Frequently Asked Questions

Revenue growth of 18% was primarily driven by an increase in the sales volume of disposable sensors, reflecting the continued expansion of Dexcom's worldwide customer base. This growth was partially offset by shifts in product and channel mix and pricing strategies, as well as the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on revenue.

Dexcom effectively managed its operating expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by 14% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year, mainly due to lower third-party and consulting fees for software development and reduced clinical trial costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation costs and increased advertising and marketing spend.

As of September 30, 2022, Dexcom maintained a strong liquidity position with $2.37 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities.
