On a pro forma basis, net sales were $65.9 million, up 7.9% both on a reported basis and at CER compared with the prior-year quarter.

The company continued to see strong contributions from its Med Tech (which includes the Auryon peripheral atherectomy platform, the thrombus management platform and the NanoKnife irreversible electroporation platform) business during the quarter.

Geographical Analysis

In the quarter under review, U.S. net revenues totaled $62.3 million, down 7.8% year over year. This figure compares to our U.S. net revenues’ fiscal third-quarter projection of $64 million.

On a pro forma basis, U.S. net revenues totaled $55.8 million, up 5.9%.

International revenues came in at $12.8 million, down 1.9% from the year-ago quarter, both on a reported basis and at CER. This figure compares to our fiscal third-quarter International revenues’ projection of $14 million.

On a pro forma basis, International revenues totaled $10.2 million, up 20.8%.

Segmental Analysis

AngioDynamics derives revenues from two businesses — Med Tech and Med Device.

The Med Tech business’ net sales in the fiscal third quarter were $25.8 million, reflecting an uptick of 12.9% year over year. This figure compares to our fiscal third quarter’s Med Tech business’ net sales projection of $19.9 million.

On a pro forma basis, Med Tech revenues totaled $25.7 million, up 12.6%. This was primarily on the back of increased net sales of Auryon amounting to $11.8 million (up 14.7%) and NanoKnife sales of $6 million (up 46.7%) compared with the prior-year quarter. NanoKnife disposable sales were $4.2 million (up 19.8% year over year), while AngioVac sales were $5.5 million. However, the improvement in the Med Tech segment was partially offset by a year-over-year decline of 45% in AlphaVac sales (which amounted to $1.1 million in the quarter).

Med Device revenues in the fiscal third quarter grossed $49.3 million, down 14.7% from the year-ago period. This figure compares to our fiscal third quarter’s Med Device business’ net sales projection of $58.1 million.

On a pro forma basis, Med Device revenues totaled $40.3 million, up 5.2%. This was driven by AngioDynamics’ EVLT and angiographic catheter products.

FY24 Guidance

AngioDynamics has revised its guidance for fiscal 2024.

The company now expects its net sales in the range of $270 million-$275 million, lower than the earlier outlook of $320 million-$325 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged at $320.7 million.

The lowered guidance reflects the recent divestiture of the PICC and Midline businesses and the discontinuance of the RadioFrequency ablation and Syntrax businesses.

AngioDynamics reiterated its Med Tech revenue growth in the range of 10-15%. However, Med Device revenue growth is now projected at 2-4% compared with the previous guidance of 1-3%.

The adjusted loss per share is now projected to be between 54 cents and 58 cents, wider than the earlier guidance of adjusted loss per share of 35 cents and 42 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at a loss of 44 cents.

Our Take

AngioDynamics exited the third quarter of fiscal 2024 with wider-than-expected adjusted loss per share and lower-than-expected revenues. Dismal top-line and bottom-line performances on a reported basis and lower revenues from AlphaVac sales in the fiscal third quarter were disappointing. Lower geographical revenues and the Med Device segment’s revenues on a reported basis were also worrying. The gross margin contraction does not bode well.

However, AngioDynamics’ solid uptick in revenues on a pro forma basis was impressive. Robust geographical revenues and Med Device revenues (both on a pro forma basis) and Med Tech revenues (both reported and on a pro forma basis) were also encouraging. Robust sales of Auryon and NanoKnife were also recorded.

This month, AngioDynamics received the FDA’s 510(k) clearance for the AlphaVac F18 System in the treatment of pulmonary embolism. During the quarter, the company submitted compelling data generated by its APEX trial. These also raised our optimism about the stock.
