LATHAM - AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading and transformative medical technology company focused on restoring healthy blood flow in the body's vascular system, expanding cancer treatment options and improving quality of life for patients, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended February 29, 2024.
'During our fiscal third quarter, we took another significant step in our transformation with the divestiture of our PICC and Midline product portfolios, further strengthening our balance sheet and providing us with an opportunity to enhance our focus on the growth of our Med Tech portfolio,' commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. 'We saw a strong pick up in growth from both our Med Tech and Med Device portfolios during the quarter and continue to drive toward meaningful margin expansion and profitability.'
Mr. Clemmer continued, 'Subsequent to the end of our fiscal third quarter, we reached a settlement agreement with BD/Bard that provides us with clarity and certainty going forward. This allows us to avoid continued litigation and keep the team focused on further developing our key growth platforms. I am also very pleased to announce that earlier this week we received FDA 510(k) clearance for AlphaVac in the treatment of pulmonary embolism. This approval came in ahead of even our expectations and is a testament to the strong submission compiled by our team and the compelling data generated by our APEX trial. This expanded indication is a significant piece of our long-term strategy and validates the effectiveness of the product, opening up another large, fast-growing market for us to serve with this innovative platform.'
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Unless otherwise noted, all financial results below are presented on a pro forma basis excluding the Dialysis and BioSentry businesses divested in June 2023, the PICC and Midline product portfolios divested in February 2024, and the recently discontinued Uniblate and Starburst RadioFrequency products and Syntrax support catheter products.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 were $66.0 million, an increase of 8.0% compared to the prior-year quarter. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company's net sales in the quarter.
Med Tech net sales were $25.7 million, a 12.6% increase from $22.8 million in the prior-year period. Med Tech includes the Auryon peripheral atherectomy platform, the thrombus management platform and the NanoKnife irreversible electroporation platform. Year-over-year growth was driven by Auryon sales during the quarter of $11.8 million, which increased 14.7%, and NanoKnife sales of $6.0 million, which increased 46.7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. NanoKnife disposable sales were $4.2 million, which increased 19.8% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. AngioVac sales were $5.5 million, similar to the prior-year quarter, while AlphaVac sales were $1.1 million, down from $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Med Device net sales were $40.3 million, an increase of 5.2% compared to the prior-year period.
U.S. net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were $55.8 million, an increase of 5.9% from sales of $52.7 million a year ago. International net sales were $10.1 million, an increase of 20.8% from sales of $8.4 million in the prior-year period.
GAAP reported gross margin was 47.7%, a decrease of 250 basis points compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. On a pro forma basis, gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was 51.1%, a decline of 290 basis points from the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin for the Med Tech business was 61.5%, a decline of 300 basis points from the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decline in gross margin for the Med Tech business was driven primarily by product and geographic mix. Gross margin for the Med Device business was 44.4%, a decrease of 330 basis points compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decline in gross margin for the Med Device business was driven primarily by a supplier recall as well as costs associated with the Company's ongoing transition to outsourced manufacturing.
The Company recorded a GAAP net loss of $190.4 million, or a loss per share of $4.73, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The GAAP net loss includes a goodwill impairment charge of $159.5 million, settlement charge of $22.0 million and asset impairment charges totaling $6.7 million related to the transition to outsourced manufacturing and discontinuation of Syntrax. The amount of the goodwill impairment is preliminary, is undergoing further evaluation and will be adjusted, if necessary, prior to the filing of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
On February 29, 2024, the Company had $78.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt compared to $44.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $50.0 million of debt on May 31, 2023.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company used $12.5 million in operating cash, had capital expenditures of $0.6 million and had additions to Auryon placement and evaluation units of $1.2 million. Cash flow during the third quarter was significantly impacted by a combination of timing and extraordinary items related to both the divestiture transaction and manufacturing restructuring as well as approximately $1.0 million related to a supplier recall.

Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Guidance
The Company now expects its fiscal year 2024 net sales to be in the range of $270 to $275 million, which reflects the recent divestiture of the PICC and Midline businesses and discontinuance of the RadioFrequency ablation and Syntrax businesses, which accounted for approximately $50 million of the prior revenue guidance of $320 to $325 million. The Company expects gross margin to be approximately 52.0% to 54.0% and adjusted loss per share in the range of $0.54 to $0.58.
For comparison, pro forma revenue, gross margin, and adjusted loss per share for FY23 when excluding the discontinued assets and the assets divested to Spectrum Vascular and Merit Medical were $257.2 million, 54.9%, and $0.55, respectively.
