First Quarter 2018 Results

In comparing the first quarter of 2018 to the same period of 2017:

 

Pump shipments increased 58 percent to 4,444 pumps from 2,816 pumps.

 

Sales increased 44 percent to $27.3 million from $19.0 million.  The first quarter of 2017 benefited from $1.5 million in previously deferred sales that were recognized during the period1.

 

Operating margin improved to negative 57 percent from negative 112 percent.

 

“Our first quarter results demonstrate continued positive momentum across all aspects of our business,” said Kim Blickenstaff, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These trends, in combination with our robust product pipeline and the new integrated continuous glucose monitoring opportunities, give us confidence in our ability to achieve both our near and longer-term goals.”

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2018 increased 69 percent to $11.4 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period of 2017. The first quarter of 2017 benefited from $0.7 million in previously deferred profit that was

Beginning in the third quarter of 2016 through the third quarter of 2017, the Company offered a Technology Upgrade Program under a variable pricing structure, as a pathway for certain existing customers to obtain the t:slim X2TM Insulin Pump. This program resulted in a number of accounting complexities that makes comparisons of our current and historical financial results more difficult. In particular, during the term of the program, accounting guidelines required us to defer up to 100 percent of sales at the time of pump shipment and recognize them in a subsequent period, either when the upgrade was fulfilled or at the expiration of the program.

 

 


 

recognized during the period1. Gross margin was 42 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to 36 percent in the same period of 2017.

Both operating loss and operating margin included non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $1.2 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to stock-based compensation of $3.0 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, for the comparable period of 2017.  

 

Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $32.7 million, compared to $23.8 million for the same period of 2017.

Forward Looking Statement

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that concern matters that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, the Company’s projected financial results and the Company’s ability to achieve its near and longer-term goals. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. For instance, the Company’s ability to achieve projected financial results will be impacted by the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for new products and products under development and the timing of any such approvals; market acceptance of the Company’s existing products and products under development by physicians and people with diabetes; the potential that newer products that compete with the Company’s products, or other technological breakthroughs for the monitoring, treatment or prevention of diabetes, may render the Company’s products obsolete or less desirable; and the potential that the process of purchasing the Company’s products, including insurance verification approval for individual customers, may delay or prevent the sale of the products.  Other risks and uncertainties include the Company’s inability to manufacture products in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost and in accordance with quality requirements; the Company’s inability to contract with additional third-party payors for reimbursement of the Company’s products; uncertainty associated with the development and approval of new products generally; possible future actions of the FDA or any other regulatory body or governmental authority; and other risks identified in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release.
