Market Reaction
Following the earnings release, Tandem Diabetes Care’s stock dropped ~17% in after-hours trading. The decline appears driven by:
Revenue Miss: Despite growth, sales fell short of expectations, particularly in the U.S. market.
Higher Losses: The deeper-than-expected net loss suggests ongoing cost pressures, including R&D investments.
Guidance Adjustment: The company revised its full-year adjusted EBITDA margin from 3% to -5%, citing a negative impact from acquired in-process R&D expenses.

U.S. sales projected at $700 million.
International sales at $300 million, though impacted by a $10 million headwind from transitioning to direct operations in select markets.
Gross Margin Forecast:53%-54%, indicating continued improvement.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Revised to -5% (from prior guidance of 3%) due to non-recurring R&D charges.
