Outset Medical Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Outset Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: OM) (“Outset” or the “Company”), a medical technology company pioneering a first-of-its-kind technology to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“With our recent 510(k) clearance for TabloCart with Prefiltration, 12^th consecutive quarter of gross margin expansion and strong sales pipeline growth during the quarter, we are well positioned to capitalize on the $11 billion U.S. dialysis market opportunity,” said Leslie Trigg, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. “Tablo’s uniquely compelling value proposition continues to resonate with acute- and home-care providers, with significant new customer wins in both settings during the quarter.

“We also took cost-reduction steps during the quarter to help ensure we reach our profitability goals without the need for additional capital. We believe these actions, combined with continued gross margin expansion and a strong recurring revenue foundation, now provide us a clear path to achieve cash-flow breakeven sooner than previously expected.”

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $28.2 million compared to $33.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, driven by an expected decline in product revenue to $20.4 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company may report non-GAAP results for gross profit/loss, gross margin, operating expenses, operating margins, net income/loss, basic and diluted net income/loss per share, other income/loss, and cash flows. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. As listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release, the Company’s GAAP financial measures include stock-based compensation expense, as well as severance and related charges net of the reversal of compensation accruals for impacted employees. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense, and severance and related charges arise outside the ordinary course of continuing operations and are not reflective of the Company’s current operating performance. As such, management has excluded the effects of these items in non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance and period-to-period comparisons. There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may exclude significant expenses required by GAAP to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, and may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the Appendix A of this press release.
