UROPLASTY REPORTS FISCAL SECOND QUARTER 2013
FINANCIAL RESULTS

~Sales to U.S. customers grow 23% driven by a 38% increase in Urgent® PC
~648 Active Urgent PC customers in the U.S. establishes new quarterly record~
-Continued expansion of reimbursement coverage for Urgent PC-
~Enrollment for U.S. pilot trial begins~
~Conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET~

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, October 25, 2012 – Uroplasty, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPI), a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative proprietary products to treat voiding dysfunctions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended September 30, 2012.

Global sales grew 15% to $5.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with $5.0 million in the fiscal second quarter a year ago. Sales in the U.S. increased 23%, driven by a 38% increase in sales of the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System. U.S. sales of Macroplastique were up 4% from the prior year.

“The fiscal second quarter results continued to demonstrate the success of our efforts with Urgent PC sales in the U.S.,” said David Kaysen, President and CEO of Uroplasty. “The number of active Urgent PC customers in the U.S increased sequentially in the second quarter to a record 648 from 577 in the fiscal first quarter. Additionally, we sold 3,576 lead set boxes in the fiscal second quarter compared with 3,283 in the fiscal first quarter.”

U.S. Urgent PC Sales in the fiscal second quarter totaled $2.7 million, up from $2.5 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2013.  Just as the quarter ended, Noridian, one of the Regional Medicare carriers, expanded coverage of Urgent PC treatments from twelve months to two years for the 3.6 million covered Medicare lives in its jurisdiction. This change in policy was the result of a review of published data, showing the positive results of using Urgent PC over a 24-month period. Noridian provides Medicare services in Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Uroplasty also benefited from published reimbursement coverage policies for percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) treatments by private insurance carriers EmblemHealth, covering approximately 2.1 million lives in New York and New Jersey, and ConnectiCare, covering approximately 228,000 lives in Connecticut.

“In addition to continued expansion of reimbursement, we have had further positive clinical data released on Urgent PC.  The 3-year STEP Study data was presented for the first time at the Western Section American Urological Association conference in Hawaii earlier this month. This multi-center study demonstrated that patients who respond to the initial 12 weeks of Urgent PC therapy sustained their symptom improvement over 3 years,” said Mr. Kaysen.

Macroplastique sales in the U.S. totaled $1.4 million in the fiscal second quarter, up 4% over the same quarter last year. “Over the past year, we have successfully built our share in the bulking market and during fiscal 2013 we anticipate steady sales from Macroplastique,” Mr. Kaysen commented.

Net sales to customers outside of the U.S. for the fiscal second quarter totaled $1.5 million, a decrease of 3% from the prior fiscal year’s second quarter.  Excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, total sales outside the U.S. were up 6%.  Urgent PC sales outside of the U.S. of $510,000 increased 31% from $389,000 in the prior fiscal year’s second quarter. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, Urgent PC sales increased 40%.
 
The Company reported an operating loss of $642,000 in the fiscal second quarter, compared with a $1.3 million operating loss in the same quarter last year. Excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, the non-GAAP operating loss was $163,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared with an $837,000 non-GAAP operating loss in the second quarter a year ago.  The decrease in operating loss was primarily attributable to the increase in sales and improved gross margin, which more than offset the increase in operating expenses.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2012, sales grew 17% to $11.3 million, reflecting a 31% increase in U.S. sales and a 9% decrease in sales outside the U.S.  In the U.S., sales of Urgent PC increased 49% to $5.3 million and Macroplastique sales grew 10% to $2.9 million.  At September 30, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and cash investments totaled $15.4 million.

“We are pleased to report that we have initiated our pilot study in the U.S. to evaluate the efficacy of Urgent PC for the treatment of bowel incontinence,” continued Mr. Kaysen. “We are currently enrolling patients at one of the two study sites. We are also moving forward with our efforts to secure a CE Mark in Europe for an implantable tibial nerve stimulator for the treatment of over active bladder. At the recent International Continence Society meeting in Beijing, China, the results of a nine-year study were presented that demonstrated the durability and safety of an implantable tibial nerve neuromodulation device.”

“As we look ahead, we expect continued sequential growth of Urgent PC sales. To that end, we added three sales reps during the quarter to end with a total of 41. We plan to add three more reps by the end of the fiscal year. We are optimistic about the outlook for our financial performance for fiscal 2013. Reimbursement coverage is expanding, clinical data continue to be positive, and we have an experienced sales organization and solid infrastructure in place to support our growth. Our team is focused on our plan to drive Urgent PC sales and increase utilization,” Mr. Kaysen concluded.

Forward-Looking Information
 
This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect our best estimates regarding future events and financial performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:  The following table reconciles our operating loss calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash charges for share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization expenses from gross profit, operating expenses and operating loss.  The non-GAAP financial measures used by management and disclosed by us are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and consolidated financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, and you should carefully evaluate our reconciliations to non-GAAP.  We may calculate our non-GAAP financial measures differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies.  We have described the reconciliations of each of our non-GAAP financial measures described above to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
 
We use these non-GAAP financial measures, and in particular non-GAAP operating loss, for internal managerial purposes and incentive compensation for senior management because we believe such measures are one important indicator of the strength and the operating performance of our business.  Analysts and investors frequently ask us for this information.  We believe that they use these measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry, including as a means of comparing period-to-period results and as a means of evaluating our results with those of other companies.
 
Our non-GAAP operating loss during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $163,000 and $837,000, respectively.  Our non-GAAP operating loss during the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $724,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.  The decrease in non-GAAP operating loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 over the corresponding period a year ago is attributed to the increase in net sales and gross profit percent, which more than offset the increase in operating spending.
