Atrion Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results |
ALLEN, TX--(Marketwired - February 22, 2016) -
Atrion Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRI) announced today that for the fourth quarter of 2015 revenues were $32.4 million compared to $32.7 million in the same period of 2014, net income increased to $6.1 million from $6.0 million, and diluted earnings per share were up to $3.27 from $3.08 in the prior-year period. For the full year 2015, Atrion's revenues increased to $145.7 million from $140.8 million in 2014, net income was up to $28.9 million from $27.8 million, while diluted earnings per share increased to $15.47 from $14.08 in 2014.
Commenting on the Company's results for the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2014, David A. Battat, President & CEO, said, "In the final quarter of 2015, we experienced weak demand and currency headwinds leading to some $300,000 in lower revenues and the same dollar impact on our operating income. Net income was slightly above the prior-year's comparable quarter but included two unusual items in this year's quarter: the recognition of an impairment loss of $2.4 million in our bond portfolio, and a reduction in our tax expense primarily related to R&D tax credits. Diluted EPS for the quarter increased 6%."
Mr. Battat observed, "For the year as whole, Fluid Delivery and Cardiovascular, our key areas that account for almost three-quarters of our sales, did well and revenues were up a combined 6%. Revenues from Ophthalmology, our smallest field accounting for less than 13% of sales, were down over $1.0 million." Mr. Battat added, "Diluted earnings per share were up 10% for the year compared with the full year of 2014." Mr. Battat stated, "In 2015, we continued our practice of returning capital to our stockholders through higher dividends and significant stock repurchases. While we did not acquire any shares in the fourth quarter, during the year we purchased a total of 89,862 shares at a cost of $30.9 million, averaging $343 per share. We again ended the year with no debt, while holding a healthy balance of $38.3 million in cash and short and long-term investments." Mr. Battat concluded, "For the full year of 2016, we continue to caution that our growth is likely to be modest with uneven quarterly comparisons reflecting not only volatility in ophthalmic sales but also the significant impact of the strong U.S. dollar on the more than one third of our sales to international markets."
