Guidance Changes
Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “We now expect to deliver positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year, illustrating continued execution on our goal of delivering sustained profitability” — James Clemmer .
- “We received an expanded indication for the NanoKnife system for prostate… and… CPT Category I code for the treatment of lesions in the prostate and in liver” — James Clemmer .
- “Med Tech gross margin was 63.7%… Med Device gross margin was 47.8%, primarily driven by inflationary pressures and costs associated with the transition to outsource manufacturing” — Stephen Trowbridge .
- “We expect this transition to generate approximately $15 million in annualized savings by fiscal 2027” — James Clemmer .
- “AlphaVac’s 35.5% reduction in clot burden… compares favorably to the 9.3% reduction reported in the current market leaders IDE data” — James Clemmer (on APEX publication) .
Q&A Highlights
- Thrombectomy acceleration and sustainability: management cited cross-selling synergies between AlphaVac and AngioVac and continued expansion of specialized sales resources to sustain growth .
- Auryon trajectory: focus remains on hospital penetration while maintaining OBL presence; EU commercialization is targeted and staged; reimbursement dynamics are managed market-by-market .
- Gross margin cadence: benefits from Med Tech mix offset by under-absorbed overhead during manufacturing transfer; long-term margin expansion expected post-transfer .
- NanoKnife reimbursement: first CPT reimbursement readout expected in summer (July) with permanent CPT code effective Jan 1, 2026; adoption building via physician/patient education .
- Commercial resourcing: thrombectomy sales force is expanding in 2025; Auryon investments continue, with oncology likely requiring added support as CPT and payer coverage mature .
Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for EPS and revenue was unavailable at time of this analysis due to access limits; therefore, beat/miss versus consensus cannot be determined. Estimates comparisons will be provided once S&P Global data access is restored.
- Given the raised FY25 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, Street models likely need upward revisions for FY25 profitability and Med Tech growth; Med Device growth has been reduced to flat, tempering that segment’s contribution .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Strong Med Tech execution is the core driver: AngioVac/AlphaVac +50.7%/+33.3% YoY and Auryon +21.8% YoY demonstrate competitive share gains; expect continued double-digit thrombectomy growth as portfolio synergies scale .
- NanoKnife is strategically de-risked (FDA 510(k) + CPT Category I), with a larger inflection likely post CPT effective date and payer coverage ramp; near-term growth led by disposables and prostate procedure adoption .
- Guidance raised on profitability (Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS) despite manufacturing transition headwinds; long-term $15M annualized savings support margin expansion and cash generation .
- Mix shift to Med Tech increases gross margin; watch near-term under-absorption and Med Device inflation/outsourcing costs, but trajectory improves as transfer completes .
- Balance sheet remains solid (cash $54.1M at Q2-end; no debt), with prudent revolver plans for working capital flexibility; operating cash flow positive in Q2 .
- Trading setup: catalysts include payer reimbursement updates (summer), continued thrombectomy adoption, EU Auryon ramp, and Q4 seasonality (strongest quarter) — monitor sequential dip in Q3 per cadence commentary .
- Risks: International softness (-6.6% YoY), Med Device margin pressure, and execution on manufacturing transfer; however, strategic focus on high-growth, higher-margin Med Tech mitigates medium-term risk .
