LMAT - LeMaitre Q2 2023 Financial Results
BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LeMaitre (Nasdaq:LMAT), a provider of vascular devices, implants and services, today reported Q2 2023 results, announced a $0.14/share quarterly dividend and provided guidance.
Q2 2023 Financial Results
- Sales $50.1mm, +19% (+16% organic) vs. Q2 2022
- Op. income $9.5mm, +63% (+8% adjusted)
- Op. margin 19%
- Net income $8.1mm, +130% (+27% adjusted)
- Earnings per diluted share $0.36, +127% (+25% adjusted)
- Cash up $9.2mm to $90.2mm
Bovine patches (+16%), valvulotomes (+18%), bovine grafts (+13%), carotid shunts (+22%) and allografts (+18%) drove Q2 sales. EMEA was up 26%, APAC 21% and the Americas 16%.
The gross margin decreased to 64.0% in Q2 (vs. 66.0% in Q2 2022), driven by manufacturing inefficiencies and distribution sales of porcine patches, partially offset by price increases.
Operating income of $9.5mm was up 63% vs. Q2 2022. Excluding St. Etienne factory closure charges, operating income was up 8%. Operating expenses (excluding St. Etienne charges) grew 19% due to sales rep growth and higher commissions, as well as CE-related regulatory costs.
George LeMaitre, Chairman and CEO, said “16% organic sales growth and 25% adjusted EPS growth was a result of increased hospital procedures and our 9% price increase. In retrospect, our 2022 hiring surge seems well-timed.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
LeMaitre management believes that in order to better understand the Company's short- 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, including EBITDA. This press release also provides guidance for operating income and EPS excluding the special charge relating to the closure of our St. Etienne factory and revenue related the Aziyo distribution agreement. 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 the aforementioned non-GAAP profitability measures 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, factory closures, 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 the presentation of guidance described above for operating income and EPS provides an alternative and meaningful view of the Company’s profitability.
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.
