About the Lawsuit

The Complaint alleges that Outset is a medical technology company focused on kidney dialysis, the primary treatment for acute and chronic kidney failure. The Company’s flagship product is the Tablo Hemodialysis System (“Tablo”). In October 2022, Outset introduced the TabloCart with Prefiltration (“TabloCart”) as an accessory for the Tablo, intended to provide additional maneuverability and pre-filtration capabilities for poor water qualities.

On July 7, 2023, after market hours, Outset disclosed that it had received a Warning Letter from the FDA which “assert[ed] that certain materials … on the Company’s website promote continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a modality outside of the current indications for the Tablo Hemodialysis System” and asserted that TabloCart “requires prior 510(k) clearance for marketing authorization.” On this news, Outset’s stock price fell $1.20, or 5.9%, to close at $19.26 per share on July 10, 2023.

On August 2, 2023, after market hours, Outset announced that it had paused the shipment of TabloCart pending the FDA’s 510(k) clearance. On this news, Outset’s stock price fell $1.97, or 10.2%, to close at $17.39 per share on August 3, 2023.

On October 12, 2023, after market hours, the Company revealed that revenue growth had been significantly impacted by the FDA’s warning letter. Specifically, the Company issued a press release announcing preliminary third quarter 2023 financial results, as well as updated financial guidance for 2023 revenue, which reflected that “[g]rowth in the quarter was dampened by a larger-than-expected impact in the field from the recent FDA warning letter.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell $3.38, or 49.9%, to close at $3.39 per share on October 13, 2023.

On August 7, 2024, after market hours, Outset released its second quarter 2024 financial results, significantly missing consensus estimates and lowering its full year 2024 revenue guidance by $39 million at the midpoint. The Company disclosed it would be forced to take “clear steps to improve our execution” including “sales team and process restructuring.” As a result, the Company revealed it would be unable to deliver on a post-approval sales ramp of TabloCart previously forecast. On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.33, or 68.5%, to close at $1.07 per share on August 8, 2024.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the TabloCart would require prior 510(k) clearance from the FDA for marketing authorization; (2) the Company had not obtained the required FDA clearance to market and sell the TabloCart; (3) as such, Outset would be forced to halt shipment of the TabloCart; (4) Outset had promoted continuous renal replacement therapy (or CRRT) as a modality within the FDA-approved indications for the Tablo, which was not the case; (5) Outset lacked the sales team and process to execute on the ramp of Tablo sales; (6) the Company’s internal controls were inadequate and resulted in the improper marketing of Tablo and TabloCart and that the Company’s SOX certifications were false and misleading when made; (7) the Company’s reports and financial statements did not fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, including the reliance on improper marketing, that the revenue and growth reported therein was the result of undisclosed, illicit and unsustainable improper marketing; and (8) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
