Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNDM), a global insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and updated its financial guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

Worldwide installed base increased 11 percent to approximately 444,000 in-warranty customers compared to the third quarter 2022.
Published prospective study data demonstrating the immediate and sustained benefit of t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology for one year across approximately 3,000 individuals living with type 1 diabetes.
Commenced initial, limited release of Tandem Mobi in the United States.
Reached the milestone of full U.S. healthcare provider availability of Tandem Source, our second-generation data management application.

“In this transitional year, we are focused on bringing the benefits of our #1 rated automated insulin delivery system to more people living with diabetes worldwide, providing customer care excellence and advancing our scalability initiatives,” said John Sheridan, president and chief executive officer. “There is a large and growing opportunity for Tandem’s technology to drive greater use of automated insulin delivery worldwide, and we are advancing our efforts to expand this adoption through our near-term portfolio of diabetes solutions.”

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results Compared to 2022

In September 2022, the Company began offering the Tandem Choice Program (Tandem Choice) to eligible t:slim X2 customers to provide a pathway to ownership of its newest hardware platform, Tandem Mobi, for a fee when available. As a result of this program, the Company is providing select financial results for both GAAP and non-GAAP. Additional information, including the accounting treatment of this program and other non-GAAP measures, can be found under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP versus Non-GAAP Financial Results” in this press release.

2023 Financial Guidance

“We are reaffirming our U.S. guidance, which is largely based on strong t:slim X2 renewal purchases and supply ordering trends. Our adjusted baseline expectations outside the U.S. factors in new disruption reported by our distribution partners in key markets and relates to the timing and process for new product launches,” said Leigh Vosseller, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We continue to yield positive results from our cost saving initiatives, which is reflected in our reaffirmed margin expectations, as we focus on executing against our growth opportunity with efficiency and discipline.”

For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company is updating its 2023 financial guidance as follows:

Non-GAAP sales⁽¹⁾ are estimated to be at least $765 million.
- Sales inside the United States of at least $575 million.
- Sales outside the United States of at least $190 million.
Non-GAAP gross margin⁽¹⁾ is estimated to be approximately 51 percent.
Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ is estimated to be at least breakeven as a percent of sales.
- Includes approximately 3 percent from the impact of operating costs associated with the acquisitions of Capillary Biomedical and AMF Medical.
Non-cash charges included in cost of goods sold and operating expenses are estimated to be approximately $110 million. This includes:
- Approximately $95 million non-cash, stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this press release to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company’s financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important operating performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company’s core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial results are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company uses such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, they will be calculated using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of each of the GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in Table E “Reconciliation of GAAP versus Non-GAAP Financial Results” attached to this press release.

In particular, the accounting treatment for Tandem Choice has a high degree of complexity. In September 2022 when the program was launched, the Company began deferring a portion of sales for each eligible t:slim X2 pump shipped in the United States. Such deferrals will be recognized on a customer-by-customer basis following the commercial launch of the Company’s new hardware platform, Tandem Mobi. The timing of recognition will be based on either a) an affirmative election to participate in Tandem Choice or b) expiration of the right to participate. Notably:

Offering the program does not impact the economics associated with how or when the initial pump sale is reimbursed.
Customer eligibility is automatic and no election is necessary to participate in Tandem Choice at the time of a t:slim X2 purchase. An affirmative election is only required when the new hardware platform, Tandem Mobi, is commercially available, at which time any customer fees will be received and recognized as a sale.
The expiration date of Tandem Choice is December 31, 2024.

Consistent with SEC regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments that may be made to the Company’s GAAP financial measures in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures.
