NanoKnife® IRE System Net Sales of $700,000

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. January 5, 2010 — AngioDynamics (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative medical devices for the minimally-invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended November 30, 2009.

Net sales in the second quarter were $53.5 million, a 10% increase over the $48.5 million reported for the second quarter a year ago.  Gross margin was 59.1% compared with 61.3% a year ago, with the decline primarily attributable to lower selling prices for certain products in a competitive pricing environment, higher material costs for certain products and product mix.  Operating income was $5.3 million in the quarter compared with $4.9 million a year ago.  Net income was $3.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $2.9 million, or $0.12 per share, a year ago.

AngioDynamics generated $11.2 million in cash flow from operations during the quarter.  At November 30, 2009, the Company had cash and investments of $74.0 million and long-term debt of $6.9 million.

Oncology/Surgery sales grew 28% to $13.6 million from the second quarter a year ago and included $700,000 in NanoKnife IRE system sales.  Peripheral Vascular sales increased by 6% from the second quarter a year ago to $23.2 million, and included $832,000 in sales of the Benephit® renal infusion system acquired from FlowMedica in January 2009.  Access sales were $16.7 million in the quarter, an increase of 4% from the second quarter a year ago.

For the six months ended November 30, 2009, net sales were $103.6 million, a 12% increase over the $92.8 million reported for the prior year period; gross margin was 59.6% compared with 61.6% for the prior year; operating income was $8.9 million compared with $8.7 million for the prior year; net income was $5.2 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with $5.1 million, or $0.21 per share for the prior year.

“Our solid second quarter performance was led by strong sales from our Oncology/Surgery business unit and good operating expense control, which combined to offset the impact on our gross margin of product mix and a very competitive pricing environment for many product categories,” said Jan Keltjens, President and CEO.  “All Oncology/Surgery products contributed to the exceptional sales growth in this business unit this quarter, and we were particularly pleased to see the initial market interest in our new NanoKnife IRE system.  In addition, we continued to gain positive clinical experience with the NanoKnife system as more than 100 patients have been treated with this promising technology.

“As we look ahead, we anticipate the continuation of a challenging pricing environment and are striving to achieve continued solid top line growth, operating efficiencies and expense control to deliver bottom line performance.  Based on our first half momentum and planned second half initiatives, today we are raising our guidance for the full fiscal year,” concluded Mr. Keltjens.

Highlights of the quarter, and more recent activities, include the following:

·  
Stephen J. McGill was appointed Senior Vice President and General Manager, International, a newly created position.  Mr. McGill served as Senior Vice President, Global Sales for American Medical Systems and will lead AngioDynamics’ efforts to target and expand its business in the international arena.

·  
NanoKnife IRE systems continue to be utilized by physicians at various institutions globally who have treated an additional 18 patients since early October. The total number of patients treated to date with the NanoKnife system at nine centers now stands at 104.  Of particular note is the treatment of a patient with a pancreatic lesion over three weeks ago.  This patient was discharged shortly after the IRE procedure without complication and continues to be free of complications.  Procedures have been performed in seven organs (prostate, liver, lung, kidney, bone, pancreas and lymph nodes). In all cases the safety profile for this non-thermal ablation technology remains positive.

·  
The introduction of a new family of micro-introducer kits and the Total Abscession® nephrostomy drain catheter brought the total number of new products launched during fiscal 2010 to six.  The Company remains on track for a total of 11 launches in this fiscal year.

 
·  
On November 30, AngioDynamics was added to the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index.  The MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index represents a universe of small capitalization companies in the U.S. equity market.

Fiscal 2010 Guidance

The Company updated its outlook for fiscal 2010 to the following:

·  
Net sales in the range of $214 million to $217 million, an increase of 10-11% over fiscal 2009 net sales (an increase from previous guidance of $211 million to $215 million)
·  
Gross margin in the range of 59-60% of net sales (a decrease from previous guidance of 61-62%)
·  
GAAP operating income in the range of $19 million to $21 million (an increase from previous guidance of $18 million to $20 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 AngioDynamics’ 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, AngioDynamics has reported non-GAAP EBITDA (income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Management uses this measure in its internal analysis and review of operational performance. Management believes that this measure provides investors with useful information in comparing AngioDynamics’ performance over different periods. By using this non-GAAP measure, management believes that investors get a better picture of the performance of AngioDynamics’ underlying business. Management encourages investors to review AngioDynamics’ financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP to understand AngioDynamics’ performance taking into account all relevant factors, including those that may only occur from time to time but have a material impact on AngioDynamics’ financial results. Please see the tables that follow for a reconciliation of Operating Income to non-GAAP measures.
