"The accelerating adoption of BioClinica's enhanced hosted and SaaS clinical trial technology solutions helped drive the company to another year of record service revenue. We also benefitted from ongoing operational efficiency initiatives that contributed toward improved year-over-year non-GAAP operating margin on service revenue," said Mark L. Weinstein, President and CEO of BioClinica.
"Our business was strong across our eClinical and medical imaging offerings as we significantly grew our customer base. We signed a greater number of enterprise-wide agreements and more multi-product agreements than ever before in our history." Mr. Weinstein added, "As the trend continued for clinical trial sponsors to reduce the number of vendors they engage, BioClinica benefitted from our broad spectrum of products and services that are designed with flexibility, speed and ease of use built in. The fact that our solutions are scalable to handle any size study in any phase of development is also a big positive in the market."
Some of the highlights for the year include:
We were awarded 35 Trident IWR contracts for 22 customers.
We launched our enhanced OnPoint CTMS, and added 10 new CTMS clients.
We released a more powerful version of BioClinica Express EDC that makes it easier to monitor protocol compliance, complete studies with greater speed and efficiency, and includes compatibility with Optimizer, our state-of-the-art clinical supply simulator/manager.
We signed several preferred provider agreements with leading pharmaceutical companies and top-tier CROs, increasing our worldwide business footprint.
We expanded our client base by adding 50 new sponsors to our roster, including 22 new medical imaging sponsors and 28 eClinical sponsors. These additional sponsors represent a broad spectrum of international pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
We reorganized our employee teams to better support our growth, particularly to support client-related projects for Trident IWR and OnPoint CTMS.
Mr. Weinstein concluded, "Our backlog of $123.1 million is a record and with our compelling suite of products and services, we are very optimistic about the future. We expect our full-year 2012 service revenue to be in the range of $73 to $77 million, our full-year GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.26 to $0.32 per fully diluted share, and our full-year non-GAAP EPS to be in the range of $0.36 to $0.42 per fully diluted share."

Non-GAAP Financial Information
BioClinica is providing information on 2011 and 2010 non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude certain items, as well as the related income tax effects, because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. The non-GAAP information excludes, certain of which are recurring in nature, the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, restructuring charges and merger and acquisition costs. We believe the non-GAAP information provides supplemental information useful to investors in comparing our results of operations on a consistent basis from period to period. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in assessing our core operating performance and evaluating our ongoing business operations. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which are included below in this press release.
