Exhibit 99.1

LeMaitre Q2 2018 Record Sales $27.0mm (+5%), Record EPS $0.43 (+86%)

BURLINGTON, MA, July 26, 2018 - LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q2 2018 results, provided guidance and announced a $0.07/share dividend.

Q2 2018 Results

 

   

Record sales of $27.0mm, +5% vs. Q2 2017

 

   

Record operating income of $11.5mm vs. $5.5mm, +108%

 

   

Record net income of $8.8mm vs. $4.6mm, +89%

 

   

Record earnings of $0.43 per diluted share vs. $0.23, +86%

 

   

Record EBITDA of $12.4mm vs. $6.4mm, +94%

Q2 2018 sales of $27.0mm increased 5% (+6% organic) vs. Q2 2017. Patches, shunts and allografts led growth. Sales in Europe/Middle East/Africa and Asia/Pac Rim were up 12% and 21% respectively, while sales in the Americas were flat, due in part to the Reddick divestiture.

Gross margin increased to 70.3% in Q2 2018 from 68.0% in Q2 2017, primarily due to product mix.

Operating income in Q2 2018 was $11.5mm, a 108% increase vs. the year-earlier quarter. Excluding the one-time gain from the Reddick divestiture, operating income in the quarter was $5.7mm, a 2% increase. Had the Reddick product lines not been divested, the Company estimates adjusted operating income would have been $6.3mm, a 13% increase vs. the year-earlier quarter (reconciliation below).

George W. LeMaitre, Chairman and CEO said, “We continue to pursue 10% annual reported sales growth and 20% annual operating income growth.”

Changes to 2018 guidance since the Company’s April 25, 2018 conference call were primarily driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Divestiture of General Surgery Product Lines

On April 5, 2018, the Company divested its general surgery product lines to Symmetry Surgical, Inc. for $7.4 million, which resulted in a $5.9mm gain. Included in the divestiture were the Reddick Cholangiogram Catheter and Reddick Saye-Screw, neither of which were sold to the company’s core customer, the vascular surgeon. In 2017, these product lines accounted for $3.3 million in revenue and $2.5 million in gross profit.

Quarterly Dividend

On July 23, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.07/share of common stock. The dividend will be paid September 6, 2018 to shareholders of record on August 22, 2018.

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.

In addition, the Company has presented in this press release two additional non-GAAP measures. The first presents operating income excluding the one-time gain from the Reddick divestiture. The second non-GAAP measure, “adjusted operating income,” was calculated by approximating the Company’s operating income had the divestiture of the Reddick product lines not occurred. In order to do so, the Company i) excluded the one-time gain resulting from the sale of the assets as well as gross profits associated with contract services to Symmetry Surgical, Inc. and ii) added back estimated lost gross profits from the product lines divested as well as transaction costs. You should not view operating income excluding the one-time gain or adjusted operating income as a substitute for operating income determined in accordance with GAAP. However, Company management believes that the presentation of operating income excluding the one-time gain provides a view of the Company’s results of operations excluding a non-recurring event and adjusted operating income provides an understanding of the Company’s results of operations in the absence of the Reddick divestiture.
