Read MoreHide Full Article

AngioDynamics, Inc. (ANGO - Free Report) reported break-even adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) for fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 against the year-ago loss per share of 6 cents. The figure was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

GAAP loss per share came in at 51 cents, narrower than the year-ago loss of $4.13 per share.

Full-year adjusted EPS was 5 cents, reflecting a 44.4% decrease from the year-ago period. The metric was again in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Revenue Details

Revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter totaled $76.8 million, up 31.7% year over year on a reported basis (up 30.9% at constant exchange rate or CER). The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.9%.

The company registered strong contribution from Auryon and continued strength in AngioVac during the quarter.

Full-year revenues were $291 million, reflecting a 10.2% uptick from the year-ago period (up 9.8% at CER). Again, the metric beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.5%.

Geographical Analysis

In the quarter under review, U.S. net revenues totaled $63.6 million, up 42.6% year over year.

International revenues came in at $13.2 million, down 3.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Segmental Analysis

AngioDynamics’ product offerings fall within three Global Business Units (GBUs) — Oncology/Surgery (“OS”), Endovascular Therapies (formerly Vascular Interventions and Therapies) and Vascular Access (“VA”).

OS arm’s net sales in the fiscal fourth quarter were $14.3 million, reflecting an improvement of 14.2% year over year, driven by increased sales of NanoKnife and Microwave disposables, and sales of the BioSentry Tract Sealant System. This was partially offset by continued softness in capital spending and international markets.

Endovascular Therapies revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter grossed $38.1 million, up 72.3% from the year-ago period. This was driven by broad strength across the business, led by sales of the Auryon and AngioVac platforms. Auryon sales during the quarter were $4.6 million.

Revenues at the VA segment amounted to $24.5 million, up 3.2% on a year-over-year basis. The growth was driven by growth in Ports but offset by a fall in peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs).

Our Take

AngioDynamics exited the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 with in-line earnings and better-than-expected revenues. The company continued gaining from the Auryon Atherectomy System and AngioVac system. Its year-over-year uptick in revenues, along with solid performances across all three GBUs, is impressive. Solid domestic revenues are also encouraging. Regulatory clearances for AlphaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System and NanoKnife prostate IDE (PRESERVE) auger well for the company. Gross margin expansion raises our optimism.

Continued softness in capital spending and international markets during the quarter under review, along with fall in PICCs, is concerning.
