July 27, 2017 at 4:05 PM EDT

BURLINGTON, Mass., July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q2 2017 results, provided increased guidance, announced a $0.055/share dividend and authorized a $7.5mm share repurchase program.

Q2 2017 Results

  • Record sales of $25.8mm, +15% vs. Q2 2016
  • Record operating income of $5.5mm, +46%
  • Record net income of $4.6mm, +78%
  • Record earnings per diluted share of $0.23, +69%
  • Record EBITDA of $6.4mm, +35%
  • Cash & equivalents up $4.3mm during the quarter to $30.1mm

Q2 2017 sales of $25.8mm increased 15% (+10% organic) vs. Q2 2016.  Biologic patches and grafts led growth.  Sales in the Americas were up 22% while international sales increased 5%. 

Gross margin decreased to 68.0% in Q2 2017 from 68.6% in Q2 2016, primarily due to the addition of recently-acquired products, as well as manufacturing inefficiencies.

Operating expenses in Q2 2017 were $12.0mm, a 3% increase vs. the year-earlier quarter, driven by acquisition-related costs.

George W. LeMaitre, Chairman and CEO said, “We continue to pursue 10% annual reported sales growth and 20% annual operating income growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

LeMaitre Vascular management believes that in order to better understand the Company's short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider certain non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not have standardized meanings. These non-GAAP measures result from facts and circumstances that may vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the description provided below, reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

In this press release, the Company has reported non-GAAP sales growth percentages after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency exchange, business development transactions, and/or other events as well as EBITDA or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company refers to the calculation of non-GAAP sales percentages as "organic." The Company analyzes non-GAAP sales on a constant currency basis, net of acquisitions and other non-recurring events, and EBITDA to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates have a non-operating impact on net sales, and acquisitions, product discontinuations, and other strategic transactions are episodic in nature and are highly variable to the reported sales results, the Company believes that evaluating growth in sales on a constant currency basis net of such transactions provides an additional and meaningful assessment of sales to management. The Company believes that evaluating EBITDA provides an approximation of the cash generating ability of its operations.
