• Net sales of $83.4 million
• GAAP net loss of $0.02 per share; Adjusted (Non-GAAP) net income of $0.10 per share, a YOY 25% increase
• Integration of Navilyst Medical yielding significant cost savings

ALBANY, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AngioDynamics (Nasdaq:ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, surgery, peripheral vascular disease and oncology, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2013 first quarter ended August 31, 2012. Financial results include Navilyst Medical in the fiscal 2013 first quarter.

Net sales for the first quarter were $83.4 million, a 53% increase over the $54.4 million reported a year ago. Compared to prior year first quarter pro forma net sales, which include Navilyst Medical and exclude LC Beads sales, total Company net sales decreased 1%; U.S. net sales decreased 4%; international net sales increased 16% (18% on a constant currency basis); Vascular net sales decreased 2%; and Oncology/Surgery net sales increased 15%. Net sales by product line are presented on a pro forma basis in a table at the end of this press release.

The Company reported a first quarter net loss of $721,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per share, a year ago. First quarter results include costs relating to the Navilyst Medical acquisition, the subsequent restructuring of the Company and the Quality Call to Action Program. Excluding the aforementioned costs, which are set forth in the attached reconciliation table, adjusted (Non-GAAP) net income was $3.6 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.08 per share, a year ago. Diluted average shares outstanding increased to 34.7 million in the first quarter from 25.2 million in the prior year period due to the additional shares issued in conjunction with the Navilyst Medical acquisition.

The Company reported first quarter EBITDA of $6.6 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.23 per share, a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation table, was $13.2 million, or $0.38 per share, in the first quarter compared to $6.8 million, or $0.27 per share, a year ago.

"We achieved our sales guidance and delivered solid operating results especially in the area of cost management," said Joseph DeVivo, President and CEO of AngioDynamics. "With the successful ongoing integration of Navilyst and AngioDynamics, the recent U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of our first BioFlo product and other planned initiatives, we are well positioned to achieve our growth objectives for this fiscal year and beyond."

At August 31, 2012, cash, escrow receivable and investments were $33.0 million, and long-term debt was $149.6 million.

Highlights of the reporting and subsequent period include:

• The Company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(K) clearance for BioFlo peripherally inserted catheters (PICCs) with Endexo technology. Designed to reduce the accumulation of catheter-related thrombus on, and in the catheter, these are the first vascular access products from AngioDynamics to offer BioFlo technology in the U.S. market.
   
• Total Oncology/Surgery pro forma sales growth of 15% excluding LCBeads, driven by NanoKnife System sales of $3 million, a 31% increase over last year's first quarter, and thermal ablation sales growth of 14% compared with the year ago period, driven by strong international sales of Microwave ablation products.
   
• International pro forma sales growth of 18% on a constant currency basis led by strong sales in Canada reflecting the establishment of a direct sales operation, being awarded a major GPO contract and initial sales of BioFlo PICCs, in addition to the sale of Microwave ablation products.
   
• HealthTrust Purchasing Group (HealthTrust), a group purchasing organization representing more than 1,400 not-for-profit and for-profit acute care facilities, as well as 10,600 ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices and alternate care sites, awarded the Company a contract covering chronic and acute dialysis catheters. The contract became effective Oct. 1, 2012, and is the first vascular access contract for AngioDynamics with HealthTrust.
   
• The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York entered partial judgment on the Company's legal case against biolitec, awarding AngioDynamics $16.5 million in damages.
   
• AngioDynamics has strengthened its senior leadership team with the addition of two proven and experienced medical device executives. Louis J. Mazzarese has joined the Company as Senior Vice President and Chief Regulatory Officer and John Soto has been named Senior Vice President, Global Franchise, Peripheral Vascular, both reporting to Joseph DeVivo, President and CEO.

Vortex Medical Acquisition

In a separate release issued today, AngioDynamics announced an agreement to acquire Vortex Medical, a privately-held company focused on the development of innovative medical devices for the removal of thrombus, or blood clots, from occluded blood vessels. Vortex has developed and is currently commercializing the AngioVac Cannula and Circuit to facilitate venous drainage during extracorporeal bypass procedures. The AngioVac Cannula's proprietary design facilitates en bloc removal of undesirable intravascular material. The AngioVac Cannula and Circuit are 510(k) cleared and an application has been filed for CE Mark approval. This acquisition will advance AngioDynamics' venous disease strategy and is consistent with its focus on innovative products that offer the potential for sustainable, profitable growth. In fiscal 2014, the acquisition is expected to add approximately $10 million of sales and be accretive to GAAP net income and EPS. The impact on fiscal 2013 financial results is indicated below.

Fiscal 2013 Guidance

The Company expects to close the acquisition of Vortex Medical by the end of October. In fiscal year 2013, the acquisition is expected to add approximately $1 million in sales, reduce operating income by approximately $5 million, have negligible impact on EBITDA, and reduce EPS by approximately $0.09 on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis.

	GAAP	Adjusted Non-GAAP
Sales ($ in mils.) (a)	361 — 364	361 — 364
Pro Forma Sales Growth (b)	5%	5%
Gross Margin (c)	50-51%	51-52%
Operating Income ($ in mils.) (d)	13 — 15	29 — 31
EBITDA ($ in mils.) (d) (e), a Non- GAAP measure	44 — 45	60 — 61
EPS ($) (f)	0.12 - 0.14	0.40 - 0.42
a)  Quarterly calendarization is expected to approximate 23%/24%/25%/28% of the annual amount.
b)  Fiscal year 2012 pro forma combined sales excluding LC Beads is $344.3 million.
c)  Includes $3.4 million for amortization of inventory basis step-up and $1.2 million for the QCTA/FDA remediation programs, which are excluded in Adjusted Non-GAAP, and $2.9 million for the medical device tax with effect from January 1, 2013, which is included in GAAP and Adjusted Non-GAAP.
d)  Adjusted result reflects an estimated $16 million in acquisition-related and restructuring costs, which include amortization of inventory basis step-up, accelerated asset depreciation, transaction-related professional fees, employment severance costs, QCTA/FDA remediation programs, and the closure of the U.K. manufacturing facility. Quarterly calendarization of the $16 million will approximate $7 million/$5 million/$2 million/$2 million.
e)  $17 million in amortization, $8 million in depreciation, and $4 million in purchase accounting related to Vortex Medical are excluded from both measures.
f)  Approximately 36 million diluted shares outstanding and a 37% tax rate.

"Our goal remains to exit the fiscal year positioned to generate double-digit top- and bottom-line growth over the long term," added Mr. DeVivo.
