DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq:DXCM) today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Product revenue grew to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 53% from the $1.2 million in product revenue reported for the third quarter of 2007. Total third quarter 2008 revenue, which included development grant revenue, was $1.9 million, an increase of 57% from the same quarter in 2007.

Cost of sales totaled $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $0.7 million to $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared to $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2007, with the change primarily due to additional general and administrative costs, including increased share-based compensation.
