"2010 was a transformational year for Hansen Medical, as we delivered on the foundational elements that we believe are necessary to reach commercial excellence in the coming year and beyond," said Bruce Barclay, president and chief executive officer of Hansen Medical. "In fulfillment of several commitments made early in my tenure, we launched new products, including our new Lynx irrigated ablation catheter, received unconditional approval for an IDE study for Atrial Fibrillation (AF), completed a first-in-man clinical study with our flexible catheter vascular system, expanded our relationship with key business partners that included deepening our relationship with Philips, expanded our intellectual property portfolio, and appointed talented industry executives to execute on our strategic initiatives. We are beginning 2011 with positive momentum and a strengthened balance sheet, excited about the approaching commercial launch of our flexible catheter vascular system which we expect will accelerate market adoption of flexible robotics and expand our customer base over the coming 12 months."

2010 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $3.5 million compared to revenue of $7.2 million in the same period in 2009. Procedures performed in the period with company products grew to a record 647 worldwide. During the fourth quarter, the company recognized revenue on two Sensei Robotic Systems as well as shipment of 666 catheters. The company shipped a total of three systems all of which will be recognized as revenue as they are installed and physicians are trained. As of December 31, 2010, the company had a total deferred revenue balance of $11.6 million that includes shipment of 16 Sensei systems that have not been recognized as revenue.

Cost of revenues for this year's fourth quarter was $3.5 million and included non-cash stock compensation expense of $202,000. As a result, gross profit for the quarter was $(59,000) and gross margin was negative 1.7 percent. This compares to gross profit of $2.4 million and gross margin of 33.2 percent for the same period in 2009, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $170,000.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter 2010, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $401,000, were $3.2 million, compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2009, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $503,000. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily the result of an offset to the company's research and development costs arising from the financial accounting for the company's receipt of a product development milestone payment under the joint development agreement with Philips.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $807,000, were $7.6 million, compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2009, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $577,000. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreased employee-related expenses and a decrease in legal costs primarily associated with the Luna litigation in 2009.

Net loss for the fourth quarter 2010, including total non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.4 million, was $11.0 million, or $0.20 loss per share, based on average shares outstanding of 53.8 million shares. This compares favorably with a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million, of $11.7 million, or $0.31 loss per share, based on average shares outstanding of 37.5 million shares.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2010 were $28.0 million, compared to $28.3 million as of December 31, 2009. The flat cash balance is due primarily to the net proceeds of approximately $29.8 million raised from the public offering completed in April 2010 largely offset by the expenses of the company's operations during 2010.

2010 Full-Year Financial Results

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $16.6 million, compared to $22.2 million for 2009. The company shipped 16 Sensei Robotic Catheter Systems, 2,439 catheters and recorded 2,474 Sensei procedures in 2010 compared to 26 Sensei Robotic Catheter Systems, 2,243 catheters and 1,652 Sensei procedures in 2009. The company's net loss for 2010, including non-cash stock compensation expense of $5.0 million, was $37.9 million, or $0.78 loss per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 48.9 million. This compares favorably to a net loss of $52.4 million, or $1.55 loss per basic and diluted share, based on an average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 33.9 million, for 2009, which included non-cash stock compensation expense of $7.4 million.

Full Year 2011 Outlook

The company will continue to focus on its three strategic initiatives in 2011: growing the electrophysiology (EP) business, developing and launching the vascular platform, and achieving operational excellence. The company has already delivered on one of its previously communicated 2011 outlook items, namely the execution of new agreements with Philips for the FOSSL technology. While the company anticipates Sensei system shipments in 2011, given the uncertainty of timing of those shipments, the company will not currently be providing specific guidance. The company expects continued good growth in catheter shipments and procedures in 2011, continuing the positive trends shown in the prior year. Overall operating expense levels are not expected to change significantly in 2011 from the prior year. The company expects to receive regulatory clearance in the U.S. and Europe for the flexible catheter vascular robotic system and to offer the system for commercial sale in the second half of 2011. Finally, the current cash position, including anticipated cash flows from the company's last milestone payment under its joint development agreement with Philips, is expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's operations through the launch of the next generation flexible catheter vascular robotic technology in 2012.

"We are very encouraged about our EP procedural growth as it testifies to the continued market adoption, safety and clinical relevance of our Sensei system and the value that it delivers to patients, physicians, hospitals and payors," said Barclay. "Our 2011 business plan is focused on achieving key strategic initiatives, and establishing a unique and differentiated value proposition for our vascular system that we believe represents a ten-fold increase in market opportunity from our currently addressable market and includes a new set of physician customers."

About Hansen Medical, Inc.

Hansen Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, develops products and technology using robotics for the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The company's Sensei® system and its Sensei X Robotic Catheter System were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in EP procedures. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei and Sensei X systems for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), have not been established during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF. In the European Union, the Sensei and the Sensei X systems are cleared for use during EP procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of AF and the Lynx® robotic catheter is cleared for the treatment of AF. The flexible catheter vascular robotic system requires regulatory filings and approval and is not commercially available. Additional information can be found at www.hansenmedical.com.
