July 30, 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 in the second quarter
of 2010 increased 36 percent versus revenues in the second quarter
of 2009.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Volcano reported
record quarterly revenues of $73.5 million, compared with
revenues of $54.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. |
For the second quarter of 2010, the company reported record net income on a GAAP basis of $5.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, versus a GAAP net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.11 per share, in the second quarter of 2009.
Excluding stock-based compensation and in-process research and development expense of $3.1 million, the company reported net income of $8.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. 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.
For the first six months of 2010, Volcano reported revenues of $140.0 million, a 36 percent increase over revenues of $103.0 million in the same period a year ago. The company reported GAAP net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2010. This compares with a GAAP net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.27 per share, in the same period in 2009. Excluding stock-based compensation and in-process research and development expense of $6.3 million, Volcano reported net income of $7.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2010. In the first six months of 2009, excluding stock-based compensation expense of $5.6 million, Volcano reported a net loss of $7.3 million, or $0.15 per share.
"We continued to drive growth in both our intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Functional Measurement (FM) businesses, which grew 25 and 51 percent year-over-year, respectively. In the quarter, overall IVUS disposable revenues increased 29 percent versus the prior year, and our FM business increased 50 percent in both the U.S. and Europe," said
Scott Huennekens, president and chief executive officer. "During the quarter, we introduced significant enhancements to our IVUS and FM disposables and our multi-modality console operating software, and commenced the European launch of our VIBE RX Vascular Imaging Catheter. In addition, we completed a number of cases utilizing the latest version of our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) catheter and system," he
added. Volcano also announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fluid Medical Inc., a privately held company that is developing advanced catheter-based forward-looking imaging technology, for $4.2 million in cash. The company expects to close the transaction next week. There are no additional royalty or milestone payments to stockholders of Fluid Medical associated with the transaction.
"This transaction represents another milestone in the expansion of our multi-modality platform strategy to create competitive differentiation for Volcano. We are acquiring technology and IP providing a forward field of view imaging on highly maneuverable catheters that have the potential to enable or enhance visualization for procedures currently done with inadequate imaging," noted Huennekens. "This technology is expected to result in a Forward-Looking Intra-Cardiac Echo (FL.ICE) catheter that will initially be focused on minimally invasive structural heart applications, such as percutaneous aortic and mitral valve therapies," he
added.
Guidance for 2010
The company provided updated guidance
for fiscal 2010. It now expects that total revenues for fiscal 2010
will be in the range of $286-$290 million. This compares with prior
expectations of $277-$282 million. Revenues from Axsun's industrial
segment, are expected to be approximately $24 million. This compares
with prior expectations for revenues from Axsun's industrial segment
of approximately $17 million, and reflects continued growth in the
high capacity telecom optical network infrastructure that supports
the global expansions of data and video utilization.
The company expects that gross margins in 2010 will continue to be in the range of 62-63 percent. Operating expenses for all of 2010 are expected to be in the range of 58-60 percent of revenues. The expectations for operating expenses include increased research and development costs related to development of the Fluid Medical technology and increased litigation expenses. Net interest income is expected to be approximately $400,000 versus previous expectations of $450,000.
The company expects earnings per share for all of 2010 will continue to be in the range of $0.05-$0.10 per diluted share. The company expects that weighted average shares on a diluted basis at the end of 2010 will be approximately 53 million. The company continues to expect that excluding stock-based compensation expense, net income will be $0.30-$0.35 per diluted share.

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, including in-process research and development charges
related to milestones of the December 2007 acquisition of CardioSpectra,
Inc. 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.
