ENDOLOGIX REPORTS 139% INCREASE IN FOURTH QUARTER PRODUCT SALES
Announces eighth sequential quarter of U.S. sales growth
Introduces 2007 financial guidance
IRVINE, Calif. (February 22, 2007)— Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX), developer and manufacturer of the Powerlink® System endoluminal stent graft (ELG) for the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), today announced financial results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
“Our strategy to accelerate domestic sales is proving effective as evidenced by eight quarters of domestic sales increases,” said Endologix President and Chief Executive Officer Paul McCormick. “Among our key growth initiatives last year was to build out our domestic sales force, focusing on recruiting professionals with strong clinical backgrounds. We ended the year on target with qualified sales representatives in 45 territories. In past quarters, we have shown the strong correlation between our sales representatives’ tenure and their productivity, and we expect increasing revenue contributions from our sales force this year as the overall tenure of our sales representatives increases.
“We have transitioned distribution of the Powerlink System in key European markets from Edwards Lifesciences AG to LeMaitre Vascular. We believe the Powerlink System is synergistic with LeMaitre’s products and focus, and the Powerlink System will garner the support of that organization,” added Mr. McCormick. “In Japan, our expectation is to gain regulatory approval for the Powerlink System in the first half of this year with a commercial product introduction in the second half of 2007.”
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $4.6 million, up 139% from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 and up 21% from $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2006. Domestic product revenue was $4.1 million, up 135% compared with $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and up 21% from $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2006. International product revenue of $456,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006 compares with $160,000 during the comparable quarter last year and $372,000 in the third quarter of 2006.
The Company reported that domestic product revenue for all periods predominantly represents product usage.

Gross profit of $2.8 million was 59% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006. This compares with $196,000 and 10%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2005, which was impacted by a charge of approximately $1.0 million related to the voluntary product recall and assembler re-training. Gross profit in the 2006 third quarter was $2.3 million and 60% of total revenue.
Total operating expenses were $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The 2006 period included $518,000 as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, on January 1, 2006. The remaining increase primarily reflects the ongoing build out and training of the domestic sales force. Marketing and sales expenses increased to $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 from $3.1 million in the comparable quarter last year.
Endologix reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2006 of $4.9 million, or $0.11 per share, which compares with a net loss of $5.7 million, or $0.16 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2006 included $555,000, or $0.01 per share, for stock-based compensation expense.
2006 Financial Results
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, product revenue increased by 109% to $14.4 million, compared with $6.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Gross profit of $8.3 million was 57% of total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. This compares with $3.3 million and 46%, respectively, in the twelve months of 2005. A charge of $326,000 related to the final phase of the Company’s voluntary product recall was incurred in the second quarter of 2006. As discussed above, 2005 was impacted by a charge of approximately $1.0 million related to the voluntary product recall and assembler re-training.
Total operating expenses for the twelve months of 2006 were $26.9 million, versus $19.4 million in the comparable period in 2005. The increase in operating expenses was due primarily to the development of the Company’s direct sales force and the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
Endologix reported a net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 of $17.5 million, or $0.44 per share, compared with a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.46 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The net loss for the twelve months of 2006 included $1.6 million, or $0.04 per share, for stock-based compensation expense.
Total cash and marketable securities as of December 31, 2006 was $20.2 million, compared with total cash and marketable securities as of December 31, 2005 of $17.7 million. Endologix yesterday reported that it has obtained from Silicon Valley Bank a two-year $5 million revolving line of credit.

About Endologix
Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for vascular diseases. Endologix Powerlink System is an endoluminal stent graft (ELG) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 75%, making it the thirteenth leading cause of death in the U.S. In October 2004, Endologix received approval to market the Powerlink System in the U.S. Additional information can be found on Endologix’s website atwww.endologix.com.
