Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “We’ve fundamentally repositioned AngioDynamics as a profitable, growth-oriented medical technology company…addressing over $10B in annual global market opportunities” .
- On tariffs: “We incurred $1.6M of tariff expense…We currently expect the full-year impact in FY2026 to be approximately $4–$6M” .
- On NanoKnife ramp: “We do expect reimbursement…to drive growth…not like a light switch…but accelerated growth…in the second half of our fiscal year” .
- On thrombectomy: “AlphaVac…delivered five consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth…AngioVac grew nearly 40% during the quarter” .
Q&A Highlights
- AlphaVac blood return accessory: Working with FDA on 510(k) pathway; confident on approval; not seeing a ceiling without it; expect sequential growth for AlphaVac and AngioVac .
- NanoKnife trajectory: Reimbursement is the key driver; CMS proposed RVUs aligned; expect accelerated adoption post Jan 2026 CPT effective date; private payer coverage work ongoing .
- FY2026 segment outlook: Auryon mid-teens grower; thrombectomy strongest growth; NanoKnife disposables steady with capital modestly lower until reimbursement inflects .
- Gross margin dynamics: Tariff offsets underway; manufacturing transfer benefits accrue more visibly in back-half FY2026 and fully in FY2027 .
Estimates Context
- Q4 FY2025 beat across the board: revenue $80.16M vs ~$74.26M*, adjusted EPS -$0.03 vs -$0.12*, gross margin 52.67% vs 51.65%. Expect Street to raise FY2026 MedTech growth and margin assumptions given ex-tariff GM guide of 55–56% and ongoing thrombectomy momentum .
- Target price consensus stood ~$18.5*; with tariff clarity and cash generation, estimate revisions likely to bias upward for revenue/GM and reduce FY2026 adjusted EPS loss. Values with asterisks retrieved from S&P Global.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Quality beat: revenue, adjusted EPS, and gross margin all beat consensus despite tariff headwinds—underscoring execution resilience .
- Thrombectomy is the growth engine: AngioVac and AlphaVac are taking share with strong clinical validation; expect continued sequential growth and sales force expansion in FY2026 .
- NanoKnife setup is intact: CPT Category I (Jan 2026) and CMS RVUs set the stage; watch H2 FY2026 for acceleration in disposables and later capital .
- Cash generation and flexibility: Q4 FCF $16.2M and $55.9M cash; revolver in place—de-risks manufacturing transition and working capital needs .
- Tariffs manageable: $4–$6M FY2026 impact embedded in guidance; ex-tariff margin guide suggests underlying profitability trajectory improving .
- Medium-term margin thesis: manufacturing transfer savings (~$15M annualized by FY2027) plus mix shift toward MedTech should expand gross margin and EBITDA .
- Near-term trading: momentum catalysts include continued thrombectomy adoption data and EU traction for Auryon; watch CMS finalization and private payer coverage for NanoKnife, and quarterly updates on tariff mitigation .
