1

Third quarter 2024 organic revenue was $994.7 million and excludes $0.5 million of foreign exchange impact. Third quarter 2023 reported revenue included $8.0 million of non-CGM revenue subsequently divested in the following twelve months.

2

Organic growth excludes non-CGM revenue acquired or divested in the trailing twelve months, as well as the impact of foreign exchange. Dexcom's 2024 organic growth expectation excludes approximately $30 million of fiscal year 2023 revenue related to the divestiture of certain non-CGM assets.

Commercial Leadership Update

Dexcom also announced today that Teri Lawver, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, will retire at the end of the year. She will continue as a special advisor to Dexcom through early 2025 and Kevin Sayer, chairman, president and CEO, will assume leadership of the commercial organization as the company conducts a global search for a new chief commercial officer.

“I want to personally thank Teri for her strong leadership and dedication, as seen most clearly through the successful launches of G7 and Stelo,” said Kevin Sayer. “I look forward to guiding us through this transition phase as we capitalize on the incredible opportunity ahead.”

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures.

We have not reconciled our organic revenue growth, Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin estimates for fiscal year 2024 because certain items that impact these figures are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted.

(1)

Represents amortization of acquired intangible assets.

(2)

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, business transition and other significant items are primarily related to a non-recurring $24.6 million non-cash inventory build charge and rent for vacated office space in San Diego, California. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, business transition and other significant items are primarily related to a non-cash inventory build charge, the divestiture of certain non-CGM assets, workforce reduction costs, and rent for vacated office space in San Diego, California. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, business transition and other significant items are primarily related to rent for vacated office space in San Diego, California.

(3)

Represents a credit received related to employment of personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

(4)

We have excluded third-party attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Dexcom exclusively in connection with Dexcom’s patent infringement litigation against Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc., as further described in the section titled “Legal Proceedings” in Dexcom’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

(5)

Represents income and losses from equity investments.

(6)

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, tax adjustments are primarily related to the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, tax adjustments are primarily related to the tax effect of the Verily milestone payment, non-GAAP adjustments, and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation for employees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, tax adjustments are primarily related to the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, including the intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation for employees.

(7)

When our senior convertible notes are dilutive on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, net income used for calculating GAAP and non-GAAP diluted net income per share includes an interest expense add back, net of tax, under the if-converted method. In loss periods, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same since the effect of potential common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore excluded.

(8)

The adjustments are for the transition from GAAP diluted net income per share to non-GAAP diluted net income per share due to our senior convertible notes.

(9)

The sum of the non-GAAP per share components may not equal the totals due to rounding.

(10)

We adjust for the dilutive effect of our senior convertible notes when the effect is not the same on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for a given period.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accompanying press release dated October 24, 2024 contains non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic revenue, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share, and non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as well as Adjusted EBITDA.

We report non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures 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. While we compute non-GAAP financial measures using a 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.

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 measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these 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.

Management believes organic revenue is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of Dexcom’s revenue to prior periods as well as to industry peers. We exclude the following items from organic revenue:

  • The effect of non-CGM revenue acquired or divested in the trailing twelve months; and
  • The effect of foreign currency fluctuations

Management believes that the presentation of operating results that exclude these items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future operating performance.

Table E reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our policy is to exclude the following items from non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share:

  • Amortization of acquired intangible assets;
  • Business transition and related costs associated with acquisition and divestiture, integration and business transition activities, including severance, relocation, consulting, leasehold exit costs, third-party merger and acquisition costs, and other non-recurring significant items;
  • Credits related to the employment of personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Income or loss from equity investments;
  • Third-party intellectual property litigation costs in connection with Dexcom’s patent infringement litigation against Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc.;
  • Litigation settlement costs;
  • Gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; and
  • Adjustments related to taxes for the excluded items above, as well as excess benefits or tax deficiencies from share-based compensation, 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, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, income or loss from equity investments, and income tax expense or benefit. For the reasons explained above, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes business transition and other significant items, COVID-19 credits, litigation settlement costs, and intellectual property litigation costs.
