  • Fourth quarter revenue of $33.6 million, an increase of 15.5% from the year-ago quarter on a preliminary, unaudited basis
  • Fourth quarter revenue exceeds top-end of company's guidance range

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In preparation for several investor meetings to be held in the coming weeks, Vascular Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:VASC) today announced preliminary revenue results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 and full year of 2014.

Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be $33.6 million, a record quarterly level and an increase of 15.5% from $29.1 million in the year-earlier quarter, exceeding the top-end of the company's guidance range of $32.5 million to $33.5 million for the quarter.

For the full year 2014, revenue is expected to be $126.1 million, an increase of 14% from 2013 revenue of $110.5 million.

"We are pleased to attain another quarter of record revenue and complete our 11th consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth," said Howard Root, CEO of Vascular Solutions. "Our performance was strong both domestically and overseas and across a broad range of product offerings, and was driven by the clinical utility of our medical devices and the value they provide for our customers and their patients. With several new clinically-important medical devices already cleared and launching in the next few weeks, and with a full pipeline of new products in development, we are very confident in the outlook for our business in both the near- and long-term."

On a preliminary, unaudited basis for the fourth quarter, U.S. revenues grew 8% to $26.8 million, while international revenues grew nearly 59% to $6.7 million. The company's largest product segment, catheter products, grew 24%, led by 71% growth in sales of the GuideLiner® guide extension catheter.

While the company has not completed its quarter-end procedures to provide preliminary earnings results at this time, Vascular Solutions believes GAAP net earnings for the fourth quarter will be above the high end of the company's previous GAAP net earnings guidance of $0.16 to $0.18 per fully diluted share.

All figures in this release are preliminary and remain subject to the completion of normal year-end accounting procedures as well as audit by the company's independent registered public accounting firm, which could result in changes to these preliminary results. Vascular Solutions will report its full financial results for the fourth quarter on Tuesday, February 3, after the close of trading. The company will also provide financial guidance for the first quarter and full year of 2015 at that time.
