First Quarter 2016 Financial Results:

First quarter 2016 revenue increased 69% to $81.2 million compared to $48.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $7.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $10.7 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $10.4 million, or $0.18 per share, in the first quarter of 2015.

Guidance:

  • For the year ending December 31, 2016, the Company is reaffirming its revenue guidance of $330 to $350 million compared to 2015 revenue from continuing operations of $263.9 million1. This represents year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 30% at the mid-point of the range.
  • For the quarter ending June 30, 2016, the Company is introducing revenue guidance in the range of $81 to $84 million compared to second quarter 2015 revenue from continuing operations of $60.6 million1. This represents year-over-year revenue growth of over 35% at the mid-point of the range.

Future results may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, and may also be affected by non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, associated with the Neighborhood Diabetes business and the Company's continuing operations.

Divestiture of Neighborhood Diabetes:

On February 12, 2016, Insulet sold its wholly-owned Neighborhood Diabetes supplies business to Liberty Medical, LLC for approximately $5 million in cash, subject to certain customer closing adjustments. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the results of operations, assets, and liabilities of Neighborhood Diabetes are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

1 The Company's guidance discussion above compares 2016 expected revenue to the unaudited 2015 revenue from continuing operations which excludes Neighborhood Diabetes as if the divestiture occurred on January 1, 2015. The revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 2015 and the second quarter of 2015 are included as an appendix to this press release.
