According to UTMD CEO Kevin Cornwell, "We are not happy with the results for 1Q 2008, although there were many reasons to be pleased with our ability to respond to a number of significant negative external factors affecting UTMD's business. We are just going to have to work harder to overcome, in particular, the restrictive practices of GPOs in the U.S. with devices that are highly differentiated in quality, safety and cost. We expect higher sales in 2Q 2008.''
Given the results of 1Q 2008, UTMD management now projects that EPS for 2008 as a whole will be in the range of $1.92 to $1.95. This compares to 2007 EPS of $1.98.
