Insulet Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

Revenue Increases 40% Year Over Year; CE Mark Approval Received on Next Generation OmniPod Insulin Pump


BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2011) - 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, 2011.

Second quarter 2011 revenue increased 40% to $32.2 million, compared to $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 improved by 47% to $14.5 million, or a 45% gross margin, as compared to a gross profit of $9.9 million, or a 43% gross margin, for the second quarter of 2010.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $14.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. The $5 million increase in operating loss was primarily due to one-time transaction expenses related to the acquisition of Neighborhood Diabetes, non-recurring expenses related to the Company's next generation OmniPod which is currently pending FDA approval and amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired. The financial position and results of operations of Neighborhood Diabetes, which the Company acquired on June 1, 2011, have been included in the Company's results since the acquisition date.

"We have made significant advances in our business in the last few months," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "In May, we submitted our next generation OmniPod System for 510(k) clearance by the FDA. In June, we acquired Neighborhood Diabetes, a business which complements our sales of the OmniPod insulin pump with an expanded product offering and a higher level of customer service to our nearly 90,000 combined customers. Late last month, we received CE Mark approval on our next generation OmniPod. Following these achievements, we are now focused on integrating our acquired infrastructure to help drive the launch of the next generation OmniPod."

Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $19.4 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.7 million, or $0.36 per share, for the second quarter of 2010.

Mr. DeSisto continued, "In June we restructured our balance sheet by issuing new convertible debt with a reduced interest rate, higher convertible strike price and an extended maturity. We used the majority of the proceeds to repurchase a portion of our convertible debt maturing in 2013. With this restructuring complete, we believe we have sufficient cash to reach profitability."

On June 29, the Company issued $143.75 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes due in June 2016 and used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase $70 million of the Company's 5.375% Convertible Notes due in June 2013 for approximately $85 million. The transaction resulted in debt modification accounting on this portion of the existing notes. In total, the Company recorded additional debt discount of approximately $41.9 million related to the issuance which will be amortized as non-cash interest expense over the 5 year term of the 3.75% Notes. The Company expects to record cash interest expense of $1.6 million and non-cash interest expense of $2.2 million related to the debt in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue increased 38% to $60.5 million from $43.7 million for the first six months of 2010. Gross profit for the first six months of 2011 was $28.1 million, or a 46% gross margin, as compared to a gross profit of $18.3 million, or a 42% gross margin, in the first six months of 2010. Operating loss for the first six months ended June 30, 2011 was $22.2 million as compared to an operating loss of $20.6 million in the first six months ended June 30, 2010. Net loss for the first six months of 2011 was $29.3 million, or $0.64 per share, compared to $28.2 million, or $0.74 per share, for the first six months of 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $106.7 million compared to $113.3 million at December 31, 2010. The cash balance at June 30, 2011, reflects the payment of approximately $38 million as the cash consideration for the acquisition of Neighborhood Diabetes and includes the net proceeds from the sale of approximately $144 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes due June 2016 and the subsequent repurchase of $70 million of 5.375% Convertible Notes due June 2013 for $85 million.

Guidance
The Company updated its estimate for full year 2011 revenues to be in the range of $152 to $158 million. For the final six months of 2011, the Company estimates an operating loss in the range of $13 to $18 million. For the third quarter of 2011, the Company estimates revenue of $44 to $46 million.
