Back to the Market Exclusive press release:
On February 20, 2019, DexCom’s Board of Directors committed DexCom to a restructuring plan that will result in the transition of certain of DexCom’s operations to the Philippines (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring is designed to reduce operating expenses to improve cost competitiveness, enable strategic flexibility and increase the scalability of certain business functions.
DexCom expects the Restructuring to impact approximately 350 full time employees, or approximately 13% of DexCom’s total full time workforce as of December 31, 2018. The Restructuring also will impact DexCom’s employment or hiring of full-time temporary employees. Most of the affected employees currently work in DexCom’s facilities in San Diego, California and Mesa, Arizona.
DexCom currently estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges and costs of approximately $25 million, primarily related to severance, other one-time termination benefits, and related restructuring facilitation costs. Of these charges, DexCom expects a majority to be cash-based primarily related to severance and termination related benefits. These costs are primarily expected to be incurred throughout 2019 and DexCom expects to record the majority of the charges in the first half of 2019. DexCom expects the majority of the Restructuring activities to be completed by the end of 2019.
