I look forward to supporting the company’s continued growth and global expansion.”
Dexcom announces preliminary Q4 results, sets 2023 guidance
Dexcom also today shared preliminary results for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2022. It expects at least $815 million in revenue, representing a 17% increase year-over-year. That includes U.S. revenues expected to total approximately $606 million. Analysts projected $807.7 million in sales for the quarter.
The company said it projects full-year 2022 revenues to total $2.91 billion for a 19% increase over 2021.
Dexcom also shared its sales guidance for fiscal 2023. The company anticipates revenues between $3.35 billion and $3.49 billion. That amounts to 15%-20% growth over 2022. The company attributed the growth to increasing CGM awareness and the launch of the Dexcom G7 CGM in the U.S. Other growth comes from G7’s continued rollout in international markets and further international expansion.
“Dexcom once again delivered strong performance in 2022, highlighted by significant growth in our global customer base and key regulatory clearances of our next-generation G7 CGM system,” said Sayer. “We are excited to hit the ground running in 2023, building upon the CGM access expansion that we have driven over the past year to bring our leading sensor technology and a greater quality of care to many more people with diabetes around the world.”
Shares of DXCM were down more than 5% to 109.93 apiece in morning trading today. MassDevice‘s MedTech 100 Index — which includes stocks of the world’s largest medical device companies — rose more than 7%.
