May 3, 2010 -- San Diego -- Volcano Corporation (Nasdaq: VOLC), a leading developer and manufacturer of precision intravascular therapy guidance tools designed to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and peripheral vascular disease, said today that revenues for the first quarter of 2010 increased 36 percent over the first quarter of 2009.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Volcano reported revenues of $66.6 million compared with revenues of $49.0 million a year ago. For the first quarter of 2010, the company reported a net loss on a GAAP basis of $4.0 million, or $0.08 per share, versus a net loss on a GAAP basis of $7.6 million, or $0.16 per share, in the same period a year ago.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $3.1 million and $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, Volcano reported a net loss on a non-GAAP basis of $921,000, or $0.02 per share, versus a net loss on a non-GAAP basis of $4.9 million, or $0.10 per share, in the first quarter of 2009.
"We continued to execute on our growth strategies by increasing the installed base of our multi-modality platforms and generating increased market share and utilization for our offerings," said Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer. "Key drivers of our year-over-year growth included a 58 percent increase in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) disposable revenues in Japan, 46 percent growth in our U.S. functional measurement (FM) disposable sales and increased market penetration in Europe, where IVUS and FM disposable revenues increased 32 percent and 92 percent, respectively," he
continued. "During the quarter, we continued our sales force expansion initiative and benefitted from our transition to a direct sales model in Japan. In addition, we pursued technology innovation and expect to introduce five product enhancements or new offerings during the balance of the year as we increase momentum, expand our tools to serve patients and clinicians and leverage our multi-modality platform. We also have more than one dozen clinical trials involving our current or future product offerings either underway or expected to begin enrollment in the near future," he
added. Guidance for 2010
The company reconfirmed prior guidance for fiscal 2010.

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 (GAAP) in the United States
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 results
from factors and circumstances that vary in frequency and/or impact on continuing
operations. Our management believes that these items are not reflective of
our core operating activities and should be excluded when comparing our current
operating results with those of prior periods. In addition, stock-based compensation
is a non-cash expense. Finally, our management uses results of operations before
certain charges to evaluate the operational performance of the company, 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, and are encouraged to review
the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed
below.
