Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $0.5 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in CorPath System revenue compared to the prior year period. The revenue realized in the second quarter of 2016 was comprised primarily of CorPath cassette, accessory and service revenue.

Gross loss was $606,000 in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a gross loss of $32,000 in the second quarter of 2015. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2016 continued to include the effect of under-utilization of production facilities which is expected to continue throughout 2016.

Research and development expenses were $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease is primarily due to reduced investments in prototype and consultant services related to timing of the development of product enhancements. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with the recent CEO transition.

Net loss was $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2016 were $26.4 million.

2016 Outlook

Corindus expects revenue for 2016 to be in the range of $4.0 to $5.0 million for the year.

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. The company's CorPath® System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to complex, radial, coronary and peripheral procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance stents and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to complex, radial, coronary and peripheral procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement with manual procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program." For additional information, visit www.corindus.com, and follow @CorindusInc.
