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.

Intuitive®, da Vinci®, da Vinci® SInSite®, EndoWrist®, Hermes®, and Aesop® are trademarks or registered trademarks of Intuitive Surgical, Inc.

About non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we have presented the following information defined as non-GAAP financial information by the SEC: non-GAAP (pro forma) statements of operations and EBITDA. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations” and “Unaudited Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization Reconciliation” included in this release.

Intuitive’s management believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Intuitive’s performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Intuitive has computed its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
