Inogen, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ingn#NASDAQ">INGN</a>) is well-poised for growth in the coming quarters, courtesy of high prospects in the portable oxygen concentrator (POC) space. The optimism, led by solid first-quarter 2024 performance and a strong product portfolio, seems justified. However, issues like stiff competition and forex volatility are major downsides.
The Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company&#39;s shares have risen 106.4% year to date compared with 9.2% growth of the&nbsp;industry. The S&amp;P 500 has increased 17.7% during the same time frame.
The renowned provider of POCs has a market capitalization of $268.7 million. The company projects 56.6% growth for 2024 and expects to witness continued improvements in its business. Inogen&#39;s P/S ratio of 0.8X makes its valuation attractive compared with the industry&#39;s 3.1X.

Let us delve deeper.
High Prospects in the POC Space:&nbsp;We are optimistic about the POCs&#39; superiority over conventional oxygen therapy (known as the delivery model). Inogen primarily develops, manufactures and markets innovative POCs to deliver supplemental long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) to patients suffering from chronic respiratory conditions.
INGN&#39;s proprietary Inogen One and Inogen Rove systems concentrate the air around the patient to offer a source of supplemental oxygen anytime, anywhere, with a battery that can be plugged into an outlet. Per a report by Data Bridge Market Research, the POCs market was valued at $1.58 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $3.03 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 8.5%.
Product Portfolio:&nbsp;We are optimistic about Inogen&#39;s expanding product portfolio. The company has received the FDA 510(k) clearance for the Inogen Rove 4, which is set to be launched soon. The Rove 4 will offer patients a new flow setting compared to the earlier versions, a service life of up to eight years and highest oxygen production. It is also the lightest POC in the market.
Inogen launched Rove 6 in the U.S. market in July 2023. The Inogen Rove 6 is the first POC with an expected service life of eight years.
Strong Q2 Results: Inogen&#39;s robust year-over-year uptick in domestic and international business-to-business sales buoys optimism. Solid year-over-year top and bottom-line performances were encouraging. Further, the expansion of the adjusted gross margin bodes well.
On the earnings call, management confirmed that targeting hospitals in addition to individual practitioners through its rental business gave earlier access to patients in their care pathway, increasing the duration over which INGN can receive payments. By expanding its scale, efficiency and throughput in the rental channel, Inogen expects to drive higher profitability over time.
The company is also seeing cost benefits in the form of lower sales and marketing expenses on the back of the recent exit of its third-party relationship in the rental channel. These factors raise optimism about the stock.
<h2>Risks</h2>
Stiff Competition:&nbsp;The LTOT market has intense industrial competition. Inogen faces competition from several POC producers and distributors as well as suppliers of other LTOT services, such as home delivery of oxygen cylinders or tanks. Given the relatively straightforward regulatory path in the oxygen therapy device manufacturing market, Inogen expects the industry to become increasingly competitive in the future.
Forex Volatility:&nbsp;The foreign market accounts for a sizeable amount of INGN&#39;s income. &nbsp;Management anticipates overseas revenues to continue to be erratic due to the distributor&#39;s size and timing. In the near future, INGN also expects unfavorable foreign exchange rates to hinder revenue growth since the U.S. dollar is increasing relative to the euro and other foreign currencies.
<h2>Estimate Trend</h2>
Inogen has been witnessing an improving estimate revision trend for 2024. In the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its loss per share has narrowed 11.4% to $1.95.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 revenues is pegged at $327 million, suggesting a 3.6% decline from the year-ago reported number.

Here's Why You Should Add Inogen Stock to Your Portfolio Now

Inogen, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ingn#NASDAQ">INGN</a>) incurred an adjusted loss per share of 7 cents for the second quarter of 2024, narrower than the adjusted loss per share of 25 cents in the year-ago period. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at a loss of 54 cents per share.
GAAP loss per share for the quarter was 24 cents, better than the year-earlier loss of 42 cents per share.
<h3>Revenues in Detail</h3>
Inogen registered revenues of $88.8 million for the second quarter, up 6.1% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.8%.
At constant exchange rate (CER), total revenues for the reported quarter increased 6.2%.
Per management, the year-over-year uptick in the top line was primarily driven by higher international and domestic business-to-business sales. However, this was partially offset by lower direct-to-consumer sales and rental revenues.
<h3>Segmental Details</h3>
Inogen derives revenues from two sources &mdash; rental and sales.
Rental revenues for the reported quarter grossed $14.3 million, down 6.5% from the year-ago period, both on a reported basis and at CER. Per management, the decrease resulted from a higher mix of lower private payer reimbursement rates and higher rental revenue adjustments.
Sales revenues were $74.4 million, up 8.9% from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>Revenues by Region &amp; Category</h3>
Domestic business-to-business sales for second-quarter 2024 amounted to $21.3 million, up 16.5% on a year-over-year basis.
International business-to-business sales for the reported quarter amounted to $30.5 million, up 31.1% year over year on a reported basis and up 31.4% at CER.
Domestic direct-to-consumer sales decreased 15.6% year over year to $22.6 million in the quarter. Domestic direct-to-consumer rentals decreased 6.5% year over year to $14.3 million in the quarter.
<h3>Margins</h3>
For the quarter under review, Inogen&#39;s gross profit rose 25.6% from the year-ago period to $42.7 million. The gross margin expanded 740 basis points to 48.1%.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 4.8% from the year-ago quarter to $25.6 million. Research and development expenses increased 30.2% year over year to $5.6 million. General and administrative expenses increased 27.4% to $18.6 million. Operating expenses of $49.8 million increased 8.7% year over year.
Operating loss totaled $7.1 million compared with the prior-year quarter&#39;s loss of $11.8 million.
<h3>Financial Position</h3>
Inogen exited the second quarter of 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $98 million compared with $121.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
The company ended the quarter with no debt on its balance sheet.
Net cash provided by operating activities at the end of the second quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million against net cash used in operating activities of $2.3 million a year ago.
<h3>Guidance</h3>
Inogen provided its revenue outlook for 2024.
The company expects the metric to be between $325 million and $330 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate currently stands at $322.3 million.
<h3>Our Take</h3>
Inogen exited the second quarter of 2024 with better-than-expected top and bottom-line numbers. The year-over-year improvement on both counts was encouraging. The robust year-over-year uptick in domestic and international business-to-business sales was impressive. The expansion of the gross margin also bodes well.
Inogen announced the launch of its latest Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) Rove 4 in the latter half of the year. Rove 4 introduces a fourth flow setting, offers up to eight years of service life and provides the highest oxygen production in the lightest POC on the market. These innovations align with its mission to enhance patient mobility and quality of life during oxygen therapy. With Rove 4, Inogen continues to lead the way in advanced, patient-focused oxygen therapy solutions.
However, the decline in domestic direct-to-consumer sales and rental revenues is concerning. Inogen continued to incur operating losses in the second quarter, which does not bode well.

The study sourced data from the French national healthcare system database, the Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS). With a sample size of over 244,000 adult long-term oxygen therapy patients from 2013-2020, it is likely the largest retrospective claims database assessment study of long-term oxygen therapy to date. The results showed that portable oxygen concentrator (POC) use, either alone or in combination with other oxygen modalities, was associated with improved survival and similar healthcare resource use, such as hospitalizations and specialist visits, compared to stationary concentrators, compressed tanks and liquid oxygen. Additionally, based on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), POCs were cost-effective compared to stationary concentrators, compressed tanks, and liquid oxygen.
