"This is a gain of 480 basis points year-over-year, and represents a gain of 170 basis points over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. We are pleased with this strong financial performance, as the seasonality in our business typically results in relatively softer sales in our fiscal first quarter, which is comprised of the summer months, compared to the remaining quarters of the fiscal year. We are confident that we will reach our goal to achieve gross profit margins in the low to mid 60% range by fiscal 2008. Our exceptional gross profit margin improvement is a strong testament to how well all aspects of our business are running." "Sales growth from our newest products, along with continued market share gains across our diversified product portfolio, has led to our outstanding profit growth for the fiscal first quarter. We are extremely excited that our first quarter results are in line with our fiscal 2006 goals to deliver at least 20% revenue growth, at least 200 basis point gross profit margin improvement, and at least 35% operating profit growth, excluding one-time expenses." remarked Mr. Hobbs. The effective tax rate for the 2006 quarter was 37.8%, compared with 40.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease is attributed to the use of R&D credit carryforwards and contribution carryforwards during the current quarter. As of August 27, 2005, cash and short-term investments were $28.8 million, an increase of $1.7 million during the fiscal 2006 first quarter. Cash flow continues to be quite strong. The Company generated $1.4 million in cash from operations during the current quarter, compared with $290,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company is affirming its financial guidance for fiscal 2006. AngioDynamics expects net sales growth to exceed 20%, to at least $72.0 million, compared with fiscal 2005. Year-over-year net income growth is expected to exceed 27%, to $5.8 million, which includes an anticipated one-time charge totaling $366,000, net of income taxes, to be incurred in connection with the Company's requirement to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act See SOX. by May 2006. Without the effect of these one-time expenses, net income would be expected to reach $6.1 million, or 35% net income growth from fiscal 2005. The Company is providing this guidance to demonstrate that its performance continues to be consistent with the ongoing guidance it has provided since its initial public offering in May 2004, but for the effect of those one-time expenses. R&D and SG&A expenses for the fiscal year 2006 are expected to be approximately 8% and 36% of net sales, respectively. The Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 39% for fiscal year 2006.
