For the full-year 2020, the company reported adjusted EPS of $3.10, up 68.5% from 2019. The figure also outpaced the consensus mark by 1.3%.
Revenue Details
Total revenues grew 22.9% to $568.9 million on a year-over-year basis and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.9%.

Revenues at the Sensor and other revenue segment (82% of total revenues) climbed 29.5% on a year-over-year basis to $465.6 million. Hardware revenues (18%) remained flat year over year to $103.3 million.
Geographical Details

2021 Guidance
DexCom has decided to reiterate full-year 2021 guidance.

Wrapping Up
DexCom exited the fourth quarter on a mixed note, wherein earnings matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues beat the same. Impressive contribution from the Sensor and other revenue segment, and domestic and international revenue growth were key catalysts. Expansion in gross margin is a positive.
Additionally, the glucose monitoring market presents significant commercial opportunity for this company. DexCom’s prospects in alternative markets such as the non-intensive diabetes management space, the hospital, gestational, pre-diabetes and obesity are likely to provide it a competitive edge in the MedTech space.
Apart from making outstanding progress with respect to strategic objectives, DexCom ended the quarter with record new patient additions and highest gross margin quarter in the past five years.
Meanwhile, cut-throat competition in the market for blood & glucose monitoring devices remains a concern.
