Segmental Analysis
Vascular Interventions and Therapies (VIT) Business
VIT revenues in the fiscal third quarter grossed $33.3 million, up 8.8% from the year-ago period. This was driven by higher sales of the company’s Auryon and AngioVac platforms, which were partially offset by soft sales of Venous products amid weak elective procedure volumes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vascular Access (VA) Business
Revenues at this segment amounted to $24.8 million, up 0.8% on a year-over-year basis.
Oncology/Surgery Business
Revenues dipped 10.1% year over year to $13.1 million. Per management, this downside was due to lower capital sales, partially offset by robust growth in the sales of NanoKnife disposables, especially in the United States.
Margin Analysis
In the quarter under review, gross profit totaled $38.5 million, down 4.4% from the year-ago quarter. Moreover, gross margin was 54.1%, down 362 basis points (bps).
Adjusted operating profit came in at $1.3 million, up 75.6% year over year. Adjusted operating margin expanded 79 bps to 1.9%.
2021 Guidance

Revenues are now projected in the range of $285-$288 million (compared with the previously-issued guidance of $278-$284 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $283.2 million.
Adjusted EPS is now pegged between 4 cents and 6 cents (compared with the past view of breakeven and 5 cents). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the metric is pegged at 2 cents.
Cash Position
The company exited the fiscal third quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $54.5 million compared with $58 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Cumulative net cash provided by operating activities came in at $11.9 million compared with net cash used in the same of $18.4 million a year ago.
Summary
AngioDynamics exited the third quarter of fiscal 2021 on a strong note. The company continued gaining from the Auryon Atherectomy System launch. It saw revenue growth in two of its operating segments. It witnessed a solid performance of its technology platforms including strong sales growth in AngioVac arm and $3.3 million worth of sales in its Auryon suite.
However, the company witnessed a revenue decline in its Oncology segment during the quarter under review. Also, contraction in gross margin is worrisome.
