DATE: November 4, 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMERICAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS AND STRONG EARNINGS GROWTH
| • | | Earnings per share (excluding IPRD) of $0.14 grows 56 percent over prior year; reported earnings of $0.08 down 11 percent |
|
| • | | Implantable businesses grow 15 percent |
|
| • | | Continued strong cash flow driven by expense management and working capital optimization |
MINNEAPOLIS, November 4, 2008 — American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMMD) reported revenue of $117.5 million for the third quarter of 2008, a 7.7 percent increase over sales of $109.0 million in the comparable quarter of 2007. Currency translation had a positive impact on revenue of $2.1 million in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. Third quarter 2008 adjusted net income of $10.3 million, or $0.14 per share, excludes the impact of an in-process research and development (IPRD) charge and represents a 49.3 percent and 55.6 percent increase over third quarter 2007 net income of $6.9 million, or $0.09 per share, respectively. Third quarter 2008 reported net income of $5.7 million, or $0.08 per share, includes a $7.5 million IPRD charge related to a milestone payment on the 2006 acquisition of BioControl. The Company also reported a strong cash EPS performance in the third quarter of 2008 of $0.20 per share compared to $0.17 per share in the comparable period last year, a 17.6 percent growth, reflecting solid expense and working capital management. A reconciliation of net income from continuing operations, the GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash earnings per share, to non-GAAP cash earnings per share, is provided on the attached schedule.
Excluding the impact of the laser therapy business, the men’s health business grew 12.2 percent during the quarter, to $53.8 million, driven by strong growth in male continence. Male continence continued its record setting year driven by the success of theAdVance®Male Sling System and the sustained strength of the artificial urinary sphincter product family. Revenue from the laser therapy business declined 6.2 percent from the same quarter last year.
The women’s health business grew 11.9 percent during the quarter, to $39.3 million. This performance was led by the female continence business which continues to benefit from last year’s introduction of theMiniArc®single incision sling system used for treating female stress incontinence. The prolapse business experienced growth similar to the second quarter, increasing about 7.0 percent year-over-year. TheElevate® posterior product used in prolapse repair was recently introduced and we look forward to the 2009 launch of theElevate® anterior product. The growth in female continence and prolapse businesses was partially offset by a decline in the uterine health business compared to the same quarter last year.
“I am pleased with the continued success of our implantable businesses, which consist of Male Continence, Erectile Restoration, Female Continence, and Prolapse Repair,” noted Tony Bihl,

Chief Executive Officer. “Through innovative products, market leadership, and a respected name among physicians, we have been able to deliver solid growth in the current economic environment.”
Mr. Bihl further elaborated, “Although it appears that world economic conditions are having some impact on procedures considered more elective in nature, and those involving capital equipment, I am confident in the underlying fundamentals of the business and our ability to leverage our resources, optimize our balance sheet, and drive our earnings and cash flow from operations.”
A reconciliation of reported net income from continuing operations to net income from continuing operations, as adjusted for the impact of the in-process research and development charge in the third quarter of 2008, which affects comparability between periods, is presented below.

Outlook
The Company expects its fourth quarter 2008 revenue to be in the range of $126 million to $132 million, which results in expected 2008 full year revenue in the range of $494 million to $500 million. Reflecting the strong earnings performance experienced in the first three quarters, the Company expects fourth quarter earnings per share in the range of $0.21 to $0.25 and full year 2008 earnings per share, as adjusted, in the range of $0.65 to $0.69. Similarly, the Company has updated its 2008 cash earnings per share guidance to be in the range of $0.92 to $0.96. This guidance excludes the impact of the IPRD charge recognized in the third quarter 2008, which

reduced reported net earnings per share by $0.06, and any potential future unusual non-recurring charges that could occur in 2008, which management believes impact comparability between periods.
A reconciliation of the updated guided net income per share, as adjusted, to non-GAAP cash earnings per share is as follows:

(a) | | Excludes the impact of third quarter 2008 in-process research and development, net of tax, of $4.6 million, or $0.06 per share |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share because management believes that in order to properly understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, both the Company’s investors and management may wish to consider the impact of certain adjustments, such as IPRD charges resulting from previous acquisitions, and their related tax impacts. These adjustments result from facts and circumstances (such as business development activities) that vary in frequency and impact on the Company’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the Company, as well as to allow comparability between periods.
Cash earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure that management believes provides useful supplemental information for management and investors, because it reports the net income from continuing operations, as adjusted for items which impact comparability between periods, such as IPRD, excluding the impact of significant non-cash items consisting of amortization of intangibles, amortization of financing costs and stock based compensation. Management believes cash earnings per share provides a useful measure to determine the health of the business and earnings generated by the business before significant non-cash charges. A reconciliation of net income from continuing operations, the GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash earnings per share to non-GAAP cash earnings per share, is provided on the attached schedule.
Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
