Edwards Lifesciences Corp. posted higher earnings in the first
quarter, driven by an increase in sales as the company saw a rise
in structural heart procedures during the period.
The medical device company reported earnings of $338.2 million,
up from $310.6 million in the comparable period a year earlier.
Per-share earnings were 54 cents, up from 49 cents a year ago.
Adjusted earnings were 54 cents a share. Analysts were expecting
reported earnings of 46 cents a share and adjusted earnings of 47
cents a share, according to a FactSet poll.
Net sales rose to $1.22 billion from $1.13 billion a year
earlier. Analysts were looking for $1.16 billion.
"Structural heart procedures increased as we progressed through
the winter months, and our sales growth this quarter was better
than expected," Chief Executive Michael Mussallem said in prepared
remarks.
