LeMaitre Q2 2013 Record Sales $16mm (+12% Organic), Op. Income $1.4mm

- Third Straight Double Digit Growth Quarter -

BURLINGTON, MA, July 30, 2013 — LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMAT), a provider of peripheral vascular devices and implants, today reported Q2 2013 financial results. The Company posted record sales of $16.0mm and operating income of $1.4mm. The Company also announced a $0.03 per share dividend and provided Q3 2013 and full-year 2013 guidance.

Q2 2013 reported sales grew 11% vs. Q2 2012. International sales increased 19%, while the Americas grew 7%. XenoSure posted record sales of $2.0mm in the quarter, a 56% year-over-year improvement. Organic growth was 12% in Q2 2013 and unit growth was 7%.

Gross margin in Q2 2013 was 70.4% vs. 73.4% in Q2 2012. The decrease was due to UnBalloon inventory write-offs, manufacturing inefficiencies, XenoSure transition costs, and mix shift towards faster-growing, lower-margin, XenoSure and international sales.

Q2 2013 operating income was $1.4mm, flat vs. Q2 2012. The 11% sales increase was offset by a lower gross margin and higher operating expenses. Q2 2013 net income increased to $0.9mm, or $0.06 per diluted share, up from $0.8mm, or $0.05 per diluted share in Q2 2012.

George W. LeMaitre, Chairman and CEO commented, “Q2 2013 was excellent. We posted our third straight double digit quarter. International sales were up 19% and our new Canadian subsidiary delivered 42% growth. In addition, in July we made a tuck-in acquisition which should boost our market share in shunts & catheters.”

Total operating expenses in Q2 2013 were $9.8mm, vs. $9.1mm in the year earlier quarter. This 8% increase was driven by higher administrative costs including expenses from the new Canadian subsidiary, higher selling costs and the Affordable Care Act tax. The Company ended Q2 2013 with 85 sales representatives, up from 83 in the prior year period.


Cash and marketable securities were $14.9mm at June 30, 2013, a $400,000 decrease in the quarter largely driven by two quarterly dividend payments totaling $0.9mm and XenoSure clean room construction of $0.7mm, offset by cash from operations.

Inventory Valuation Adjustment

The Company’s Q2 2013 financial results are preliminary, as management is currently evaluating historical inventory valuations related to misclassified manufacturing hours, which impact financial results for 2011, 2012 and the first six months of 2013, and whether prior period financial statements need to be revised. Based on the current status of its review, which is preliminary and subject to change, the attached Q2 2013 financial results reflect the correction of this error, which increased net income during Q2 2013 by approximately $0.3mm.

Any potential revisions to the 2011 and 2012 financial statements would increase reported net income in those periods by approximately $0.4mm and decrease Q2 2013 net income by $0.3mm. The Company expects that on a cumulative basis the sum of all potential period adjustments would be negligible to net income. Cash would remain unaffected by any adjustment. The Company is working to complete its evaluation. All figures presented in this section are still under review.

Quarterly Dividend

On July 24th 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 4, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 21, 2013. Future declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the determination of the Board of Directors.

Clinical Instruments

On July 5, 2013 LeMaitre Vascular acquired the assets of Clinical Instruments International, Inc. (“CII”), a manufacturer of carotid shunts and embolectomy catheters. CII, based in Southbridge, Massachusetts, posted sales of $635,000 in 2012. Total consideration for the acquisition is $1.1mm, of which $900,000 was paid at closing.

Business Outlook

The Company expects Q3 2013 sales of $15.2mm (+10% organic versus Q3 2012), and operating income of $1.1mm (7% operating margin). The Company increased its 2013 full-year sales guidance to $62.3mm (+10% organic vs. 2012), and maintained its full year operating income guidance to $5.0 mm (8% operating margin). The Company also increased its 2013 XenoSure sales guidance to $7.3mm.

All guidance excludes the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as well as future acquisitions and divestitures.

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

 

Page 3


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 and growth percentages after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency exchange, business development transactions, and other events. The Company refers to this calculation of non-GAAP sales amounts and percentages as “organic.” The Company analyzes non-GAAP sales on a constant currency basis, net of acquisitions and other non-recurring events, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company’s current financial results, as discussed in this release, are preliminary and unaudited, and subject to adjustment. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
