DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM) today reported its financial results as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:

Revenue grew 32% versus the same quarter of the prior year to $595.1 million
U.S. revenue growth of 26% and international revenue growth of 58%

Strategic Highlights:

In June, reported compelling data demonstrating the efficacy of Dexcom’s current and future CGM platforms:
- The Lancet published results from the ALERTT1 randomized controlled trial demonstrating superior clinical outcomes for users of Dexcom G6 real-time CGM compared to intermittently scanned CGM.¹
- The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published results from the MOBILE randomized controlled trial, demonstrating strong clinical advantages of Dexcom CGM versus the current standard of care in adults with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes on basal insulin without prandial insulin.²
- Dexcom presented strong preliminary data for its next-generation G7 CGM System at the International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) conference.
Advanced access to Dexcom CGM for people with diabetes in several regions, including British Columbia as the first Canadian province to establish coverage for Dexcom G6 CGM systems for people with Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy.
After the conclusion of the quarter, announced FDA clearance of Dexcom’s real-time API, furthering the company’s emphasis on interoperable solutions for tailored experiences with Dexcom CGM.

( https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(21)00789-3).

“Dexcom’s second quarter performance was characterized by strong financial results and the continued advancement of our key strategic initiatives,” said Kevin Sayer, Dexcom’s chairman, president and CEO. “Our underlying momentum led to the increased revenue and margin guidance that we reported today and leaves us increasingly excited as we head into the second half of 2021.”

Revenue: In the second quarter of 2021, worldwide revenue grew 32% to $595.1 million, up from $451.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. Volume growth in conjunction with strong new customer additions continues to be the primary driver of revenue growth as awareness of real-time CGM increases.

Non-GAAP gross profit* totaled $417.1 million or 70.1% of revenue for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $289.7 million or 64.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter 2020 non-GAAP amount excludes $5.6 million of incremental labor costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The second quarter 2021 non-GAAP amount excludes $20.8 million of non-cash interest expense related to Dexcom’s senior convertible notes and $8.8 million of tax adjustments primarily related to excess tax benefits from stock compensation vesting.

The second quarter 2020 non-GAAP amount excludes $16.5 million of non-cash interest expense related to Dexcom’s senior convertible notes, $7.8 million of incremental costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, and a $5.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

Cash and Liquidity: As of June 30, 2021, Dexcom held $2.58 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and our revolving credit facility remains undrawn.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated July 29, 2021 contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as well as adjusted EBITDA.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our operating performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by senior management in our financial and operational decision making. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude amounts that we do not consider part of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the organization and our senior management. We compute non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. We may consider whether other significant items that arise in the future should be excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.

We report non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, differ from GAAP measures with the same names, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar names that are used by other companies. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliations between these presentations, to more fully understand our business.

Table E reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures in the press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

We exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share:

Amortization of acquired intangible assets
Collaborative research and development fees for milestone and incentive payments under our collaborative research and development arrangements paid by issuing shares of our common stock
Business transition and related costs associated with acquisition, integration and business transition activities, including severance, relocation, consulting, leasehold exit costs, third party merger and acquisition costs, and other costs directly associated with such activities.
COVID-19 costs associated with the COVID-19 outbreak related to taking the necessary precautions for essential personnel to operate safely both in person as well as remotely. Costs incurred include items like incremental payroll costs, consulting support, IT infrastructure and facilities related costs
Litigation settlement costs
Non-cash interest expense on senior convertible notes for the accretion of the debt discount associated with our senior convertible notes
Loss on extinguishment of debt associated with repurchases and/or conversions of our senior convertible notes
Adjustments related to taxes for the excluded items above, as well as excess benefits or tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation, the one-time impact from release of valuation allowance in 2020, and the quarterly impact of other discrete items

Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash operating charges for share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization as well as non-operating items such as interest income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, income and loss from equity investments, and income tax expense or benefit. For the reasons explained above, adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash collaborative research and development fees, business transition and related costs, COVID-19 costs, and litigation settlement costs.
