INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES RECORD $23.4 MILLION THIRD

QUARTER REVENUE, UP 37%

 

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. October 27, 2003 – Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the leader in operative surgical robotics, today reported third quarter 2003 sales of $23.4 million, increasing 37% from $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2002. Higher sales were driven by continued recurring revenue growth, higher da Vinci® Surgical System unit shipments, and fourth surgical arm shipments. Third quarter 2003 recurring revenue totaled $7.7 million, up 98% over the prior year and up $1.4 million, or 21%, sequentially from the second quarter of 2003. Recurring revenue increased to 33% of total sales from 23% during the third quarter last year.

 

Intuitive shipped 15 da Vinci® Surgical Systems during the third quarter 2003, compared to 14 during the third quarter last year. Intuitive ended the quarter with 192 cumulative da Vinci® Surgical System placements. Intuitive’s successful fourth surgical arm upgrade again bolstered revenue, as the company shipped 16 fourth arms in the third quarter, after introducing and shipping 9 units in the previous quarter. Overall third quarter 2003 system revenue increased to $15.7 million from $13.2 million during the third quarter last year.

 

Effective July 1, 2003, Intuitive prospectively adopted EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Under EITF 00-21, a portion of the overall system price attributable to the first year of service is deferred and recognized as revenue over the course of the first year. Previously, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” Intuitive recognized this amount in the period the system was delivered and accepted and accrued the estimated costs of providing service in that same period. As a result of the adoption of EITF 00-21, $1.7 million of revenue was deferred during the third quarter for recognition in future quarters.

The following chart summarizes current quarter and year-to-date revenue by product category and da Vinci® Surgical System placements. As a result of the prospective adoption of EITF 00-21 on July 1 2003 described previously, only the third quarter 2003 figures reflect the impact of this accounting change and none of the previous periods have been restated.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2003 was 55.9%, compared with 51.2% for the third quarter of 2002. The improvement in 2003 gross margin was driven by lower product material costs, improved factory productivity, and product reliability improvements.

 

Third quarter 2003 operating expenses of $16.7 million were $1.1 million higher than the $15.6 million reported for the third quarter of 2002 and $3.7 million higher than the $13.0 million reported for the second quarter of 2003. The increase over the second quarter of this year primarily reflected increased operating expenses assumed in the Computer Motion acquisition and non-recurring costs to integrate the companies. Because the Computer Motion acquisition closed on June 30, 2003, Intuitive’s second quarter contained no Computer Motion operating expenses, while the third quarter contained the full quarter’s expenses.

 

Net loss for the third quarter 2003 was $3.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $6.5 million, or $0.35 per share, last year.

 

Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, Chairman and CEO of Intuitive Surgical said, “We are pleased with our record third quarter sales and our continued recurring revenue growth. As

expected, we incurred a net loss this quarter as we digested the Computer Motion acquisition. At this point our integration of Computer Motion is substantially complete.”

 

The company will also announce these results at a conference call today at 8:00 AM 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 Zeus® System is an advanced microsurgery robotics suite, consisting of an ergonomic surgeon control console and three table-mounted robotic arms, which act as the surgeon’s hands and eyes during endoscopic surgery.

 

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.
