EXHIBIT 99.1

ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2012 Results

Fourth Quarter Revenue Increased 8.1% to $82.7 million

Fourth Quarter Gross Margins Expanded 350 basis points to 50.5%

Full Year 2012 Operating Cash Flow Totaled $66.3 million

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Feb. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications, announced today results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Fourth quarter of 2012 revenue increased 8.1% to $82.7 million, compared to $76.5 million in the same period last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $12.3 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $17.8 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. The fourth quarter of 2011 net income included a $12.6 million pre-tax gain, which included $1.6 million of selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses related to the sale of the Orbit product line. Excluding the gain, related SG&A expenses and the related income tax expense, net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $9.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, revenue increased 4.9% to $316.9 million, compared to $302.2 million in the same period last year. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was $41.3 million, or $2.80 per diluted share, compared to net income of $44.7 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding the gain on sale of assets, related SG&A expenses and the related income tax expense, net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, was $36.7 million, or $2.59 per diluted share.

"2012 was another year of record financial and operating achievements," said Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer. "Our strong top-line performance during the fourth quarter was driven by robust growth across our oncology, infusion therapy and TEGO products, which was partially offset by the expected decrease in critical care. International sales were up 16%, while domestic sales grew 5.7% year over year. Gross margins expanded 350 basis points to 50.5% as we continued to benefit from a favorable product mix and foreign exchange rates."

"Entering 2013, we believe our enhanced product portfolio and solid balance sheet position us well for profitable growth in 2013 and beyond. We will continue to utilize our strong financial position to enhance shareholder value through investment in innovation and strengthening our operating infrastructure," concluded Mr. Lamb.

Revenues by market segment for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

(dollars in millions)
Market Segment 2012 2011 Change
Infusion Therapy $ 215.3 $ 198.9 8.3%
Critical Care $ 55.5 $ 61.4 -9.6%
Oncology $ 30.3 $ 24.4 24.2%
Other $ 15.8 $ 17.5 -10.1%
  $ 316.9 $ 302.2 4.9%

The Company ended the fourth quarter with a healthy balance sheet. As of December 31, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $226.2 million and working capital was $296.4 million. Additionally, the Company generated operating cash flow of $66.3 million for the fiscal year of 2012.

Fiscal Year 2013 Guidance

For the full fiscal year of 2013, management expects to generate revenue in the range of $330 million to $340 million, diluted earnings in the range of $2.70 to $2.85 per share, and operating cash flow in the range of $40 million to $50 million.

Conference Call

The Company will be conducting a conference call concerning its fourth quarter and fiscal year results today at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST).  The call can be accessed at 800-936-9761, international 408-774-4587, conference ID 90674287. The conference call will be simultaneously available by webcast, which can be accessed by going to the Company's website at www.icumed.com, clicking on the Investors tab, clicking on the Webcast icon and following the prompts. The webcast will also be available by replay. 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our fourth quarter and fiscal year results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have provided additional measures of related SG&A expenses, gain on sale of assets, income from operations, provision for income taxes, net income and diluted net income per share to exclude certain gains and expenses, in connection with the related SG&A expenses, gain and related income tax expense resulting from our sale of assets in 2011 related to our diabetes infusion set product line. We discuss these non-GAAP measures because we believe these metrics provide additional insight into underlying operating results and prospects for the future, allowing investors to assess certain business trends in the same way that these trends are utilized by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. 

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, is as follows:

Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP SG&A expenses Q4 2011 2011
