November 8, 2007, San Diego, California -- Volcano Corporation (Nasdaq: VOLC), a leading provider of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and functional measurement (FM) products designed to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of vascular and structural heart diseases, today reported results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2007. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Volcano reported record revenues of $31.5 million, a 13 percent increase over revenues of $27.8 million in the third quarter a year ago. For the third quarter of 2007, the company reported a net loss on a GAAP basis of $652,000, or $0.02 per share, compared with net income of $501,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, the company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $809,000, the company reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2006. Weighted average basic shares outstanding in the quarter were 38.7 million compared with 33.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. A reconciliation of the company's GAAP to non-GAAP results can be found in today's earnings news release on the company's website at http://www.volcanocorp.com. Volcano ended the quarter with $92.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term available-for-sale investments. This balance does not include the proceeds from the company's stock offering completed on October 23, 2007, which generated proceeds of approximately $123 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses. "Our third quarter results represent record revenues for the company and reflect our success at growing sales of our IVUS disposables and expanding our installed base of IVUS consoles. IVUS disposable revenues grew 24 percent globally and 28 percent in the United States year-over-year. Through the first three quarters of 2007, we have placed more IVUS consoles than we did in all of last year. In addition, our year-to-date growth has occurred across all our geographies," said Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer of Volcano. "We believe the growth of our IVUS activity reflects several factors, including the ongoing release of favorable data regarding the value of IVUS in stenting procedures. There were a number of presentations at the recent Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting demonstrating that IVUS can assist interventional cardiologists in providing a more complete diagnosis and prevent stent placement-related complications. In addition, the integration and ease of use provided by our s5 consoles is facilitating adoption of IVUS within the clinical community," Huennekens continued. "We are further encouraged by recent comments from stent manufacturers suggesting that stenting activity is beginning to rebound and data showing that U.S. PCI volume grew in the third quarter versus the second quarter of this year. We believe that we will benefit from these trends," he added. During the quarter, the company announced a market alliance with Philips Electronics Japan to promote Volcano's s5i IVUS system with Philips cardiovascular X-ray equipment. The company also said that it expects to have regulatory clearance in the United States for its Revolution rotational catheter on the s5 with Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in January 2008, and expects to have regulatory approval in Europe later this year. In Japan, the company has recently launched the Revolution on its IVG IVUS console. With respect to clinical trial activities, the company said recent highlights included:
For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, revenues were $90.6 million, a 23 percent increase over revenues of $73.5 million in the same period a year ago. On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.07 per share, versus a loss of $10.0 million, or $0.60 per share, in the same period a year ago. Included in the results for 2006 is a write-off of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share, related to deferred debt issuance costs as a result of the company's initial public offering. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $4.7 million, the company reported net income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2007. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million and the write-off of $1.2 million, the company reported a loss of $6.5 million, or $0.39 per share, in the same period a year ago.

Call Volcano Corporation This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial information to our financial statements as prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) is included in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures provide an indication of our performance before certain charges. Our management believes that in order to properly understand our short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of these charges. These charges result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing operations. Our management believes that these items should be excluded when comparing our current operating results with those of prior periods as the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs, which results from the repayment of certain debt in connection with our initial public offering, will not impact future operating results, and stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense. In addition, our management uses results of operations before certain charges to evaluate the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. Forward-Looking Statements
