RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumexa Imaging (NASDAQ:LMRI), one of the nation’s largest providers of outpatient imaging services, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and updated its full year 2026 outlook.

"During the second quarter, we continued to build on our momentum, delivering strong same-center growth, expanding our mix of advanced imaging and ramping new centers," said Caitlin Zulla, Chief Executive Officer of Lumexa Imaging. "Some highlights include announcing four new imaging centers year to date and a joint venture with Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), a globally recognized leader in musculoskeletal health, marking our ninth health system partnership and our second new joint venture in the past twelve months."

"With a large and growing addressable market and durable demand tailwinds, we believe Lumexa Imaging is well positioned to deliver sustained, profitable growth while expanding access to high-quality, lower-cost imaging for patients, providers, and payors."

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights:

All comparisons are to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted

Consolidated revenues of $264.2 million, an increase of 5.1% from $251.4 million
System-wide revenue growth of 6.0%
Consolidated advanced outpatient volume growth of 6.8% and 6.3% system-wide
Same-center advanced outpatient volume growth of 5.2% consolidated and 4.9% system-wide

2026 Full Year Outlook:

Lumexa Imaging provided an update on its guidance for the full year ended December 31, 2026.

Reiterating full-year 2026 consolidated revenue guidance of $1.045 billion to $1.097 billion.
Narrowing its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $235 million to $241 million, from its prior range of $234 million to $242 million. The midpoint of $238 million is unchanged.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, as an integral part of managing our business and to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations and financial performance; (ii) facilitate internal comparisons of the historical operating performance of our business operations; (iii) review and assess the operating performance of our management team; and (iv) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operations and annual operating budgets. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see below.

We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS guidance to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because we do not and are not able to provide guidance for those GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and potential variability of certain reconciling items, including transaction costs, severance and executive recruiting. Because such items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide the corresponding reconciliations. However, such reconciling items could have a significant impact on our future results.
