August 4, 2009 -- San Diego -- Volcano
Corporation (Nasdaq: VOLC), a leader in the development, manufacturing
and sales
of products for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and peripheral
artery disease, today reported revenues of $54.0 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2009.
The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, represent an increase of 30 percent over revenues of $41.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. The revenues for the second quarter of 2009 include $3.9 million from Axsun Technologies, Inc., which Volcano acquired at the end of 2008 and for which the company recorded no revenues in the second quarter a year ago. For the second quarter of 2009, the company reported a GAAP net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.11 per share, versus a GAAP net loss of $13.5 million, or $0.29 per share, in the same period a year ago. The results for the second quarter of 2008 include $12.2 million in in-process research and development charges related to the company's acquisition of Novelis, Inc. Weighted average shares for the second quarter of 2009 were 48.3 million.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $2.9 million, the company reported a net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.05 per share, in the second quarter of 2009. In the second quarter of 2008, excluding the aforementioned charges related to the Novelis transaction and stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million, Volcano reported net income of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
For the first six months of 2009, Volcano reported revenues of $103.0 million, a 32 percent increase over revenues of $78.1 million in the same period a year ago. Revenues in the first six months of 2009 include $7.6 million from Axsun. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.27 per share, compared with a loss of $15.8 million, or $0.34 per share, in the first six months of 2008. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $5.6 million, Volcano reported a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.15 per share, in the first six months of 2009. Excluding in-process research and development costs of $12.2 million, $2.9 million in due diligence, legal and accounting expenses related to an acquisition that was not consummated, and stock-based compensation expense of $4.5 million, Volcano reported net income of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the first six
months of 2008.
"Volcano had an excellent quarter with strong growth in our core intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and functional measurement (FM) businesses and key geographies. IVUS disposable revenues in the quarter were $31.8 million, a record quarter for this business, and a 26 percent increase over the second quarter a year ago. FM revenues in the quarter were a record $7.2 million, with FM disposable revenues increasing 75 percent over the second quarter a year ago. In addition, we continued our successful IVUS/FM console placement initiatives, placing 233 consoles versus 178 a year ago, an increase of 31 percent," said Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer of Volcano. "These results portray the value of our technology innovation, effective sales and marketing programs and the growing recognition among clinicians that IVUS and FM can play an important role in the diagnosis
and treatment of patients," he added. Huennekens
said the company's direct sales initiative in Japan continues to progress
on schedule following the completion of a termination agreement with its
largest distributor in the market last month. "We have continued to expand our direct sales force and our account transition program is on schedule. We believe this transition will enable us to develop closer relationships with our customers in Japan, while enabling us to implement the kinds of sales and marketing initiatives that have made us successful in other geographies. In addition, going direct provides us significant financial advantages, including higher revenues per disposable and increased gross margin and operating income on those revenues," Huennekens
noted. 2009 Guidance
The company continues to expect revenues for fiscal 2009 will be in the range
of $218-$223 million, or an increase of 27-30 percent over revenues in
2008.
The company continues to expect gross margins
for the full year will be in the range of 59-60 percent, including additional
depreciation of approximately $775,000 through the balance of the year related
to the distributor transition in Japan. Operating expenses continue to be
expected in the range of 67-69 percent, including stock-based compensation
expense of approximately $12.0 million, intangible amortization of approximately
$4.2 million and approximately $3.5 million in Goodman commissions. The outlook
for operating expenses reflects increased spending in Japan, expansions of
sales and marketing programs in other geographies, G&A to support the
growth of the company and litigation-related expenses. The company also expects
a modest increase in research and development spending to fund product development
programs, clinical trials and regulatory activities. The company continues to expect to report a net loss on a GAAP basis of $0.38-$0.43 per share. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of approximately $12.0 million and Goodman commissions of approximately $3.5 million, the company expects to report a net loss of $0.06-$0.11 per share. Weighted average shares outstanding at year-end 2009 are expected to be approximately 48.7 million basic shares and 50.0 million shares on a diluted basis.

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 and for forecasting and planning future
periods. 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. Forward-Looking Statements
