SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Recorded net revenue of $27.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 5.5% increase compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 and a 10.8% increase compared to $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2022
Achieved gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 of 15.6%, compared to 11.2% in the third quarter of 2021 and 15.1% in the second quarter of 2022
Resumed shipments to new home patients, and grew the Tablo home patient base beyond initial expectations for the third quarter
Awarded five-year contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs, enabling Tablo to be sold into the 106 VA hospitals across the U.S. as well as into home settings
Strengthened balance sheet and extended cash runway by securing up to $300 million in debt financing

“Our third quarter results reflect the value Tablo is delivering in both the acute and home settings, with console shipments exceeding our initial expectations,” said Leslie Trigg, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Outset. “While we have seen staffing and inflationary pressures persist for our provider customers, we believe our continued expansion in the acute setting and our strong start to rebuilding the home patient pipeline reflects patient preference for Tablo and strong demand across end markets.”

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.
