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 to our product offerings are created through internal
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 business development opportunities and feel confident
that our existing capital structure and free cash flow generation will allow us
to properly fund those activities.
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 through geographic expansion, market penetration, new product
introductions and increasing our direct presence internationally.
The COVID-19 global pandemic may pose significant risks to our business. It is
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 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,
                                       23

and reviewing our near-term financial performance as we manage the Company
through the uncertainty related to the coronavirus.
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 six
months ended November 30, 2020 compared to the three and six months ended
November 30, 2019 are as follows:

Three months ended November 30, 2020:



•Revenue increased by 4.0% to $72.8 million.
•Gross margin decreased 410 bps to 55.2%.
•Operating loss increased by $1.4 million to $4.8 million.
•Loss per share increased by $0.04 to a loss of $0.11.

Six months ended November 30, 2020:



•Revenue increased by 5.1% to $143.0 million.
•Gross margin decreased 550 bps to 53.1%.
•Operating loss increased by $5.7 million to $10.0 million.
•Loss per share increased by $0.11 to a loss of 0.22.
•Cash provided by operations increased by $6.6 million to $6.0 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 COVID-19 related procedure headwinds and a
challenging capital spending environment. We continued our commitment to
supporting and progressing our key growth initiatives (AngioVac, Auryon and
NanoKnife), managing operating expenses and managing our cash and balance sheet.

For the three months ended November 30, 2020, net sales increased $2.8 million
to $72.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year.
Vascular Interventions & Therapies

•Total Vascular Interventions & Therapies sales increased $2.8 million. Auryon,
which was acquired as part of the Eximo acquisition in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2020, contributed $2.1 million in sales. Additionally, the AngioVac
and Core businesses continued their strong performance and grew $1.2 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. During the quarter, the Company continued to see
strong case volumes in AngioVac, which increased 13% 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 sales increased $3.1 million due to
increased case volume in AngioVac, increased Core Peripheral product sales and
$2.1 million in sales of Auryon. These increases were partially offset by
decreased sales volume in Venous.
•International Vascular Interventions & Therapies sales decreased $0.3 million.

Vascular Access



•Total Vascular Access sales increased $1.1 million due to increased sales
across all product lines. BioFlo product lines comprise 49% of overall Vascular
Access sales compared to 52% a year ago.
•U.S. Vascular Access sales increased $1.6 million as a result of increased
sales across all product lines.
•International Vascular Access sales decreased by $0.5 million.

Oncology



•Total Oncology sales decreased $1.1 million year over year primarily due to
lower NanoKnife capital sales of $1.6 million, decreased RadioFrequency Ablation
sales of $0.4 million and decreased Balloon product sales of $0.3 million. This
was partially offset by increased NanoKnife disposable sales of $0.6 million,
Microwave disposable sales of $0.3 million and BioSentry sales of $0.4 million.
•U.S. Oncology sales increased by $0.5 million primarily due to increased
NanoKnife disposable sales of $0.7 million, BioSentry sales of $0.4 million and
Microwave disposable sales of $0.1 million. This was partially offset by
decreased NanoKnife capital sales of $0.4 million and Balloon product sales of
$0.3 million due to lower volumes.
•International Oncology sales decreased $1.6 million year over year as a result
of decreased RadioFrequency Ablation sales of $0.5 million and NanoKnife capital
and disposable sales of $1.2 million.

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.
This transformation enables the Company to move away from the mature,
lower-growth markets where we have competed in the past by carving out
significant space in 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 $1.4 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Sales volume positively impacted gross profit by $1.5 million year over year.
•Net productivity negatively impacted gross profit by $2.6 million primarily as
a result of under absorption of $1.2 million and increased start-up costs
related to the Auryon launch of $1.2 million. The under absorption in
manufacturing operations was due to the fact that the Company has maintained
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 $0.3 million as a result of decreased
NanoKnife capital sales. This was partially offset by increased AngioVac sales.

Research and development expenses - Research and development ("R&D") expenses
include 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 $1.9 million compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:



•Research and development expenses related to the AngioVac platform expansion,
the NanoKnife DIRECT© study and the Pathfinder study increased $1.8 million
along with $0.7 million of expenses related to Auryon.
•Outside consultant spend and other expenses decreased $0.5 million along with
decreased travel expenses of $0.2 million.

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

S&M expense increased $0.1 million compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:



•Travel expenses decreased $1.4 million due to less travel as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, tradeshow and other expenses decreased $1.3
million 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 $2.6 million and increased other expenses of
$0.2 million.

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

G&A expense decreased $1.8 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Legal expenses decreased $1.4 million.
•Travel expenses decreased $0.3 million due to less travel as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic.

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 $0.3 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 $1.2 million was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021
compared to $0.7 million in the prior year.
•There was no M&A expense incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021
compared to $0.4 million in the prior year.
•In the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company incurred $0.1 million of
expense to move manufacturing facilities as a result of the sale of the Fluid
Management business compared to $0.7 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 $0.3 million in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2021 compared to $0.6 million in the prior year.
•Other expenses of $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021
consists of severance associated with organizational changes, compared to $0.3
million in the prior year.

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 $0.5 million is primarily
due to increased interest expense of $0.1 million for the $40.0 million
outstanding on the Revolving Facility at the end of the second quarter of fiscal
year 2021 compared to no debt outstanding in the prior year along with decreased
interest income of $0.1 million. In addition, there was $0.2 million in
unrealized foreign exchange losses at the end of the second quarter of fiscal
year 2021.

Our effective tax rate including discrete items for the three month periods
ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 was 17.5% and 17.1%, 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
16.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, as compared to 13.2% for the
same period in fiscal year 2020.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended November 30, 2020 and 2019
For the six months ended November 30, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of
$8.5 million, or a loss of $0.22 per diluted share, on net sales of $143.0
million, compared with a net loss of $4.0 million, or a loss of $0.11 per
diluted share, on net sales of $136.0 million during the prior year.

For the six months ended November 30, 2020, net sales increased $6.9 million to $143.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Vascular Interventions & Therapies



•Total Vascular Interventions & Therapies sales increased $3.7 million. Auryon,
which was acquired as part of the Eximo acquisition in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2020, contributed $3.2 million in sales. Additionally, the AngioVac
and Core businesses continued their strong performance and grew $3.0 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. The Company continued to see strong case volumes in
AngioVac, which increased 26% 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 sales increased $4.4 million due to
increased case volume in AngioVac, increased Core Peripheral product sales and
$3.2 million in sales of Auryon. These increases were partially offset by
decreased sales volume in Venous.
•International Vascular Interventions & Therapies sales decreased $0.7 million.

Vascular Access



•Total Vascular Access sales increased $6.1 million due to increased sales of
PICCs and Midlines of $3.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These
increases are 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. BioFlo product lines comprise 54% of overall
Vascular Access sales compared to 51% a year ago.
•U.S. Vascular Access sales increased $1.5 million primarily due to increased
Midline and PICC sales of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
•International Vascular Access sales increased by $4.6 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 $0.8 million.

Oncology

•Total Oncology sales decreased $2.8 million year over year primarily due to
lower NanoKnife capital sales of $2.4 million, decreased RadioFrequency Ablation
sales of $1.0 million and decreased Balloon product sales of $0.9 million. This
was partially offset by increased Microwave disposable sales of $0.7 million,
NanoKnife disposable sales of $0.5 million and BioSentry sales of $0.8 million.
•U.S. Oncology sales increased by $0.4 million primarily due to increased
NanoKnife disposable sales of $0.8 million, BioSentry sales of $0.8 million and
Microwave disposable sales of $0.5 million. This was partially offset by
decreased NanoKnife capital sales of $0.5 million and Balloon product sales of
$0.9 million.
•International Oncology sales decreased $3.2 million year over year as a result
of decreased RadioFrequency Ablation sales of $1.2 million and NanoKnife capital
and disposable sales of $2.1 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 $3.8 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Sales volume positively impacted gross profit by $4.5 million year over year.
•Net productivity negatively impacted gross profit by $5.5 million primarily as
a result of under absorption of $3.7 million and start-up costs related to the
Auryon launch of $1.8 million. The under absorption in manufacturing operations
was due to the fact that the Company has maintained 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 $1.7 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.

Research and development expenses - Research and development ("R&D") expenses
include 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 $4.7 million compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the following:



•Research and development expenses related to the AngioVac platform expansion,
the NanoKnife DIRECT© study and the Pathfinder study increased $3.4 million
along with $2.0 million of expenses related to Auryon.
•Outside consultant spend and other expenses decreased $0.5 million along with
decreased travel expenses of $0.2 million.

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

S&M expense decreased $1.6 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:



•Travel expenses decreased $2.8 million due to less travel as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, tradeshow and other expenses decreased $3.1
million due to the cancellation of events.
•Compensation and benefits decreased approximately $0.4 million which is
primarily the result of open roles.
•Expenses related to the build-out of the Auryon sales and marketing teams to
prepare for full product launch of $4.7 million.

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

G&A expense decreased $1.7 million compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:

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



•Amortization expense increased $1.1 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 $2.4 million.

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 $0.5 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 $2.0 million was recorded in fiscal year 2021 compared to $1.4
million in the prior year.
•There was no M&A expense incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021
compared to $0.6 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 $1.5 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 $0.7 million in fiscal year 2021
compared to $1.3 million in the prior year.
•Other expenses of $0.8 million in consists of severance associated with
organizational changes, compared to $0.8 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 $0.4 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 $0.2
million for the $40.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility at the end
of the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to no debt outstanding in the
prior year. In addition, interest income decreased by $0.3 million.

14.5 %





Our effective tax rate including discrete items for the six month periods ended
November 30, 2020 and 2019 was 14.5% and 14.5%, 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
16.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, as compared to 13.2% 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 credit 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. In addition, we believe that our
recently increased inventory levels provide additional risk mitigation in the
event we incur a manufacturing disruption.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $58.0 million as of November 30, 2020,
compared with $54.4 million as of May 31, 2020. As of November 30, 2020 and
May 31, 2020, total debt outstanding related to the Revolving Facility was $40.0
million. The fair value of contingent consideration liability as of November 30,
2020 and May 31, 2020, was $15.2 million and $15.6 million, respectively.
