Earnings wrap-up: Inogen down; OptionCare, Viemed up

GOLETA, Calif. - Inogen reported total revenues of $91.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, a 3.7% decrease compared to the same period last year. Net income was $6.9 million vs. $16.4 million. Direct-to-consumer sales decreased to $37.8 million in the third quarter this year compared to $38.3 million for the same period last year, a decrease that was primarily due to a 40% reduction in its sales rep headcount, offset by increased productivity. Domestic business-to-business sales were flat, primarily due to a previously announced decline in orders from one large provider that buys POCs through Inogen's private label partner. Rental revenue was $5.4 million in the third quarter of this year vs. $5.6 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a 6.9% decrease in patients on service, partially offset by higher rental revenue per patient. “We are pleased with our third quarter results and we continue to make progress in addressing the issues we face in our direct-to-consumer sales organization,” said Scott Wilkinson, president and CEO. “Direct-to-consumer sales outperformed in the third quarter, primarily due to our focus on improving the productivity of our existing salesforce, while also investing in new sales representatives to drive future growth. As a result, we expect direct-to-consumer sales to be our fastest growing channel in 2020, contributing to our expected total revenue in 2020 of $410 million to $415 million.”
