LATHAM, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 2019, which ended February 28, 2019.

"While we had pockets of softness in our financial performance during the third quarter, our overall performance remains strong, and we are confident that we will achieve our full-year guidance. We saw strong growth contributions during the quarter from AngioVac and Solero, as well as from Fluid Management," commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. "Additionally, I am very excited that the FDA has approved the IDE for our NanoKnife® DIRECT Clinical Study, which is the next step toward this incredible technology improving the standard of care for patients afflicted with Stage III pancreatic cancer. The IDE approval also represents a milestone for AngioDynamics as we transform into an evidence-based Company focused on therapies and outcomes facilitated by our unique technologies."

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were $86.3 million, an increase of 3.0%, compared to $83.9 million a year ago. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company's sales in the quarter.

Oncology net sales were $13.9 million, an increase of 15.1% from $12.1 million a year ago, as strong sales of Solero, as well as the recent BioSentry and RadiaDyne acquisitions, more than offset weaker than anticipated NanoKnife capital sales during the quarter.
Vascular Interventions and Therapies net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were $50.1 million, an increase of 3.3%, compared to $48.5 million a year ago, as strong growth in AngioVac was partially offset by a decelerating decline in the Venous Insufficiency business.
Vascular Access net sales were $22.3 million, a decrease of 4.0% from $23.3 million a year ago, as lower sales of midlines, PICCs, and ports were somewhat offset by strong dialysis sales.

U.S. net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were $68.3 million, an increase of 3.9% from $65.8 million a year ago, and International net sales were $18.0 million, a decrease of 0.3% from $18.1 million a year ago.

Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 declined 10 basis points to 54.1% from 54.2% a year ago. This reflects temporary headwinds related to FX and a one-time positive impact from plant closures recognized last year. The Company continues to see gains in gross margin related to operational and supply-chain improvements.

The Company recorded net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This compares to net income of approximately $14.0 million, or $0.37 per share, a year ago.

Excluding the items shown in the non-GAAP reconciliation table below, adjusted net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $7.4 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to adjusted net income of $8.7 million, or $0.23 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Adjusted EBITDAS in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, excluding the items shown in the reconciliation table below, was $14.9 million, compared to $16.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company generated $8.3 million in operating cash flow and had capital expenditures of $0.9 million. As of February 28, 2019, the Company had $41.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $133.8 million in debt, excluding the impact of deferred financing costs.
