Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:EW) shares jumped after hours today on second-quarter results that topped the consensus forecast.

The Irvine, Calif.-based heart valve replacement pioneer posted profits of $242.3 million, or $1.14 per share, on sales of $1.09 billion for the three months ended June 30, for a -14.3% bottom-line slide on sales growth of 15.2%.

Adjusted to exclude one-time items, earnings per share were $1.38, a full nickel ahead of Wall Street, where analysts were looking for sales of $1.04 billion.

“We are pleased to report stronger-than-expected sales growth in the second quarter, which continued a long-term trend of reaching more patients with innovative therapies and creating value,” chairman & CEO Mike Mussallem said in prepared remarks. “Increased demand for TAVR therapy resulted in underlying total company sales growth of 14%, which also reflected strength in all four of our product lines across all regions.”
