On March 20, 2007, SonoSite's Vice President of Investor Relations, will present at the "Invest Northwest" conference sponsored by the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association in Seattle. During the presentation, she will confirm the 2007 annual guidance previously provided by the company on February 15, 2007 in its financial press release and 8-K filing, as follows: 2007 revenue growth of 15-18%, gross margin of approximately 71%, operating expenses as a % of revenue at 67% (SG&A, 53%, R&D, 14%). With respect to historical seasonal patterns, she will reiterate the company's prior guidance that management expects approximately 20% of the total 2007 revenue would be in the first quarter, and approximately 33% of total year revenue in the fourth quarter. Expenses for 2007 would be approximately level in dollars for the first three quarters, with a seasonal increase in the fourth quarter to account for higher sales activity. An audio webcast of the investor presentation and the accompanying slides can be accessed via the "Investors" Section of SonoSite's website at www.sonosite.com. The webcast will be available beginning March 20, 2007 and will remain posted for 30 days. |
