IRVINE, Calif., January 7, 2013 – Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX), developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, announced today preliminary unaudited revenue for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Endologix anticipates fourth quarter 2012 global revenue of approximately $29.2 million and full year 2012 global revenue of approximately $105.9 million, representing approximately 25% and 27% year-over-year growth, respectively. The preliminary results compare to previously issued guidance of $104-$106 million in global revenues for the full year 2012.

The Company anticipates U.S. Revenue to be approximately $23.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing approximately 20% growth compared to $19.4 million for the same quarter in 2011.

About Endologix, Inc.
Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. The Company's focus is endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 75%, making it a leading cause of death in the U.S. Additional information can be found on Endologix's Web site at www.endologix.com. The Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System is not approved in the United States for either investigational use or commercial sale. The Ventana Fenestrated System is an investigational device in the United States and international markets.
