Current filing’s statement
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report, as updated by the risk factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 (Q1 2025 Quarterly Report), which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report, as updated by our Q1 2025 Quarterly Report, except as set forth below. The risks described in our 2024 Annual Report and Q1 2025 Quarterly Report, as updated below, are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also arise and materially impact our business. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Added paragraphs (1)
Current report
We also believe that there will continue to be proposals and other actions by legislators and other policymakers at both the federal and state levels, and by regulators and third-party payors to reduce costs. For example, the recently-enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act aims to reform Medicaid by eliminating certain financial incentives, imposing work requirements on certain adult beneficiaries, and requiring states to increase patient cost-sharing amounts for certain services. We cannot predict with any assurance the ultimate effect of these reforms on our business.
Removed paragraphs (3)
Previous report
The medical device industry is subject to extensive regulatory obligations and policies that are subject to change, including due to judicial challenges, election cycles, and resulting regulatory updates and changes in policy priorities.
Previous report
Federal agency priorities, leadership, policies, rulemaking, communications, spending, and staffing may be significantly impacted by election cycles, including, for example, the current administration’s commitment to significantly reduce government spending through cuts to federal healthcare programs and reductions in the workforces of key government agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the FDA, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Efforts by the current administration to limit federal agency budgets or personnel may result in reductions to agency budgets, employees and operations, which may lead to slower response times, less guidance from the agency, and longer review periods, potentially affecting our ability to progress development of, or obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, any future product modifications or new products. Any resulting changes in regulation may result in unexpected delays, increased costs, or other negative impacts on both our business and that of our customers that are difficult to predict.
Previous report
Additionally, on June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion holding that courts reviewing agency action pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) “must exercise their independent judgment” and “may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous.” The decision will have a significant impact on how lower courts evaluate challenges to agency interpretations of law, including those by HHS, FDA, CMS and other agencies with significant oversight of the medical device industry. The new framework is likely to increase both the frequency of such challenges and their odds of success by eliminating one way in which the government previously prevailed in such cases. As a result, significant regulatory policies will be subject to increased litigation and judicial scrutiny. Any resulting changes in regulation may result in unexpected delays, increased costs, or other negative impacts on our business that are difficult to predict.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report, except as set forth below. The risks described in our 2024 Annual Report as updated below are not the only risks that we face.

Previous wording
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property matters, product liability claims, employee claims, tort or contract claims, federal regulatory investigations, securities class action and other legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business. For example, on August 29, 2024 and October 18, 2024, two purported stockholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements about our business, operations and prospects related to the sale and marketing of the Tablo Hemodialysis System and TabloCart with Prefiltration, including concerning the impact of certain FDA processes for these products on our revenue growth. Further, on November 29, 2024 and April 28, 2025 Outset stockholders purporting to act on behalf of the Company filed lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain of our officers, alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the same alleged events and alleged materially false and misleading statements asserted in the stockholder class action lawsuits. For more information, see the section entitled “Litigation” in Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and can result in excessive or unanticipated verdicts and/or injunctive relief that affect how we operate our business. We could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages or for agreements to change the way we operate our business, or both. There may be an increase in the scope of these matters or there may be additional lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse publicity about regulatory or legal action against us could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine our customers’ confidence and reduce long-term demand for Tablo, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.

For example, on August 29, 2024 and October 18, 2024, two purported stockholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, our Chief Executive Officer, then-Chief Financial Officer and prior Chief Financial Officer, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements about our business, operations and prospects related to the sale and marketing of the Tablo Hemodialysis System and TabloCart with Prefiltration, including concerning the impact of certain FDA processes for these products on our revenue growth. Further, on November 29, 2024, April 28, 2025, May 8, 2025 and June 16, 2025 Outset stockholders purporting to act on behalf of the Company filed lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain of our officers, alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the same alleged events and alleged materially false and misleading statements asserted in the stockholder class action lawsuits.
