Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
LITTLE FALLS, N.J., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE:CMN) reported an 85% increase in net income to $6,168,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, on a 10% increase in sales to a record $70,995,000 for the first quarter ended October 31, 2009. This compares with net income of $3,333,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, on sales of $64,406,000 for the first quarter ended October 31, 2008.
According to Andrew Krakauer, Cantel's President and CEO, "This record performance reflects our eighth sequential quarter of improved results. Cantel continued to benefit from the growth of higher margin consumables and service revenue, which now comprise 75% of our overall sales."
Krakauer added, "All of Cantel's businesses performed well during this quarter. Every operating segment reported higher gross margins and increased operating income, compared with the same quarter in the prior year. The strongest performance was in our Healthcare Disposables segment where operating profit more than doubled, driven by atypically high demand for our U.S.-manufactured, FDA-cleared face masks in response to the H1N1 flu outbreak. Our unusually high shipments of face masks are now returning to more normal levels. Additionally, in our Endoscope Reprocessing segment, proactive sales and marketing investments helped achieve strong revenue growth in both disinfectants and capital equipment."
The Company also reported that its balance sheet at October 31, 2009 included current assets of $92,552,000, including cash of $23,105,000, a current ratio of 1.53:1, gross debt of $38,000,000 and stockholders' equity of $193,332,000. Krakauer stated, "We continue to strengthen our balance sheet and generate substantial cash flow. Our cash provided by operating activities was $6,456,000 for the quarter, and our net debt position of $14,895,000 at the end of this first quarter was 25% lower than the previous quarter."

======= ======
EBITDAS is a measure of the Company's performance that is not
required by, or presented in accordance with, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial
measure defined by the Company as income before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense.
The Company believes EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement
for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-
cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, amortization
related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment, has
on the Company's net income. In particular, acquisitions have
historically resulted in significant increases in amortization of
intangible assets that reduced the Company's net income.
Additionally, the Company regards EBITDAS as a useful measure of
operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest
expense and complements operating income, net income and other GAAP
financial performance measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial
measure is a numerical measure of a Company's performance, financial
position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that
are not normally excluded or included in the most directly
comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
This measure, however, should be considered in addition to, and not
as a substitute or superior to, net income, cash flows, or other
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
