July 16, 2009 -- AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative medical devices for minimally-invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended May 31, 2009. Financial results include the acquisition of Diomed assets since June 17, 2008 and the acquisition of FlowMedica assets since January 12, 2009, the dates of acquisition. In addition, the Company announced plans to establish a corporate office near Albany, N.Y. Net sales in the fourth quarter were $52.8 million, a 13% increase over the $46.8 million reported in the fourth quarter a year ago. Gross margin in the fourth quarter was 61.9% compared with 62.7% a year ago, with the decline attributable to product mix. Operating income was $4.8 million in the fourth quarter compared with $322,000 a year ago. Net income in the fourth quarter was $2.9 million or $0.12 per share compared with $519,000, or $0.02 per share a year ago. 2009 fourth quarter operating results include $702,000 in certain non-recurring costs, which are primarily attributable to the write-off of facility design and related costs associated with a terminated project to build an office in Queensbury. In the fourth quarter a year ago, the Company recorded a $6.8 million litigation provision. Excluding the aforementioned two items, fourth quarter net income was $3.4 million or $0.14 per share compared with net income of $4.7 million or $0.19 per share a year ago. The decline in net income is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses associated with the Company's investments in irreversible electroporation (IRE) technology and sales and marketing programs. EBITDA (Non GAAP) was $7.8 million or $0.32 per share in the fourth quarter and $2.8 million or $0.12 per share in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, net sales of $195.1 million increased 17% over the $166.5 million reported for the prior year; gross margin was 61.6% in both years; operating income was $16.1 million compared with $16.2 million for the prior year; net income was $9.9 million or $0.41 per share, compared with $10.9 million or $0.45 per share for the prior year; and EBITDA (Non GAAP) was $27.9 million or $1.14 per share, compared with $25.4 million or $1.04 per share for the prior year. AngioDynamics reported cash and investments of $68.2 million and long-term debt of $6.8 million at May 31, 2009. The Company generated $6.9 million in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter, bringing cash flow from operations for fiscal 2009 to $19.9 million. In fiscal 2009, AngioDynamics began operating three business units: Peripheral Vascular, Access and Oncology/Surgery. Peripheral Vascular sales were $22.5 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 26% from the fourth quarter a year ago, inclusive of the laser ablation products acquired from Diomed and the Benephit(R) renal infusion system acquired from FlowMedica. Access sales were $17.9 million in the quarter, a decrease of 1% from the fourth quarter a year ago, and Oncology/Surgery sales grew 15% to $12.4 million from the fourth quarter a year ago. "While we made progress during the fourth quarter, our performance illustrates the investments we are making in IRE and sales and marketing and the work to be done to restore organic sales growth," said Jan Keltjens, President and CEO. "Since early March, I've spent a great deal of time getting to know our team and evaluating the Company's strengths and opportunities. We have begun implementing several actions that I believe will improve future operating performance. We have identified the business areas that can drive global growth and are moving forward on streamlining the organization, increasing accountability, focusing R&D efforts and creating a center of expertise for manufacturing and process engineering. As a result, we are making plans to establish an office closer to the Albany area. This new office will allow us to create needed manufacturing and engineering capacity and focus at our Queensbury global supply chain hub. Additionally, it will provide an attractive and more easily accessible location for our marketing and R&D teams, while enhancing our ability to attract key talent to drive our growth. "We have also decided to accelerate our investments in developing our international business opportunities and we plan to hire a general manager for international commercial operations who will be based in Europe and report to me. We also made good progress with our promising IRE program during the fourth quarter. Our team is currently implementing clinical programs designed to gain specific labeling for the treatment of prostate and pancreatic cancers in the U.S. and generate clinical outcome data for Liver/HCC therapy in international markets," concluded Mr. Keltjens. Highlights of the quarter and more recent activities include the following: o The Company has determined that it will focus on three strategic clinical programs for the NanoKnife(TM) IRE system. The programs will focus on prostate, pancreatic and HCC/liver cancers. There has been good progress with pre-clinical work supporting FDA Investigational Device Exemptions and the first patient enrollment is expected before the end of calendar year 2009. To date, 66 NanoKnife procedures have been conducted worldwide in seven centers, including the first fully commercial IRE case at Banner Good Samaritan hospital in Phoenix. o AngioDynamics has released NanoKnife software version 2.0.7. Among other features of the software, version 2.0.7 offers a robust cardiac synchronization algorithm to avoid ventricular arrhythmia during irreversible electroporation near the heart, an occurrence which had been noted in a few early NanoKnife cases but not since this feature was implemented. o During the past seven weeks, AngioDynamics launched four new products: - The Starburst(R) Xli-enhanced Semi-Flex electrode is the first radiofrequency ablation (RFA) device specifically designed to deliver a 7cm ablation of a tumor in a single placement during CT-aided procedures. - The Starburst(R) XL is an RFA device with a convenient, pre-attached main cable designed to provide reproducible spherical ablations up to 5cm. - The DuraMax(TM) hemodialysis catheter is AngioDynamics' latest evolution in the Company's market-leading stepped tip design that improves ease of use, dialysis efficiency and overall patient outcomes. - The NeverTouch-FRS (fiber recognition system) makes NeverTouch(TM) fiber technology compatible with AngioDynamics' latest Delta Laser system, as well as lasers formerly manufactured by Diomed. o A Center of Excellence for Process Engineering & Technology has been established at the Company's Queensbury manufacturing operations. The goal of the Center is to drive stronger product designs plus manufacturing efficiencies resulting in improved supply chain performance including stable product supply and improved gross margins. Fiscal 2010 Guidance The Company's outlook for fiscal 2010 is as follows: o Net sales in the range of $209 million to $215 million, an increase of 7-10% over fiscal 2009 net sales o Gross margin in the range of 61-62% of net sales o GAAP operating income in the range of $18 million to $20 million, an increase of 12-24% o EBITDA in the range of $30 million to $32 million, an increase of 8-15% o GAAP EPS in the range of $0.43 to $0.47, inclusive of a $0.24 EPS impact from IRE investments Conference Call AngioDynamics management will host a conference call to discuss its fourth quarter results today beginning at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
