Stereotaxis Reports Continued Strong Growth in Third Quarter 2007

Record Backlog of Approximately $58 Million

New Features and Expanded Market Potential Provide Broad Platform for 2008 Growth

 

St. Louis, MO, November 8, 2007—Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS) today reported record revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Revenue for the third quarter increased 58% to $12.0 million, compared with $7.6 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2006. Revenue from Niobe™ systems sales grew 49% to $9.5 million compared with $6.4 million in the 2006 third quarter, due to an increase in the number of systems sold during the quarter and a higher average selling price. Disposables, services and accessories revenue also set a record, increasing 101% to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2006. The Company recognized the sales of nine new systems during the third quarter, bringing the total placements of Niobe systems to 86 worldwide.

 

Purchase orders and other commitments for Niobe systems totaled approximately $58 million, including $13.5 million added during the third quarter. These commitments are subject to contingencies that are outside the Company’s control and may be revised, modified or cancelled. At September 30, 2007, the Company had more than 275 accounts in its mid to late stage pipeline and 350 accounts in the early development stage.

 

“We generated record revenue in the third quarter, while increasing our backlog position to $58 million despite the delayed launch of the much anticipated irrigated catheter in both Europe and the United States,” said Bevil Hogg, Chief Executive Officer of Stereotaxis. “In addition, we posted a nearly 15 percentage point increase in our gross profit margin, reflecting both higher ASPs on our Niobe system combined with lower system costs. While achieving these results, we have also remained focused on building a broad and deep platform that positions us for an outstanding 2008.

 

“The long awaited launch of the irrigated catheter has begun in Europe. The first procedures using the catheter were very successful and we continue to believe that our partnered irrigated catheter will receive FDA approval by year-end with initial shipments scheduled in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2008. The launch in Europe will continue on a phased and controlled basis into early 2008. Based on initial clinician feedback, we expect the

 


 

irrigated catheter to be a major contributor to our future growth, especially in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, which afflicts more than five million people worldwide.

 

“Another component of the platform we have built to fuel growth in 2008 is NaviLine™, a new, automated linear navigation software. With NaviLine, the Niobe system is able to guide a catheter along complex anatomy defined in advance by the physician. In one very recent case, NaviLine guided the irrigated catheter to perform a left circumferential ablation, navigating such complex areas as the appendage ridge, mitral isthmus, atrial roof and posterior wall, entirely without manual intervention. The automated nature of the navigation also allows the clinician to verify the therapeutic result by accurately retracing the previously mapped pathways in the heart. We believe that with our partnered irrigated catheter combined with NaviLine software, we will set a new standard of care in the performance of complex electrophysiology ablation procedures, particularly the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

 

“During the third quarter, we also began installation of our first Odyssey™ systems, a proprietary Stereotaxis design that consolidates the multiple information sources and systems within a traditional electrophysiology lab into a single user interface. Odyssey can connect multiple EP labs to one another for real-time clinical support during procedures. Early feedback confirms that Odyssey is adding to the simplicity and efficiency offered by the Niobe system during electrophysiology procedures.

 

“The benefits and capabilities of our magnetic navigation system in interventional cardiology were readily apparent during demonstrations at the recent TCT Symposium where our Niobe system was used to perform three live percutaneous coronary and peripheral procedures, including a coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). Our system produced excellent patient results and demonstrated that Stereotaxis’ 3D vessel roadmaps, and distal tip control can be employed very successfully in a variety of vascular interventions, thereby expanding the potential market opportunity for the system. To further enhance our opportunities in the interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular markets, we expect to be submitting 510k applications to the FDA for our new RF guidewire and our new family of blended wires in the near-term.

 

“The result of our development efforts in 2007 to date is that we are now positioned to offer electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists and peripheral vascular specialists the opportunity to complete complex procedures in shorter procedure time and with the assurances of an unmatched safety record at a lower cost of ownership than competitive technologies. We believe no one in our industry comes close to offering the clinician, the administrator and the patient the benefits and return on investment that Stereotaxis does and this is a major factor behind the more than 11,000 cases performed on a Niobe system to date. As a result, we are enthusiastic about our prospects for substantial growth in 2008. At the same time, while we believe our original goals for 2007 revenue growth are still attainable, the delay in the release of the irrigated catheter until the last few days of our expected timeframe presents a challenge that we are working very hard to overcome,” Mr. Hogg concluded.

 

Third Quarter Financial Performance

 

Gross profit totaled $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, nearly 67% of revenue. This compares with gross profit of $4.0 million, or 52% of revenue in the third quarter of 2006. The improvement in the gross profit margin in 2007 is primarily the result of a 16% year over year increase in the average selling price of Niobe systems and improvements in the average system cost.

 

Total operating expenses increased 19% to $18.7 million in the quarter, compared with $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase was driven by higher sales and marketing expense, as well as increased research and development related to expenses for new product introductions and further device development.

 


 

The Company reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2007 of $10.4 million, or $(0.29) per share. This compares to a net loss of $11.4 million, or $(0.34) per share, in the third quarter of 2006. The weighted average shares for the recent third quarter were 36.3 million compared with 33.5 million in the third quarter of last year. The increase in weighted average shares reflected the issuance of 1.9 million shares in a sale of common stock in a registered direct offering completed in March 2007 pursuant to a shelf registration as well as the exercise of warrants in late 2006.

 

For the first nine months of 2007, revenue totaled $29.0 million compared with revenue of $13.2 million for the first nine months of 2006. The Company reported a net loss of $35.9 million through the recent first nine month period versus a net loss of $39.6 million for the first nine months of 2006. On a per share basis, the first nine months net loss in 2007 was $(1.01) compared with $(1.21) in the comparable period of 2006.

 

Cash and investments at September 30, 2007 totaled $28.6 million, compared with $37.0 million at December 31, 2006 and $32.8 million at June 30, 2007. Total debt was $2.2 million at September 30, 2007.

About Stereotaxis

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of coronary artery disease and arrhythmias. The Stereotaxis System is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, shorter procedure time and reduced x-ray exposure. The core components of the Stereotaxis system have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
