DENVER, COLORADO, August 14, 2018. Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (OTCQX: BDMS),

business services provider of PERFECT TEETH dental practices, announced results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, revenue increased $575,000, or 3.9%, to $15.4 million compared to $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock grant, stock-based compensation expense and increase in valuation of embedded derivative ("Adjusted EBITDA") increased $120,000 to $(25,000). Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 increased $128,000 to approximately $(1.0 million) compared to $(901,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Loss per share increased to $(0.55) for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $(0.48) for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company had capital expenditures of $748,000 and decreased bank debt outstanding by $125,000. During the second quarter of 2018 the Company substantially completed the conversion of six of its dental practices to digital radiography.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, revenue increased $735,000, or 2.4%, to $31.2 million. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA decreased $265,000, or 42.0%, to $366,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This result includes $66,000 of one-time expenses related to accounting and valuation consulting services the Company utilized in connection with the $5 million financing of convertible senior subordinated secured notes and attached Series A convertible preferred stock by the Palm investors completed in December 2017. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $381,000 to ($1.5 million) compared to $(1.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net loss per share increased to $(0.80) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $(0.60) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net loss for the quarter ended and first six months ended June 30, 2018 was negatively effected by an increase of $250,000 in the value of an embedded derivative.

The Company continues to experience strong patient flow with new patient visits up 3.2% in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017 and total patient visits up 3.5% in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017. The Company had 104 dentists at June 30, 2018 compared to 112 dentists at December 31, 2017 and 99 dentists at June 30, 2017.

The Company was unable to convert its strong patient flow to earnings due to the slow ramp in productivity from new dental professionals and decreases in hygiene and oral surgery revenues. The Company expects productivity of new dentists to increase with time and a recently hired hygiene director to assist with hygienist productivity.

The Company was not in compliance with its required EBITDA covenant under its bank loan agreement at June 30, 2018. On or before August 15, 2018 an affiliate of the Palm investors is expected to purchase $468,000 principal amount of additional notes and attached Series A preferred stock to permit the Company to regain compliance with the EBITDA covenant as permitted under the fifth amendment to the bank loan agreement.

Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. acquires, develops, and manages geographically dense dental practice networks in select markets in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. As of June 30, 2018, the Company managed 68 dental offices under the PERFECT TEETH® name.

The Company previously announced it would conduct a conference call to review results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. MT. In addition to current operating results, the teleconference may include discussion of management's expectations of future financial and operating results. To participate in this conference call, dial in to 1-877-440-5804 and refer to Confirmation Code 7777351 approximately five minutes prior to the scheduled time.

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 loss can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense - offices, depreciation and amortization expense - Corporate, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, net, stock grant expense, increase in valuation of embedded derivative and income tax benefit to net loss as in the table below.
