DexCom Reports Record Preliminary, Unaudited Revenue for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 and Provides Initial 2017 Outlook

SAN DIEGO, CA - (BUSINESS WIRE-January 10, 2017) - DexCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: DXCM) today reported that it achieved preliminary, unaudited revenue of approximately $168 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, an estimated increase of 28% over the fourth quarter of 2015. For fiscal 2016, total preliminary, unaudited revenue is expected to be $570 million, an estimated increase of 42% over 2015.

“2016 was a record year for DexCom. We estimate that 80,000 to 90,000 new patients adopted DexCom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (“CGM”) worldwide and we ended the year with approximately 200,000 patients globally, up from approximately 140,000 at the end of 2015,” said Kevin Sayer, DexCom’s President and CEO.

“In addition, CGM received a positive reimbursement decision in Germany, which we believe will significantly expand our international opportunity in the coming years.” Sayer continued, “In December, we obtained our non-adjunctive label from the FDA, the first critical step toward our objectives of eliminating finger-stick testing and expanding access to CGM for Medicare patients. DexCom now offers the only CGM system approved to make insulin dosing decisions. With our continued growth and these milestones, we believe we are well-positioned for continued success in 2017 and beyond.”

2017 Outlook

For 2017, DexCom currently anticipates total revenue in the range of $710 to $740 million, reflecting estimated growth of 25% to 30% over 2016. At the end of 2017, the company is targeting a patient base of 270,000 worldwide and continues to estimate that patients outside of the United States will be approximately 20% to 25% of its global patient base.

Gross margin is expected to range from 67% to 70% for 2017, and operating expenses are anticipated to increase by approximately 20% to 25% over 2016.
