Date:4/22/2008

pany's product lines, favorable foreign exchange, and increased transcatheter heart valve sales to more than $35 million.

"Foreign exchange hedges are expected to continue suppressing the improvement in gross profit margin for the next two quarters, resulting in a full year 2008 gross profit margin improvement at the low end of our 100 to 150 basis point guidance. In addition, we continue to expect free cash flow to be at the upper end of our $155 million to $165 million goal.

"Finally, we estimate that second quarter 2008 diluted EPS will be between $0.62 and $0.66. We are increasing the full year estimate by $0.13, to between $2.45 and $2.53 excluding special items, which represents a 15% to 19% growth rate," said Mussallem.
