Executive Overview
We design, manufacture and sell a wide range of medical, surgical and diagnostic
devices used by professional healthcare providers for vascular access, for the
treatment of peripheral vascular disease and for use in oncology and surgical
settings. Our devices are generally used in minimally invasive, image-guided
procedures. Many of our products are intended to be used once and then
discarded, or they may be temporarily implanted for short- or longer-term use.
Our business operations cross a variety of markets. Our financial performance is
impacted by changing market dynamics, which have included an emergence of
value-based purchasing by healthcare providers, consolidation of healthcare
providers, the increased role of the consumer in health care decision-making and
an aging population, among others. In addition, our growth is impacted by
changes within our sector, such as the merging of competitors to gain scale and
influence; changes in the regulatory environment for medical device; and
fluctuations in the global economy.
Our sales and profitability growth also depends, in part, on the introduction of
new and innovative products, together with ongoing enhancements to our existing
products. Expansions of our product offerings are created through internal and
external product development, technology licensing and strategic alliances. We
recognize the importance of, and intend to continue to make investments in
research and development activities and selective business development
opportunities to provide growth opportunities.

We sell our products in the United States primarily through a direct sales
force, and outside the U.S. through a combination of direct sales and
distributor relationships. Our end users include interventional radiologists,
interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, urologists, interventional and
surgical oncologists and critical care nurses. We expect our businesses to grow
in both sales and profitability by expanding geographically, penetrating new
markets, introducing new products and increasing our presence internationally.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted our business and may pose future
risks. Even with the public health actions that have been taken to reduce the
spread of the virus, there may continue to be disruptions with respect to
consumer demand, hospital operating procedures and workflow, our ability to
continue to manufacture products, the reliability of our supply chain and
inflation. Accordingly, management continues to evaluate the Company's liquidity
position, communicate with and monitor the actions of our customers and
suppliers, and review our near-term financial performance.
In evaluating the operating performance of our business, management focuses on
revenue, gross margin, operating income, earnings per share and cash flow from
operations. A summary of these key financial metrics for the three months ended
August 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020 are as
follows:

Three months ended August 31, 2021:



•Revenue increased by 9.6% to $77.0 million.
•Gross profit increased 120 bps to 52.1%.
•Net loss increased by $2.7 million to $7.0 million.
•Loss per share increased by $0.07 to a loss of $0.18

Our Med Tech business, comprised of Mechanical Thrombectomy, Auryon and
NanoKnife, experienced improved performance during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2022 as the number of procedures continued to improve from the COVID-19
impact in the first quarter of the prior year. In our Med Device business,
Vascular Access, excluding the large prior year order in the UK, also improved
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 compared to the prior year period. This
was partially offset by our Med Device Oncology products, which continued to
face pressure from reductions in procedure volumes due to challenges resulting
from the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 17 to
our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, net sales increased $6.8 million to
$77.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year.
The Med Tech business increased $7.1 million from the first quarter of the prior
year. This growth was driven by Auryon sales which grew $4.8 million compared to
the prior year. The AngioVac business grew $0.7 million as the Company generally
continued to see consistent case volumes in AngioVac despite continued COVID-19
challenges. Additionally, NanoKnife also had improved capital and disposable
sales which increased $1.0 and $0.7 million, respectively. NanoKnife capital
growth was in the U.S and Europe while the disposable growth was driven by U.S
sales.

The Med Device business net sales decreased $0.4 million from the prior year;
however, excluding the large prior year order in the UK, net sales increased
$4.8 million. This increase was driven by increased case volume compared to the
first quarter of the prior year which resulted in increased sales of Core,
Venous and BioSentry products of $2.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million,
respectively. Excluding the prior year order in the UK, Midlines, PICCs and
Ports increased $2.2 million, with $1.1 million of the increase driven by U.S
port sales. These increases were partially offset by decreased Microwave sales
of $0.4 million.

Gross profit - Gross profit consists of net sales less the cost of goods sold,
which includes the costs of materials, products purchased from third parties and
sold by us, manufacturing personnel, royalties, freight, business insurance,
depreciation of property and equipment and other manufacturing overhead,
exclusive of intangible amortization.

Gross profit increased by $4.4 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Sales volume positively impacted gross profit by $4.2 million year over year;
•Sales mix positively impacted gross profit by $0.7 million as a result of
increased sales of NanoKnife, Auryon and AngioVac;
•Increased Auryon start up costs related to placed units of $1.0 million
negatively impacted gross profit year over year; and
                                       23
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Contents
•Inflationary costs on raw materials, labor and freight had a negative impact of
$1.4 million year over year, partially offset by favorablility in production
volume and other initiatives of $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Research and development expense - Research and development ("R&D") expense
includes internal and external costs to develop new products, enhance existing
products, validate new and enhanced products, and manage clinical, regulatory
and medical affairs.

R&D expense decreased $1.6 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•R&D project expense decreased $1.0 million year over year primarily due to the
timing of certain projects; and
•Compensation and benefits expense decreased $0.4 million as a result of open
roles.

Sales and marketing expense - Sales and marketing ("S&M") expense consists primarily of salaries, commissions, travel and related business expenses, attendance at medical society meetings, product promotions and marketing activities.

S&M expense increased $6.7 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Compensation and benefits expense increased $4.3 million due to additional
headcount from the build-out of the Auryon sales and marketing teams; and
•Travel and other expenses increased $2.5 million as some COVID-19 restrictions
were lifted.

General and administrative expense - General and administrative ("G&A") expense
includes executive management, finance, information technology, human resources,
business development, legal, and the administrative and professional costs
associated with those activities.

G&A expense increased $0.4 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.9 million year over year
primarily due to increased headcount; and
•Outside consultant spend decreased $0.7 million, partially offsetting the
foregoing increase.

$ 309 $ (817)

Amortization of intangibles - Represents the amount of amortization expense that was taken on intangibles assets held by the Company.



•Amortization expense decreased $0.1 million from the prior year due to assets
that became fully amortized in fiscal year 2021 along with the write-off of the
OARtrac intangible asset in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. This was
partially offset by amortization relating to the Camaro intangible asset
addition of $3.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration - Represents changes in contingent consideration driven by changes to estimated future payments on earn-out liabilities created through acquisitions and amortization of present value discounts on long-term contingent consideration.

•The change in the fair value is related to the Eximo contingent consideration.

Acquisition, restructuring and other items, net - Represents costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, restructuring expenses, legal costs that are related to litigation that is not in the ordinary course of business, legal settlements and other one-time items.

Acquisition, restructuring and other items, net, increased by $1.1 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:

•Legal expense, related to litigation that is outside of the normal course of
business, of $2.1 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022
compared to $0.8 million in the prior year;
•In the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and as a result of the sale of the
Fluid Management business, the Company incurred $0.3 million of expense to move
manufacturing facilities and the Company received $0.4 million from Medline
Industries, Inc. as part of the TSA agreement. These activities were completed
during fiscal year 2021; and
•Other expenses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022
compared to $0.6 million in the prior year consisted mainly of severance
associated with organizational changes.

Other income (expense), net - Other expenses include interest expense, foreign currency impacts, bank fees, and amortization of deferred financing costs.

•The increase in other expense from the prior year of $0.8 million is primarily due to unrealized foreign currency losses of $0.9 million.

11.3 %





Our effective tax rate including discrete items for the three-month periods
ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 was 19.0% and 11.3%, respectively. In fiscal year
2022, the Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate
primarily due to the impact of the valuation allowance, foreign taxes, and other
non-deductible permanent items (such as non-deductible meals and entertainment,
Section 162(m) excess compensation and non-deductible share-based compensation).
The estimated annual effective tax rate, however, prior to discrete items was
10.6% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, as compared to 14.2% for the
same period in fiscal year 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We regularly review our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light
of the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic. We
believe that our current cash on hand and availability under our Revolving
Facility provide sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated needs for capital
for at least the next 12 months. We are closely monitoring receivables and
payables.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $35.5 million as of August 31, 2021,
compared with $48.2 million as of May 31, 2021. As of August 31, 2021 and
May 31, 2021, total debt outstanding related to the Revolving Facility was $25.0
million and $20.0 million, respectively. The fair value of contingent
consideration liability as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, was $15.9
million and $15.7 million, respectively.
