Exhibit 99.1

 

 

LeMaitre Vascular Announces Q1 2020 Financial Results

 

BURLINGTON, MA, April 30, 2020 - LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q1 2020 results and announced a $0.095/share quarterly dividend.

 

Q1 2020 Results

 

 

Record sales of $30.6mm, +7% (-1% organic) vs. Q1 2019

 

Operating income of $4.4mm, -2%

 

Net income of $3.2mm, -10%

 

Earnings of $0.16 per diluted share, -11%

 

EBITDA of $5.7mm, +1%

 

March 31, 2020 cash & equivalents of $30.6mm

 

The Company posted record sales in the Americas (+12%) and Europe/Middle East/Africa (+3%), offset by Asia/Pac (-11%). Sales growth was led by biologic patches, allografts and valvulotomes, and was aided by the two 2019 acquisitions.   

 

Gross margin decreased to 67.0% in Q1 2020 (vs. 68.3% in Q1 2019) primarily due to manufacturing inefficiencies and increased allograft sales.

 

Operating expenses in Q1 2020 were up 7% to $16.1mm (vs. $15.0mm) driven by MDD/MDR regulatory expenses, production transfers and acquisition amortization.

 

Chairman and CEO George LeMaitre said, “COVID-19 began to affect our sales in mid-March, and we expect our results to be impacted for the balance of 2020.  As a result, we’ve reduced headcount and temporarily cut base salaries.  My base salary was cut 90% while our lowest earners’ hourly wages were not impacted.  These actions were necessary to protect our profitability and cash position.  We implemented social-distancing in our four factories and they’re generally operating at near-normal levels.”

 

Business Outlook

 

On April 13, 2020, the Company withdrew its guidance for the full year 2020. Due to the unpredictable magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the timing of possible global economic recovery, the Company is unable to estimate the overall impacts on its financial results for the remainder of 2020.

 

Quarterly Dividend

 

On April 28, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.095/share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 4, 2020 to shareholders of record on May 20, 2020.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

On February 13, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0mm of the Company’s common stock.  The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and will conclude on February 14, 2021, unless extended by the Board.

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/or other events as well as EBITDA or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company refers to the calculation of non-GAAP sales growth percentages as "organic." The 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, divestitures, 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.
