INTUITIVE SURGICAL ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. April 15, 2010 – Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the industry leader in surgical robotics, today reported first quarter of 2010 revenue of $329 million, up from $188 million for the first quarter of 2009. First 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, first quarter 2009 revenue was reduced by a total of $20 million related to revenue deferred in association with the introduction of the da Vinci Si system, $18 million from systems revenue and $2 million from accessory revenue.
First quarter of 2010 instruments and accessories revenue increased to $123 million from $80 million in the first quarter of 2009. The growth in instruments and accessories revenue was primarily driven by growth in da Vinci surgical procedures of approximately 37% and higher initial instrument and accessory stocking orders associated with higher da Vinci Surgical System sales. First quarter of 2010 systems revenue was $155 million, compared to $70 million during the first quarter of 2009. 104 da Vinci Surgical Systems were sold during the first quarter of 2010 compared to 66 sold during the first quarter of 2009. First quarter of 2010 service revenue increased 29% to $51 million from $39 million during the first quarter of 2009, reflecting growth in the installed base of da Vinci Surgical Systems.
First quarter of 2010 operating income increased to $130 million from $45 million during the first quarter of 2009. First quarter 2009 operating income was reduced by $20 million related to the revenue deferrals described above. Operating results for the first quarter of 2010 included $27 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense compared with $23 million for the first quarter of 2009.
First quarter of 2010 net income was $85 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared with $28 million, or $0.72 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009. The first quarter 2009 revenue deferral reduced net income for the period by approximately $12 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.
Commenting on the announcement, Gary Guthart, President and CEO of Intuitive Surgical, said, “We are pleased with our first quarter performance as we continue to extend the benefits of da Vinci surgery to patients worldwide.”
The Company will also announce these results at a conference call today at 1:30 pm PDT.

| (1) | In April 2009, the Company offered certain customers the opportunity to upgrade the da Vinci S Surgical Systems purchased during the first quarter of 2009 to da Vinci Si Surgical Systems, at a discount from the list price of the upgrade. These customers were also given the opportunity to return certain da Vinci S accessories in exchange for da Vinci Si accessories. The customers were given until June 30, 2009 to accept the offer. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had deferred $20.1 million associated with these offers. Had the $20.1 million of revenue not been deferred, the total revenue and diluted earnings per share during the three months ended March 31, 2009 would have been $208.5 million and $1.02, respectively. Amount deferred was recognized in the second and third quarter of 2009. The deferral has no impact on the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010. |
