Exhibit 99.1

 

LeMaitre Vascular Announces Q2 2020 Financial Results

 

BURLINGTON, MA, July 23, 2020 - LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q2 2020 results and announced a $0.095/share quarterly dividend.

 

Q2 2020 Results

 

 

Sales of $24.9mm, -16% (-24% organic) vs. Q2 2019

 

Op. income of $4.9mm, -18%

 

Adjusted op. income of $6.1mm, +3% (excludes acquisition-related special items)

 

Operating margin of 20%

 

Net income of $3.5mm, -24%

 

Earnings of $0.17 per diluted share, -25%

 

EBITDA of $6.4mm, -11%

 

Sales declined in the Americas (-15%) and Europe/Middle East/Africa (-21%), while Asia/Pac was flat. Sales of nearly all products declined in Q2, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales were down 33% in April, down 21% in May and up 7% in June. 

 

Gross margin decreased to 68.5% in Q2 2020 (vs. 68.9% in Q2 2019) primarily due to manufacturing inefficiencies offset by favorable product mix. 

 

Operating expenses in Q2 2020 decreased 16% to $12.2mm (vs. $14.4mm) driven by headcount reductions, temporary salary cuts and general belt-tightening. Excluding $1.2mm of special items related to the Artegraft transaction, operating expenses were $11.0mm, down 24% vs. Q2 2019.

 

Chairman and CEO George LeMaitre said, “Although COVID-19 cut into sales, we right-sized expenses and posted a 20% operating margin. During the quarter we also acquired Artegraft, a dialysis access graft implanted primarily by vascular surgeons.” 

 

Business Outlook

 

Due to the uncertainties driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, financial guidance is limited to Q3 2020.

Acquisition of Artegraft

 

On June 22, 2020 LeMaitre Vascular acquired Artegraft, Inc. for $90.0 million, including $72.5 million in cash at closing and $17.5mm of potential earnouts. The acquisition was financed with a $65.0mm bank loan and cash on hand. Artegraft is a vascular graft derived from bovine carotid arteries, used primarily in dialysis access. In the twelve months ended May 31, 2020, Artegraft’s sales were $15.6mm and estimated hospital-level sales were $18.6mm. Unit sales grew 10% in 2019. LeMaitre Vascular also agreed to operate Artegraft’s NJ production facility for at least 3.5 years and retain most of its employees.

 

 

Quarterly Dividend

 

On July 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.095/share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 10, 2020 to shareholders of record on August 27, 2020.

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 growth 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, divestitures, 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.

 

The Company has also reported “adjusted operating income,” which excludes acquisition-related costs. Because acquisitions are episodic in nature and are highly variable to the Company’s results, the Company believes that evaluating its profitability net of the expenses of such transactions provides an additional and meaningful assessment of profitability 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. Statements in this press release regarding the Company's business that are not historical facts may be "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current, preliminary expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results expected, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, our customers, our suppliers and our company; compliance with foreign regulatory requirements to market our products outside the United States; the risk of significant fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results due to numerous factors; the risk that assumptions about the market for the Company’s products and the productivity of the Company’s direct sales force and distributors may not be correct; the risk that we may not be able to maintain our recent levels of profitability; the risk that the Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of its strategic activities; risks related to the integration of acquisition targets; the acceleration or deceleration of product growth rates; risks related to product demand and market acceptance of the Company’s products and pricing; the risk that a recall of our products could result in significant costs or negative publicity; the risk that the Company is not successful in transitioning to a direct-selling model in new territories and other risks and uncertainties included under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are all available on the Company's investor relations website at http://www.lemaitre.com and on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
