ATRI ATRION Corporation

Atrion Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRI) today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $48.8 million compared to $43.8 million for the same period in 2023. For the just ended quarter, operating income was $0.5 million, down $6.8 million from the comparable 2023 period, and net income was $0.4 million, down $6.2 million from the same period in 2023. Operating income was significantly impacted by the accrual of $5.0 million in acquisition-related expenses discussed below. Second quarter 2024 diluted earnings per share were $0.23 compared to $3.73 for the second quarter of 2023.

Commenting on the results for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period, David Battat, President and CEO, stated, “We were pleased to see strong revenue growth of 11%. Adjusting for the accrual of expenses relating to the merger with Nordson Corporation announced May 28, 2024, operating income was $5.5 million, down 25% from the prior year period. Our MPS consoles showed particularly strong growth, with sales up 22% and MPS disposables sales up 21%. We saw continued recovery in our fluid delivery products, with certain product families showing double-digit revenue increases compared to the prior year period. We continued to halt some fluid delivery production lines to reduce inventories accumulated as the result of the supply chain disruptions in 2023. While this halt resulted in under-absorption of overhead and negatively impacted operating income, the value of inventories declined 10% from the first to the second quarters of this year and are 18% lower than they were December 31, 2023.”

Mr. Battat concluded, “As of June 30, 2024, cash and short- and long-term investments totaled $23.2 million. We remain debt free.”

This release includes a reference to non-GAAP operating income that excludes merger-related expenses accrued in the second quarter of 2024. This financial measure is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The operating income excluding the merger accrual is calculated by increasing operating income by the amount of the merger-related expenses.

We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides insight into our operating income performance. However, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. and are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
