#### Future Outlook and Strategy

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. expects to continue substantial investments in R&D to expand product development and anticipates R&D expenses to increase. Depreciation expense is also expected to rise in the remainder of 2026 due to infrastructure build-out and higher intangible asset amortization from a Q1 2026 acquisition. While OUS procedures and revenue are projected to form a larger part of the business long-term, future system placements face risks from supply chain issues, economic and geopolitical conditions, and increased competition, especially in China.
