Insulet Corporation Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - May 09, 2012) - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its OmniPod® Insulin Management System, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

First quarter 2012 revenue increased 69% to $47.8 million, compared to $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2012 was $20.3 million, compared to a gross profit of $13.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase in gross profit primarily relates to increased sales of the Company's OmniPod insulin pump to both new and existing customers in the U.S. and international markets, as well as revenue from its acquired Neighborhood Diabetes business. Neighborhood Diabetes was acquired on June 1, 2011, and its financial position and results of operations have been included in the Company's financial results since that date.

"Insulet is off to a strong start in 2012, with solid revenue growth, continued margin expansion and strategic execution across our business," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "We reached a significant milestone by sending our initial shipment of the next generation OmniPod to our international distribution partner, Ypsomed, during the first quarter. We are excited for customers to start using the new OmniPod in Europe and expect this launch will drive increased demand as customers experience the benefits of the smaller and lighter OmniPod firsthand. We are eager to introduce the new OmniPod in the U.S. as well and are working diligently with the US Food and Drug Administration to obtain 510(k) clearance in the coming months."

Operating loss in the first quarter of 2012 was $10.9 million, compared to operating loss of $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. Total operating expenses were $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $20.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily due to the operating activities of Neighborhood Diabetes, including amortization on acquired intangibles, as well as expenses related to the next generation OmniPod insulin pump.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $14.8 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.22 per share, for the first quarter of 2011. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 includes approximately $3.8 million of net interest expense, compared to $2.6 million of net interest expense in the first quarter of 2011. This increase is a result of increased cash and non-cash interest on the $143.8 million in principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Notes sold in June 2011, offset by $70 million in principal amount of 5.375% Convertible Notes repurchased at that time.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $83.0 million compared to $94.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

Recent Highlights

  • The Company has strengthened its commercial organization to support the US launch of the next generation OmniPod, adding an inside sales capability and incremental field personnel.

  • Insulet's manufacturing capabilities continue to demonstrate capacity and quality improvements. The Company produced a record 1.4 million pods in the first quarter. The first of the three next generation OmniPod manufacturing lines is operational.

  • The Company announced a worldwide agreement with LifeScan to integrate LifeScan's OneTouch® blood glucose monitoring technology into the OmniPod Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) starting in 2013.

  • Insulet announced an expansion of its international distribution agreement with Ypsomed. The amendment increases the number of countries covered by the partnership to 22, including several additional countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and extends the agreement at least through June 2016.

Guidance
The Company reiterates its estimate for full year 2012 revenue to be in the range of $210 to $225 million and its estimate of operating loss to be in the range of $25 to $35 million. For the second quarter of 2012, the Company is estimating revenue of $50 to $53 million.
