BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwired - November 07, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter Results

Third quarter 2013 revenue increased 12% to $61.1 million, compared to $54.8 million in the third quarter of 2012. Gross profit improved by 12% to $27.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, as compared to a gross profit of $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. Third quarter 2013 revenue was achieved despite a reduction in Neighborhood Diabetes revenues from the sale of testing supplies to Medicare patients as the CMS competitive bidding program went into effect on July 1, 2013.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $17.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Operating expenses were $44.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $32.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to approximately $10 million in one-time charges related to the Company's settlement of the Medtronic patent infringement lawsuit as well as costs incurred related to the launch of the new OmniPod.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $21.3 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to a net loss of $12.4 million, or $0.26 per share, for the third quarter of 2012.

"Enthusiasm for the new OmniPod remains high and continues to exceed our expectations, with growing numbers of health care professionals recommending and people with diabetes choosing our easy to use, tubeless insulin pump," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "We increased manufacturing capacity to nearly one million OmniPods per month in September and have successfully transitioned over 90% of the direct customer base to the new OmniPod. With initial shipments growing at a rate of more than 40% year over year, we expect the momentum generated by the launch of the new OmniPod to continue in Q4 and into 2014."

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue increased 16% to $178.6 million from $153.5 million for the first nine months of 2012. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2013 was $79.4 million, as compared to a gross profit of $67.0 million in the first nine months of 2012. Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $29.3 million, as compared to an operating loss of $29.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net loss for the first nine months of 2013 was $42.5 million, or $0.79 per share, compared to $41.7 million, or $0.87 per share, for the first nine months of 2012.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $153.9 million, an increase of approximately $3 million from June 30, 2013. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $57.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2013, the Company updated its estimate of revenue to be in the range of $244 to $250 million. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company expects that revenue will be approximately in the range of $65 to $71 million.
