Stereotaxis Reports 16% Revenue Increase in the Fourth Quarter 2009

New Orders Up 22% Sequentially; Second Consecutive Quarterly Increase

Recurring Revenue Reaches Record $5.1 Million

Cash Burn Declines to $2.9 Million

Full Year 2009 Revenue Up 27%; Gross Margin Percentage of 67%; Operating Expenses Decrease 14%

St. Louis, MO, February 25, 2010 —Stereotaxis, Inc. (NASDAQ: STXS) today reported its financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenue for the recent fourth quarter grew 16% to $14.1 million compared with $12.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The Company recognized revenue on six Niobe^® Magnetic Navigation Systems, nine Odyssey™ systems and four Odyssey Cinema™ systems, totaling $9.0 million. Disposables, services and accessories revenue set another record at $5.1 million, a 51% increase from the fourth quarter of 2008, attributable to favorable pricing and procedure growth. The 2009 fourth quarter operating loss decreased 9% to $5.8 million from $6.4 million in 2008.

For the full year 2009, revenue grew 27% to $51.1 million compared with $40.4 million in 2008. Recurring revenue increased 54% to $18.5 million from $12.0 million in 2008. Gross margin for the year was up 30% to $34.1 million, or 66.7% of sales, compared with 64.9% of sales in 2008. Operating expenses decreased 14%, resulting in a 42% reduction in the operating loss to $23.8 million in 2009 compared with the $41.0 million operating loss in 2008.

Michael P. Kaminski, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very pleased with our financial performance in 2009. Both systems revenue and revenue from disposables and services grew substantially during the year. During the quarter, we generated new orders totaling $7.7 million, up from $6.3 million in the third quarter and just $5.0 million in the second. The increase in orders is an indication that capital spending by hospitals is improving. The Odyssey platform continues to gain recognition in the market. There was substantial interest in the Odyssey platform at the Atrial Fibrillation Symposium in Boston last month. Physicians recognize Odyssey’s value in integration of diverse sources of diagnostic and other patient information into a single format, which provides improved efficiency, enhanced archiving and a unique opportunity to network labs and sites. We anticipate significant Odyssey revenue in 2010 from non-magnetic labs. We anticipate the economic recovery in the U.S. to result in increased commitments from hospitals for new capital projects. From a financial perspective, we are committed to driving revenue growth, generating solid gross profit margins and controlling our expenses,” Mr. Kaminski concluded.

Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Performance

Gross margin for the quarter was $9.5 million, or 67.3% of revenue, compared with $8.2 million, or 67.6% of revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Fourth quarter operating expenses increased 5% to $15.3 million from $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year as 2008 benefited from the reversal of certain non-cash compensation costs related to stock compensation programs. Cash burn improved 36% to $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with $4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The operating loss in the fourth quarter decreased 9% to $(5.8) million compared with $(6.4) million in the prior year. The Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $(6.7) million, or $(0.14) per share. This compares with a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $(7.5) million, or $(0.20) per share. The weighted average shares for the recent fourth quarter totaled 48.4 million compared with 36.7 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The increase was due in large part to the issuance of 7,475,000 shares as part of the secondary stock offering completed in October 2009.

Cash and equivalents at December 31, 2009 totaled $30.5 million, compared with $30.4 million at December 31, 2008. Included in the cash position at the end of 2009 was approximately $27.8 million in net proceeds received from the stock offering during the fourth quarter. Total debt was $23.7 million, including $10 million drawn against the Company’s $30 million line of credit. As previously disclosed, in October 2009 the Company received a commitment to expand its line of credit from $25 million to $30 million and to extend the maturity date from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

2010 Financial Guidance

• New capital order growth in excess of 40%

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. Stereotaxis’ Odyssey solutions integrate and manage information from disparate information sources, eliminating the challenge of interacting simultaneously with many separate diagnostic systems, driving optimized workflow and improved productivity. The core components of the Stereotaxis system have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Europe and Canada.

This press release includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements, usually containing the words “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, continued acceptance for the Company’s products in the marketplace, the effect of global credit and economic conditions on the ability and willingness of customers to purchase our systems, competitive factors, changes in government reimbursement procedures, dependence upon third-party vendors, timing of regulatory approval and return of the irrigated catheter to the market, and other risks discussed in the Company’s periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release. There can be no assurance that the Company will recognize revenue related to its purchase orders and other commitments in any particular period or at all because some of these purchase orders and other commitments are subject to contingencies that are outside of the Company’s control. In addition, these orders and commitments may be revised, modified or canceled, either by their express terms, as a result of negotiations, or by project changes or delays.
