ENDOLOGIX REPORTS 2007 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Powerlink System Sales Increased by 134%;
Ninth Quarter of Domestic Sales Growth
IRVINE, Calif. (April 26, 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 ended March 31, 2007.
“We are reporting another quarter of solid revenue growth as Powerlink System sales increased 134% year-over-year and 37% sequentially. We are also announcing our ninth consecutive quarter of domestic sales growth, and are encouraged by the increasing usage of the Powerlink System by U.S. physicians,” said Endologix President and Chief Executive Officer Paul McCormick.
“Additionally, we are making progress with product enhancements that simplify the procedure even for patients with complex anatomies,” he added. “To this end, we are exceptionally pleased to report the initial successful implantations of the Powerlink endoluminal stent graft incorporating our new Visiflex SurePass Delivery System™. This next-generation system provides physicians with additional confidence, particularly when treating patients with complex iliac anatomies.”
First Quarter Financial Results
Total product revenue in the first quarter of 2007 was $6.3 million, a 134% increase from $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2006 and a 37% increase from $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Domestic product revenue increased by 142% to $5.1 million, compared with $2.1 million in the 2006 first quarter, and by 25% sequentially from $4.1 million in the 2006 fourth quarter. International product revenue of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2007 more than doubled from both $559,000 during the comparable quarter last year and $456,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006. Part of this latter increase was driven by stocking orders from our new distributor for most of Europe, LeMaitre Vascular, Inc.
Gross profit of $3.7 million was 59% of revenue in the first quarter of 2007. This compares with $1.6 million and 59%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2006. The cost impact from the higher purchase price of a key raw material component was offset by the stronger mix of direct U.S. commercial sales which generate higher average selling prices, compared with international sales made to distributors.

Total operating expenses were $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2007, versus $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase reflects the almost doubling of the domestic sales force which fueled the 142% increase in domestic sales between those periods. Consequently, marketing and sales expenses increased to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $2.6 million in the comparable quarter last year. Research, development and clinical expenses for the first three months of 2007 were $1.6 million versus $1.7 million last year, and general and administrative expenses were $1.6 unchanged from $1.6 million last year. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2007 included $460,000 of stock based compensation, compared with $348,000 in the first quarter of 2006.
Endologix reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2007 of $4.4 million, or $0.10 per share, compared with net a loss of $4.1 million, or $0.11 per share, for the first quarter of 2006.

About Endologix
Endologix, Inc. develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for vascular diseases. Endologix’s Powerlink System is an endoluminal stent graft 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 Web site atwww.endologix.com.
