ALBANY, N.Y., (April 9, 2014) – AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, surgery, peripheral vascular disease and oncology, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2014 third quarter ended February 28, 2014.

“Our strong top line performance marks the fourth consecutive quarter of improved sales results, reflecting continued market acceptance of our innovative products and solid execution by our global sales team. The 8% revenue increase was driven by double-digit sales growth in our Peripheral Vascular and Oncology/Surgery businesses of 11% and 15%, respectively, and a significant turnaround in Vascular Access, which grew 3% over last year’s comparable quarter and 7% from the prior quarter. The improvement in our Vascular Access business demonstrates the effectiveness of the BioFlo technology which now accounts for 40% of our global PICC revenue,” said Joseph M. DeVivo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the recent FDA clearance of the DuraMax Dialysis Catheter with BioFlo – the third U.S. clearance of a BioFlo product line – we expect further adoption of this technology as its clinical value becomes widely accepted. As our other key growth drivers, including the AngioVac Cannula & Circuit in our Peripheral Vascular business, and the Acculis microwave system in our Oncology/Surgery business, make a more significant contribution to overall revenue, we anticipate improved margin profile over time leading to improved profitability.”

Q3 FY14 Financial Results

Net sales of $88.2 million were up 8% compared with last year’s third quarter net sales of $81.6 million. Excluding the planned wind-down of the supply agreement with Boston Scientific (BSC), third quarter sales were up 9% to $86.6 million compared to $79.5 million in last year’s third quarter. The following sales comparisons exclude the BSC supply agreement.

Peripheral Vascular net sales in the third quarter increased 11% to $47.4 million compared to $42.6 million in the prior year period. Vascular Access net sales increased 3% to $27.3 million compared to $26.4 million in the year ago quarter. Oncology/Surgery net sales of $12 million increased 15% compared to the year ago quarter. U.S. net sales increased 10% to $69.9 million from $63.8 million in the prior year

Excluding the items shown in the attached quarterly non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted net income excluding amortization for intangible assets was $5.6 million, or $0.16 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.16 per share, for the year ago quarter.

Third quarter EBITDA was $14 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to EBITDA of $6.5 million, or $0.18 per share, a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the items shown in the attached reconciliation table, was $14.6 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.39 per share, in the year ago period.

Recent Operational Highlights

·
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared an expanded indication for the Company’s AngioVac cannula for venous drainage during extracorporeal bypass for up to six hours to include removal of fresh, soft thrombi or emboli.  The expanded clearance makes AngioVac a more powerful tool for physicians in the U.S., where an estimated 1 million people are affected by venous thromboembolic disease (VTE).
·
The Company received 510(k) clearance for its BioFlo DuraMax chronic hemodialysis catheter – the third U.S. clearance of a BioFlo product line in the Company’s Vascular Access business. The Company expects a commercial launch in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.
·
The Company executed an agreement with Medcomp and its development partner to acquire regulatory control over the Celerity tip-location platform, as well as access to next-generation product introductions.
·
Enrollment of the first patient in a clinical study at Duke University to evaluate the feasibility and short-term safety and effectiveness of the NanoKnife system in the ablation of focal prostate cancer occurred. The prospective, non-randomized pilot study will enroll six patients who meet a low risk prostate cancer criteria defined by this protocol. The primary objective will be to evaluate procedural and short-term post-treatment safety of the NanoKnife system via incidence of adverse events and evaluation of effect on urologic (urinary and erectile) function.
·
The Company was awarded $74.9 million in damages based on AngioDynamics’ claims against biolitec AG, Biomed Technology Holdings Limited and Wolfgang Neuberger.
·
The Company completed the creation of its Distribution Center of Excellence in Queensbury, representing a major milestone in its Company-wide operational excellence program designed to save $15 million to $18 million during the course of the next three years.
·
AngioDynamics’ new Oracle-based business system was launched, unifying the Company under a single ERP system, and completing one of the final and most visible steps to completing the integration of AngioDynamics and Navilyst Medical.

items shown in the attached quarterly non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted net income excluding amortization for intangible assets was $14.7 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to net income of $17.5 million, or $0.50 per share, a year ago.

Fiscal 2014 Guidance

“Our net sales increase in the third quarter included one additional selling day, which benefitted our top line by approximately 2%.  Given our strong sales performance in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we are raising our fiscal year 2014 sales guidance to a range of $351 million to $355 million,” said Mark Frost, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are also revising our fiscal year 2014 expectation for adjusted EPS without amortization to a range of $0.60 to $0.63 due to our current product and geographic mix, as well as unanticipated costs related to the recent Medcomp agreement.”

“As a result of the updated fiscal year 2014 guidance, we anticipate revenue to range from $91 million to $95 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, up to 6% at the top end and 8% on an average daily sales basis, and adjusted EPS without amortization is expected to be in the range of $0.18-$0.21,” Mr. Frost concluded.
