Tandem Diabetes (TNDM) Q2 Earnings Miss, Sales View Cut
Read MoreHide Full Article
Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (TNDM - Free Report) reported GAAP loss per share of 24 cents for the second quarter of 2022 compared to earnings of 6 cents per share in the year-ago period. This figure also compared unfavorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of earnings of 3 cents per share.
Revenues
Revenues in the quarter came in at $200.3 million, up 16.4% year over year but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.4%. The year-over-year growth was driven by continued strong retention of the company’s worldwide installed base, which is 40% higher than 2021, driving over half of the company’s sales from recurring revenue sources.
Quarter in Detail
Total sales in the United States came in at $145.7 millionin the quarter under review, up 14% year over year. The company registered sales of $54.6 million outside the United States, recording a 23% rise from second-quarter 2021.
U.S. pump shipments were 20,818 units, up 1% year over year. Tandem Diabetes noted that a much healthier environment in the first half of 2021 made the year-over-year comparison difficult.
Meanwhile, pump shipments outside the United States declined 14% to 11,296 pumps.
Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
According to the company, pump shipments to distributors outside the United States were down this time as the second quarter of 2021 had the highest comp shipments ever, due to the timing of distributor orders last year. Tandem Diabetes also noted that shipments to distributors did not correlate to underlying patient demand in the reported quarter.
Margins
Gross profit in the second quarter was $101.9 million, marking 10.3% year-over-year growth. The gross margin was 50.9%, indicating a contraction of 280 basis points (bps).
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 21.2% to $80.6 million in the quarter under review. Research and development expenses also increased 63.8% to $33.6 million.
The company registered an operating loss of $12.2 million in the second quarter, a huge slash from the year-ago operating profit of $5.4 million.
Financial Position
Tandem Diabetes exited the second quarter of 2022 with cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $635.3 million compared with $635.4 million recorded at the end of the first quarter.
2022 Guidance
Tandem Diabetes has reduced its sales guidance for 2022.
For the year, sales are projected in the range of $835-$845 million (down from the prior projection of $850-$865 million), indicating annual sales growth of 19% to 20% (21% to 23% earlier). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2022 revenues is pegged at $855 million.
Full-year sales guidance for the United States is now in the range of $620-$625 million ($635-$645 million earlier).
The company has maintained its full-year sales guidance for outside the United States in the band of $215-$220 million.
Our Take
Tandem Diabetes exited the second quarter with lower-than-expected top-and-bottom-line figures. Although the company delivered year-over-year sales growth, U.S. and outside-U.S. pump shipments in the quarter faced the unfavorable impact of difficult year-over-year comparisons. Further, escalating costs and expenses put pressure on margins.
Factoring the pandemic and competitive pressure as well as the evolving economic environment, including inflation and the threat of recession, the company slashed its full-year guidance.
