ALBANY, N.Y., (July 23, 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.

“The strong top-line performance generated throughout fiscal year 2014 continued in the fourth quarter. We experienced a 7% increase in Average Daily Sales (ADS), excluding revenue from the Boston Scientific agreement, driving us to a fifth consecutive quarter of improved sales results,” said Joseph M. DeVivo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Capping off a very successful year for AngioDynamics, this strong sales performance was driven by our key growth drivers, including the BioFlo family of products in our Vascular Access business, AngioVac cannula and circuit in our Peripheral Vascular business and Acculis microwave system in our Oncology/Surgery business. All three of our businesses posted year-over-year growth for the second consecutive quarter, and we are particularly pleased with the continued turnaround in Vascular Access, which grew 5% over last year as more customers are realizing the clinical benefits of our disruptive BioFlo technology.

“Having achieved our goal of mid-single digit annual sales growth for fiscal 2014, we are well positioned for continued strong top-line performance as we enter fiscal 2015,” Mr. DeVivo added. “As we progress through fiscal year 2015 we will continue to implement our Operational Excellence plan and expect earnings growth to outpace sales increases.”

Q4 FY14 Financial Results

Net sales of $94.1 million were up 4% compared with last year’s fourth quarter net sales of $90 million. Excluding the planned wind-down of the supply agreement with Boston Scientific (BSC), fourth quarter sales were up 5% to $92.9 million compared to $88.4 million in last year’s fourth quarter. The following sales comparisons exclude the BSC supply agreement.

Peripheral Vascular net sales in the fourth quarter increased 6% to $50.9 million compared to $48 million in the prior year period. Vascular Access net sales increased 5% to $28.3 million compared to $27 million in the year ago quarter. Oncology/Surgery net sales of $13.7 million increased 1% compared to the year ago quarter. Net sales in the U.S. increased 6% to $73.7 million from $69.7 million in the prior year period.  International net sales grew 2% to $19.2 million from $18.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter.

The Company’s net loss in the fourth quarter was $1.1 million, or $0.03 on a per share basis, compared to net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, a year ago. During AngioDynamics’ fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the state of New York enacted a reform package eliminating the income tax on qualified New York state manufacturers. As a result, anticipated future benefits from net tax assets were eliminated requiring the Company to record a non-cash charge totaling $1.2 million, or $0.03 per share, during the quarter. Excluding the items shown in the attached quarterly non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted net income was $6.4 million, or $0.18 per share, for the fourth quarter compared to net income of $5.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the year ago quarter.

Fourth quarter EBITDA grew to $9.9 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.22 per share, in the year ago comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the items shown in the attached reconciliation table, was $14.7 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.39 per share, in the year ago comparable period.

At May 31, 2014, cash and investments were $17.9 million and debt was $142.7 million.

Recent Events

·      
Novation awarded AngioDynamics an Innovative Technology Contract covering BioFlo PICC and BioFlo Port products. Unlike other thromboresistant products, the technology behind the Company’s disruptive BioFlo devices is designed to be both present throughout the entire catheter and permanent, leading to decreased accumulation of catheter-related thrombus without incorporation of heparin, antibiotics or antimicrobials, or any other transient materials typically associated with coated or impregnated technologies.
·      
The Company received Certificate to Foreign Governments (CFGs) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration covering all Vascular Access and Peripheral Vascular products manufactured in its Queensbury facility. CFGs allow for the commercialization of these products in countries that require a U.S. FDA CFG, along with other appropriate regulatory documentation specific to the country.
·      
AngioDynamics announced FDA clearance for the Celerity tip location system and began shipping to U.S. customers in mid-July 2014. The Celerity System has been cleared by the FDA as an adjunct to aid in positioning Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) in adults by providing real time catheter tip location utilizing the patient's cardiac electrical activity.
·      
Howard W. Donnelly, President of Concert Medical LLC, was named Chairman of AngioDynamics’ Board of Directors.

Full Year Financial Results

As part of the fiscal year-end financial closing process, the Company identified an immaterial accounting error resulting from the ERP implementation in January 2014.  The Company has concluded that this error was not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements and has revised its previously reported results for the third quarter fiscal 2014 to correct this error.  As a result, the Company’s fiscal 2014 third quarter financial results were revised downward by $0.7 million incremental pretax cost of sales, or $0.01 per share. Adjusted EPS for the fiscal 2014 third quarter was revised to $0.14 from $0.16. This revision is included in the fiscal 2014 annual financial results and third quarter fiscal 2014 financial results will be adjusted for future presentations of quarterly financial results.

For the full year ended May 31, 2014, net sales were $354.5 million, a 4% increase compared to the $342 million reported a year ago. The Company’s net income was $3.1 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, reported a year ago. Excluding the items shown in the attached quarterly non-GAAP reconciliation table, adjusted net income was $20.6 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to net income of $22.7 million, or $0.64 per share, a year ago. EBITDA was $38.3 million, or $1.08 per share, compared to $32.3 million, or $0.91 per share, a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the items shown in the attached reconciliation table, was $52.2 million, or $1.47 per share, compared to $57 million, or $1.61 per share, in the year ago period.
 
Fiscal 2015 and First Quarter Guidance
 
“Building on our improved sales performance throughout 2014, we are guiding to a full fiscal year range of $362 million to $368 million in revenue, reflecting 3-5% growth excluding the impact of the planned wind down of our supply agreement, which we expect to decline by approximately $4 million as compared to fiscal 2014,” said Mark Frost, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We anticipate delivering stronger operating leverage in fiscal year 2015 and are guiding to adjusted earnings per share (EPS), of $0.64-$0.70, representing a 10-21% increase over fiscal 2014.
 
“We anticipate revenue to range from $83 million to $86 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, a 4% increase at the top end of the range, excluding the wind-down reduction,” Mr. Frost continued. “Adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.08-$0.12.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
 
Management uses non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals, and believes that non-GAAP measures may assist investors in analyzing the underlying trends in AngioDynamics’ business over time. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In this news release, AngioDynamics has reported net sales, net of a supply agreement; Average Daily Sales (ADS) growth net of a supply agreement, which is calculated as a growth rate of total sales per shipping day as compared to the prior year quarter; EBITDA (income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. Management uses these measures in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors with useful information in comparing AngioDynamics’ performance over different periods. By using these non-GAAP measures, management believes that investors get a better picture of the performance of AngioDynamics’ underlying business. Management encourages investors to review AngioDynamics’ financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand AngioDynamics’ performance taking into account all relevant factors, including those that may only occur from time to time but have a material impact on AngioDynamics’ financial results. Please see the tables that follow for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
