Narrative:
We will now look at how Boston Scientific is structured to deliver its innovative products.
In an effort to best serve our customers, the Company aligned its sales and marketing organizations and centralized them under three groups: Cardiovascular, Endosurgery and Neuromodulation.
Each group is further divided into distinct business units, with a total of eleven for the entire company.
Cardiovascular is the largest and includes: Interventional Cardiology, Peripheral Interventions, Vascular Surgery, Neurovascular and Electrophysiology.
Our Endosurgery group, which recently relocated to our new Marlborough, MA campus, is comprised of Endoscopy, Oncology, Urology and Gynecology
The Neuromodulation group is a recent expansion to our Company’s footprint and is a result of the acquisition of Advanced Bionics in The group includes Auditory and Pain Management businesses.
We will now take a more detailed look at each of the three major groups.

8. Boston Scientific has evolved from early pioneer to industry leader
Global Leadership in Interventional Medicine
$6,283
TAXUS DES U.S. FDA approval
Revenue ($000)

BSC acquires eight companies in two years
Phase IV
Next Chapter
BSC goes public with IPO on NYSE
Narrative:
Boston Scientific has evolved over the past 25 years in three phases, or chapters, as depicted in this graph showing our annual revenues.
During Phase I, we paved the way as an industry pioneer, breaking new ground in medical devices for more than three decades – even prior to the official formation of Boston Scientific. Throughout our history, Boston Scientific has developed many groundbreaking technologies and grown many of the businesses that can be credited with the advancement of the industry.
However, it was during Phase II of our growth where we made some of our most important strategic acquisitions including Scimed Life Sciences, which became the foundation for our Cardiovascular business. Other key acquisitions included Target Therapeutics, Schneider, Symbiosis Corp. and EP Technologies. During this time the company grew from 2,800 employees to more than 10,000. Facilities grew by more than one million square feet while the product line expanded from 3,000 to 8,500 items.
The most recent chapter, Phase III, involved building our operational effectiveness, focusing on obtaining approval of our TAXUS drug-eluting coronary stent system, and the successful execution of the TAXUS launch. This chapter culminated with Boston Scientific as the worldwide leader in coronary stent sales, which drove explosive growth in revenues.
Today we continue to grow and build diverse product offerings through product development, strategic acquisitions and alliances with third parties. The strength of our portfolio, our physician relationships and our people allow Boston Scientific to begin the next chapter in our history and continue to be a global leader in the medical device industry.

Narrative:
The strength of our market share in our served markets stems from the quality, breadth and diversity of our product lines, which permit medical specialists to satisfy many of their less-invasive device requirements from a single source.
In our largest business segment, Interventional Cardiology, we hold a leading position in the market with 45% market share. Even if you exclude our biggest product line, drug-eluting stents, we still retain 43% market share, indicating that we hold a deep and broad presence in this market.
In the Endosurgery market, which makes up nearly one-fifth of the Company’s business, we hold a leading market share position that is more than double that of our closest competitor in a highly competitive and diverse marketplace.
At the product line level, the bulk of our sales come from market leading products. At Boston Scientific, our goal is to develop market leading products that adhere to the highest standards of quality, safety and efficacy.
