ALBANY, N.Y. (January 4, 2011) — AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative medical devices for the minimally-invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2011 second quarter ended November 30, 2010.

Net sales in the second quarter were $53.4 million, virtually identical to the $53.5 million reported in the prior year period.  Oncology sales increased 16% to $15.9 million from the prior year, and included $1.6 million in NanoKnife® System sales, up from $1.1 million in the fiscal 2011 first quarter.  Vascular sales were $37.5 million, a decrease of 6% from the second quarter a year ago.  Effective for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2010, Vascular sales include both Peripheral Vascular and Access product lines, for which the Company combined the respective sales forces.  International sales in the second quarter grew 12% to $6.7 million from the prior year period.

Gross margin was 59.1% in the second quarter, compared with 59.1% for the prior year period and 58.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The quarter-over-quarter increase is primarily due to the impact of programs to reduce material costs and increase manufacturing efficiencies.  Operating income increased 1% to $5.4 million in the quarter compared with $5.3 million a year ago.  Net income in the second quarter increased 5% to $3.3 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $3.1 million, or $0.13 per share, a year ago.

 
 

 


AngioDynamics generated cash flow from operations of $9.9 million during the second quarter.  At November 30, 2010, cash and investments totaled $110.6 million, and long-term debt was $6.4 million.

For the six months ended November 30, 2010, net sales were $104.9 million, a 1% increase over the $103.6 million reported for the prior year period.  Gross margin for the six months ended November 30, 2010 was 58.7% compared with 59.6% for the six months ended November 30, 2009.  For the six months ended November 30, 2010, operating income of $8.9 million and net income of $5.2 million, or $0.21 per share, were the same as reported for the prior year period.

“While we continued to face a challenging operating environment during our fiscal second quarter, we further invested in our R&D, international business and NanoKnife programs to build for future growth,” said Jan Keltjens, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We grew international sales 12%, our Oncology business posted strong growth and NanoKnife® System sales were up 42% over the fiscal first quarter.  Our efforts to increase gross margins began to generate initial results and led to a sequential 80 basis point improvement.  As we complete the transition to a strong, integrated Vascular sales force and build on the momentum from our international and Oncology product sales, we are optimistic about improved results in the second half of fiscal 2011.  We remain focused on delivering profitability by tightly managing expenses while generating strong operating cash flow and driving sustained long-term growth through investment in innovative products.”

Highlights of the quarter, and more recent activities, include the following:

 
·
Strong clinician response to AngioDynamics’ NanoKnife System commercial sales efforts continued.  An additional 90 patients were treated since October 1, 2010.  A total of 412 patients have been treated to date with the NanoKnife System.  NanoKnife System sales in the second quarter totaled $1.6 million.  Included in this total were system sales to customers in Taiwan and Hong Kong, which represent the first sales of the NanoKnife System in Asia.

 
·
The Company expanded its Morpheus® Smart PICC product line with the launch of a 5 French / dual lumen IR Kit, which brought the number of new products launched to date during fiscal 2011 to four.  The Company remains on track for a total of 10 launches in this fiscal year.

 
·
AngioDynamics entered into contracts with two leading hospital group purchasing organizations covering certain vascular products.

 
·
The Company reached a favorable settlement of patent infringement litigation with Vascular Solutions that settles and resolves the lawsuit between the companies filed in July 2009.

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 non-GAAP EBITDA (income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Management uses this measure in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Management believes that this measure provides investors with useful information in comparing AngioDynamics’ performance over different periods. By using this non-GAAP measure, 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 Operating Income to non-GAAP measures.
