INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES $27.1 MILLION FIRST QUARTER REVENUE, UP 41%

 

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. April 29, 2004 – Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the leader in operative surgical robotics, today reported first quarter 2004 sales of $27.1 million, increasing 41% from $19.2 million for the first quarter of 2003. Higher sales were driven by continued recurring revenue growth and da Vinci® Surgical System fourth arm upgrade shipments. First quarter 2004 recurring revenue, consisting of instrument, accessory, service and training revenue, totaled $12.5 million, up 125% over the prior year and up $2.4 million, or 24%, sequentially from the fourth quarter of 2003. First quarter 2004 recurring revenue increased to 46% of total sales from 29% during the first quarter of 2003.

 

First quarter 2004 system revenue increased to $14.6 million from $13.7 million during the first quarter 2003. Intuitive sold 14 da Vinci® Surgical Systems during the first quarter of 2004, equal to the first quarter of 2003. Intuitive also shipped 11 da Vinci® Surgical System fourth arms during the first quarter 2004. Intuitive ended the first quarter 2004 with 224 cumulative da Vinci® Surgical Systems sold, compared to 163 at the end of the first quarter 2003.

Gross profit increased to $15.8 million, or 58.5% of sales, for the first quarter 2004, compared to $9.7 million, or 50.6% of sales for the first quarter 2003. Higher first quarter 2004 gross profit margin resulted primarily from lower product material costs and productivity gains.

 

First quarter 2004 operating expenses of $15.6 million increased $2.7 million from first quarter 2003 operating expenses of $12.9 million. First quarter 2004 operating expenses included a $0.7 million charge taken in the first quarter 2004 to shut down the former Computer Motion Goleta, California site and consolidate operations at the Intuitive corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

 

Intuitive reported first quarter 2004 net income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per share for the first quarter 2003.

 

Intuitive ended the first quarter 2004 with $115.8 million in cash and short-term investments, up $2.9 million from $112.9 million at December 31, 2003.

 

Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, Chairman and CEO of Intuitive Surgical said, “We are pleased with our accelerating recurring revenue growth and our return to profitability this quarter, post our acquisition of Computer Motion. We expect to grow our profitability in future quarters.”

 

The company will also announce these results at a conference call today at 1:30 PM PST. The dial-in numbers for the call are 877-909-3508 for participants located in the U.S. and 484-630-4228 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.

 

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.
