INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. July 22, 2009 – Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the industry leader in surgical robotics, today reported second quarter of 2009 revenue of $260.6 million, compared with $219.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter of 2009 revenue included $13.8 million of revenue that was originally deferred in the first quarter of 2009 in association with discounted offers made to certain customers to upgrade da Vinci S Surgical Systems to our recently introduced da Vinci Si Surgical Systems. The Company had deferred a total of $20.1 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2009 and expects to recognize the remaining $6.3 million in the second half of 2009.

Second quarter of 2009 instruments and accessories revenue increased to $95.8 million from $73.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. The growth in instruments and accessories revenue was primarily driven by growth in da Vinci surgical procedures of approximately 52%, partially offset by lower instruments and accessories revenue per procedure. Second quarter of 2009 instruments and accessories revenue included recognition of $1.4 million of revenue that was originally deferred in the first quarter of 2009.

Second quarter of 2009 systems revenue was $123.5 million, compared to $116.1 million during the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter of 2009 systems revenue included recognition of $12.4 million of revenue that was originally deferred in the first quarter of 2009. 76 da Vinci Surgical Systems were sold during the second quarter of 2009, compared to 85 sold during the second quarter of 2008. 47 of the 76 systems sold during the quarter were the new da Vinci Si model.

Second quarter of 2009 service revenue increased to $41.3 million from $29.4 million during the second quarter of 2008, reflecting growth in the installed base of da Vinci Surgical Systems. The Company ended the second quarter of 2009 with 1,242 da Vinci Surgical Systems installed throughout the world.


Second quarter of 2009 operating income increased to $99.5 million from $78.2 million during the second quarter of 2008, reflecting growth in revenue but also included the impact of recognizing $13.8 million of revenue that was originally deferred in the first quarter of 2009. Since there was no cost deferred in association with the deferred revenue, the $13.8 million of revenue recognized had an equal impact on total revenue, operating income and pretax income. Operating results for the second quarter of 2009 also included $24.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS 123R, compared with $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2008.

Second quarter of 2009 net income was $62.4 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, compared with $51.2 million, or $1.28 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008. The $13.8 million of revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2009, related to revenue deferred in the first quarter, increased second quarter 2009 net income by approximately $8.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Intuitive ended the second quarter of 2009 with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $902 million, up $80 million from the previous quarter.

Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, Chairman and CEO of Intuitive Surgical, said, “We are pleased by our continued strong procedure growth and the positive market response to our new da Vinci Si system.”

The Company will also announce these results at a conference call today at 1:30 pm PDT. The dial-in numbers for the call are 888-324-9653 for participants located in the U.S. and 312-470-0030 for participants located outside the U.S. The passcode is ISRG and the meeting leader is Mr. Lonnie Smith.
