(NASDAQ: ATRC), a medical device company and a leader in cardiac surgical ablation systems, today announced first quarter 2009 revenues of $13.7 million. Revenues grew 1.1% over the first quarter of 2008 and 13.3% over the fourth quarter of 2008. "We are pleased with our first quarter results and remain confident that, despite a challenging environment, AtriCure is uniquely positioned in high growth markets with the right technologies, capabilities and people. Furthermore, the decisive actions that we implemented during the fourth quarter of 2008, which were aimed at further aligning costs and revenues in order to achieve profitability, are fueling momentum and gaining traction. These actions contributed to positive adjusted EBITDA for the first time since becoming a public company and, importantly, we achieved this major milestone during what has historically been our heaviest spend quarter," said David J. Drachman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, we are pleased that our financial performance and growth opportunities provide us with the ability to secure financial resources with attractive terms. This credit facility strengthens our balance sheet and further supports our ability to execute our strategy." Financial Results Revenues for the first quarter of 2009 were $13.7 million, a 1.1% increase over first quarter 2008 revenues of $13.5 million. Revenues from domestic open-heart products increased 2.5% to $7.1 million and revenues from domestic minimally invasive products declined from $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2008 to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2009. As compared with the fourth quarter of 2008, revenues from domestic open heart and minimally invasive products increased 18.4% and 6.6%, respectively. International revenues grew 37.9%, or 48.9% on an exchange rate neutral basis, to $2.3 million. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 was $10.7 million and gross margin was 78.5%, compared to gross profit of $10.3 million and gross margin of 76.1% for the first quarter of 2008. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a reduction in product cost and a reduced mix of revenues from capital equipment, partially offset by an increase in international revenues. Operating expenses, including a $6.8 million goodwill impairment charge, which was recorded as a result of a reduction in AtriCure's market capitalization, increased 31.5% from $14.2 million to $18.7 million. Operating expenses, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, were $11.8 million or a 16.5% reduction for the first quarter of 2009, driven primarily by a reduction in headcount related expenses, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense and an increase in costs associated with clinical trials and product development activities. Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2009 was $7.9 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment, loss from operations was $1.1 million, a record low and a 71.3% improvement over the first quarter 2008 operating loss of $3.9 million. The net loss including the goodwill impairment charge was $8.0 million, or $0.56 per share and $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, excluding the goodwill impairment charge for the first quarter of 2009. The net loss excluding the goodwill impairment charge improved $2.5 million or 68.0% to $1.2 million as compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2008. Net loss per share excluding the goodwill impairment charge improved 68.0% to $0.08 as compared with $0.25 for the first quarter of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.6 million, an improvement of $3.2 million as compared with a loss of $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2008. Cash and cash equivalents were $8.6 million at March 31, 2009 and no debt was outstanding on our credit facility. $10 Million Credit Facility On May 1, 2009 the Company entered into a $10 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. The three year facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $10 million and consists of a $6.5 million term loan, which was funded at closing and bears interest at 10%, and a $10 million revolving loan facility. The existing credit facility with National City Bank, which did not have any amounts outstanding currently or as of March 31, 2009, has been terminated. Cryo1 Cryo-Ablation System On March 2, 2009 the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared AtriCure's Cryo1 probe for the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. On March 27, 2009 the first human case was performed using AtriCure's Cryo1 system and a full commercial release of the product is planned for June 2009. "We are encouraged by the initial outcomes and physician feedback related to our Cryo1 system, and we believe its superior design and performance will drive market share gains," said David Drachman. EXCLUDE Clinical Trial EXCLUDE, a clinical trial in support of a 510(k) filing for AtriCure's left atrial appendage exclusion system, was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008. To date, 64 patients have been enrolled in the trial and we expect to complete full enrollment during May. "We are encouraged by the rapid enrollment as well as the performance of our system. We look forward to clearance from the FDA and the product launch for this key innovation, which represents a large and exciting new growth platform," said David Drachman.

Highlighted customer testimonials below - learn about their experiences and savings at www.sun.com/customers -- "Motionbox offers something unique - a safe, friendly, private online resource for individuals and families to store and share video in vivid HD quality. This naturally demands that we engineer a well tuned, highly responsive storage environment, and we have built just that around the Sun Storage 7410. My team was immediately abuzz when the 7000 series hit the market last fall. This solution was the best deal on high-capacity storage that we'd ever seen. Most important, however, the 7000 series is equally adept at serving both high-traffic videos and the 'long tail' of user-generated content - all on a single unit. Because our 7410 cluster comes configured with sizeable amounts of read & write cache, it can effortlessly serve content and support lots of transcoding operations across a wide spectrum of video usage patterns and the full path of a video's lifecycle. Sun unified storage gives us the flexibility to tune and configure multiple instances of the same device for throughput or capacity or whatever our needs may be. Thanks, too, to the Sun Startup Essentials program, where I got the opportunity to discuss in-depth with Sun engineers to validate the best storage architecture to meet our intense demands." - Chris Brown, VP Engineering, Motionbox. Inc. -- "During our evaluation of the OpenStorage 7410, we found that the combination of read and write biased flash storage and disk outperformed systems with four to five times the number of spinning disks (and without any read write flash). We are still evaluating these units for use in a customer facing capacity, but we are definitely going to use these units in a data retention and data processing capacity. The expandability and the analytics capabilities offered by the Sun Storage 7410 units are very enticing to us, and may allow us to make some major changes to the architecture of our storage systems," said Joshua Barratt, CTO, Media Temple. -- "After testing and optimizing the Sun unified storage solution, we were surprised and impressed to discover that Sun's open solution was interoperable with our existing broadcast infrastructure. By prioritizing video applications, we were also able to use the solution with virtualization in our IT operation. We had considered a competitive NAS solution, but the cost was 25% greater and didn't give us the necessary throughput. Ultimately, the combination of exceptional value, capacity, tuning of applications and Sun's analytics led us to consolidate all data for both our IT and broadcast infrastructures on a Sun unified storage system," said Regis Harrison, director of production and technologies, TV5 Canada. In addition, over 30 new independent software vendors and partners have certified applications for the Sun Unified Storage Systems, including VMware and Symantec. With new tools like the Hands on Lab, the channel has had a major impact in the dramatic sales growth for the Sun Unified Storage Systems. New Mid-Market Solution for Sun Storage 7000 Sun also recently expanded its portfolio of mid-market solutions with the introduction of an Open Archive solution that pairs the Sun Storage 7110 and 7210 Unified Storage Systems and ultra-scalable Sun Fire(TM) X4140 and Sun Fire(TM) X4240 servers with industry-leading Symantec Enterprise Vault 8 software. The resulting Open Archive solution for mid-sized companies delivers tested and optimized storage and server configurations that make it easy for customers to very simply archive many different types of data, such as files/records, email, instant messaging and sharepoint content while ensuring data integrity. By using four times less power and half the footprint, the Sun and Symantec Open Archive Solution can significantly reduce storage costs, minimizing management complexity and increasing storage ROI.
