ALBANY, N.Y. (April 5, 2011) — 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 fiscal 2011 third quarter ended February 28, 2011.

Net sales in the third quarter were $54.6 million, a 5% increase over the $52.2 million reported in the prior year period.  Oncology/Surgery sales increased 19% to $16.3 million from the prior year, and included $1.9 million in NanoKnife® System sales, up from $800,000 in the prior year quarter.  Vascular sales were $38.3 million, virtually identical to the third quarter a year ago.  International sales in the third quarter increased 8% (9% in constant currency) to $6.3 million from the prior year period.

Gross margin was 58.0% in the third quarter, which is the same as reported for the prior year period, and reflects a competitive pricing environment for many of the Company’s Vascular products.  Operating income was $5.2 million in the quarter compared with $5.6 million a year ago, primarily reflecting a 24% increase in R&D expense in support of the Company’s new product development. Net income in the third quarter increased 14% to $3.8 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with $3.3 million, or $0.13 per share, a year ago.  The Company’s effective income tax rate for the quarter was 25%, compared with 38% for the prior year period.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit during the quarter, and provided a benefit of approximately $0.02 per share.  The Company expects its tax rate for the full year to approximate 33%.

AngioDynamics generated cash flow from operations of $10.3 million during the quarter.  At February 28, 2011, cash and investments totaled $120.2 million, and long-term debt was $6.3 million.

For the nine months ended February 28, 2011, net sales were $159.5 million, a 2% increase over the $155.8 million reported for the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  Gross margin for the nine month period was 58.5% compared with 59.1% for the prior year period.  For the nine months to date, operating income was $14.1 million, a 2% decrease from $14.5 million in the year ago period.  Net income for the nine months grew 5% to $9.0 million, or $0.36 per share, from the prior year period.  The net financial impact of the NanoKnife program was $0.12 loss per share in the nine months and $0.17 loss per share in the comparable prior year period.

“We posted continued strong growth in Oncology/Surgery product sales, with NanoKnife® System sales more than doubling from a year ago,” said Jan Keltjens, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “While generating good volume increases during the quarter, our Vascular business continued to be impacted by pricing pressure. It is encouraging that our R&D investments are starting to generate results.  In particular, we successfully launched our power-injectable Smart Port® and Morpheus® Smart PICC product lines.  We are committed to investing in innovation to drive long-term revenue growth, and we launched four new products during the quarter.  Year to date, we have launched 10 new products, meeting our goal for the current fiscal year.  We are confident that our focus on expense management, investments in R&D and financial strength position us to drive our profitability and long-term growth.  However, during the current fourth quarter, our top line outlook is being challenged by a combination of Vascular business pricing pressures and soft procedure volumes in the U.S. markets.  As a result we are revising our guidance for the full fiscal year,” concluded Mr. Keltjens.

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

·  
Strong clinician response to AngioDynamics’ NanoKnife System commercial sales efforts continued.  An additional 126 patients were treated since January 1, 2011, with a total of 538 patients have been treated to date with the NanoKnife System. NanoKnife System sales in the third quarter included seven new commercial accounts.

·  
We submitted to the FDA our response to certain questions regarding our application for an IDE for use of the NanoKnife in prostate cancer, including the results of an additional animal study requested by FDA.

·  
The NanoKnife 2.2.0 System, a broad hardware and software upgrade that enhances system performance, received CE Mark approval and the first unit was shipped.

·  
In the multi-center European prospective Hepatocellular Carcinoma trial, three additional trial sites started screening patients in the third quarter.  Six sites are now enrolling patients.  A total of 11 patients have been treated to date.

·  
AngioDynamics established a direct sales organization in The Netherlands by purchasing the relevant business assets of AngioCare BV, the long-time distributor of the Company’s VenaCure EVLT® System and other vascular products in The Netherlands.

·  
The Company expanded its Morpheus® Smart PICC product line with the launch of a bedside insertion kit.

·  
AngioDynamics bolstered its port offering by launching the Safe Sheath® Ultra Lite Valved, Peel-Away Introducer in the U.S., representing the Company’s first valved, splittable sheath dilator for port insertion.

·  
AngioDynamics entered into contracts with two leading U.S. hospital group purchasing organizations covering the Company’s Smart Port power-injectable ports and certain vascular products.

Fiscal 2011 Guidance

The Company’s outlook for fiscal year 2011 is as follows:

·  
Net sales in the range of $217 million to $220 million, as compared with $216 million in fiscal 2010 net sales
·  
Gross margin in the range of 58% to 59% of net sales
·  
GAAP operating income in the range of $20 million to $21 million
·  
EBITDA in the range of $32 million to $33 million
·

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.
