MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTS

"Our record revenue and strong year-over-year growth in the first quarter clearly demonstrates the success of our penetration strategy to the U.S. market with the Renaissance™ system, our state-of-the-art surgical guidance system for spine procedures," said Ori Hadomi, CEO of Mazor Robotics. "Our focused sales approach on leading hospitals in spine surgery is yielding positive results. Additionally, our efforts to grow internationally were very successful specifically in Asia, as we sold our first Renaissance™ systems in Australia and Taiwan.

We believe this momentum, coupled with the continued regulatory approval in select markets, as well as continued positive clinical results, such as those that have been recently documented validating the extremely high efficacy of Renaissance™, will accelerate our penetration rate in the U.S. and global markets. Our goal is to ensure surgeons and hospital executives have complete confidence in using our systems, from both clinical and business perspectives, and that their patients are receiving the best care."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (GAAP), this press release contains Non-GAAP financial measuresfor net income and basic and diluted earnings per share that exclude the effects of non-cash expense of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and revaluation of the fair value of the derivative instruments. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance that enhances management's and investors' ability to evaluate the company's net income and earnings per share and to compare them to historical net income and earnings per share.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when operating and evaluating the business internally and therefore decided to make these non-GAAP adjustments available to investors.
