Summary

DexCom, Inc. (DXCM) reported strong performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, with total revenue increasing by 34% year-over-year to $1,357.8 million. This growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of their disposable glucose sensors. The company demonstrated significant improvements in profitability, with gross profit increasing by 42% and operating income by a substantial margin (not meaningful due to prior period low base). Net income also saw a dramatic increase from $8.4 million to $138.4 million for the nine-month period. This financial strength is supported by a robust balance sheet, with total assets growing to $3,833.2 million from $2,395.0 million at the end of the prior year, and a substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents to $673.5 million. Financially, DexCom raised considerable capital through the issuance of senior convertible notes in May 2020, amounting to $1.21 billion. The company also effectively managed its debt by repurchasing and converting its 2022 Notes. Management anticipates that existing cash, cash flow from operations, and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
