Highlight of Business Operations:

Systems revenue increased to $777.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, up 18% from $660.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to the sale of 93 more systems in 2011. Prior to the fourth quarter 2010, transactions involving customers transitioning from da Vinci S to a da Vinci Si Surgical System were included in upgrade revenue and excluded from the system count. The current treatment reflects the current nature of the higher-priced transactions where customers are now shipped completely new da Vinci Si Surgical Systems in exchange for their used da Vinci S Surgical Systems, rather than receiving component level field upgrades of their da Vinci S units. There were 29 field upgrades of da Vinci S Surgical Systems to da Vinci Si Surgical Systems during the first nine months of 2010. The 2011 average selling price (ASP) of $1.44 million was approximately equal the 2010 ASP. System upgrade revenue was $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The 2010 upgrade revenue included the 29 field upgrades of da Vinci S Surgical Systems to da Vinci Si Surgical Systems.

Systems revenue increased to $660.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, up 35% from $490.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to 103 more systems sold in 2010. The 2010 average selling price (ASP) of $1.44 million was higher than the 2009 ASP of $1.39 million, resulting from a higher percentage of the higher-priced single and dual console da Vinci Si Surgical Systems in the systems product mix. System upgrade revenue was $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Product gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 23% to $1,096.6 million, or 74.1% of product revenue, compared with $891.8 million, or 75.0% of product revenue, during the year ended December 31, 2010. The higher product gross profit was driven by higher 2011 product revenue, as described above. The lower product gross profit percentage for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects the inclusion of lower margin da Vinci Skills Simulators in 2011. Product gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 reflected stock-based compensation expense of $12.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

Service gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2011 increased to $177.2 million, or 63.7% of service revenue, compared with $138.2 million, or 61.7% of service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2010. The higher 2011 service gross profit was driven by a larger installed base. The higher 2011 gross service profit percentage was primarily driven by lower service parts consumption and costs associated with field upgrades. Service gross profit during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 reflected stock-based compensation expense of $11.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Service gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $138.2 million, or 61.7% of service revenue, compared with $108.8 million, or 63.1% of service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2009. The higher 2010 service gross profit was driven by a larger installed base. The lower 2010 gross service profit percentage was primarily driven by higher 2010 field upgrade costs. Service gross profit during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 reflected stock-based compensation expense of $8.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
