SenoRx Reports Strong First Quarter 2007 Results

Revenue Up Strongly, Driven by a 52 Percent Increase in Biopsy Disposables, Overall Gross Margins Grew to 54.1 Percent Up From 47.1 Percent


ALISO VIEJO, Calif., May 15, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- SenoRx (Nasdaq:SENO) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Revenue for the quarter increased 32 percent to $7.7 million, compared with $5.8 million in the first quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $4.1 million, or 54.1 percent of revenue, up from $2.7 million, or 47.1 percent of revenue, in the first quarter of 2006. Net loss for the first quarter of 2007 decreased 10 percent to $2.1 million or 90 cents per share, from $2.3 million or $1.07 per share for the first quarter last year.

"We are pleased with the strong revenue growth achieved in the first quarter, led by a 52 percent increase in Biopsy disposable revenues resulting from the continued increase in the number of new sites for our flagship EnCor system," said Lloyd Malchow, SenoRx President and Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, we achieved significant progress in improving our gross margin, which increased 7 percentage points from the first quarter a year ago. The improvement was driven by increased product sales resulting from our larger installed base of EnCor systems, combined with improved efficiencies related to the production of our disposable biopsy probe and leveraging our manufacturing overhead over an increased revenue base."

On April 3, 2007, SenoRx completed its initial public offering of 5,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. On April 23, 2007 the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 825,000 shares of our common stock at $8.00 per share. The initial public offering and exercise of the over-allotment option raised $47.1 million, net of the underwriters' fees. The proceeds from the public offering will provide the company with capital to expand selling and promotional activities, complete the development of its breast radiation balloon, and continue developmental activities supporting its product pipeline.

2007 Outlook and Guidance

"We are very encouraged about the excellent progress achieved in the first quarter of 2007," Malchow continued. "These positive financial results, along with our current product offering and strong product pipeline, position the company well to become a leader in the diagnostic and therapeutic breast care market."

Management's initial guidance for full-year 2007 revenues is in the range of $33 to $35 million.
