Boston Scientific’s net sales totalled $3.026bn in the first quarter of 2022, up 10% on a reported basis when compared to $2.75bn recorded in the same period last year.

The figure also represents 12.6% growth on an operational basis and a 9.7% rise on an organic basis.

In the first quarter of 2022, Boston Scientific also reorganised its operations into two reportable segments, namely MedSurg and Cardiovascular. Both units recorded an increase in net sales in the quarter.

However, the US-based company’s GAAP net income available to common stockholders in the quarter dropped to $97m or $0.07 per share (EPS), from $327m or $0.23 per share in the prior-year period.

Boston Scientific chairman and CEO Mike Mahoney said: “Our growth this quarter was fueled by strong execution from our global team, our innovative portfolio and improved procedure volume.

“We are pleased with our first-quarter performance and outlook for the full year, despite the impact of macroeconomic headwinds, and we look forward to bringing meaningful innovation to customers and the patients we serve together.”
