ALBANY, N.Y., (January 9, 2014) – 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 2014 second quarter ended November 30, 2013.
“AngioDynamics’ better than expected sales reflects improved performance in our three businesses – Peripheral Vascular, Vascular Access and Oncology/Surgery – compared to the prior quarter. Our new products, specifically AngioVac, BioFlo PICCs and ports, and the Acculis microwave system, represent disruptive emerging technologies that are contributing to our growth while improving patient outcomes and reducing costs to the healthcare system,” said Joseph M. DeVivo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Having stabilized our U.S business while successfully introducing new products to the market, we have taken actions to improve our international operations, which can potentially be a more significant contributor to our future results. We entered the second half of our fiscal year with strong momentum and believe we are well-positioned to meet our financial goals for 2014.”
