Coloplast AS (CPH:COLO B) reported a strong third quarter, with boosts in sales and earnings for the three months ended June 30.
The quarter’s sales grew 6 percent to $503 million, compared to $475 million during the same period last year.
The Denmark-based device maker, which ranked 41st on the MassDevice Big 100 list of the world’s largest medical device companies, saw 12 percent sales growth in the U.S., where higher sales in ostomy care and continence care products were offset by weaker growth in penile implant sales, according to the company’s latest financial report.
European sales grew 6 percent, driven by ostomy and continence care products but negatively impacted by developments in the European wound care business.
Coloplast’s profits soared 44 percent to $94 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, a huge leap from the $65 million in profit, or $1.53 per diluted share, reported during the same time last year.
The company was hesitant to raise its revenue forecast, maintaining at 6 percent on concerns about the continued downturn of the wound care business.
