INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES $87 MILLION SECOND QUARTER REVENUE, UP 65%
 
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. July 26, 2006 - Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the industry leader in surgical robotics, today reported second quarter 2006 sales of $87.0 million, increasing 65% from $52.8 million for the second quarter of 2005. Higher sales were driven by increased da Vinci® Surgical System sales and continued growth in recurring revenue.

Intuitive sold 39 da Vinci® Surgical Systems during the second quarter of 2006, compared to 26 in the second quarter of 2005. Second quarter 2006 system revenue increased to $48.1 million from $28.5 million during the second quarter of 2005.

Second quarter 2006 instrument and accessory revenue increased 61% to $26.1 million from $16.2 million during the second quarter of 2005. Instrument and accessory revenue growth resulted from a larger installed base of da Vinci® Surgical Systems and increased system usage.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $164.3 million, increasing 74% from 94.4 million for the first half of 2005.

Second quarter 2006 operating income was $24.5 million compared with $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2005. Operating results for the second quarter of 2006 included $6.5 million of stock compensation expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “SFAS” 123R. Excluding the $6.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense, second quarter 2006 operating income was $31.0 million, up 102% compared with the second quarter of 2005.


Exhibit 99.1

Second quarter 2006 net income, including non-cash stock compensation expense, was $16.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with $14.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2005. Excluding the impact of stock compensation expenses, second quarter 2006 net income was $21.1 million, or $0.55 per share, up 42% compared with the second quarter of 2005. A complete reconciliation between GAAP and results excluding stock compensation is provided in the attached tables.

Intuitive ended the second quarter of 2006 with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $243.8 million, up $22.3 million from the previous quarter end. Cash provided by operations for the second quarter of 2006 was $19.7 million, net of $5.7 million utilized during the quarter to fund working capital requirements.

Net income for the first half of 2006, including non-cash stock compensation expense, was $31.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared with $23.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share for the first half of 2005. Excluding the impact of stock compensation expenses, first half 2006 net income was $38.6 million, or $1.02 per share.

Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, Chairman and CEO of Intuitive Surgical said, “We are pleased with our second quarter revenue and bottom line growth, which were driven by higher procedure volume across all of our targeted surgical specialties. Adoption of da Vinci Surgery continues as we remain dedicated to providing the most effective, least invasive surgical treatment option available.”

The dial-in numbers for the call are 877-909-3508 for participants located in the U.S. and 517-645-6051 for participants located outside the U.S. The passcode is ISRG and the meeting leader is Mr. Lonnie Smith.

About Intuitive’s Products:
 
The da Vinci® Surgical System consists of a surgeon’s viewing and control console having an integrated, high-performance InSite® 3-D vision system, a patient-side cart consisting of three or four robotic arms that position and precisely maneuver endoscopic instruments and an endoscope, and a variety of articulating EndoWrist® Instruments. By integrating computer-enhanced technology with surgeons’ technical skills, Intuitive believes that its system enables surgeons to perform better surgery in a manner never before experienced. The da Vinci® Surgical System seamlessly and directly translates the surgeon’s natural hand, wrist and finger movements on instrument controls at the surgeon’s console outside the patient’s body into corresponding micro-movements of the instrument tips positioned inside the patient through small puncture incisions, or ports.


Exhibit 99.1

The Aesop® Endoscope Positioner is a voice-activated robotic arm that automates the critical task of endoscope positioning, providing the surgeon with direct control over a smooth, precise and stable view of the internal surgical field.

The Hermes® Control Center is a centralized system designed to voice control a series of networked "smart" medical devices.

Note - To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have presented “Non-GAAP (pro forma)” information, which reflects our results based on GAAP excluding stock compensation expense under SFAS 123R. This “Non-GAAP” information is provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the “Non-GAAP” results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding SFAS 123R compensation charges that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. Further, these “Non-GAAP” results are one of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
