ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

In connection with remarks to be made at the J.P. Morgan 29th Annual Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, January 12, 2011, beginning at 9:30 a.m. (pacific time), DexCom’s President and Chief Executive Officer Terry Gregg will report estimated, unaudited product revenues for DexCom of approximately $13.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, up approximately 26% sequentially from the prior quarter. DexCom sold approximately 4,850 starter kits during the fourth quarter of 2010, amounting to an increase of approximately 24% in starter kit units sold compared to the third quarter of 2010. Sequentially, sensor revenues were up approximately 27% compared to the third quarter of 2010. In addition, Mr. Gregg will provide an estimate for DexCom’s fiscal year 2011 product revenue of $67.5 - $72.5 million.

Mr. Gregg’s presentation, which will occur live at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, will be concurrently webcast. The link to the webcast will be available on the DexCom website at www.dexcom.com under the investor relations “events and webcasts” section.

The fourth quarter 2010 unaudited financial results contained in Mr. Gregg’s presentation and in this report are subject to finalization in connection with the preparation of DexCom’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. This report contains, and Mr. Gregg’s presentation on January 12, 2011 will contain, forward-looking statements concerning DexCom’s expectations, plans, anticipations, intentions, estimates, beliefs, potential or strategies regarding the future or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, including those related to our expected revenue, product demand and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on it. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting DexCom will be those that it has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond DexCom’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks associated with DexCom’s dependence on the SEVEN PLUS; DexCom’s ability to increase customer orders; product performance; a lack of acceptance in the marketplace by physicians and patients; adverse changes in general economic conditions; adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to the SEVEN PLUS; DexCom’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for and commercially launch products with our insulin pump and in-hospital partners; possible delays in DexCom’s research and development programs or product approvals; potential supply problems or price fluctuations with sole source or other third-party suppliers on which DexCom is dependent; the inability to reliably manufacture products in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost; DexCom’s inability to raise additional funds in the future on acceptable terms or at all; impact of healthcare reform legislation; the inability of patients to receive reimbursements from third-party payors; DexCom’s ability to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights and to defend against the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc.; the potential violation of federal or state laws prohibiting “kickbacks” or protecting patient health information, or any challenges to or investigations into DexCom’s practices under these laws; product liability lawsuits that may be brought against us; unfavorable results of clinical studies relating to the SEVEN PLUS or DexCom’s in-hospital product; DexCom’s ability to move our manufacturing capacity to a single location in China; DexCom’s ability to attract and retain key personnel; DexCom’s ability to manage growth; fluctuations in quarterly results of operations; and other risks and uncertainties described in DexCom’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2010 in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” as well as in DexCom’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2010. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. DexCom undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
