| Summary of Risk Factors |
The below summary of risk factors provides an overview of many of the risks we are exposed to in the normal course of our business activities. As a result, the below summary risks do not contain all of the information that may be important to you, and you should read the summary risks together with the more detailed discussion of risks set forth following this section under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks, beyond those summarized below or discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, may apply to our activities or operations as currently conducted or as we may conduct them in the future or in the markets in which we operate or may in the future operate. Consistent with the foregoing, we are exposed to a variety of risks, including risks associated with the following:
-
If we experience decreasing prices for our products and we are unable to reduce our expenses, including the per unit cost of producing our products, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
-
Although many third-party payors have adopted some form of coverage policy for continuous glucose monitoring devices, our products do not always have such coverage, including simple broad-based contractual coverage with third-party payors, and we frequently experience administrative challenges in obtaining coverage or reimbursement for our products. If we are unable to obtain adequately broad coverage or reimbursement for our products or any future products from third-party payors, our revenue may be negatively impacted.
-
The research and development efforts we undertake independently, and in some instances in connection with our collaborations with third parties, may not result in the development of commercially viable products, the generation of significant future revenues or adequate profitability.
-
Our products may not achieve or maintain market acceptance.
-
If we, our suppliers, or our distributors fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, including responding to the FDA warning letter, or if we have unanticipated problems with our products, the products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.
-
If our manufacturing capabilities are insufficient to produce an adequate supply of product at appropriate quality levels, our growth could be limited and our business could be harmed.
-
Manufacturing difficulties and/or any disruption at our facilities may adversely affect our manufacturing operations and related product sales, and increase our expenses.
-
We depend upon third-party suppliers and outsource to other parties, making us vulnerable to supply disruptions, suboptimal quality, non-compliance and/or price fluctuations, which could harm our business.
-
If we are unable to establish and maintain adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and/or enter into and maintain arrangements with third parties to sell, market and distribute our products, we may have difficulty achieving market awareness and selling our products in the future.
-
We operate in a highly competitive market and face competition from large, well-established companies with significant resources, and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively.
-
We are subject to a variety of risks due to our international operations that could adversely affect our business, our operations or profitability and operating results.
-
We are subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations and other requirements regarding privacy, data protection, security, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.
-
Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents could result in the compromise of confidential data or critical data systems and give rise to potential harm to customers, remediation and other expenses, expose us to liability under HIPAA, consumer protection laws, or other common law theories, subject us to litigation and federal and state governmental inquiries, damage our reputation, and otherwise be disruptive to our business and operations.
-
We conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with applicable laws and government regulations, we could become subject to penalties, be excluded from participation in government programs, and/or be required to make significant changes to our operations.
-
Managed care trends and consolidation in the health care industry could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
-
If we are unable to successfully complete the pre-clinical studies or clinical trials necessary to support additional PMA, de novo, or 510(k) applications or supplements, we may be unable to commercialize our CGM systems under development, which could impair our business, financial condition and operating results.
-
Health care policy changes, including U.S. health care reform legislation, may have a material adverse effect on our business.
-
We are subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit us from shipping affected products, require us to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives, and subject us to substantial monetary damages and injunctive relief. We may also be subject to other claims or suits.
-
Our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property could allow our competitors and others to produce products based on our technology, which could substantially impair our ability to compete.
-
We face the risk of product liability claims and may be subject to damages, fines, penalties and injunctions, among other things.
-
We could become the subject of governmental investigations, claims and litigation.
-
We have incurred significant losses in the past and may incur losses in the future.
-
Our stock price is highly volatile and investing in our stock involves a high degree of risk, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
-
We have indebtedness in the form of convertible senior notes, which could adversely affect our financial health and our ability to respond to changes in our business.

Sustainability (including environmental, social and governance) regulations, policies and provisions could expose us to numerous risks.
PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
| Overview |
We are a medical device company primarily focused on the design, development and commercialization of continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, systems for the management of diabetes and metabolic health by patients, caregivers, and clinicians around the world.
We received approval from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and commercialized our first product in 2006. We launched our latest generation systems, the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, or G7, in 2023, and the Dexcom G7 15 Day Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, or G7 15 Day, in late 2025. In August 2024, we launched Stelo, our biosensor designed for adults with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin, as the first over-the-counter glucose biosensor in the U.S.
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” or “Dexcom” refer to DexCom, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Products
Dexcom G7 and G7 15 Day
In March 2022, we obtained Conformité Européenne Marking, or CE Mark, approval for G7. In December 2022, we obtained marketing authorization from the FDA for the G7 via the 510(k) review process. The G7 is an integrated continuous glucose monitoring system, or iCGM, and is classified as a Class II device by the FDA, and is subject to special controls for iCGMs that outline requirements for assuring CGM accuracy, reliability and clinical relevance, and which also outlines the type of studies and data required to demonstrate acceptable CGM performance. The glucose value algorithm, ability to communicate with approved display and mobile devices, and compatibility with Dexcom Clarity, our cloud-based reporting software, are all substantially equivalent in technical performance and capability to the prior generation Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring Integrated System, or G6. The G7 is cleared in the United States for all people with diabetes ages two years and older, giving more people than ever access to a powerfully simple diabetes management solution.
In April 2025, we obtained marketing authorization from the FDA for the G7 15 Day via the 510(k) review process for people over the age of 18 with diabetes in the United States. Like the G7, the G7 15 Day is an iCGM classified as a Class II device by the FDA, and is subject to iCGM special controls. The G7 15 Day extends the wear period to 15.5 days and is generally consistent with our prior generation CGM systems in its technical capabilities and its indications.
In the United States, the G7 is covered by Medicare and Medicaid in the majority of states and by commercial insurers, subject to satisfaction of certain eligibility and coverage criteria for individuals with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. G7 15 Day will also be covered for Medicare beneficiaries and has met the category requirements for therapeutic CGM systems set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS. With an overall Mean Absolute Relative Difference, or MARD, of 8.0%, as well as 94.2% of values within 20% of their comparator, the G7 15 Day is the most accurate CGM cleared by the FDA and is clinically proven to lower A1C (a blood test that provides information about average levels of blood glucose, over the prior three months), reduce hyper- and hypoglycemia, and increase time in range.
The G7 and G7 15 Day carry forward important features of prior generation Dexcom CGM systems:
-
Finger stick elimination.** No finger sticks are needed for calibration or diabetes treatment decisions, consistent with the instructions for use, unless symptoms do not match readings.
-
Continuous glucose readings.** Automatically sends glucose readings to a Dexcom receiver or compatible display device every five minutes.
-
Mobile app and sharing.** Compatibility with mobile device applications allows for sharing glucose information with up to 10 other people for added support and care coordination.
-
Designed to integrate with the world’s largest connected CGM ecosystem** (including insulin pumps and smart insulin pens, Apple Watch, Garmin and other digital health apps).
-
Customizable alarms and alerts.** Personalized alert schedule immediately warns the user of pending dangerous high and low blood sugar levels.
-
Easy sensor application.** Complete redesign of the sensor applicator allows for one-touch, simple self-insertion.
-
Medication blocking.** New feature allows for more accurate glucose readings without interference from common medications taken at typical indication doses, such as acetaminophen.
-
Predictive low alert.** Alert feature intended to predict hypoglycemia before it hits to help avoid dangerous low blood sugar events.
-
Extended 15.5 day disposable sensor and 10-day disposable sensor, for the G7 15 Day and G7, respectively.**
The G7 and G7 15 Day also have a number of new or improved features compared to our prior generation devices:
-
An even more discreet and low profile.** A redesigned transmitter makes for an all-in-one wearable, combining our sensor and transmitter that is 60% smaller than the G6, making it even more comfortable and easier to wear under clothing.
-
Faster warm up.** 30-minute sensor warm up for the G7, fastest of any CGM on the market, and 60-minute sensor warm up for the G7 15 Day.
-
Expanded time to replace sensors.** 12-hour grace period to replace finished sensors for a more seamless transition between sessions.
-
New mobile app.** Redesigned and simplified mobile app with Dexcom Clarity integration.
-
Improved alert settings for enhanced discretion at the user’s option**.
-
Redesigned receiver.** The optional receiver is smaller, with a more vibrant, easier to read display.
-
New indications for use.** For the G7, indicated in the United States for wear on the back of the upper arm for ages 2 years and older or the upper buttocks for ages 2-6 years old.
-
Less waste.** Smaller plastic components and packaging, resulting in less waste than the G6.
Other than the foregoing, the G7 and the G7 15 Day are generally consistent with our prior generation CGM systems in its technical capabilities and its indications. Since the G7 and G7 15 Day are classified by the FDA as a Class II device, special controls and modifications of, or revisions to, the device may be made under the 510(k) process.
Dexcom G6
In March 2018, we obtained marketing authorization from the FDA for the G6 via the de novo process. The G6 was the first type of CGM system permitted by the FDA to be used as part of an integrated system with other compatible medical devices and electronic interfaces, which may include automated insulin delivery systems, insulin pumps, blood glucose meters or other electronic devices used for diabetes management.
In June 2018, we received CE Mark approval for the G6, which allows us to market the system in the European Union and the countries in Asia and Latin America that recognize the CE Mark, as well as New Zealand, though certain countries may require compliance with certain local administrative requirements and/or additional marketing authorizations (for example, the inclusion of medical devices on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods in Australia).
We anticipate transitioning our G6 customers to our G7 and G7 15 Day sensor systems by the end of 2026.
Dexcom ONE+
In November 2023, we obtained CE Mark approval for our Dexcom ONE+ CGM system, or Dexcom ONE+, which we have launched in several countries in Europe. Dexcom ONE+ carries many of the same features as the G7, and is indicated for persons, including pregnant women, ages 2 years and older. Like our other CGM systems, Dexcom ONE+ is designed to replace finger stick blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions. Our previous generation Dexcom ONE CGM syst

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our short and long-term success is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors that are difficult to predict or beyond our control. Before making a decision to invest in, hold or sell our common stock, stockholders and potential stockholders should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the other information we file with the SEC, including our subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. If any of the following risks are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the value of our common stock could decline and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment. Furthermore, additional risks and uncertainties of which we are currently unaware, or which we currently consider to be immaterial, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Refer to our disclaimer regarding forward-looking statements at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
| Risks Related to Our Business and Operations |
| Risks Related to Pricing and Reimbursement |
If we experience decreasing prices for our products and we are unable to reduce our expenses, including the per unit cost of producing our products, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have experienced, and anticipate that we will continue to experience, decreasing prices for our products due to future reimbursement changes under Medicare and pricing pressure from managed care organizations and other third-party payors.
In the United States and other countries, government and private sector access to health care products continues to be a subject of focus, and efforts to reduce health care costs are being made by third-party payors. Most of our customers rely on third-party payors, including government programs and private health insurance plans, to cover the cost of the G6, G7, G-7 15 Day, Dexcom One, and Dexcom ONE+. We expect that these continuing cost reduction and containment measures could result in lower prices for these products and lower reimbursement rates, as well as could lead to patients being unable to obtain approval for coverage or payment from these third-party payors resulting in costs being shifted to patients for these products. Additionally, we may experience pricing pressure if our products are increasingly subject to competitive bidding processes, which include substantial costs and managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us or may be split among competitors. For example, in June 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published a proposed rule that would subject continuous glucose monitors to the competitive bidding process, which could negatively impact our reimbursement and result in price decreases. In late 2025, CMS extended the DMEPOS competitive bidding program to include our CGMs and receivers, with contracting beginning in 2027 and payment changes taking effect in 2028. Under the program, DMEPOS suppliers compete to become Medicare contract suppliers by submitting bids to furnish certain items in CBAs. CMS anticipates that ten (10) contracts will be awarded for CGMs. However, while the competitive bidding program previously used CBAs for contract awards, CMS determined that for CGMs and certain other DME, a RID CBA was more appropriate. It remains to be seen whether CGMs will be covered under a single, nationwide RID CBA or whether regional RID CBAs will be established. In any event, the bid process is expected to result in lower Medicare reimbursement for CGM systems, particularly because CMS is changing the pricing under the RID CBA by setting a single payment amount for covered items at the 75th percentile of the winning bids, rather than using the maximum winning bid. Further, CMS has reclassified CGMs and insulin infusion pumps to items that require frequent and substantial servicing and will phase in monthly rental payments for these items. CMS will bundle the rental amount for the receiver device with payment for the supplies and accessories in the new payment amount. The bid limit will be monthly fee schedule amounts for the supplies plus the average purchase fee schedule amounts for the CGM receiver device divided by 60 (intended to capture the 5-year useful life of the device.) As a result, we expect that Medicare reimbursement for our CGM systems will decrease beginning in 2028. CMS is required by law to recompete these contracts at least once every three years and to roll out the competitive bidding process nationally or adjust prices in non-competitive bidding areas to match competitive bidding prices. The implementation of the competitive bidding program is expected to result in reduced Medicare payment for CGMs in both competitive bidding areas and non-competitive bidding areas. Additionally, the new bidding system will contain a “country of origin” question to obtain information on where products are manufactured; however, it is unclear how CMS intends to use this information. Given that we maintain offshore manufacturing facilities, country of origin reporting could have an impact on our business. Competitive bidding could negatively impact our reimbursement and result in price decreases. To the extent these
cost containment efforts are not offset by greater patient access to our products, our revenue may be reduced and our business may be harmed.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the budget reconciliation bill (entitled “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, or the Bill) to meet spending targets aimed at funding the Administration’s domestic priorities that includes significant changes to the Medicaid program. Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, preliminary estimates show that the Medicaid provisions would reduce Medicaid spending by $1 trillion and will increase the number of people without health insurance by at least 11.8 million by 2034. Some key proposed changes to the Medicaid Program include, but are not limited to: work requirements; cost sharing of up to $35 per service on expansion adults who exceed the official poverty threshold; stricter eligibility requirements for non-U.S. citizens; requirements for states to conduct eligibility redeterminations at least every six months for Medicaid expansion adults; and prohibitions on states from establishing any new provider taxes or from increasing the rates of existing taxes, among other changes. Decreased federal funding and stricter eligibility requirements may result in more restrictive Medicaid programs at the state level and fewer individuals eligible for coverage, which could have an adverse impact on the number of individuals who seek to use our products and services.
Despite the ACA going into effect over a decade ago, there have been numerous legal and Congressional challenges to the law’s provisions and the effect of certain provisions have made compliance costly. For instance, changes to the ACA included in the Bill, including shortening enrollment periods and eliminating automatic reenrollment, could reduce ACA enrollment. We expect material changes in health policy, enforcement initiatives, and coverage and reimbursement for health care items and services from the Trump Administration and Congress. As such, our costs to monitor these changes and respond to

Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management and Strategy
We have processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, which are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management processes. The processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including threats associated with our use of third-party service providers and those that leverage artificial intelligence, include identifying the relevant assets that could be affected, determining possible threat sources and threat events, assessing threats based on their potential likelihood and impact, and identifying controls that are in place or necessary to manage and/or mitigate such risks.
We have established cybersecurity and privacy programs to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy of protected information and ensure compliance with relevant security/privacy regulations, contractual requirements, and industry-standard frameworks. Our cybersecurity program includes annual review and assessment by external, independent third parties, who certify and report on these programs. For example, our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is certified as being in conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 by PRI Certification. We maintain cybersecurity and privacy policies and procedures in accordance with industry-standard control frameworks and applicable regulations, laws, and standards. All corporate cybersecurity policies are reviewed and approved by senior leadership at least annually as part of our ISMS.
Our cybersecurity controls, which are the mechanisms in place to prevent, detect and mitigate threats in accordance with our policies and procedures, are based on the regulatory requirements to which we are subject and are monitored and tested both internally and externally by third parties at least annually. These controls include regular system updates and patches, employee training on cybersecurity and privacy requirements, incident reporting, and the use of encryption to secure sensitive information. In addition, we also regularly perform phishing tests of our employees and update our training plan at least annually. We maintain business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities to mitigate interruptions to critical information systems and/or the loss of data and services from the effects of natural or man-made disasters to Dexcom locations. We also provide annual privacy and security training for all employees. Our security training incorporates awareness of cyber threats (including but not limited to malware, ransomware and social engineering attacks), password hygiene, incident reporting process, as well as physical security best practices.
In the last three fiscal years, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents and the expenses we have incurred from security incidents were immaterial. As a result, we do not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected us, our results of operations and financial condition. However, as discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report, cybersecurity threats pose multiple risks to us, including potentially to our results of operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Privacy and Security.” As cybersecurity threats become more frequent, sophisticated and coordinated, it is reasonably likely that we will be required to expend greater resources as we pursue our strategy of continuously modifying and enhancing our protective measures while developing and commercializing products that incorporate our CGM technologies and integrate with the insulin delivery systems or data platforms of our partners. The technology integration and cloud-based depository platforms we continue to focus on can make us more vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, thereby making our pursuit of such strategies more costly.
Governance
Our Board of Directors, or the Board, is responsible for exercising oversight of management’s identification and management of, and planning for, risks from cybersecurity threats. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board has delegated oversight responsibility related to risks from cybersecurity threats to the Board’s Technology Committee. The Technology Committee reports to the Board as necessary with respect to its activities, including making such reports and recommendations to the Board and its other committees as necessary and appropriate and consistent with its purpose, described below.
The Technology Committee, comprised of independent Board members, is responsible for reviewing cybersecurity, privacy, data protection and other major technology risk exposures of the Company, the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, and the Company’s compliance with applicable cybersecurity and data privacy laws and industry standards. These reviews are provided at least annually. The Technology Committee receives management updates and reports, primarily through the Company’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Committee, a multidisciplinary team responsible for the overall governance, decision-making, risk management, awareness and compliance for cybersecurity and privacy activities across the Company.

Securities Class Actions
Between August 21 and October 9, 2024, three substantially similar putative class action complaints were filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. On December 13, 2024, the court appointed lead plaintiff and consolidated the three actions (now captioned In re Dexcom, Inc. Class Action Securities Litigation, Lead Case No.: 24-cv-1485-RSH-VET). On January 27, 2025, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of the Exchange Act against us and certain of our current and former executive officers for allegedly making false and misleading statements between April 28, 2023 and July 25, 2024, with respect to our expected revenue for fiscal 2024 and ability to capitalize on our growth potential. On March 13, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On May 14, 2025, the court granted the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. On May 28, 2025, lead plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint. On June 11, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint. On September 9, 2025, the court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss. On October 7, 2025, defendants answered the amended consolidated complaint. On October 10, 2025, defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings as to the two surviving challenged statements. On January 7, 2026, the court granted defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings with leave to amend. On February 6, 2026, lead plaintiff filed a second amended consolidated complaint. Defendants’ deadline to respond to the second amended consolidated complaint is February 20, 2026.
On October 27, 2025, a putative class action complaint was filed against us and certain of our executive officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (captioned Prime v. Dexcom, Inc., et al, Case No.: 1:25-cv-08912). The complaint alleges violations of the Exchange Act against us and certain of our executive officers for allegedly making false and misleading statements between July 26, 2024 and September 17, 2025, with respect to the accuracy, reliability, and functionality of our G7 device, as well as our enhancements to and manufacturing of the device. A lead plaintiff has been appointed and must file an amended complaint no later than April 10, 2026. Our deadline to respond to the amended complaint is June 9, 2026.
Derivative Actions
Between September 13 and April 14, 2025, three putative stockholders filed derivative lawsuits against us and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The derivative complaints allege factual allegations largely tracking allegations made in the In re Dexcom, Inc. Securities Class Action Litigation and seek, among other things, damages and restitution to be paid to the Company by the individual defendants, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs. These actions have been consolidated (captioned In Re: Dexcom, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No.: 24-cv-1645-RSH-VET), and are currently stayed pending a resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the In re Dexcom, Inc. Securities Class Action Litigation.
On September 25, 2025, an additional derivative lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The allegations largely track those made in the In re Dexcom, Inc. Securities Class Action Litigation and seek, among other things, damages and restitution to be paid to the Company by the individual defendants, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs. This action This action is currently stayed pending a resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the In re Dexcom, Inc. Securities Class Action Litigation.
G6 and G7 Class Action Litigation
Between September 29, 2025, and January 8, 2026, various plaintiffs, purported users of G6 or G7 devices, filed six overlapping putative class action complaints against us. Four of the complaints originally were filed and are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (Levens, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-02565-BJC-BLM; Estravit v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-02845-BJC-BLM; and Dalora v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-03210-BJC-BLM; Dickinson, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc. Dickinson, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:26-cv-00102-BJC-BLM); one of the complaints originally was filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California, and subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (Grisoli, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-03488-BJC-BLM); and one of the complaints was filed and is pending in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California (Chatelain v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 25STCV30722). Plaintiffs in all six actions allege they overpaid for G6 and/or G7 devices or components that were worth less than the purchase price because, among other reasons, G6 and/or G7 devices or components they purchased allegedly were adulterated or misbranded under federal law; G6 and/or G7 devices or components they purchased allegedly failed to perform as advertised; and because we allegedly misled patients and providers about the safety, accuracy, efficacy, and reliability of G6 and/or G7 devices or components. Plaintiffs in each action assert various state law consumer protection, express and implied warranty, common law, and Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act claims, and seek, among other things, damages for economic losses, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to represent nationwide classes and state-specific subclasses of individuals.
The five cases in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California have been deemed related cases and have been assigned to a single judge. On December 30, 2025, and January 5, 2026, plaintiffs filed motions to consolidate the four federal court cases, to appoint interim class counsel, and to establish a briefing schedule on competing motions to appoint interim class counsel. The Court has stayed all deadlines to respond to the complaints in four of the federal court actions (Levens, Estravit, Dalora, and Grisoli) pending the filing of a consolidated complaint. Our deadline to respond to the complaint in Dickinson currently is March 23, 2026.
In the putative class action pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court, our initial status conference is scheduled for February 23, 2026. The case is stayed until at least the February 23, 2026, status conference.
We intend to vigorously defend against such claims; however, we cannot be certain of the outcome of our ongoing proceedings and, if determined adversely to us, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We do not believe we are party to any other currently pending legal proceedings, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. There can be no assurance that existing or future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.
| Overview |
| Who We Are | |||||
| We are a medical device company primarily focused on the design, development and commercialization of CGM systems for the management of diabetes and metabolic health by patients, caregivers, and clinicians around the world. We received approval from the FDA and commercialized our first product in 2006. We launched our latest generation systems, the G7 in 2023, and the G7 15 Day in late 2025. In August 2024, we launched Stelo, our biosensor designed for adults with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin, as the first over-the-counter glucose biosensor in the U.S. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” or “Dexcom” refer to DexCom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. |
| Global Presence | |||||
| We have built a direct sales organization in North America and certain international markets to call on health care professionals, such as endocrinologists, physicians and diabetes educators, who can educate and influence patient adoption of continuous glucose monitoring. To complement our direct sales efforts, we have entered into distribution arrangements in North America and several international markets that allow distributors to sell our products. | |||||
| Future Developments | |||||
| Product Development: We plan to develop future generations of technologies that are focused on improved performance and convenience and that will enable intelligent insulin administration. Over the longer term, we plan to continue to develop and improve networked platforms with open architecture, connectivity and transmitters capable of communicating with other devices. We also intend to expand our efforts to accumulate CGM patient data and metrics and apply predictive modeling and machine learning to generate interactive CGM insights that can inform patient behavior. | |||||
| Partnerships: We continue to support partnerships with insulin pump companies and companies or institutions developing insulin delivery systems, including automated insulin delivery systems. With the introduction of Stelo, we are also pursuing and supporting development partnerships with consumer technology product companies that seek to provide metabolic health insights to their customers. | |||||
| New Opportunities: We are also exploring how to extend our offerings to other opportunities, including for people with pre-diabetes, people who are obese, people who are pregnant, and people in the hospital setting. Eventually, we may apply our technological expertise to products beyond glucose monitoring. |
| Critical Accounting Estimates |
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting estimates are most critical to a full understanding and evaluation of our reported financial results. Members of our senior management have discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates and their disclosure in this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Pharmacy Rebates
We estimate pharmacy rebates based on contractual arrangements, estimates of products sold subject to rebate, known events or trends, and channel inventory data. Pharmacy rebates are the most significant component of variable consideration estimates included in the calculation of the transaction price and most at risk for material adjustment because of the time delay between the recording of the pharmacy rebate and its ultimate settlement, an interval that generally ranges from 30 to 90 days, but can last up to one year. Due to this time lag, in any given period, our adjustments to reflect actual amounts can incorporate changes of estimates related to prior periods.
Historically, adjustments to these estimates to reflect actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business and generally have been less than 1% of revenue. An increase or decrease of 1% in our estimate of products sold subject to rebate during 2025, holding all other assumptions constant, would increase or decrease revenue by approximately $50.1 million.
Inventory Reserves
We assess the value of our inventory on a quarterly basis and write down inventories to the lower of their cost or net realizable value based on quality control data, obsolescence, or excess relative to our forecasted demand. Significant judgment is applied in evaluating quality control testing data, assessing whether non-conforming inventory can be remediated, reworked, or otherwise partially recovered, and in some cases, estimating our forecasted demand.
If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts, or actual demand from our customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to record additional inventory write-downs. Similarly, if remediation outcomes differ from our assumptions, additional adjustments may be necessary. Conversely, if actual conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower cost of sales and higher income from operations than expected in that period. At December 31, 2025, a 1% change in the inventory reserve expense recognized during the year would not have resulted in a material change in inventory and cost of goods sold.
Income Taxes
We estimate our income taxes based on the various jurisdictions where we conduct business. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and the potential for future adjustment of our uncertain tax positions by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing jurisdictions. While we believe we have appropriate support for the positions taken on our tax returns, we regularly assess the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, income taxes payable, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known.
We use the asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as described in Note 1 “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies—Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report. Significant judgment is required to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings in applicable tax jurisdictions. We maintain a valuation allowance on our California research and development tax credits, foreign tax credits and certain foreign intangible assets, as it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach as described in Note 1 “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies—Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions and is based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits and effective settlement of audit issues. Changes in the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions could result in material increases or decreases in our income tax expense in the period in which we make the change, which could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and operating results.
Loss Contingencies
We are subject to certain legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. Significant judgment is required in the determination of the expected outcome (i.e., whether a potential loss is probable, reasonably possible, or remote), as well as in the determination of whether a potential exposure is reasonably estimable. We evaluate the nature of the claim, the stage of the proceedings, prior case outcomes, and input from legal counsel. We base our judgments on the best information available at the time and regularly reassess as new facts emerge.

Revenue
We generate our revenue from the sale of disposable sensors and our reusable transmitter and receiver, collectively referred to as Reusable Hardware. We expect that the revenue we generate from the sales of our products will fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We typically experience seasonality, with lower sales in the first quarter of each year compared to the immediately preceding fourth quarter. This seasonal sales pattern relates to U.S. annual insurance deductible resets and unfunded flexible spending accounts.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes direct labor and materials costs related to each product sold or produced, including assembly, test labor and scrap, as well as factory overhead supporting our manufacturing operations. Factory overhead includes facilities, material procurement and control, manufacturing engineering, quality assurance, supervision and management. These costs are primarily salary, fringe benefits, share-based compensation, facility expense, supplies and purchased services. All of our manufacturing costs are included in cost of sales. In addition, amortization of certain licensing related intangibles are also included in cost of sales.
Research and development
Our research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering and research expenses related to our sensing technology, clinical trials, regulatory expenses, quality assurance programs, employee compensation, and business process outsourcers.
Selling, general and administrative
Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee compensation for our executive, financial, sales, marketing, information technology and administrative functions. Other significant expenses include commissions, marketing and advertising, IT software license costs, insurance, professional fees for our outside legal counsel and independent auditors, litigation expenses, patent application expenses and consulting expenses.
Other income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest and dividend income on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities portfolio, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, realized and unrealized gains and losses on marketable and non-marketable equity investments, including changes in fair value, and interest expense related to our senior convertible notes.

We added approximately 600,000 - 700,000 net customers, excluding Stelo customers, to our worldwide customer base in 2025. The increase was offset by pricing headwinds due to greater rebate eligibility and channel mix. | |||||||
| Cost of sales & Gross profit | Cost of sales and gross profit increased primarily due to an increase in sales volume driven by the addition of approximately 600,000 - 700,000 net customers, excluding Stelo customers, to our worldwide customer base in 2025. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by inefficiencies associated with ensuring supply availability, build configurations that lowered production yield, and total replacement costs. |
| Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
| Research and development expense | Research and development expense increased primarily due to $37.3 million in higher compensation and related costs. We continue to believe that focused investments in research and development are critical to our future growth and competitive position in the marketplace, and to the development of new and updated products and services that are central to our core business strategy. | |||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expense | Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to $83.7 million in higher compensation and related costs, $9.1 million in higher software and data costs, offset by $87.2 million in lower legal expense primarily related to a patent infringement lawsuit that was settled in December 2024. | |||||||
| Other income, net | Other income, net, increased primarily due to $79.5 million in higher net gains on equity investments and $8.7 million in higher net foreign currency gains, offset by $21.5 million in lower interest and dividend income on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities portfolio. The decrease in interest income was primarily related to a change in market interest rates, as well as a decrease in the average invested balances compared to the same period in 2024. | |||||||
| Income tax expense | The income tax expense recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from normal, recurring operations increased by shortfalls recognized for share-based compensation for employees, net of nondeductible executive compensation, offset by the tax benefit related to the commencement of our Malaysia tax holiday. The income tax expense recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to income tax expense from normal, recurring operations, partially offset by excess tax benefits recognized for share-based compensation for employees, net of nondeductible executive compensation, the Verily milestone payment, the impacts of certain foreign tax return filings and generation of research and development tax credits. The increase in our effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily attributable to impacts of shortfalls on share-based compensation, a non-recurring benefit related to the Verily milestone payment during 2024, offset by the tax benefit related to the commencement of our Malaysia tax holiday. |
| Liquidity and Capital Resources |
| Overview, Capital Resources, and Capital Requirements |
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, proceeds from our senior convertible notes issuances, and access to our Credit Facility. Our primary uses of cash have been for research and development programs, selling and marketing activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions of businesses, and debt service costs.
We expect that cash provided by our operations may fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, working capital requirements and capital deployment decisions. We have historically invested our cash primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade, highly liquid obligations of U.S. government agencies, commercial paper, corporate debt, and money market funds. Certain of these investments are subject to general credit, liquidity and other market risks. The general condition of the financial markets and the economy may increase those risks and may affect the value and liquidity of investments and restrict our ability to access the capital markets.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:
| The evolution of the international expansion of our business and the revenue generated by sales of our approved products and any future products; | Our ability to efficiently scale our operations to meet demand for our current and any future products; | The success of our research and development efforts; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The expenses we incur in manufacturing, developing, selling and marketing our products; | The costs, timing and risks of delays of additional regulatory approvals; | The costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The quality levels of our products and services; | The emergence of competing or complementary technological developments; | The terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish; and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The third-party reimbursement of our products for our customers; | The rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other development activities; | The acquisition of businesses, products and technologies and our ability to integrate and manage any acquired businesses, products and technologies. |
We expect that existing cash and short-term investments and cash flows from our future operations will generally be sufficient to fund our ongoing core business. As current borrowing sources become due, we may be required to access the capital markets for additional funding. As we assess inorganic growth strategies, we may need to supplement our internally generated cash flow with outside sources. In the event that we are required to access the debt market, we believe that we will be able to secure reasonable borrowing rates. As part of our liquidity strategy, we will continue to monitor our current level of earnings and cash flow generation as well as our ability to access the market in light of those earning levels.
A substantial portion of our operations are located in the United States, and the majority of our sales since inception have been made in U.S. dollars. As we continue to expand our manufacturing sites in Ireland and Malaysia, we will be subject to additional foreign exchange currency risk. See “Foreign Currency Exchange Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Main Sources of Liquidity
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities totaled $2.00 billion as of December 31, 2025. None of those funds were restricted and $1.66 billion (approximately 83%) of those funds were located in the United States.
Cash flows from Operations
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, we had positive cash flows of $1.44 billion from operating activities. We anticipate that we will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future.
Senior Convertible Notes
We received net proceeds of $1.23 billion in May 2023 from the 2028 Notes offering. We used $289.9 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2028 Notes to purchase capped call transactions and repurchase shares of our common stock in May 2023. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, including working capital needs. We may also use the net proceeds to expand our current business through in-licensing or acquisitions of, or investments in, other businesses, products or technologies; however, we do not have any significant commitments with respect to any such acquisitions or investments at this time.
In connection with the 2028 Notes offering, we purchased the 2028 Capped Calls. See Note 4 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our senior convertible notes and the 2028 Capped Calls.
Amended Credit Agreement
As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings, $7.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, and a total available balance of $192.1 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. We monitor counterparty risk associated with the institutional lenders that are providing the Credit Facility. We currently believe that the Credit Facility will be available to us should we choose to borrow under it. Revolving loans will be available for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. See Note 4 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the Amended Credit Agreement.
Short-term Liquidity Requirements
As of December 31, 2025, our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of regular operating costs, interest payments related to our 2028 Notes, capital expenditures for the development of our manufacturing facilities and office spaces, and short-term material cash requirements as described below. As of December 31, 2025, we had a working capital ratio of 1.88 and a quick ratio of 1.50, which indicates that our current assets are sufficient to cover our short-term liabilities. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures for the next year as we continue to invest in equipment and our manufacturing facilities.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balances, projected cash contributions from our commercial operations, and borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated seasonal working capital needs, all capital expenditure requirements, material cash requirements as described herein, and meet other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months. We may continue to use cash to repurchase shares of our common stock, including pursuant to the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, or for other strategic initiatives that strengthen our foundation for long-term growth.
Long-term Liquidity Requirements
Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of interest and principal payments related to our 2028 Notes, capital expenditures for the development of our manufacturing facilities and office spaces, and long-term material cash requirements as described below. As of December 31, 2025, we had a debt-to-assets ratio of 0.20, which indicates that our total assets are sufficient to cover our debts. As demand grows for our products, we will continue to expand global operations to meet demand through investments in manufacturing and operations. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements from our main sources of liquidity as described above to support our future operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations beyond the next 12 months.
As of December 31, 2025, we have outstanding senior convertible notes classified as long-term that will mature in May 2028. However, the outstanding principal of our senior convertible notes could be converted into cash and/or shares of our common stock prior to maturity once certain conditions are met. See Note 4 “Debt—Senior Convertible Notes” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for information on conversion rights prior to maturity.
Material Cash Requirements
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we enter into a variety of purchase arrangements including but not limited to, purchase arrangements related to capital expenditures, components used in manufacturing, and research and development activities. See Note 5 “Leases and Other Commitments—Purchase Commitments” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information.
Our obligations under the 2028 Notes include both principal and interest payments. Prior to the maturity of the 2028 Notes in May 2028, they may be converted into cash and/or shares of our common stock if certain conditions are met. Any conversion prior to maturity may result in repayment of the principal amounts due under the Notes sooner than the scheduled repayment.
As market conditions warrant, we may, from time to time, repurchase our outstanding debt securities or shares of our common stock, including pursuant to the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, by exchange transaction or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity and other factors and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The amounts involved and total consideration paid may be material. See Note 8 “Employee Benefit Plans and Stockholders’ Equity—Share Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information about our 2025 Share Repurchase Program.
See Note 4 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information about the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, our senior convertible notes, and the 2028 Capped Calls.
We are party to various leasing arrangements, primarily for office, manufacturing and warehouse space that expire at various times through 2040, including any renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. We also have land leases in Penang, Malaysia that expire in 2082 and Athenry, Ireland that expire in 3023 related to our international manufacturing facilities. We anticipate incurring significant expenditures related to the build-out of our manufacturing facilities and investment in equipment. See Note 5 “Leases and Other Commitments—Leases” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information about our leases.
| Cash Flows |
As of December 31, 2025, we had $2.00 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, which is a decrease of $580.7 million compared to $2.58 billion as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities was primarily due to the repayment of our unsecured senior convertible notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, upon maturity in November 2025.
The following tables set forth a summary of our cash flows and the primary changes in cash flows for the periods shown. See the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for the complete consolidated statements of cash flows for these periods:

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, our investment policy allows us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including money market funds, U.S. Treasury debt and corporate debt securities. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that we have no material exposure to interest rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes or for activities other than risk management.
Market Price Sensitive Instruments
The 2028 Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 2028 Notes and/or offset any cash payments that we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2028 Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. See Note 4 “Debt” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A substantial portion of our operations are located in the United States, and the majority of our sales since inception have been made in U.S. dollars. Historically, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is more significant with respect to our revenue than our expenses, as a significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as cost of sales and operating expenses.
As we continue to expand our manufacturing sites in Ireland and Malaysia, we will be subject to additional foreign exchange currency risk. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies could adversely affect our financial results, including income and losses as well as assets and liabilities in addition to risks to our revenues, revenue growth rates, and gross profit margins.
We translate the financial statements of our international subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar into the U.S. dollar for consolidation using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. We record net gains or losses resulting from the translation of these financial statements and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany receivables and payables of a long-term nature as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These adjustments will affect net income only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying investment in international subsidiaries. We also record exchange rate fluctuations resulting from the translation of the short-term intercompany balances between domestic entities and our international subsidiaries as foreign currency transaction gains or losses and include them in other income, net in our consolidated statements of operations.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and generally mature in one to six months. The derivative gains and losses are included in other income, net in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 2 “Fair Value Measurements” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information.
Notional principal amounts provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of period end, but they do not represent the amount of our exposure to market loss. Estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using prevailing financial market information. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures, will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments. We monitor and manage our financial exposures due to exchange rate fluctuations as an integral part of our overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce potentially adverse effects on our financial results.

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Exchange Act require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and timely communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of such date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have been filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this report.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls
It should be noted that any system of controls, including ours, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. The design of any control system is based, in part, upon the benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, we cannot guarantee that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of DexCom, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of DexCom, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
