LeMaitre Vascular Announces Q3 2020 Financial Results

BURLINGTON, MA, October 29, 2020 - LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q3 2020 results and announced a $0.095/share quarterly dividend.

Q3 2020 Results

●     Sales of $36.4mm, +25% (-3% organic) vs. Q3 2019

●     Op. income of $10.0mm, +70%

●     Op. margin of 28%

●     Net income of $7.5mm, +45%

●     Earnings of $0.37 per diluted share, +44%

●     EBITDA of $12.6mm, +79%

●     Cash & equivalents up $9.3mm to $34.4mm

●     Debt down $4.5mm to $60.5mm

The Company posted sales growth in the Americas (+37%), Asia/Pac (+12%) and Europe/Middle East/Africa (+6%). The three recent acquisitions (Artegraft, CardioCel and Eze-Sit) and the return of elective surgery drove growth.

Gross margin decreased to 62.3% in Q3 2020 (vs. 69.3% in Q3 2019) primarily due to Artegraft purchase-price accounting.

Operating expenses decreased 11% to $12.7mm in Q3 2020 (vs. $14.3mm). This decline was driven by COVID-related cost-cuts, including reduced sales & marketing expenses.

Chairman & CEO George LeMaitre said, “Record sales in Q3 and tight expense control led to healthy bottom-line results and an improved balance sheet.”

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 non-GAAP outstanding debt, which excludes the impact of unamortized deferred financing costs. The Company believes that considering its debt in this manner provides a view of the amount owed on a cash basis.
