INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. July 21, 2010 – Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the industry leader in surgical robotics, today reported second quarter of 2010 revenue of $351 million, up from $261 million for the second quarter of 2009. Second quarter of 2010 revenue growth was driven by continued robotic procedure adoption and higher da Vinci Surgical System sales. For comparison purposes, as previously reported, second quarter 2009 revenue was impacted by the recognition of $14 million in revenue deferred in the first quarter of 2009 related to da Vinci Si system upgrade revenue offers made.

Second quarter of 2010 instruments and accessories revenue increased to $128 million from $96 million in the second quarter of 2009. The growth in instruments and accessories revenue largely resulted from growth in da Vinci surgical procedures by approximately 36%, led by growth in da Vinci hysterectomy (dVH) procedure volume.

Second quarter of 2010 systems revenue was $168 million, compared to $124 million during the second quarter of 2009. 108 da Vinci Surgical Systems were sold during the second quarter of 2010 compared to 76 sold during the second quarter of 2009. Second quarter of 2010 service revenue increased to $55 million from $41 million during the second quarter of 2009, reflecting growth in the installed base of da Vinci Surgical Systems.

Second quarter of 2010 operating income increased to $140 million from $100 million during the second quarter of 2009. Second quarter 2009 operating income included the impact of recognizing $14 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 $14 million of revenue recognized had an equal impact on total revenue, operating income and pretax income. Operating results for the second quarter of 2010 included $30 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense compared with $25 million for the second quarter of 2009.

Second quarter of 2010 net income was $89 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared with $62 million, or $1.62 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009. Revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2009 related to the first quarter 2009 revenue deferral increased net income in the second quarter of 2009 by approximately $8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.


Commenting on the announcement, Gary Guthart, President and CEO of Intuitive Surgical, said, “We are pleased with our team’s performance in the second quarter and our revenue and earnings growth. These financial results reflect continuing da Vinci surgery adoption, driven by procedures that improve surgical outcomes and reduce trauma.”

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 877-209-9920 for participants located in the United States and 612-288-0337 for participants located outside the United States. The meeting host is Dr. Gary Guthart. To access financial information that will be discussed on the call, please visit Intuitive Surgical’s website at www.intuitivesurgical.com.
