FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Angeion Corporation Reports Operating Results
for Fiscal 2011 Second-Quarter (Quarter Ended April 30, 2011)

Highlights

 

 

 

 

Second-quarter revenue of $6.8 million consistent with the second quarter of fiscal 2010

 

Second-quarter gross profit margin of 57.3% grew sequentially from 56.4% in the prior period and 52.0% in the prior-year period

 

Loss of $138,000 improved from a $559,000 loss the prior-year second quarter

 

Balance sheet remains strong with $10.0 million in cash and investments and no debt

 

Given recent management transitions, Angeion will not be holding a second-quarter investment community conference call as previously announced

ST. PAUL, Minn. — (May 26, 2011) — Angeion Corporation (NASDAQ: ANGN) today reported results for its fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2011.

For the 2011 second quarter, Angeion reported revenues of $6.8 million, essentially even compared to the prior-year second quarter. Angeion incurred a net loss of ($138,000), or ($0.04) per diluted share, an improvement over the prior-year second quarter net loss of ($559,000), or ($0.13) per diluted share.

Gross margin grew from 52.0% in the prior-year second quarter to 57.3% in the current quarter due to continuing manufacturing efficiencies following right sizing actions taken in third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Sales and marketing expense increased $178,000 from the prior-year quarter, due to investments in additional staff, trade show initiatives and re-assignment of existing personnel from research and development. General and administrative expenses decreased by $114,000, principally as a result of $83,000 in reduced equity-based compensation costs. Research and development expenses decreased $158,000 from fiscal 2010 second quarter levels due to personnel re-assignments and reclassification to sales and marketing, as well as the $48,000 impact of current period capitalization of Angeion’s software-development projects which were expensed during 2010 before the projects reached technological feasibility.

Second quarter revenues from international operations declined by 9.0% to 19.4% of total revenues, versus 21.1% for the second quarter in 2010. Decreases were broadly based all across geographic regions except the Americas, which accounted for modest increases.

“While we are seeing modest improvements in some market conditions, lingering effects of the economic downturn continue to impact quarter-over-quarter results—and we experienced that in the second-quarter as revenue levels and customers continued tentative buying behaviors” said Jim Gaul, Senior Vice President Global Sales. Rob Wolf, Chief Financial Officer, stated “We were able to benefit from continuing gross margin performance improvement in manufacturing cost reductions and other expenses to produce the improved bottom line results compared to the second quarter of 2010.”

Angeion reported $373,000 in negative operating cash flow in the fiscal 2011 second quarter. This was partly due to the net loss for the period and working capital changes, offset by add-backs for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. We used cash from the sale of investments to fund these requirements and to purchase property, equipment and intangible assets (including software capitalization) of $156,000. At April 30, 2011, Angeion had no debt and $10.0 million in cash and investments.

Investor Conference Call
Given recent management transitions, Angeion will not be holding an investment community conference call as previously announced.
