Direct-to-consumer revenues increased 24.6% year over year to $36.3 million in the quarter, attributable to enhanced demand for portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) on account of higher COVID-19 vaccination rates within the company’s patient pool, and easing of COVID-19 restrictions resulting in increased ambulation and improved consumer confidence.

Cumulative cash flow provided by operating activities at the end of the third quarter totaled $17.1 million compared with $20.8 million in the prior-year period.

Guidance

Due to the continued uncertainty in the business on account of supply chain disruptions, higher cost of critical components, and the impact and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company refrained from providing a full-year outlook yet.

Wrapping Up

Inogen ended the third quarter on a strong note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat the consensus mark. The company saw growth in revenues within its segments. In the third quarter, the company witnessed strength across direct-to-consumer and international business-to-business segments. The significant expansion in gross margin is positive.

However, weakness in the domestic business-to-business segment is a headwind. Increase in operating expenses remains a concern.
