Abiomed (ABMD) Posts Q4 GAAP EPS of $2.24

Abiomed (NASDAQ: ABMD) reported Q4 EPS of $2.24, which may not compare with the analyst estimate of $0.14. Revenue for the quarter came in at $67.6 million versus the consensus estimate of $62.55 million.

Fiscal fourth quarter GAAP income from operations totaled $12.4 million, up 235% compared to $3.7 million in the prior year. GAAP net income included an income tax benefit of $86.5 million largely due to the release of the valuation allowance on most of Abiomed's deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance is a onetime accounting adjustment with the offset recorded on the balance sheet as short and long term deferred tax assets based on the Company's estimates of sustainable profitability.
