LATHAM, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 30, 2021-- AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, peripheral vascular disease, and oncology, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, which ended February 28, 2021.

“I am pleased with our strong third quarter performance, driven by continued strength in our AngioVac and Auryon platforms. Our revenue grew 2% year over year despite continued COVID-19 headwinds, particularly in January and the first half of February. Further, we are encouraged by the recent improvements in our end markets and increasing availability of vaccines,” commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. “We continue to execute on our strategy to drive revenue growth through our key technology platforms: Auryon, AngioVac, and NanoKnife. In addition, our balanced approach to cash and expense management continues to yield profitability on an adjusted basis while allowing us to invest in the development and progression of these key platforms. I am excited about the planned launch of our new mechanical thrombectomy device later in calendar 2021, as well as a number of other planned product improvements and clinical and regulatory pathway expansions that will open up opportunities for us in larger, higher-growth markets.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were $71.2 million, an increase of 2.0% compared to the prior-year quarter. Net sales in the third quarter continued to be impacted by the disruption to procedure volumes resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company's sales in the quarter.

• Vascular Interventions and Therapies (“VIT”) net sales were $33.3 million, an increase of 8.8%, compared to $30.6 million a year ago. Growth was driven primarily by increased sales of the Company's Auryon and AngioVac platforms compared to the previous year. This growth was partially offset by a decline in sales of Venous products resulting from a decline in elective procedure volumes due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. Auryon sales during the quarter were $3.3 million.
• Oncology net sales were $13.1 million, a decrease of 10.1% from $14.6 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year decline was primarily attributable to lower capital sales and ongoing procedure impacts of COVID-19, particularly in international markets, partially offset by continued growth in sales of NanoKnife disposables in the United States.
• Vascular Access net sales were $24.8 million, compared to $24.6 million a year ago.

U.S. net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 were $58.7 million, an increase of 6.9% from $54.9 million a year ago. International net sales were $12.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $14.9 million a year ago.

Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was 54.1%, a decline of 370 basis points compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Consistent with the first half of the year, the year-over-year decline in gross margin was primarily due to Auryon start-up costs and the Company's previously discussed COVID-related operating plan, including under-absorption of the Company's manufacturing facilities attributable to additional operating protocols designed to secure the supply-chain and prioritize employee safety. In addition, gross margin was negatively impacted by staffing challenges in the Company's upstate New York manufacturing facility. During the third quarter, inventory was reduced by $0.6 million when compared to inventory levels on November 30, 2020. During the fiscal year, inventory levels have been reduced by $10.9 million.

The Company recorded a net loss of $3.5 million, or loss per share of $0.09, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. This compares to a net loss of $5.7 million, or loss per share of $0.15, a year ago.

Excluding the items shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.7 million, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.02, compared to adjusted net income in the prior-year period of $0.4 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.01. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 includes a $1.9 million, and $0.04 per share benefit, respectively, related to the reimbursement of certain expenses under the CARES Act.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, excluding the items shown in the reconciliation table below, was $5.4 million, compared to $3.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company generated $5.9 million in operating cash and had capital expenditures of $1.4 million. As of February 28, 2021, the Company had $54.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $58.0 million in cash and cash equivalents on November 30, 2020. The Company reduced its debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility at February 28, 2021, to $30.0 million compared to $40.0 million at November 30, 2020. Subsequent to the end of the third fiscal quarter, the Company further reduced debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility to $20 million. Management remains focused on cash preservation and expense management amid the current environment.
