Second Quarter Results
The Company reported net sales of $1.184 billion in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 4 percent compared with the $1.136 billion in the second quarter of 2008.

Commenting on the Company’s growth program, St. Jude Medical Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel J. Starks said, “Sales results met or exceeded guidance in each of our four major growth programs during the second quarter. We are pleased with our currency neutral sales growth of 14 percent for the first half of 2009, and we reaffirm our guidance for full year 2009 earnings in the range of $2.48 to $2.54.”

On a currency neutral basis, total CRM sales grew 5 percent over the comparable quarter in 2008.
Of that total, ICD product sales were $400 million in the second quarter, a 1 percent decrease compared with the second quarter of 2008. ICD revenue grew 4 percent after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency.

Total cardiovascular sales, which primarily include vascular closure and heart valve products, were $243 million for the second quarter of 2009, a 7 percent increase over the second quarter of 2008. On a currency neutral basis, total cardiovascular sales grew 13 percent over the comparable quarter in 2008. This product category now includes sales of products that St. Jude Medical acquired from Radi Medical Systems AB in December 2008.
Sales of vascular closure products in the second quarter of 2009 were $99 million, a 2 percent increase over the second quarter of 2008. Vascular closure product sales grew 9 percent after adjusting for the impact of foreign currency.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of St. Jude Medical common stock. The Company intends to repurchase the shares in the second half of 2009 through the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
“The Board’s decision to adopt a new stock repurchase program reflects our continued commitment to enhancing shareholder value and our confidence in St. Jude Medical’s multiple growth platforms,” said Starks.
Third Quarter and Full Year 2009 Sales and Earnings Guidance
During a conference call today, St. Jude Medical will provide its range for revenue expectations for the third quarter and full year by product category.
The Company expects its consolidated earnings for the third quarter of 2009 to be in the range of $0.61 to $0.63 per diluted share and for full-year 2009 reconfirms guidance in the range of $2.48 to $2.54.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share because St. Jude Medical management believes that in order to properly understand the Company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of certain adjustments (such as in-process research and development charges, impairment charges, restructuring charges, litigation charges or litigation reserve adjustments and income tax adjustments). These adjustments result from facts and circumstances (such as business development activities, restructuring activities, asset impairment events or developments, settlements and other developments relating to litigation and resolution of audits by tax authorities) that vary in frequency and impact on the Company’s results of operations. St. Jude Medical 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 compare results of current periods to prior periods on a consolidated basis.
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.
