AngioDynamics Reports Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results

LATHAM, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, peripheral vascular disease, and oncology, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, which ended May 31, 2021.

“The AngioDynamics team demonstrated excellent performance, resilience, and strong execution in what was a uniquely challenging year. We saw the pressure from COVID-19 gradually alleviate over the course of the year, and our business is now trending close to normalized run rates. During fiscal 2021, we took significant steps forward in our transformation into a growth-oriented, technology-driven company, building on the foundation we put in place over the past several years,” commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. “Our investments in our key technology platforms are driving our growth, as evidenced by a strong first-year contribution from Auryon and continued strength from AngioVac. I am excited about the future of AngioDynamics as we continue to develop differentiated products like AlphaVac, which we anticipate launching later this year, to serve larger and faster growing markets, pursue regulatory milestones and expand our patient base.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $76.8 million, an increase of 31.7% compared to the prior-year quarter. All year-over-year comparisons have been affected by the disruption to procedure volumes resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s sales in the quarter.

• Endovascular Therapies (formerly Vascular Interventions and Therapies) net sales were $38.1 million, an increase of 72.3%, compared to $22.1 million a year ago. Growth was driven by broad strength across the business relative to the prior-year period, led by sales of the Auryon and AngioVac platforms. Auryon sales during the quarter were $4.6 million.
• Oncology net sales were $14.3 million, an increase of 14.2%, compared to $12.5 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year growth was primarily due to increased sales of NanoKnife and Microwave disposables and sales of the BioSentry Tract Sealant System, partially offset by continued softness in capital spending and our international markets.
• Vascular Access net sales were $24.5 million, an increase of 3.2%, compared to $23.7 million a year ago.

U.S. net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $63.6 million, an increase of 42.6% from $44.6 million a year ago. International net sales were $13.2 million, a decrease of 3.6%, compared to $13.7 million a year ago.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 55.1%, an increase of 330 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to a reduction in COVID-related costs. During the quarter, gross margin was negatively impacted by macro forces including labor shortages and increased costs for labor, raw materials, and freight. Gross margins also continued to be impacted by Auryon startup costs. During the fourth quarter, inventory was reduced by $0.4 million when compared to inventory levels on February 28, 2021. During the fiscal year, inventory levels have been reduced by $11.3 million.

The Company recorded a net loss of $19.5 million, or a loss per share of $0.51, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. This compares to a net loss of $157.0 million, or a loss per share of $4.13, a year ago. The current-year net loss includes a $14.0 million write-off of the OARTrac intangible assets, while the prior-year net loss includes a goodwill impairment charge of $158.6 million.

Excluding the items shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below, adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.1 million, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.00, compared to adjusted net loss in the prior-year period of $2.1 million and adjusted loss per share of $0.06.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, excluding the items shown in the reconciliation table below, was $4.5 million, compared to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company generated free cash flow of $3.1 million. As of May 31, 2021, the Company had $48.2 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $54.5 million in cash and cash equivalents on February 28, 2021.
