Atrion Reports Second Quarter Results - Atrion (NASDAQ:ATRI)

ALLEN, Texas, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atrion Corporation ATRI today announced that for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, revenues totaled $38.0 million compared with $40.1 million for the same period in 2019. Net income for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $8.6 million as compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 2019, with diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2020 at $4.68 compared to $5.18 for the second quarter of 2019.

Commenting on the Company's quarterly results for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period last year, David A. Battat, President & CEO, stated, "The impact of the pandemic was felt in the second quarter with revenues and operating income lower by 5% and 8%, respectively, essentially the reverse image of the first quarter when revenues were up 5% and operating income was up 6%." Mr. Battat explained, "The current year second quarter saw hospitals suspend elective surgeries to preserve ICU beds and other resources to deal with the anticipated deluge of Covid-19 patients. As a result, sales of our products used in elective procedures were lower by $3.7 million." Mr. Battat added, "The net impact on overall sales was limited to $2.1 million thanks to our diversified product portfolio and the tireless efforts of my co-workers who kept our operations running throughout this period."

Mr. Battat continued "With an effective tax rate 15% higher in this year's quarter than the prior year's second quarter, diluted EPS and net income were lower by 10% and 11%, respectively. During the quarter we purchased 12,158 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $641 per share. As of June 30, 2020, we continue to be debt free while holding $87.5 million in cash and short and long term investments."
