Insights

Financial Analyst

Inogen's first quarter financial results demonstrated a positive trajectory with an 8.1% increase in total revenue, indicating a healthy demand for their respiratory products. The shift toward higher international and business-to-business sales is particularly notable, as it may reflect a strategic move to diversify sales channels and reduce reliance on direct consumer interactions, which can be more variable. Furthermore, the improvement in total gross margin from 42.6% to 44.1% suggests effective cost management, especially in the procurement of components. However, investors should be cautious about the net loss figures, despite their year-over-year improvement; it is essential to monitor whether this trend toward narrowing losses will continue and lead to profitability. The lack of debt is a positive sign for financial stability, but the negative adjusted EBITDA highlights ongoing operational challenges. The projected revenue for the second quarter shows optimism, but the company must eventually translate revenue growth into net profit to ensure long-term viability.

Market Research Analyst

Inogen's increased revenue points to effective market penetration, especially in international and business-to-business segments. The company's focus on operational discipline and innovation suggests a commitment to maintaining a competitive edge in the homecare respiratory market. Investors should appreciate Inogen's forward-looking statements regarding strategic priorities and market leadership, which may hint at potential future growth opportunities. However, the decline in direct-to-consumer sales and rentals could indicate shifting market dynamics or increased competition. The company must adapt its marketing and sales strategies accordingly to sustain its market position. Additionally, the 6-month archival of the conference call webcast on the investor relations website is an excellent resource for investors wanting to track management's confidence and strategic plans over time.

GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Inogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN), a medical technology company offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare setting, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We are pleased to be off to a solid start at Inogen in 2024. Looking forward, we remain focused on positioning the business for revenue growth, improving our operating discipline to drive long-term profitability, and investing in our innovation pipeline to broaden our product portfolio,” said Kevin Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The performance in the quarter reflects the quality of the team we have in place, and we will continue executing against our strategic priorities, while strengthening our market leading position. I am excited for the future of Inogen.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

First quarter total revenue increased 8.1% to $78.0 million from $72.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by higher international and domestic business-to business sales, partially offset by lower direct-to-consumer sales and rental revenue.

Total gross margin was 44.1% in the first quarter of 2024 versus 42.6% in the comparative period in 2023. The increase was driven primarily by lower premiums paid for components, partially offset by sales channel mix.

Total operating expense for the quarter was $50.6 million compared to $52.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 3.8%.

GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $14.6 million compared to GAAP net loss of $20.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted net loss was $10.4 million compared to adjusted net loss of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to a negative $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $119.8 million as of March 31, 2024, and no debt outstanding.

Any statements contained in this communication that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “intends,” “potential,” “possible,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including but not limited to, risks related to its announced management and organizational changes, and risks arising from the possibility that Inogen will not realize anticipated future financial performance or strategic goals. In addition, Inogen's business is subject to numerous additional risks and uncertainties, including, among others, risks relating to market acceptance of its products; competition; its sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; its planned sales, marketing, and research and development activities; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, its products; seasonal variations; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; risks associated with international operations; and the possibility that Inogen will not realize anticipated revenue from recent or future technology acquisitions or that expenses and costs related thereto will exceed Inogen’s expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inogen has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of Inogen’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare Inogen’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans, to benchmark Inogen’s performance externally against competitors, and for certain compensation decisions. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Inogen's operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Inogen encourages investors to carefully consider its results under U.S. GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release. For future periods, Inogen is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the amounts of interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes, and certain other infrequently occurring items, such as acquisition-related costs, that may be incurred in the future.
