Intuitive Surgical Announces Second Quarter Results
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2000--Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISRG), today reported sales of $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2000, up 41% from $3.6 million in sales reported in the second quarter of 1999. Sales increased by $2.2 million, or 75%, from the first quarter of 2000. This growth in revenue was driven by the sale and installation of six da Vinci(TM) Surgical Systems in the second quarter of 2000, compared with four da Vinci(TM) Surgical Systems in the second quarter of 1999 and three da Vinci(TM) Surgical Systems in the first quarter of 2000.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2000 was 32%, compared with 11% for the second quarter of 1999 and 14% for the first quarter of 2000. This improvement resulted from higher sales and increased manufacturing efficiencies.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2000 was $4.5 million, compared to a net loss of $3.3 million for the second quarter of 1999 and $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2000. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.23 for the second quarter of 2000, compared to a net loss per share of $0.70 for the second quarter of 1999. The weighted average shares used to compute net loss per share was approximately 19.8 million shares for the second quarter of 2000 and approximately 4.6 million shares for the second quarter of 1999. Common shares outstanding at the end of the second quarter 2000 was approximately 34.9 million shares.
The company will also announce these results at a conference call today at 1:30pm PDT.
Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, president and CEO of Intuitive Surgical, said: "We are very pleased with our second quarter results and the growth in sales of our da Vinci(TM) Surgical Systems. Up to now, most of our clinical successes have been focused in Europe. With the recent clearance we received from the FDA, we are now positioned to expand the use of our products in the United States."
On July 11, 2000 the Company received clearance from the FDA to market the da Vinci(TM) Surgical System in the United States for use in laparoscopic surgical procedures. Intuitive now has the only FDA-cleared, complete robotic system available for surgery in the United States.
In June 2000, the Company sold 5.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $9.00 per share in connection with its initial public offering. In July 2000, the Company sold an additional 750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $9.00 per share upon the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
About the da Vinci(TM) Surgical System:
The da Vinci(TM) Surgical System consists of a surgeon's viewing and control console having an integrated, high-performance 3-D vision system, a patient-side cart consisting of three robotic arms that position and precisely maneuver endoscopic instruments and an endoscope, and a variety of articulating EndoWrist(TM) Instruments. By integrating computer-enhanced, robotic 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(TM) 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.
