Boston Scientific Corp. said earnings soared in the first
quarter as it completed two acquisitions and made significant
headway on several products in development.
The Marlborough, Mass.-based biomedical engineering company said
net income rose to $300 million, or 21 cents per share, for the
quarter ended March 31, up from $97 million, or 7 cents per share,
in the year-ago period.
Sales rose to $3.39 billion, up from $3.03 billion in the
year-ago period. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had expected sales of
$3.16 billion, and the company had projected a 3% to 5% increase in
sales in its own guidance.
Two business segments, MedSurg and Cardiovascular, saw growth of
11% and 12.7%, respectively.
During the quarter, Boston Scientific received U.S. Food and
Drug Administration clearance to launch its LithoVue Elite
Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope System. The company also
completed the acquisitions of Apollo Endosurgery Inc. and a
majority stake investment in Acotec, a Chinese medical technology
company.
The LithoVue Elite Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope
System assists urologists in monitoring intrarenal pressure in
real-time during ureteroscopy procedures. Its launch was joined by
positive trial results and progress in developing several other
medical technologies.
