GOLETA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inogen, Inc. (Nasdaq:INGN), a medical technology company offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare setting, today announced it intends to discuss the company’s future growth drivers, provide a review of its product pipeline, and share additional detail on the company’s financial goals for 2015 during its Investor/Analyst Day today in New York City.
Inogen is also reaffirming its current 2014 guidance, which includes revenues of $106 to $110 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $21.5 to $23.0 million, and net income of $5.5 to $6.0 million.
“Oxygen therapy is a large and growing market opportunity estimated to include 2.5 to 3.0 million patients in the U.S. and representing an approximately $3 to $4 billion market. Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) continue to be the fastest growing oxygen equipment segment in the United States,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Raymond Huggenberger. “In 2013, Inogen was the leading POC supplier in the U.S. for Medicare patients. That momentum has continued into 2014 as we saw better than expected results from our direct-to-consumer sales strategy shift, as well as an increase in domestic business-to-business sales, primarily due to consumer awareness and demand. As we look towards 2015, we see multiple avenues to drive our future growth, including the expansion of our direct-to-consumer network and an increase in our business-to-business distribution, both domestic and international.”
In addition to a general business update, the company will cover an overview of market dynamics based on 2013 Medicare data and an Inogen product development and pipeline review. Tom Williams, Founder & Managing Director, Strategic Dynamics, Inc., will discuss the oxygen therapy market and solutions, including a competitive analysis of four POCs weighing less than 5 lbs, including the Inogen One G3.
Inogen will also offer product demonstrations of its Inogen One G2 and Inogen One G3 POCs, as well as its recently launched Inogen At Home, the lightest stationary oxygen concentrator on the market today.
2015 Outlook
Inogen’s CFO, Ali Bauerlein, will present the company’s financial guidance for 2015 at the meeting. Total revenue in 2015 is expected to be $130 to $135 million, representing 20% to 25% growth over the 2014 guidance mid-point of $108 million, with the fastest growing segment anticipated to be direct-to-consumer sales of greater than 30% year over year. Business-to-business sales domestically and direct-to-consumer rentals are expected to grow greater than 20% year over year, with international sales being the slowest growing segment, growing at greater than 5% year over year. 2015 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $27 to $30 million and Adjusted Net Income is projected to be in the range of $8 million to $9.5 million. The Company expects positive cash flow for the year with no additional equity capital required to meet its current plan.
