Exhibit 99.1
LeMaitre Q2 2017 Record Sales $25.8 mm (+15%), Record EPS $0.23 (+69%)
BURLINGTON, MA, July 27, 2017 - 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.
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. Specifically, forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s expectations regarding Q3 2017 and 2017 sales, gross margin, operating income and earnings per share. 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 risk that the Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of its strategic activities; 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; risks related to the integration of acquisition targets; 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; adverse or fluctuating conditions in the general domestic and global economic markets 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, all of which are 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events, or circumstances after the date they were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
