What were the primary drivers of revenue growth in Q1 2025?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by a 17% increase in da Vinci procedures and a 58% increase in Ion procedures. This led to an 18% increase in instruments and accessories revenue, a 25% increase in systems revenue, and a 16% increase in service revenue. The strong performance of the da Vinci 5 system placements also contributed significantly to the systems revenue growth.

How is the company managing potential impacts from global tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainties?

The company notes that while the impact of tariffs on its first quarter 2025 results was immaterial, it anticipates a significant increase in its cost of revenues in the second half of 2025 due to recently announced and implemented global tariffs. It is actively monitoring supply chain risks, inflationary pressures, and elevated interest rates, and is engaged in activities to mitigate their impact on operations. Specific concerns include tariffs on imports from China impacting da Vinci Xi surgical system costs and competitiveness in that region.

What is the outlook for new product introductions and adoption?

Intuitive Surgical is continuing to advance its product pipeline. The company reported FDA clearance for its SP SureForm 45 stapler and curved-tip stapler in March 2025 for use with the da Vinci SP surgical system. The phased launch of the next-generation da Vinci 5 system is progressing, with 147 units placed in Q1 2025. The Ion endoluminal system also continues to see strong procedural growth and installed base expansion.

What are the key risks and legal proceedings the company is currently facing?

The company faces ongoing product liability litigation related to the da Vinci surgical system. It is also involved in patent and commercial litigation, including antitrust claims related to the service and repair of its instruments. While the company is defending itself, it acknowledges that the ultimate outcome of these matters could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or future results of operations. The company cannot estimate a range of loss for certain legal matters.
