QUEENSBURY, N.Y. October 2, 2008 — AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative medical devices used by interventional radiologists and surgeons for the minimally invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended August 31, 2008.  Financial results include the acquisition of Diomed assets since June 17, 2008, the date of acquisition.

Net sales in the fiscal first quarter were $44.3 million, an 18% increase over the $37.5 million reported in the first quarter a year ago.  Gross margin rose in the first quarter to 61.9% from 60.0% in the prior year’s first quarter.  Operating income increased in the first quarter to $3.8 million compared with $3.5 million a year ago.  Net income was $2.2 million or $0.09 per share in the fiscal first quarter, as compared with $2.4 million or $0.10 per share for the corresponding period one year ago.  EBITDA (Non GAAP) increased 20% to $6.7 million or $0.27 per share from $5.6 million or $0.23 in the first quarter a year ago.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009 AngioDynamics began operating three business units: Peripheral Vascular, Access and Oncology/Surgery.  Peripheral Vascular business unit sales were $18.4 million in the quarter, an increase of 31% from the first quarter a year ago, inclusive of the laser ablation products acquired from Diomed.  Access business unit sales were $15.7 million in the quarter, an increase of 6% from the first quarter a year ago, and Oncology/Surgery sales grew 18% to $10.2 million in the first quarter.


 
“Fiscal 2009 is off to a very good start.  The acquisition of Diomed has established AngioDynamics as the market leader in the laser ablation of varicose veins.  In addition,   we completed the reorganization of the Company into three market-focused business units, and we continued to develop our IRE technology.  I am pleased with how rapidly we transitioned to our business unit operating structure.  We have nearly completed the planned 40% expansion of our Peripheral Vascular and Access sales forces as well as made a number of other significant hires,” said Eamonn P. Hobbs, President and CEO.

“During the quarter, we hired 35 former Diomed employees and integrated them into our Peripheral Vascular business unit.  In addition, we immediately began implementing laser system and disposable product transition strategies.  Customer demand for the EVLT® disposable products remained strong during the quarter.  However, first quarter laser system sales were impacted by the market’s uncertainty regarding Diomed during the months leading up to our acquisition.  We believe we are gaining momentum in the marketplace and expect laser systems sales to grow as the year progresses,” added Mr. Hobbs.

“We continue to make significant progress with NanoKnife, our first irreversible electroporation (IRE) product development program,” continued Mr. Hobbs.  “A key component of the NanoKnife program is the placement of systems with key thought leaders, including five of the top 10 cancer centers, in the U.S. and Europe.  While our original plan was to place a total of 20 units, we have decided to increase the number to 25 due to the strong level of interest from leading specialists.  To date, 12 NanoKnife IRE Systems have been installed and another 13 have been either shipped or are scheduled for shipment,” added Mr. Hobbs.

“Investigator- sponsored clinical studies for liver, pancreatic, kidney, and lung lesions are expected to begin during our second and third fiscal quarters.  We have had excellent results with the 17 prostate cancer patients who have been treated with NanoKnife in the U.S.  In Italy, a second prostate cancer study with Italian Ministry of Health approval has begun with Professor Maurizio Brausi at the Carpi General Hospital near Bologna, Italy.  In addition, we continue to pursue Australian, Canadian, and European regulatory approvals. During the quarter, we also made progress in developing pre-clinical program protocols for uterine fibroid ablation, brain, pancreatic, kidney, liver, lung, and endovascular therapies,” concluded Mr. Hobbs.

The Company reported cash and investments at August 31, 2008 of $59.2 million and long term debt of $7.3 million.
 
Fiscal 2009 Guidance
 
The Company reaffirmed its outlook for fiscal 2009 of net sales in the range of $205 - $210 million, GAAP operating income in the range of $21-$22 million, GAAP EPS of approximately $0.55 and EBITDA in the range of $33-35 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
 
Management uses non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals, and believes that non-GAAP measures may assist investors in analyzing the underlying trends in the Company's business over time. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In this news release, the Company has reported non-GAAP EBITDA, (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and EBITDA per share. Management uses these measures in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Management believes that these measures provide investors with useful information in comparing the Company's performance over different periods, particularly when comparing this period to periods in which the Company did not incur any expenses relating to these activities or items. By using these non-GAAP measures, management believes that investors get a better picture of the performance of the Company's underlying business. Management encourages investors to review the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand the Company's performance taking into account all relevant factors, including those that may only occur from time to time but have a material impact on the Company's financial results. Please see the tables that follow for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
