Geographical Analysis

Segmental Analysis

AngioDynamics derives revenues from two businesses — Med Tech and Med Device.

The Med Tech business’ net sales in the fiscal first quarter were $22.8 million, reflecting an uptick of 29.6% year over year. This was primarily on the back of increased net sales of Auryon amounting to $8.8 million (up 50%), thrombectomy sales of $10 million (up 31.8%) and NanoKnife disposable sales (up 12.3%) compared to the prior-year quarter.

This figure compares to our fiscal first quarter’s Med Tech business’ net sales projection of $20.8 million.

Med Device revenues in the fiscal first quarter grossed $58.7 million, down 1.1% from the year-ago period. This was due to modest declines in the balance of the portfolio, partially offset by modest growth in AngioDynamics’ core dialysis and microwave products.

This figure compares to our fiscal first quarter’s Med Device business’ net sales projection of $62.8 million.

Our Take

AngioDynamics exited the first quarter of fiscal 2023 with lower-than-expected results. Dismal bottom-line performance and decline in Med Device revenues are concerning. The gross margin contraction and adjusted operating loss incurred during the quarter are not encouraging. AngioDynamics continues to face various macro-related headwinds, including persistent inflation, and hospital staffing and procedural pressures, which raise our apprehension.

On the positive side, the company continued gaining from its Med Tech business. Its year-over-year uptick in revenues and solid domestic and international revenues are impressive. Robust mechanical thrombectomy revenue, which includes AngioVac and AlphaVac sales as well as strong thrombus management revenue led by strength in Uni-Fuse is also promising.

During the fiscal first quarter, AngioDynamics confirmed its launch of Auryon catheter line extensions providing enhanced usability. In September, the company also received regulatory clearance for a hydrophilic-coated catheter. These developments raise optimism regarding the stock.
