Current report
Our imaging services include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), nuclear medicine, mammography, ultrasound, diagnostic radiology (X-ray), fluoroscopy and other related procedures. The vast majority of our centers offer multi-modality imaging services, a key point of differentiation from our competitors. The multi-modality offering provides a “one-stop” solution for our customers and referral sources. It also diversifies our revenue base, and reduces our exposure to changes in reimbursement rates for certain imaging modalities. The following charts summarize our procedure volumes for various imaging modalities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

We recorded income tax expense of $0.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 4.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 65.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 diverge from the federal statutory rate due to (i) effects of state income taxes ; (ii) officer's compensation limitations; (iii) partial valuation allowance on losses in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by (iv) excess tax benefits attributable to share based compensation; and (v) noncontrolling interests from controlled partnerships.

Previous report
To mitigate our future floating rate interest expense exposure we entered into the 2019 swaps with locked in interest rates for one-month Term SOFR of 1.89% for $100 million of notional value and 1.98% for $400 million of notional value. We are liable for premium payments to the 2019 swap counterparties if interests rates are below the arranged rates, and receive payments from the 2019 swap counterparties if interest rates exceed the arranged rates. If interest rates were to theoretically reduce to 0%, our maximum premium payment would be the difference between the two swapped rates and 0% then multiplied by the notional value of the swaps, or $1.89 million per year for the $100 million swap and $8.0 million per year for the $400 million swap. Payments under the 2019 swaps are settled in cash on a monthly basis.

Our 8.2% increase in same center revenue over the same period last year was driven by same center total procedure volume growth of 1.6% which was comprised of a 0.5% increase in routine imaging and a 5.1% increase in advanced modality imaging procedures. The balance of increase related to product mix, as advanced imaging was a greater portion of overall procedures, as well as increases in rates charged for imaging procedures.
Current wording
Our 10.6% increase in same center revenue over the same period last year was driven by same center total procedure volume growth of 3.1% inclusive of rises in routine and advanced modality imaging procedures of 1.72% and 7.51%, respectively. The balance of increase related to product mix, as advanced imaging was a greater portion of overall procedures, as well as increases in fees charged per imaging procedure.

Our principal capital requirements are for the initial start-up and development of new diagnostic imaging centers, the acquisition of additional imaging centers and the acquisition of new diagnostic imaging equipment. On a continuing basis, we evaluate various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures. We expect to fund any future acquisitions primarily with cash flow from operations and borrowings, including borrowing available under our senior secured credit facilities or through new equity or debt issuances.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Our 11.3% increase in same center revenue over the same period last year was driven by an increase in procedures volumes. Same center total procedure volume grew at an overall rate of 4.3% which was comprised of a 2.86% increase in routine imaging and a 8.72% increase in advanced modality imaging procedures. The balance of increase related to product mix, as advanced imaging was a greater portion of overall procedures, as well as increases in fees charged per imaging procedure. A significant contributor to the change in product mix was the increase in PETHC procedures related to prostate cancer and suspect Alzheimer’s studies, which are included in advanced modality imaging procedures.

The increase in medical supplies expense was consistent with our higher patient volume and product shift towards more advanced imaging modalities. The increase in PETHC procedures related to prostate cancer and suspected Alzheimer studies also raised medical supplies expense due to the requirement for high-cost isotope tracers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, interest rates were above the arranged rates in our 2019 Swaps for most of the year and we received payment of $3.4 million in cash payments from our 2019 swap counterparties, which was reported a component of interest expense. Also, the 2019 Swaps for $100 million of notional value matured in October 2023, so they were in effect for the second quarter of 2023, but not 2024. See the Derivative Instruments section of Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes accompanying in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and Part 1, Item 3 — "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk" below for more details on our derivative transactions.

Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in the amount of $7.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 we recognized equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.9 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 170.5%. The increase was mainly due to the additional contribution made to SMIG in September 2023. SMIG operated at a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which positively impacted our equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures during the period.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
At June 30, 2024, our consolidated subsidiaries operated 344 imaging centers of which 95 were not wholly-owned and thus a portion of their operating results were attributable to noncontrolling interests. At June 30, 2023, our consolidated subsidiaries included 322 centers of which 82 were not wholly-owned.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $18.1 million versus $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $5.2 million. The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was primarily due to the formation of a new majority owned subsidiary, Los Angeles Imaging Group, LLC in September 2023 and Tri Valley Imaging Group, LLC in March 2024. We contributed the operations of three centers to Los Angeles Group, LLC and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center contributed cash. Additionally, patient volumes for advanced modalities improved in 2024 and we closed two nonperforming centers in a majority owned subsidiary, Beach Imaging Group, LLC in December 2023.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
As noncontrolling interests only represent a portion of our imaging center business, and excludes our Digital Health Segment which generated losses of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, we do not expect changes in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests to correlate with changes in consolidated operating income or pretax income.
