DexCom Inc. Reports First Quarter 2009 Financial Results

DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM) today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Product revenue grew to approximately $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 46% from the $1.8 million in product revenue reported for the first quarter of 2008, and an increase of approximately 8% from the $2.45 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2008. Total first quarter 2009 revenue, which includes development grant revenue, was $5.2 million, an increase of 180% from the same quarter in 2008, and approximately 28% from the fourth quarter of 2008. The company reported a net loss of $13.1 million or $0.33 per share for the first quarter of 2009, down from $13.8 million or $0.47 per share for the first quarter of 2008. The net loss included $3.7 million in non-cash expenses during the first quarter of 2009, which included $1.1 million in non-cash interest expense associated with the adoption of FSP APB 14-1.

Cost of sales totaled $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $3.2 million for the first quarter in 2008. The increase was due to additional product sales and development costs related to development and collaboration agreements entered into during 2008. Research and development expense decreased by approximately $1.6 million to $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to development and collaboration agreements entered into during 2008 and the corresponding reclassification of expenses to development cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by approximately $1.5 million to $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2008, with the change primarily due to additional marketing and sales costs including increased consulting fees. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $65.2 million in cash, marketable securities, and restricted cash.
