GAAP loss per share came in at 18 cents, wider than the year-ago loss of 11 cents per share.

Revenue Details

Revenues in the fiscal first quarter totaled $76.9 million, up 9.6% year over year on a reported basis (up 9.4% at constant exchange rate or CER). The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.4%.

The company registered strong contribution from its Med Tech business (which includes the thrombus management platform, Auryon and NanoKnife) during the quarter.

Geographical Analysis

In the quarter under review, U.S. net revenues totaled $64.5 million, up 19.1% year over year.

International revenues came in at $12.5 million, down 22.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Segmental Analysis

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

The OS arm’s net sales in the fiscal first quarter were $14 million, reflecting an improvement of 13.9% year over year, driven by increased sales of NanoKnife capital and disposables, and sales of the BioSentry Tract Sealant System. This was partially offset by lower sales of the company’s Microwave product and continued softness in international markets.

Endovascular Therapies revenues in the fiscal first quarter grossed $38.1 million, up 27.5% from the year-ago period. This was driven by broad strength across its business, led by sales of the Auryon platform. Auryon sales during the quarter were $5.9 million.

Revenues at the VA segment amounted to $25 million, down 11.2% on a year-over-year basis. Excluding the non-recurring revenues of $5.2 million derived from the National Health Service’s sale in the year-ago period, the segment witnessed a revenue uptick of 9%. The growth was driven by growth in peripherally inserted central catheters or PICCs, Midlines and particularly Ports, during the quarter.

Our Take

AngioDynamics exited the first quarter of fiscal 2022 with better-than-expected results. The company continued gaining from its Med Tech business. Its year-over-year uptick in revenues, along with solid performances across two of its GBUs, is impressive. Solid domestic revenues are also encouraging. The company commenced a limited market release of its AlphaVac mechanical thrombectomy device in September, while continuing to gain clinician support, raising our optimism. Gross margin expansion also bodes well. A raised revenue projection for fiscal 2022 is another plus.

Continued softness in international markets and fall in the VA segment’s revenues during the quarter under review are concerning.
