"We are pleased with our performance during the quarter as we continued to deliver on our long-term strategic objectives," commented Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics, Inc. "The challenging and uncertain macro environment continued during our first fiscal quarter of 2023, with persistent inflation, as well as hospital staffing and procedural pressures. Our commitment to executing our strategic plan based on our key growth drivers: Auryon, AngioVac, AlphaVac and NanoKnife, enabled us to build on the momentum we generated in fiscal 2022 to deliver solid results even in the face of this challenging environment."

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $81.5 million, an increase of 5.9% compared to the prior-year quarter. Foreign currency translation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s net sales in the quarter.
Med Tech net sales were $22.8 million, a 29.6% increase from the prior-year period. Med Tech includes the Auryon peripheral atherectomy platform, the thrombus management platform and the NanoKnife irreversible electroporation platform. Growth was driven by Auryon sales during the quarter of $8.8 million, which increased 50.0%, thrombectomy sales of $10.0 million, which increased 31.8% and NanoKnife disposable sales, which increased 12.3% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
