DANVERS, Mass., May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abiomed, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABMD), a
leading provider of breakthrough heart support technologies, today reported
fourth quarter fiscal 2017 revenue of $124.7 million, an increase of 33%
compared to revenue of $94.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2016.  For
fiscal year 2017, total revenue was $445.3 million, up 35% compared to revenue
of $329.5 million in fiscal year 2016.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2017 GAAP net income was $14.9 million or $0.33 per
diluted share, impacted by $3.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share of one-time
items, described below. For the full fiscal year, GAAP net income was $52.1
million or $1.17 per diluted share.

Financial and operating highlights during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017
include:

* Fiscal fourth quarter worldwide Impella® heart pump revenue totaled $118.9
million, an increase of 34% compared to revenue of $88.6 million during

* U.S. Impella heart pump revenue for the quarter grew 32% to $108.2 million
from $81.8 million in the prior fiscal year with U.S. patient usage of the
Impella heart pumps up 30%.  Full year U.S. Impella revenue totaled $387.5
million, up 35% compared to $287.2 million in the prior fiscal year.

* The installed base for Impella 2.5® heart pumps in the U.S. grew by an
additional 19 hospitals, which made initial purchases of Impella heart
pumps, bringing the installed customer base to 1,138 sites. The installed
customer base for Impella CP® heart pumps grew by 44 new U.S. hospitals,
bringing the total number of Impella CP sites to 1,016. The installed
customer base for Impella 5.0® heart pumps grew by 11 new U.S. hospitals,
bringing the total number of Impella 5.0 sites to 453.

* An additional 7 sites made initial purchases of Impella RP® heart pumps




during the quarter, bringing the total number of sites to 127.

* Gross margin for fiscal fourth quarter 2017 was 84.6% compared to 84.4% in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  For the full fiscal year, gross margin
was 84.1% compared to 84.7% in the prior year.

* Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 was $29.0 million, or
23.3% operating margin, compared to $19.8 million, or 21.1% operating margin
in the prior year period. For the full fiscal year, operating income was
$90.1 million, or 20.2% of revenue, compared to $65.1 million, or 19.8% of
revenue in the prior year.

* The Company generated $18.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, bringing the total to
$277.1 million as of March 31, 2017. The Company currently has no debt.

* Fourth quarter fiscal 2017 GAAP net income was $14.9 million or $0.33 per
diluted share and full fiscal year GAAP net income was $52.1 million or
$1.17 per diluted share. This compares to GAAP net income for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2016 of $11.0 million or $0.24 per diluted share and full
fiscal year GAAP net income of $38.1 million or $0.85 per diluted share.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a non-
recurring income tax charge of $3.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share,
related to uncertainty about the utilization of research and development tax
credits.

* Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company will adopt a new
accounting standard entitled "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment
Accounting". Under this new standard, excess tax benefits and deficiencies
associated with employee share-based payments will no longer be recognized
as additional paid-in capital on the balance sheet, but instead will be
recognized directly to income tax expense or benefit in the income statement
for the reporting period in which they occur. The adoption of the new
accounting standard is likely to introduce positive fluctuations to net
income, our tax provision and earnings per share this year, but will not
impact Abiomed's operating income or cash tax paid.

* On February 23, 2017, Abiomed announced that it has supported more than
50,000 patients in the U.S. with its Impella® heart pumps.

* On March 19, 2017 at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 66th Annual
Scientific Session in Washington, D.C, Abiomed announced and presented data
from the Impella® Quality (IQ) Assurance Program, which includes the IQ
Database and cVAD RegistryTM. The Abiomed IQ Assurance Program is a real-
world collection of clinical information derived from the treatment of
patients with Impella devices since 2008. Trends in the observational IQ
Database, combined with information from Abiomed's Institutional Review
Board (IRB)-approved cVAD Registry have helped identify best practices and
protocols that are associated with improved survival and native heart
recovery in hospitals using Impella devices. The data presented also
included new data from the Detroit Cardiogenic Shock Initiative (DCSI),
which is an unprecedented collaboration between five heart hospitals in
Detroit focused on systematic best practices to increase cardiogenic shock
survival rates.

* On March 30, 2017, Abiomed announced the Grand Opening of Newly-Expanded
manufacturing and training space at Danvers, Massachusetts headquarters.

* Today, Abiomed announced in a separate press release, the first patient
enrolled in the STEMI Door to Unloading (DTU) feasibility study.

"Abiomed remains one of the fastest growing GAAP profitable companies and fiscal
2017 was another successful year as we achieved our corporate goals with two FDA
approvals, approval in Japan, and dedicated DRGs from the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS)," said Michael R. Minogue, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer, Abiomed. "We want to thank our shareholders for their
support and all of our employees and customers for their hard work and
dedication to patients and our mission of heart recovery."
