AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading and transformative medical technology company focused on restoring healthy blood flow in the body’s vascular system, expanding cancer treatment options and improving quality of life for patients, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended August 31, 2023.
“We started Fiscal Year 2024 with strong performance across both businesses, driven by continued strength from NanoKnife and our International markets,” commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. “We remain focused on bringing innovative new products to market, expanding the approved indications for our existing products, and continuing to build a body of compelling clinical evidence in support of these indications and products.”
First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 were $78.7 million, including $0.7 million of Dialysis and BioSentry Tract Sealant System sales. On a pro forma basis, excluding sales of Dialysis and BioSentry, net sales increased 5.7% compared to the prior-year quarter. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company's net sales in the quarter.
Med Tech net sales were $25.9 million, a 13.3% increase from $22.8 million in the prior- year period. Med Tech includes the Auryon peripheral atherectomy platform, the thrombus management platform and the NanoKnife irreversible electroporation platform. Year-over-year growth was driven by Auryon sales during the quarter of $11.1 million, which increased 25.7%, NanoKnife disposable sales of $4.3 million, which grew 34.5%, and AlphaVac sales of $1.8 million, which grew 1.8%. AngioVac sales were $6.3 million in the quarter, a decline of 7.7% year over year and up 3.6% sequentially from the fourth fiscal quarter of FY23.
Med Device net sales were $52.8 million. When excluding sales of Dialysis and BioSentry, Med Device net sales increased 2.3% compared to $51.0 million in the prior-year period.
U.S. net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $64.4 million. When excluding sales of Dialysis and BioSentry, U.S. net sales increased 2.1% from $62.4 million a year ago. International net sales were $14.3 million. When excluding sales of Dialysis and BioSentry, International net sales increased 25.7%, compared to $11.3 million a year ago.
Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 50.9%. On a pro forma basis, excluding Dialysis and BioSentry, gross margin of 50.8% decreased 20 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin for the Med Tech business was 64.7%, an increase of 150 basis points from the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin for the Med Device business was 44.2%. On a pro forma basis, excluding Dialysis and BioSentry, Med Device gross margin of 43.9% decreased 170 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin continued to be impacted by inflationary pressures including increased costs for labor and raw materials as well as geographic mix.
The Company recorded net income of $45.9 million, or earnings per share of $1.15, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. This includes a gain on the sale of the Company’s Dialysis and BioSentry Tract Sealant System products of $47.8 million in connection with the transaction announced on June 8, 2023.
Excluding the items shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below, adjusted net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $4.8 million, and adjusted loss per share was $0.12. When excluding Dialysis and BioSentry, on a pro-forma basis, adjusted net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $5.2 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.13 per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $6.0 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.15 per share compared to the prior-year period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company revised its annual equity grant practice for non-employee directors, moving from granting shares with a one-year vesting term to granting immediately vested shares. The target grant value was not changed from the prior year. This change resulted in cumulative expense totaling approximately $0.02 shifting into the first quarter instead of being ratably expensed over the remainder of fiscal year 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, excluding the items shown in the reconciliation table below, was $0.8 million. When excluding Dialysis and BioSentry, on a pro-forma basis, adjusted EBITDA was $0.4 million compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company used $25.9 million in operating cash, had capital expenditures of $0.8 million and $0.8 million in Auryon placement and evaluation units. As stated in July, the Company expects to finish fiscal year 2024 with cash balances in the range of $65.0 to $70.0 million.
At August 31, 2023, the Company had $57.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $44.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2023. During the first quarter, the Company used the proceeds from the divestiture of its Dialysis and BioSentry Tract Sealant System Biopsy businesses to extinguish its debt.
Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Guidance
The Company continues to expect its fiscal year 2024 net sales to be in the range of $328 to $333 million, gross margin to be approximately 50% to 52% and adjusted loss per share in the range of $0.28 to $0.34. For comparison, pro forma revenue, gross margin, and adjusted loss per share for FY23 when excluding the assets divested to Merit Medical were $306.3 million, 50.5%, and $0.43, respectively.
