year-over-year). However, costs are growing faster than revenues, with SG&A expenses increasing 5% to $8.0 million for the quarter and 11% for the nine-month period.

From a balance sheet perspective, Fonar maintains exceptional financial stability with a current ratio of 10.0 and a working capital position of $127.1 million. The $54.4 million cash reserve (4% lower than June 2024) represents approximately $8.80 per share in cash, providing significant operational flexibility and potential for strategic investments.

While quarterly results were positive, the nine-month metrics reveal concerning trends: operating income decreased 30% to $10.7 million and net income fell 25% to $9.3 million compared to the prior year period. Management cited "unusual items" including utility charges, taxes, and receivable reserves impacting prior quarters, suggesting Q3's performance may represent a stabilization after earlier challenges.

The ongoing stock repurchase program ($6.07 million of shares repurchased from a $9 million authorization) demonstrates management's confidence and commitment to returning value to shareholders, while also potentially supporting EPS growth through share count reduction.

Fonar's MRI management business shows strong scan volume growth despite operational challenges, with strategic expansion of high-field MRI capabilities.

Fonar's strategic focus on expanding its diagnostic imaging management business continues to drive volume growth, with its subsidiary HMCA setting new records for quarterly MRI scans (54,612 in Q3, up 3.4% year-over-year) and nine-month scan volume (160,780, up 3.9%). This volume increase reflects both growing patient demand and the company's expanding footprint, now managing 44 MRI scanners across New York (26) and Florida (18).

The company's strategic dual-scanner approach represents an intelligent market positioning that leverages its unique STAND-UP® MRI technology. By adding conventional high-field MRIs alongside their proprietary weight-bearing scanners at key locations, Fonar creates complementary capabilities that serve both patient comfort needs and specialized diagnostic requirements. This approach broadens their referring physician base while maximizing facility utilization.

The recent addition of a high-field MRI in Melville, Long Island and the planned installation in Nassau County demonstrate management's commitment to this expansion strategy. These additions address existing patient backlogs while enhancing diagnostic capabilities, allowing the company to capture a larger share of the medical imaging market in their established regions.

The press release also highlighted the company's historical significance through the contribution of Dr. Lawrence Minkoff, who participated in building the world's first MRI machine and was the first person ever scanned. This connection to MRI's origins reinforces Fonar's deep expertise in the technology, which continues to inform their product development and positioning strategy in the competitive medical imaging landscape.

While scan volumes are growing, the increasing operational costs warrant monitoring, as they're outpacing revenue growth in percentage terms. This could indicate rising competitive pressures or inflation in healthcare delivery costs that may constrain margin expansion despite higher volumes.

Management Discussion

Timothy Damadian, Chairman and CEO of FONAR, said, "I am pleased to report that the HMCA set a new company record by completing 54,612 MRI scans in the third quarter of Fiscal 2025, which was 2.8% higher than that of the previous quarter (53,114) and 3.4% higher than that of the corresponding quarter of Fiscal 2024 (52,800). We also set a first nine-month record with 160,780 MRI scans, which was 3.9% higher than that of the corresponding period in Fiscal 2024 (154,790)."

"HMCA now manages 44 MRI scanners, 26 in New York and 18 in Florida. At the tail end of March we added a high-field MRI to the facility we manage in Melville, Long Island. Until that time, the site was equipped with only a STAND-UP® MRI. We manage numerous facilities equipped with both a Stand-Up® MRI and a high-field MRI. This strategy has been very successful. If a site with only a Stand-Up® MRI has a backlog of patients, which was the case in Melville, a second MRI solves that problem. But more than that, the addition of a high-field MRI is a perfect complement to the Stand-Up® MRI. The Stand-Up® MRI is the most "non-claustrophobic," patient-friendly MRI, and it is the only MRI that can scan patients in weight-bearing positions as well as the only MRI that can scan the cervical and lumbar spines in flexion and extension. When especially higher-resolution MRI images are ordered, or if a special high-field protocol is required, the added high-field MRI addresses those needs. The addition of high-field MRIs to existing Stand-Up MRI facilities naturally accommodates a much larger referring physician base and therefore increases business at these facilities. We provide referring physicians the best of both MRI worlds."

Mr. Damadian continued, "Right now we're in the process of installing a high-field MRI in a Stand-Up® MRI facility in Nassau County, Long Island. It is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025. Besides adding second scanners at existing Stand-Up® MRI facilities, we continue to search for locations where brand new Stand-Up® MRI facilities would profitably expand our existing networks in New York and Florida."

"I would also like to report that pursuant to our September 13, 2022 announcement of a FONAR stock repurchase plan of up to $9 million, the Company has, as of March 31, 2025, repurchased 373,942 shares at a cost of $6,071,935. FONAR is limited by the manner, timing, price, and volume restrictions of its share repurchases as prescribed in the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18."

Mr. Damadian concluded, "I remain grateful to our management team and all the employees of FONAR and HMCA for their part in making us a consistently profitable company."

FONAR Historic Legacy

Lawrence Minkoff, Ph.D., A First Pioneer in MRI

Lawrence Minkoff, Ph.D., currently a vice president and senior research scientist at FONAR and one of the founders of FONAR Corporation, was instrumental in the birth of the MRI. While Dr. Damadian is credited with the discovery that cancer scanned by an NMR machine has a longer relaxation time, Dr. Minkoff was there to see it all happen. Dr. Minkoff was one of the team that built the world's first MRI machine (named Indomitable), and was the first person ever scanned in an MRI machine.

Lawrence A. Minkoff was born in Brooklyn in October of 1947. In 1969, he graduated from Worchester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Worchester, MA, with a degree in physics. Among his achievements was his membership in the prestigious Society of the Sigma Xi in 1968. Later in 1969, he entered Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he met Dr. Damadian.

Dr. Minkoff first became interested the sodium potassium transport (pump) while an undergraduate student at WPI. Dr. Damadian was also very interested in the sodium potassium transport. With the two of them a natural fit, Lawrence selected Dr. Damadian to be his mentor while he proceeded to earn a doctorate degree in biophysics in 1974.

In June 1970, Dr. Damadian went to New Kensington, PA with malignant and non-malignant rat tissues to perform the first experiments in Dr. Damadian's ground-breaking research. The results were published in the Journal Science in March 1971 (1). Dr. Minkoff was a graduate student of his at the time and assisted him in the setup and interpretation of the experiment, thus marking the beginning of a long history in MRI. Soon after, they were hard at work building magnets and coils for NMR and doing the world's first MRI scans of mammals. In the December 24, 1976 issue of the Journal Science, a picture, taken by NMR (MRI), of cancer in a live mouse was featured on the cover. This picture pertained to an article being published in that issue. Dr, Minkoff was among those who contributed to this work.(2)

In early 1976, Dr. Minkoff, Dr. Damadian and another former graduate student, Michael Goldsmith, began building a human-sized NMR scanner. It took a year and a half before it was completed in June of 1977. Dr. Minkoff recounted the first attempt to make an image. Dr. Damadian was subject; there was no NMR signal; it was a failure. The group thought it might be because Dr. Damadian was too large for the receiver coil. Dr. Minkoff thought that as he was smaller, it might work on him. No one, to their knowledge, had ever exposed himself to a large magnetic field for a long period of time as was being asked of him. So understandably, Dr. Minkoff had some serious reservations. But on July 2, 1977, he finally agreed to be scanned. The scan began at about 11 pm. To everyone's delight, there was an immediate, generous NMR signal. The world's first MRI scan was underway. After acquiring enough data in that particular "focused spot," Dr. Minkoff was moved to another "focused spot" about an inch away and the data from there was acquired. By 4:45 am, four hours and 20 minutes later, 106 "focused spots" of data, or picture elements, were collected. The world's first MRI scan was completed; it was of Dr. Minkoff's chest and named after the patient, Mink 5. This historic event marked the practical realization of MRI as a medical imaging tool. This "focused spot" technique gave birth to our corporate name FONAR, an alternating acronym for Field FOcused Nuclear MAgnetic Resonance.

In 1978, a company was formed to commercialize the invention. Dr. Minkoff was there along with Dr. Damadian, Dr. Michael Goldsmith and Dr. Joel Stutman. The Company's first product was the QED 80. Four of them were produced before a more powerful and faster scanner, the Beta 3000, was designed and built. Dr. Minkoff played many important roles in the development of these products, thereby contributing to the emergence of MRI as an extremely important medical device.

Dr. Minkoff has since continued to contribute to the field of magnetic resonance imaging. He is listed as an author on many MRI-related patents:

  • Methods for Detecting Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) Using MRI Brain Scans
  • A Magnetic Resonance Catheter Antenna.
  • A Physiological Sensor for Gating MRI Systems to Improve Image Quality
  • Physiological Sensor for Gating MRI Systems
  • Method to Image the Spine to Detect Scoliosis
  • Localized RF Heating
  • Method for MRI Scanning of Animals for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
  • Catheter Antenna for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Expandable MRI Receiving Coil
  • Permanent Magnetic Structure

Among the studies Dr. Minkoff was involved in was an investigation into the effects of backpack loading and body posture on the lumbar spines of children. As a Vice President and Senior Research Scientist at FONAR Corporation, Dr. Minkoff utilized the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (aka STAND-UP® MRI). This MRI scanner is a hallmark of FONAR innovation. It enabled the imaging of the children in the weight-bearing positions of standing with and standing without a backpack, which was critical to capturing posture-dependent spinal changes.

The study, "Body Posture and Backpack Loading: An Upright Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of the Adult Lumbar Spine" was published in 2014. Dr. Minkoff contributed to the technical aspects of the MRI protocol, including optimizing imaging parameters (e.g., slice thickness, field of view) to assess disc height, lordosis angle, and paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area. As a co-author, he participated in designing the study's MRI methodology, ensuring that the UPRIGHT® MRI's unique capabilities were leveraged to differentiate between loaded and unloaded spinal states. The study was conducted in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) (3)

In 2005, FONAR invented a method to measure the flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) on an UPRIGHT® MRI, where the CSF must flow against gravity. The process required the use of a cardiac gating machine. One was purchased for more than $20,000, but its cardiac gating component was not perfect for imaging CSF flow. So Dr. Minkoff designed and engineered his own version of a cardiac gating machine for use on the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI. The cost was just 20% of the cost of the purchased machine; it did a better job and it's still being used today.

Dr. Minkoff also worked with Dr. Damadian on a research project using the FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI. They studied 100 patients who were young, without neck injuries, and therefore likely to have normal CSF flow in their necks. This provided FONAR with a baseline to evaluate patients with CSF flow problems.

Other studies that Dr. Minkoff was greatly involved in were in cooperation with the Department of Radiology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. One study was titled "UPRIGHT VERSUS SUPINE MRI: Effects of Body Position on Craniocervical CSF Flow."(4)(5)

Because of his expertise in CSF Flow studies on the UPRIGHT® MRI, Dr. Minkoff worked with NASA investigators who were concerned with long-duration missions on the International Space Station (ISS) and future exploration-class missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO). They were specifically focused on the 30% of astronauts at the International Space Station who experienced problems with their eyes. On multiple occasions, Dr. Minkoff went to NASA headquarters in Houston and a nearby UPRIGHT® MRI center near the Houston Space Center. (6)(7)

About FONAR

FONAR, The Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978, and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI Company in the industry. FONAR went public in 1981 (NASDAQ: FONR). FONAR sold the world's first commercial MRI to Ronald J. Ross, MD, Cleveland, Ohio. It was installed in 1980. Dr. Ross and his team began the world's first clinical MRI trials in January 1981. The results were reported in the June 1981 edition of Radiology/Nuclear Medicine Magazine and the April 1982 peer-reviewed article in the Journal Radiology. The technique used for obtaining T1 and T2 values was the FONAR technique (Field fOcusing Nuclear mAgnetic Resonance), not the back projection technique. www.fonar.com/innovations-timeline.html.

FONAR's signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down, "weightless-only" scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching TV.

FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which circulates throughout the brain and vertebral column at the rate of 32 quarts per day. This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body's neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR's introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who will benefit from this new understanding.

FONAR's primary source of income and growth is attributable to its wholly-owned diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA) www.hmca.com.

FONAR's substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system. FONAR's UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.
