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. 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 may pose significant risks to our business. It
remains too early to quantify the impact this situation will have on fiscal year
2021 or beyond, but the public health actions being undertaken to reduce spread
of the virus, and continued spikes in cases experienced in various regions in
which we conduct business are causing and may continue to cause significant
disruptions with respect to consumer demand, hospital operating procedures and
workflow, our ability to

continue to manufacture products and the reliability of our supply chain.
Accordingly, management is evaluating the Company's liquidity position,
communicating with and monitoring the actions of our customers and suppliers,
and reviewing our near-term financial performance as we manage the Company
through the uncertainty related to the novel coronavirus.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, a benefit of $1.9 million was recorded
as a result of the employee retention credit that the Company filed for under
the provisions of the CARES Act.
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 and nine
months ended February 28, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended
February 29, 2020 are as follows:

Three months ended February 28, 2021:



•Revenue increased by 2.0% to $71.2 million.
•Gross margin decreased 370 bps to 54.1%.
•Operating loss decreased by $2.5 million to $3.7 million.
•Loss per share decreased by $0.06 to a loss of $0.09.

Nine months ended February 28, 2021:



•Revenue increased by 4.1% to $214.2 million.
•Gross margin decreased 490 bps to 53.4%.
•Operating loss increased by $3.2 million to $13.7 million.
•Loss per share increased by $0.06 to a loss of $0.32.
•Cash provided by operations increased by $30.3 million to $11.9 million.
The ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has had a varying impact on each
of our three businesses. Our Vascular Interventions & Therapies and Vascular
Access businesses performed the strongest of the businesses during the quarter.
The number of procedures improved from the COVID-19 lows in the second half of
last fiscal year, but remain below pre-COVID-19 levels. Our Oncology business
continued to face pressure from reductions in procedure volumes due to
challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting challenging
capital spending environment. We continued supporting and progressing our key
growth initiatives (AngioVac, Auryon and NanoKnife), managing operating expenses
and managing our cash and balance sheet.
New Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 17 to

million, compared with a net loss of $5.7 million, or a loss of $0.15 per
diluted share, on net sales of $69.8 million during the same quarter of the
prior year.

For the three months ended February 28, 2021, net sales increased $1.4 million to $71.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Vascular Interventions & Therapies



•Total Vascular Interventions & Therapies net sales increased $2.7 million, or
8.8%. Auryon, which was acquired as part of the Eximo acquisition in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2020, contributed $3.3 million in sales. Additionally,
the AngioVac business grew $1.3 million as the Company continued to see
increased case volumes in AngioVac, which increased 38% from the prior year.
These increases were partially offset by lower volume in Venous products due to
fewer elective procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic and decreased volume in
the Core business.
•U.S. Vascular Interventions & Therapies net sales increased $2.7 million due to
increased case volume in AngioVac and $3.3 million in sales of Auryon, which
were the primary contributors to the 10.2% growth in sales in the U.S. These
increases were partially offset by decreased sales volume in Venous and the Core
business.
•International Vascular Interventions & Therapies sales remained consistent with
the prior year.

Vascular Access

•Total Vascular Access net sales increased $0.2 million due to increased sales
in Midlines. BioFlo product lines comprise 50% of overall Vascular Access sales
compared to 51% a year ago.
•U.S. Vascular Access net sales increased $1.0 million as a result of increased
sales of Midlines, PICCs and dialysis.
•International Vascular Access net sales decreased by $0.8 million.

Oncology



•Total Oncology net sales decreased $1.5 million year over year primarily due to
a large NanoKnife distributor order in the Asia Pacific region ("APAC") in the
prior year.
•While U.S. Oncology net sales increased across the majority of product lines,
this was offset by Balloon product sales which decreased $0.3 million due to
lower volumes.

The Company has discussed the ongoing transformation from a company with a broad
portfolio of largely undifferentiated products to a more focused medical
technology company that delivers unique and innovative health care solutions.
The Company believes that this transformation will enable the Company to shift
the portfolio from the mature, lower-growth markets where we have competed in
the past by investing in technology and products that provide access to larger
and faster growing markets. As such, the growth in the near to mid-term will be
driven by our high technology platforms including AngioVac, Auryon and
NanoKnife.

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 decreased by $1.8 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Sales volume positively impacted gross profit by $0.8 million year over year.
•Net productivity negatively impacted gross profit by $2.9 million primarily as
a result of under absorption of $1.5 million and increased start-up costs of
$1.4 million related to the Auryon launch. The under absorption in manufacturing
operations was due to the Company maintaining staffing levels during the
COVID-19 global pandemic to mitigate risk, along with a focus on working capital
management through inventory reduction.
•Mix negatively impacted gross margin by $0.4 million as a result of decreased
NanoKnife capital sales. This was partially offset by increased AngioVac sales.
•A benefit of $0.7 million was recorded as a result of the employee retention
credit that the Company filed for under the provisions of the CARES Act in the
third quarter of the current year.

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 increased $0.2 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•R&D expenses related to the AngioVac platform expansion, the NanoKnife DIRECT©
study and the Pathfinder study increased $1.2 million. This was partially offset
by decreased expenses of $0.2 million related to Auryon.
•Outside consultant expense and other expenses decreased $0.3 million along with
decreased travel expenses of $0.2 million.
•A benefit of $0.3 million was recorded as a result of the employee retention
credit that the Company filed for under the provisions of the CARES Act in the
third quarter of the current year.

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 decreased $1.3 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Travel expenses decreased $1.2 million due to less travel as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, tradeshow and other expenses decreased $1.1
million primarily due to the cancellation of events.
•Expenses related to the build-out of the Auryon sales and marketing teams to
prepare for full product launch of $2.0 million.
•A benefit of $0.9 million was recorded as a result of the employee retention
credit that the Company filed for under the provisions of the CARES Act in the
third quarter of the current year.

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

•Amortization expense decreased $0.7 million from the prior year due to assets that became fully amortized in fiscal year 2021.

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 of the contingent consideration is the normal amortization of the present value of 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, decreased by $1.0 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Legal expense, related to litigation that is outside of the normal course of
business, of $1.0 million was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021
compared to $0.6 million in the prior year.
•There was no M&A expense incurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021
compared to $0.2 million in the prior year.
•In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company incurred $0.8 million of
expense to move manufacturing facilities as a result of the sale of the Fluid
Management business.
•As part of the sale of the Fluid Management business, the Company entered into
a transition services agreement with Medline Industries, Inc. ("Medline") for
certain legal, human resource, tax, accounting and information technology
services from the Company for a period not to exceed 24 months. As a result of
the transition services agreement, the Company invoiced Medline $0.3 million in
the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to $0.4 million in the prior
year.
•Other expenses of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020
consisted 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 $0.1 million is primarily
due to increased interest expense of $0.1 million for the $30.0 million
outstanding on the Revolving Facility at the end of the third quarter of fiscal
year 2021 compared to $15.0 million outstanding in the prior year.

Our effective tax rate including discrete items for the three-month periods
ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 was 14.1% and 12.6%, respectively.
In fiscal year 2021, 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
15.6% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, as compared to 12.9% for the
same period in fiscal year 2020.

the AngioVac business grew $4.3 million as the Company continued to experience
increases in case volumes in AngioVac, which increased 30% from the prior year.
These increases were partially offset by lower volume in Venous products due to
fewer elective procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
•U.S. Vascular Interventions & Therapies net sales increased $7.1 million due to

  Table of Contents
Vascular Access

•Total Vascular Access net sales increased $6.3 million due to increased sales
of PICCs, Midlines and Dialysis of $3.4 million, $3.1 million and $0.3 million,
respectively. These increases are partially the result of a large order in the
United Kingdom related to the COVID-19 pandemic for $5.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2021 along with the distribution agreement with MedComp.
These increases were offset by decreased sales in Ports, which declined by 1%.
BioFlo product lines comprise 53% of overall Vascular Access sales compared to
51% in the prior year.
•U.S. Vascular Access net sales increased $2.5 million primarily due to
increased PICCs, Midlines and Dialysis sales of $1.1 million, $1.1 million and
$0.4 million, respectively.
•International Vascular Access net sales increased by $3.8 million primarily as
a result of a large order in the United Kingdom related to the COVID-19 pandemic
for $5.2 million. This was partially offset by decreased PICC sales in Latin
America of $1.3 million.

Oncology

•Total Oncology net sales decreased $4.3 million year over year. Of this
decrease, $2.1 million is due to a large NanoKnife distributor order in APAC in
the prior year. There was also decreased capital and disposable sales
internationally of $2.5 million due to reduced case volumes as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
•U.S. Oncology net sales increased by $0.4 million primarily due to increased
NanoKnife disposable sales of $0.9 million, BioSentry sales of $1.0 million and
Microwave disposable sales of $0.7 million. This was partially offset by
decreased NanoKnife capital sales of $0.5 million and Balloon product sales of
$1.2 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 decreased by $5.6 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Sales volume positively impacted gross profit by $5.4 million year over year.
•Net productivity negatively impacted gross profit by $8.9 million primarily as
a result of under absorption of $6.1 million and start-up costs of $2.8 million
related to the Auryon launch. The under absorption in manufacturing operations
was due to the Company maintaining staffing levels during the COVID-19 global
pandemic to mitigate risk, along with a focus on working capital management
through inventory reduction.
•Mix negatively impacted gross margin by $1.1 million as a result of the large
order in the United Kingdom for lower gross margin products and decreased
NanoKnife capital sales. This was partially offset by increased AngioVac sales.
•A reserve for recalled products of $0.5 million and amortization of prior year
capitalized variances of $0.4 million negatively impacted gross margin.
•A benefit of $0.7 million was recorded as a result of the employee retention
credit that the Company filed for under the provisions of the CARES Act in the
third quarter of the current year.

Research and development expense - 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.

Sales and marketing expense - 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 decreased $2.9 million compared to the prior year. The change is primarily attributable to the following:



•Travel expenses decreased $4.0 million due to less travel as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, tradeshow and other expenses decreased $4.3
million primarily due to the cancellation of events.
•Compensation and benefits decrease of $0.7 million due to open roles.

finance, information technology, human resources, business development, legal,
and the administrative and professional costs associated with those activities.

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



•Amortization expense increased $0.4 million compared to the prior year as a
result of the Eximo Medical and C3 Wave tip location acquisitions, which
increased intangible assets by $60.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively.
These additions resulted in additional amortization expense of $1.8 million.
These additions were partially offset by assets that became fully amortized
during fiscal year 2021.

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 from the prior year is due to a decision to no longer pursue the
final RadiaDyne technical milestone, which resulted in a reduction in the
liability of $0.8 million. This reduction in the fair value was offset by normal
amortization of the present value of the Eximo contingent consideration recorded
in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.

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 decreased by $1.4 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Legal expense, related to litigation that is outside of the normal course of
business, of $2.9 million was recorded in fiscal year 2021 compared to $2.0
million in the prior year.
•There was no M&A expense incurred in fiscal year 2021 compared to $0.8 million
in the prior year.
•In fiscal year 2021, the Company incurred $0.4 million of expense to move
manufacturing facilities as a result of the sale of the Fluid Management
business compared to $2.2 million in the prior year.
•As part of the sale of the Fluid Management business, the Company entered into
a transition services agreement with Medline for certain legal, human resource,
tax, accounting and information technology services from the Company for a
period not to exceed 24 months. As a result of the transition services
agreement, the Company invoiced Medline $1.0 million in fiscal year 2021
compared to $1.7 million in the prior year.
•Other expenses of $0.7 million consists of severance associated with
organizational changes, compared to $1.2 million in the prior year.

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



•The decrease in other expense from the prior year of $0.3 million is primarily
due to foreign currency unrealized gains of $0.5 million and the prior year
write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the old Credit Facility of
$0.6 million. This was partially offset by increased interest expense of $0.3
million for the $30.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility at the end
of the third quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to $15.0 million outstanding
in the prior year. In addition, interest income decreased by $0.3 million.

Effective tax rate including discrete items             14.4  %           

13.4 %





Our effective tax rate including discrete items for the nine-month periods ended
February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 was 14.4% and 13.4%, respectively. In
fiscal year 2021, 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
15.6% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, as compared to 12.9% for the
same period in fiscal year 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are continuously and critically reviewing 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 $54.5 million as of February 28, 2021,
compared with $54.4 million as of May 31, 2020. As of February 28, 2021 and
May 31, 2020, total debt outstanding related to the Revolving Facility was $30.0
million and $40.0 million, respectively. The fair value of contingent
consideration liability as of February 28, 2021 and May 31, 2020, was $15.4
million and $15.6 million, respectively.
