LeMaitre Q2 2014 Record Sales $18.2mm (+14%) ; Op. Profit $2.0mm (+37%)

BURLINGTON, MA, July 29, 2014 — LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMAT) today reported Q2 2014 results, provided guidance and announced a $0.035/share dividend.

Q2 2014 sales were $18.2mm, a 14% year-over-year increase, driven by Trivex (acquired Q3 2013) and XenoSure. Geographically, gains came from the Company’s newly-direct markets of Australia & Switzerland and its Mediterranean subsidiaries. Unit sales grew 5% and organic sales improved 6%.

Gross margin improved sequentially from 67.0% in Q1 2014 to 68.1% in Q2 2014, due to ramping XenoSure production, the Southbridge factory closure and manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating income grew 37% to $2.0mm from $1.4mm in Q2 2013, largely due to increased sales. Net income grew to $1.3mm from $0.9mm in Q2 2013. EPS grew to $0.08 from $0.06 in Q2 2013. EBITDA grew to a record $2.8mm from $2.0mm in Q2 2013.

Cash and marketable securities were $23.5mm at June 30, 2014, versus $12.5mm at March 31, 2014. Net proceeds from the June 2014 common stock offering were $10.5mm.

George W. LeMaitre, Chairman and CEO commented, “Record sales drove 37% year-over-year profit growth in Q2, and expenses dropped 10% sequentially as our $5mm/year cost cut took root. We hired a Chinese GM and expect to open our Shanghai office in September.”

Quarterly Dividend

On July 24, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.035/share of common stock. The dividend will be paid September 4, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 21, 2014.


Business Outlook

The Company expects Q3 2014 sales of $17.1mm (+12% vs. Q3 2013) and operating income of $1.4mm (+80% vs Q3 2013). The Company increased its 2014 sales guidance to $70.1mm (+9% vs. 2013) and increased its 2014 operating income guidance to $5.6mm (+24% vs. 2013). 2014 XenoSure sales are expected to be $10.0mm (+30% vs. 2013).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

LeMaitre Vascular management believes that in order to better understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider certain non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not have standardized meanings. These non-GAAP measures result from facts and circumstances that may vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the description provided below, reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

In this press release, the Company has reported non-GAAP sales growth percentages after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency exchange, business development transactions, and other events as well as EBITDA or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company refers to the calculation of non-GAAP sales percentages as “organic.” The

 

Page 2


Company analyzes non-GAAP sales on a constant currency basis, net of acquisitions and other non-recurring events, and EBITDA to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on net sales, and acquisitions, product discontinuations, and other strategic transactions are episodic in nature and are highly variable to the reported sales results, the Company believes that evaluating growth in sales on a constant currency basis net of such transactions provides an additional and meaningful assessment of sales to management. The Company believes that evaluating EBITDA provides an approximation of the cash generating ability of its operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
