Speaker #4: Hi , Frank , Yeah . this is Steve . I'll take the gross margin question . So you're right . We were very pleased with the performance that we've seen on gross margin , particularly in the first half .

Speaker #4: And as we mentioned, there's a couple dynamics that are driving that. We're seeing positive price in both our MedTech and med device businesses.

Speaker #4: And we're seeing a benefit of the production related to us getting ready to do the move of some of those materials down to Costa Rica.

Speaker #4: Increased price, along with the mix shift to Med Tech and then some of those production volumes, are what we're seeing as a nice positive for gross margin in the first half.

Frank Takkinen: Great. Thank you for taking the questions, Jim. Congratulations on the retirement. Wishing you all the best in that new chapter. I was hoping to start with a question around gross margin.

Speaker #4: In the back half of the year , the price that we took is still going to continue to stay there . That mix shift will continue , but we're going to bit of a have a little under absorption as we move some of those final products out of Queensbury , and having them being produced by our third party manufacturing partner down in Costa Rica , you know , as we talked about this plan originally , we knew that there was going to be some of that structural under absorption .

Operator: It feels like that really outperformed nicely in the quarter and obviously saw the guidance stay unchanged. And I think I heard a comment around staying relatively stable, which would imply gross margin actually doing a little bit better than where the consensus is at right now for the year. Any comments around kind of gross margin expectations and why we shouldn't see that kind of mid-50% gross margin stay throughout the end of the year and into the following years? Yeah. Hi, Frank. This is Steve. I'll take the gross margin question. So you're right. We were very pleased with the performance that we've seen on gross margin, particularly in the first half. And as we mentioned, there's a couple of dynamics that are driving that.

It feels like that really outperformed nicely in the quarter and obviously saw the guidance stay unchanged.

Any comments around kind of gross margin expectations and why we shouldn't see that kind of mid-50% gross margin stay throughout the end of the year and into the following years?

Speaker #4: mentioned And we had that that would be somewhat offset by taking costs out . And that has been the overall plan , as we take some costs out of indirect labor .

Speaker #4: The good thing that our team has done is we've accelerated some of those costs coming out of the plant. So you're seeing that in the first half of the year.

Steve Trowbridge: Yeah. Hi, Frank. This is Steve. I'll take the gross margin question. So you're right. We were very pleased with the performance that we've seen on gross margin, particularly in the first half. And as we mentioned, there's a couple of dynamics that are driving that.

Speaker #4: So really , the dynamic going into the second half is some of those products . Now finalizing their move . According with our plans , you'll see some of that structural under absorption .

Operator: We're seeing positive price in both our med tech and our med device businesses, and we're seeing a benefit of the production related to us getting ready to do the move of some of those materials down to Costa Rica. So increased price, along with the mix shift to med tech, and then some of those production volumes are what we're seeing as a nice positive for gross margin in the first half. In the back half of the year, the price that we took is still going to continue to stay there, and that mix shift will continue, but we're going to have a little bit of a structural underabsorption as we move some of those final products out of Queensbury and having them being produced by our third-party manufacturing partner down in Costa Rica.

Speaker #4: You won't have the offsetting cost cuts . But that's because those costs have already come out . So that's really the dynamic and the between the first and the second half .

Speaker #5: Got it . Okay . That's helpful . And then maybe just my second for mechanical bit more talk a little about thrombectomy . I heard the comments around angiovac a more challenging year over year comp , but was curious if there's anything else going on in that business .

Speaker #5: We were hoping it would be a little bit stronger growth, but understand it was off a pretty tough comp. And then, maybe as a second part to that, if you could talk about kind of APEX return and some of the other work in right heart and what that might do to the growth profile of that line item over time.

Speaker #3: Yeah . Thanks for the question . Really , really pleased with the performance of Alpha VAC and PE as we're gaining new cases , new doctors and getting awarded kind of status in the hospital through VAC committees , getting , you know , quote unquote on the shelf in new accounts , the performance of inventory , in VAC is terrific .

Operator: As we talked about this plan originally, we knew that there was going to be some of that structural underabsorption, and we had mentioned that that would be somewhat offset by taking costs out. And that has been the overall plan as we take some costs out of indirect labor. The good thing that our team has done is we've accelerated some of those costs coming out of the plant. So you're seeing that in the first half of the year. So really, the dynamic going into the second half is some of those products now finalizing their move according with our plans. You'll see some of that structural underabsorption. You won't have the offsetting cost cuts, but that's because those costs have already come out. So that's really the dynamic and the difference between the first and the second half. Got it. Okay. That's helpful.

You'll see some of that structural underabsorption. You won't have the offsetting cost cuts, but that's because those costs have already come out. So that's really the dynamic and the difference between the first and the second half.

Speaker #3: We see pictures every day, hear stories of new physicians using it because of the unique design elements that we innovatively put into the product.

Speaker #3: So, really excited about that. Continued growth at a strong level for a long time to come. AngioVac will be fine. If you look back a year ago, we had a really strong Q2, went down in revenue in Q3, and back up in Q4.

Speaker #3: There are cycles that just happen sometimes, so we're pleased. And you saw, I think we're up 11% in AngioVac in the first six months of the year.

Frank Takkinen: Got it. Okay. That's helpful.

Operator: And then maybe just for my second one, was hoping to talk a little bit more about mechanical thrombectomy. Heard the comments around AngioVac had a more challenging year-over-year comp, but was curious if there's anything else going on in that business. We were hoping it would be a little bit stronger growth, but understand it was off a pretty tough comp. And then maybe as a second part to that, if you could talk about kind of APEX-Return and some of the other work in right heart and what that might do to the growth profile of that line item over time. Yeah, Frank, thanks for the question. Really, really pleased with the performance of AlphaVac and PE as we're gaining new cases, new doctors, and getting awarded kind of status in the hospital through VAC committees, getting on the shelf in inventory in new accounts.

Speaker #3: we're really pleased with So the platform . It will be one of our key growth categories for a long time to come . We have two amazing products that work really well and that place , and it'll drive growth .

Speaker #3: And then, Steve, as far as—yeah.

Speaker #4: And then Frank , to follow up on the question on Alpha return , you know , as we've always said , we've got the best product on the market .

Speaker #4: We're very confident in that. We think when we take the AlphaVac product, we get that into the hands of physicians consistently.

Speaker #4: The we're getting feedback that is that it gives them what they need , and it's the best product that's out there . As we've talked about a hurdle to adoption in some areas because of of the way that the market has been conditioned has been the ability to then return the Blood Alpha back is designed upfront to limit blood loss and mitigate that .

Jim Clemmer: Yeah, Frank, thanks for the question. Really, really pleased with the performance of AlphaVac and PE as we're gaining new cases, new doctors, and getting awarded kind of status in the hospital through VAC committees, getting on the shelf in inventory in new accounts.

Speaker #4: But there's no doubt that the market is looking for an opportunity to return that blood in certain scenarios. And so we think that the Alpha Return product is really important for us to get over some of those initial humps, to have the past VAC if people choose, if they've been used to using competitive products.

Operator: The performance of AlphaVac is terrific. We see pictures every day, hear stories of new physicians using it because of the unique design elements that we innovatively put into the product. So really excited about that continued growth at a strong level for a long time to come. AngioVac will be fine. If you look back a year ago, we had a really strong Q2, and revenue went down in Q3 and back in Q4. There's cycles that just happen sometimes, so we're pleased.

We have two amazing products that work really well in that place and will drive growth. And then Steve, as far as. Yeah.

Speaker #4: We're really so excited about it. We've talked about the conversations we've been having with the FDA for a while. We were very pleased to get this over the finish line.

Speaker #4: We're excited about the IDE study , starting it and then getting this into the bag of our of our sales force , really as a way to take away an objection .

Speaker #4: And we expect it to be a catalyst to the accelerating growth in the future.

Speaker #5: Helpful. Thanks. Got it. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker #5: .

Speaker #4: Thank you . .

Speaker #4: Frank

Steve Trowbridge: Yeah.

Speaker #6: Thanks . Great . Good morning and thanks for taking my questions . Just first , Jim know , I know You , congratulations ten years is a long time and it's you know , it's a lot of work that you've accomplished and some great outcomes .

Speaker #6: So, my hat's off to you, and you'll definitely be missed in terms of my questions. I want to start with prostate.

Speaker #6: I know you're only a few days in talk . Just change to the about the level one CPT code . How many insurers have really made that back end change to reflect the coding to change prevent the automatic denials ?

Operator: So we think that the AlphaReturn product is really important for us to get over some of those initial humps to have people choose AlphaVac if maybe in the past they've been used to using competitive products.

Speaker #6: So far by your estimation ? And then I noticed capital strong really were was I mean that the saw , disposables a good .

Speaker #6: They were very strong. But it seems like capital was even stronger. And I'm curious, is buying that the case for prostate?

Speaker #6: is, you know, precursor to the systems to get ready to do procedures.

Frank Takkinen: Got it. That's helpful. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker #4: Bill , thanks for the question . Yeah . This is Hey , Steve and we want to congratulate Jim too . Although he's not going anywhere right away .

Steve Trowbridge: Thank you, Frank.

Operator: Thank you. The next questions are from the line of Bill Plovanic with Canaccord Genuity. Please proceed with your questions.

Speaker #4: So he's going to be with us for a while . So we're we're happy about that . And it'll be time to , to talk about everything that he's done .

Speaker #4: your On question on prostate , we're just a few days into it , so we don't have an estimate for changes that you were talking about , but it's for the something that our team is absolutely keyed in on .

Bill Plovanic: Great. Thanks.

Operator: Good morning, and thanks for taking my questions. Just first, Jim, congratulations. I know 10 years is a long time, and it's a lot of work that you've accomplished and some great outcomes. So hats off to you, and you'll definitely be missed. In terms of my questions, I want to start with prostate. I know you're only a few days in. Just talk about the change to the level one CPT code. How many insurers have really made that backend change to reflect the coding change to prevent the automatic denials so far by your estimation? And then I noticed that the capital was a really strong quarter. I mean, disposables were good. They saw a very strong, but it seems like capital was even stronger. And I'm curious, is that a precursor to the prostate as they're buying the systems to get ready to do procedures? Yeah.

Speaker #4: We're going to continue to watch and monitor. We think that this is going to be a catalyst for us, particularly on the Medicare side.

Speaker #4: that's something that we're going to stay stay close So to . And watch . But we're pleased now with , you know , over the last year , we've been talking about the code going into effect .

Speaker #4: So, the turn of the calendar was a good move for us, and we're excited about that. On capital, there are two dynamics.

Speaker #4: Was strong. There was capital, also the capital sales that we talked about in the distribution channel move in France, that added some additional NanoKnife capital.

Speaker #4: But on top of that , we were still pretty pleased with the capital sales that we So as saw . we've mentioned , capital sales are mostly going to be in the international markets here in the US .

Speaker #4: It's going to be a lot of different mixture models to make sure that we get capital into the hands of our physicians. That could be through placement models, it could be through sales.

Speaker #4: I think the arbiter that we're looking at are those sales. And so we were really pleased with the nice increase in sales.

Steve Trowbridge: Yeah.

Operator: Hey, Bill. Thanks for the question. This is Steve. And we want to congratulate Jim, too, although he's not going anywhere right away. So he's going to be with us for a while. So we're happy about that, and we'll take time to talk about everything that he's done. On your question on prostate, we're just a few days into it, so we don't have an estimate for the changes that you were talking about, but it's something that our team is absolutely keyed in on, and we're going to continue to watch and monitor. We think that this is going to be a catalyst for us, particularly on the Medicare side. So it's something that we're going to stay close to and watch. But we're pleased. Now, over the last year, we've been talking about the code going into effect.

Now, over the last year, we've been talking about the code going into effect.

Speaker #4: And it's all coming from increased awareness and enthusiasm on the part of urologists. And it's really prostate that's driving the NanoKnife results that we've seen so far.

Speaker #7: And .

Speaker #6: Then just on EBITDA , you mentioned that , you know , the back half would be , I think , lower than the first half .

Speaker #6: And just directionally, how do we think of adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter? Is it going to be negative? And thanks for taking my questions.

Operator: So the turn of the calendar was a good move for us, and we're excited about that. On capital, there are two dynamics. Capital was strong. There was also the capital sales that we talked about in the distribution channel move in France that added some additional NanoKnife capital. But on top of that, we're still pretty pleased with the capital sales that we saw. So as we've mentioned, capital sales are mostly going to be in the international markets. Here in the US, it's going to be a mixture of different models to make sure that we get capital into the hands of our physicians. That could be through placement models. It could be through sales. I think the arbiter that we're looking at are those probe sales. And so we were really pleased with the nice increase in probe sales.

Speaker #4: Yeah , thanks , Bill . So so on EBITDA , we just wanted to make sure , you know , we were very pleased with the performance that we've seen here in the first half in EBITDA .

Speaker #4: We think it does prove out that the model can generate positive EBITDA, can generate cash, as well as driving the top line.

Speaker #4: So excited to keep that also talked continuing. We've talked about wanting to balance that with investments that are necessary to continue to drive the top-line growth in those medtech businesses.

Speaker #4: And so we've talked about investments into feet on the street in terms of the sales force, as well as some of those R&D investments that Jim mentioned with his prepared remarks today for some of the nice trials that are coming up.

Speaker #4: So some of that's going to come into the back half. We don't expect negative in the third quarter, maybe just not as robust as what we saw in the first half.

Operator: It's all coming from increased awareness and enthusiasm on the part of urologists. It's really prostate that's driving the NanoKnife results that we've seen so far. Then just on EBITDA, you mentioned that the back half would be, I think, lower than the first half. Just directionally, how do we think of Adjusted EBITDA in Q3? Is it going to be negative? Thanks for taking my questions. Yeah. Thanks, Bill. On EBITDA, we just wanted to make sure we were very pleased with the performance that we've seen here in H1 in EBITDA. We think it does prove out that the model can generate positive EBITDA, can generate cash as well as driving the top line. We're excited to keep that continuing.

It's all coming from increased awareness and enthusiasm on the part of urologists. It's really prostate that's driving the NanoKnife results that we've seen so far.

Speaker #2: Thank you. The next question is in the line of Eduardo Martinez with H.C. Wainwright. Please see with your questions.

Bill Plovanic: Then just on EBITDA, you mentioned that the back half would be, I think, lower than the first half. Just directionally, how do we think of Adjusted EBITDA in Q3? Is it going to be negative? Thanks for taking my questions.

Speaker #7: Hi . This is Eduardo on for you . Congrats on the quarter . I had a few questions on Arion . You mentioned the CE mark , and I'm just curious what your expectations are for international sales .

Speaker #7: If there are any specific regions you guys are going to target, and if that would be associated with any increased sales spend.

Steve Trowbridge: Yeah. Thanks, Bill. On EBITDA, we just wanted to make sure we were very pleased with the performance that we've seen here in H1 in EBITDA. We think it does prove out that the model can generate positive EBITDA, can generate cash as well as driving the top line. We're excited to keep that continuing.

Speaker #7: And also quantify the opportunity and your expectations for this year.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Eduardo. Good question. We're really pleased with the fact that our team got the CE mark, and then our Orion commercial and clinical teams have really done a great job driving awareness outside of the US.

Operator: We've also talked about wanting to balance that with investments that are necessary to continue to drive the top line growth in those Med Tech businesses. So we've talked about investments into feet on the street in terms of the sales force, as well as some of those R&D investments that Jim mentioned with his prepared remarks today for some of the nice trials that are coming up. Some of that's going to come into the back half. We don't expect negative in Q3. Maybe just not as robust as what we saw in H1. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Eduardo Martinez with H.C. Wainwright. Please proceed with your questions. Hi. This is Eduardo for you. Congrats on the quarter. I had a few questions on Auryon.

We've also talked about wanting to balance that with investments that are necessary to continue to drive the top line growth in those Med Tech businesses. So we've talked about investments into feet on the street in terms of the sales force, as well as some of those R&D investments that Jim mentioned with his prepared remarks today for some of the nice trials that are coming up. Some of that's going to come into the back half. We don't expect negative in Q3. Maybe just not as robust as what we saw in H1.

Speaker #3: You know, atherectomy isn't chosen at the same rate in the US to treat PAD as it is here, but we've used a series of clinical forms and educational programs that our team has driven outside of the US to really give people confidence in Arion as a platform, the how, science. And it's important for us, works.

Speaker #3: Because once people see how the science works, how safe and effective the product is treating that artery in above or knee, it's below the flexible and safe.

Operator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Eduardo Martinez with H.C. Wainwright. Please proceed with your questions.

Speaker #3: So it doesn't take a lot of hands-on user training by us, so we're able to use our really good distributor network to support growth and support customers during the use of the product.

Eduardo Martinez-Montes: Hi. This is Eduardo for you. Congrats on the quarter. I had a few questions on Auryon.

Speaker #3: So we've not identified or targeted yet a size of the market that we think we'll capture, but we're really pleased with the—the.

Operator: You mentioned the CE mark, and I'm just curious what your expectations are for international sales, if there are any specific regions you guys are going to target, and if that would be associated with any increased sales spend, and also if you could quantify the opportunity there and your expectations for this year. Thanks, Eduardo. A good question. We're really pleased with the fact that our team got the CE mark for Auryon, and then our commercial and clinical teams have really done a great job driving awareness outside of the US. Atherectomy isn't chosen at the same rate outside the US to treat PAD as it is here. But we've used a series of clinical forums, and educational programs that our team has driven outside of the US to really give people confidence in Auryon as a platform, how the science works.

Speaker #3: Uptake already in people getting new . Our own systems , buying the disposables , treating patients with Pad and having really good you'll see our So over results .

Speaker #3: International sales creep up as this larger percentage of our overall Orien sales.

Jim Clemmer: Thanks, Eduardo. A good question. We're really pleased with the fact that our team got the CE mark for Auryon, and then our commercial and clinical teams have really done a great job driving awareness outside of the US. Atherectomy isn't chosen at the same rate outside the US to treat PAD as it is here. But we've used a series of clinical forums, and educational programs that our team has driven outside of the US to really give people confidence in Auryon as a platform, how the science works.

Speaker #7: really helpful . And also Got it . That's on Orion , you mentioned expansion into coronary coronary applications . I'm just curious if you had a timeline for that .

Speaker #7: Also, any increased spend, if that's something we can expect in the R&D line item this year, in 2026.

Speaker #4: I wouldn't expect a significant amount of spend in the R&D line item this year. We talk as about coronary. Clearly, it's a strategic imperative of ours to take the product and move into the coronary space.

Speaker #4: It's a little bit of a longer term initiative . As we talked about , it's probably a PMA trial . So , you know , we gave some highlights in the past of the ability to take our current platform technologies and through clinical and regulatory pathway expansion , move into additional Tams .

Operator: It's important for us because once people see how the science works, how safe and effective the product is in treating that artery, above or below the knee, flexible and safe, so it doesn't take a lot of hands-on user training by us. We're able to use our really good distributor network to support growth, support customers during the use of the product. We've not identified or targeted yet a size of the market that we think will capture, but we're really pleased with the uptake already in people getting new Auryon systems, buying the disposables, treating patients with PAD, and having really good results. Over time, you'll see our international sales creep up as a larger percentage of our overall Auryon sales. Got it. That's really helpful. Also on Auryon, you mentioned expansion into coronary applications.

Speaker #4: A very good example of that is Orion moving into the coronary space. But it's not something that's going to be impactful in terms of, in this, the spend year.

Speaker #7: Got it. Thanks so much for taking the questions, and congrats again on the quarter.

Speaker #8: you Thank .

Speaker #2: Thank you. At this time, I'll hand the call back to Mr. James Clemmer for closing remarks.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Rob. Rob, I'd like to thank all of our employees here at AngioDynamics who've made these great results possible by their commitment and dedication to our customers and our products.

Eduardo Martinez-Montes: Got it. That's really helpful. Also on Auryon, you mentioned expansion into coronary applications.

Speaker #3: So, we've changed this company by its portfolio. You've seen us become active portfolio managers to make sure our company's positioned in the right places, at the right time, with the right products for future growth.

Operator: I'm just curious if you had a timeline for that and also any increased spend, if that's something we can expect in the R&D line item this year in 2026. I wouldn't expect a significant amount of spend in the R&D line item this year as we talk about coronary.

I'm just curious if you had a timeline for that and also any increased spend, if that's something we can expect in the R&D line item this year in 2026.

Speaker #3: The company is doing a really good job executing today, but we're also building for tomorrow and investing in opportunities to expand the application of our products geographically.
