The results for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009, represent a 34 percent increase over revenues
of $36.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. The revenues for
the first quarter of 2009 include $3.7 million from Axsun Technologies,
Inc., which Volcano acquired at the end of 2008 and for which
the company recorded no revenues in the first quarter a year
ago.
The company said revenue growth was driven by a 24 percent
increase in revenues from its intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
and Functional Measurement (FM) offerings. |
For the first quarter of 2009, the company reported a GAAP net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.16 per share, versus a GAAP net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per share, in the same period in 2008. Weighted average shares for the first quarter of 2009 were 48.0 million.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million, the company reported a net loss of $4.9 million, or $0.10 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding acquisition-related costs of $2.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and in-process research and development expenses of $175,000, Volcano reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of the company's GAAP and non-GAAP results can be found in today's earnings news release on the company's website at www.volcanocorp.com.
"In spite of a
difficult U.S. capital equipment environment, we continued our
successful market expansion programs for Volcano's IVUS and FM
offerings during the quarter as we placed 210 IVUS consoles,
nearly double the consoles placed in the same period a year ago.
In addition, our combined IVUS and FM revenues increased 24 percent
versus the first quarter of 2008, including an 82 percent increase
in FM disposable revenues," said Scott Huennekens, president
and chief executive officer of Volcano.
"Helping to drive adoption
were the technology leadership of our offerings, our expanded
sales force and the ongoing release of data that demonstrate
the value of using IVUS and FM to diagnose and treat patients," he
added. |

The company said that it is also accelerating its direct sales program in Japan and is in negotiations with Goodman, its largest Japanese distributor, regarding the transition, and expects to discontinue distribution through Goodman over the next two quarters.
"We feel very positive about our market position and the momentum we have in Japan," Huennekens noted. "We now have nearly 40 sales representatives in the market and expect to add significantly to our infrastructure in Japan during the balance of the year as we move to assume direct control of our sales and marketing efforts there," he
continued.
Guidance
The company reconfirmed prior guidance for revenues of $218-$223 million
and gross margin of 60-62 percent in fiscal 2009. It said that given the acceleration
of its direct sales program in Japan and ongoing transition negotiations with
Goodman, it is currently not able to determine the timing and impact on operating
expenses and net income. As a result, Volcano is not providing guidance for
total consolidated operating expenses, operating income or earnings per share.
Regardless of the outcome of negotiations with Goodman, the company expects
increased operating expenses related to the expansion of its sales force infrastructure,
including further increased sales and marketing expenses in Japan, expanded
clinical trial activity and costs related to litigation. Conference Call
The company will hold a conference call at 2 p.m., Pacific
Daylight Time, (5 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time), today. The teleconference can
be accessed by calling (719) 325-4826, passcode 5095234, or via the company's

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press 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 factors 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 stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense and in-process research and
development and acquisition-related costs are not reflective of core operating
activities. 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 note that the non-GAAP financial measures
used by the company may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may
not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies. Investors
should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute
for, financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP.
