Insulet Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results

Company Generates Its First Positive Quarterly Cash Flow; Record Setting Level of Initial OmniPod Shipments in the Second Quarter


BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwired - Aug 7, 2013) - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its OmniPod® Insulin Management System, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. 

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2013 revenue increased 18% to $60.1 million, compared to $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2012. Sequentially, revenue increased approximately 5% from $57.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. Gross profit improved by 20% to $26.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, as compared to a gross profit of $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The Company launched the new, smaller OmniPod in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2013 and began to transition its existing customer base in the second quarter of 2013.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $5.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2012, an improvement of 45%. Operating expenses remained relatively unchanged at $32.7 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company retired $15 million in principal amount of 5.375% Convertible Notes which became due in June. The Company paid the holders $2.3 million in cash and issued 0.6 million shares of common stock in exchange for the termination of the notes. The Company recorded an additional $0.3 million of other expense related to the extinguishment of the notes.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $10.5 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.30 per share, for the second quarter of 2012. 

"This was an outstanding quarter for Insulet, with demand for the new OmniPod exceeding our expectations," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "With a greater than 50% year over year increase, we shipped a record setting level of initial orders of the OmniPod in the second quarter. This robust demand drove strong financial results, and we generated positive quarterly cash flow for the first time in Insulet's history. Enthusiasm for the new OmniPod has been strong as the simplicity of the OmniPod's smaller design, coupled with the updated insulin-on board methodology is appealing to both customers and healthcare professionals. We commenced the transition of our existing customer base to the new OmniPod in June and expect the vast majority of customers to be transitioned by the end of the third quarter."   

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue increased 19% to $117.4 million from $98.8 million for the first six months of 2012. Gross profit for the first six months of 2013 was $52.0 million, as compared to a gross profit of $42.6 million in the first six months of 2012. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $12.0 million, as compared to an operating loss of $21.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net loss for the first six months of 2013 was $21.2 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $29.3 million, or $0.61 per share, for the first six months of 2012. 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $150.9 million compared to $57.3 million at December 31, 2012. In January 2013, the Company sold approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock at $20.75 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $92.8 million. 

Guidance

For the year ending December 31, 2013, the Company updated its estimate of revenue to be in the range of $242 to $252 million. For the third quarter of 2013, the Company expects that revenue will be in the range of $60 to $64 million. 

As a reminder, effective July 1, 2013, the Company is no longer selling certain diabetes testing supplies to Medicare patients as a result of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Round 2 Competitive Bidding Program. The Company expects this to result in a loss of approximately $5 million in revenue per quarter for the third and fourth quarters of 2013.
