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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Recent Highlights

  • Recorded net revenue of $36.0 million in the second quarter, a 44% increase compared to $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, and an 8% increase compared to $33.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.
  • Achieved gross margin for the second quarter of 21.4% (22.5% on a non-GAAP basis), compared to 15.1% (15.9% on a non-GAAP basis) in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Initiated the first Tablo home dialysis program with one of the country’s largest health systems with plans to expand to multiple U.S. sites.
  • Achieved the Company’s goal of signing agreements with the majority of U.S. mid-sized dialysis providers, further expanding its reach to patients who choose to dialyze at home.

“Our momentum entering 2023 carried through the second quarter, led by the strong demand from hospitals due to the value realized from insourcing dialysis with Tablo,” said Leslie Trigg, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. “As important, Tablo’s unique ease of use and flexibility continues to drive patient interest and demand from home-care providers, including traditional acute-care providers.”

The Company also announced it has paused the shipment of TabloCart with Prefiltration, an accessory for the Tablo System, pending the Food and Drug Administration’s clearance of a 510(k) the Company plans to submit later this month.

“Since receiving the Warning Letter on July 6, we have made the decision to file a 510(k) for TabloCart with Prefiltration and pause distribution of the product until a 510(k) clearance has been granted,” added Trigg. “As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we expect our strong momentum both in the acute and home end markets to continue to drive the business.”

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. The Company’s financial measures under GAAP include stock-based compensation expense, as listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release. Management has excluded the effects of this non-cash expense item 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.
