On July 10, 2019, GlassHouse Research published a detailed report alleging the Company obfuscated its financials over the past two years "by using a variety of accounting gimmicks."

After analyzing Omnicell's accounts receivable (AR), inventory, and capitalized expense diagnostics, GlassHouse concluded that Omnicell (1) prematurely recognized over $38 million in sales revenue, (2) failed to write-off over $23 million in obsolete inventory, and (3) misclassified and accelerated the capitalization of over $38 million in expenses.

This news drove the price of Omnicell shares sharply lower on July 11, 2019.

On July 13, 2019, Omnicell issued a statement generally refuting GlassHouse's claims, but failed to address specific accounting irregularities identified in the research report.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Omnicell and senior management may have misled investors by manipulating the Company's reported financials in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers:  Persons with non-public information regarding Omnicell should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.  Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.  For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email OMCL@hbsslaw.com.
