AngioDynamics Reports Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Financial Results; Updates Guidance

“We had a solid first quarter, and our team continues to deliver strong revenue performance and invest in our growth drivers while advancing our ongoing transformation,” commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics. “We remain committed to investing in our Med Tech platforms to drive sustainable growth while managing through COVID-related headwinds to both our revenue and gross margin. Auryon and NanoKnife accelerated their strong trajectories while continuing to gain support from clinicians, and we commenced the limited market release of our AlphaVac mechanical thrombectomy device. I am excited about the future of AngioDynamics, as our team continues to execute against the strategic plan that we laid out at our Investor & Technology Day.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $77.0 million, an increase of 9.6% compared to the prior-year quarter.

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

Med Tech net sales were $17.6 million, a 68.0% increase from $10.5 million in the year-ago period, while Med Device net sales were $59.4 million, roughly flat compared to $59.7 million in the year ago period, which included the previously disclosed non-recurring $5.2 million order from the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Med Tech includes the Auryon platform, mechanical thrombectomy and the NanoKnife irreversible electroporation platform.

• Endovascular Therapies (formerly Vascular Interventions and Therapies) net sales were $38.1 million, an increase of 27.5%, compared to $29.9 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 platform of $5.9 million.
• Oncology net sales were $14.0 million, an increase of 13.9%, compared to $12.3 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year growth was primarily due to increased sales of both NanoKnife capital and disposables, partially offset by continued softness in our international markets.
• Vascular Access net sales were $25.0 million, a decline of 11.2%, compared to $28.1 million a year ago. Excluding the non-recurring $5.2 million NHS sale in the year-ago period, Vascular Access revenue increased 9.0%.

U.S. net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $64.5 million, an increase of 19.1% from $54.1 million a year ago. International net sales were $12.5 million, a decrease of 22.4%, compared to $16.1 million a year ago.

Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 52.1%, an increase of 120 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which included costs related to the Company’s COVID-related operating plan that did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. During the quarter, gross margin was negatively impacted by macro forces including labor shortages and increased expenses for labor, raw materials and freight. Gross margins also continued to be impacted by Auryon startup costs.

The Company recorded a net loss of $7.0 million, or a loss per share of $0.18, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This compares to a net loss of $4.3 million, or a loss per share of $0.11, a year ago.

Excluding the items shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below, adjusted net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $0.9 million, and adjusted loss per share was $0.02, compared to adjusted net income in the prior-year period of $0.6 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.02.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, excluding the items shown in the reconciliation table below, was $3.6 million, compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company made a tuck-in acquisition of a support catheter product for use in conjunction with the Auryon atherectomy platform. The Company drew $5.0 million against its revolving credit facility during the quarter to fund this acquisition.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company used $8.9 million in operating cash, had capital expenditures of $1.0 million and additions to Auryon placement and evaluation units of $4.5 million. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had $35.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $48.2 million in cash and cash equivalents on May 31, 2021. The Company had debt outstanding of $25.0 million on August 31, 2021 compared to $20.0 million on May 31, 2021.

Updating Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Guidance

The Company now expects its fiscal year 2022 net sales to be in the range of $310 to $315 million, an increase from its prior guidance of $305 to $310 million. The Company expects gross margin to be approximately 55.0% and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.00 to $0.05 as it continues to invest in new product launches to drive future growth.
