Insulet Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - August 08, 2012) - 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, 2012.

Second quarter 2012 revenue increased 58% to $51.0 million, compared to $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2012 revenue increased 7% over first quarter 2012 revenue of $47.8 million. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $22.3 million, compared to a gross profit of $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. The Company acquired Neighborhood Diabetes on June 1, 2011, and its financial position and results of operations have been included in the Company’s financial results since that date.

Operating loss in the second quarter of 2012 was $10.5 million, compared to operating loss of $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. Total operating expenses were $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $29.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily due to the incremental operating activities of Neighborhood Diabetes, including amortization on acquired intangibles, as well as development and commercial expenses related to the next generation OmniPod insulin pump.

“Insulet delivered a robust performance in the second quarter of 2012, with the Company’s strongest growth in referrals to the OmniPod in three years,” said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. “With sales climbing, gross profits increasing and completion of our infrastructure integration with Neighborhood Diabetes, we remain on track to be at or near operating cash flow break even by the end of this year. Further, we continue to make significant progress towards 510(k) clearance of the smaller, lighter next generation OmniPod. Our manufacturing capacity continues to increase and we expect to be poised for launch once clearance is obtained from the US Food and Drug Administration.”

Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $14.5 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million, or $0.42 per share, for the second quarter of 2011. Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 includes approximately $3.9 million of net interest expense, compared to $4.5 million of net interest expense in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease is mainly a result of the additional expense recorded upon the issuance of $143.8 million of 3.75% Convertible Notes in June 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue increased 63% to $98.8 million from $60.5 million for the first six months of 2011. Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 was $42.6 million, as compared to a gross profit of $28.1 million in the first six months of 2011. Operating loss for the first six months ended June 30, 2012 was $21.4 million as compared to an operating loss of $22.2 million in the first six months ended June 30, 2011. Net loss for the first six months of 2012 was $29.3 million, or $0.61 per share, compared to $29.3 million, or $0.64 per share, for the first six months of 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $70.1 million compared to $94.0 million as of December 31, 2011.

Recent Highlights

• In July, the Company received two final follow-up comments from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the 510(k) submission for the next generation OmniPod that the Agency believes need to be resolved before its review of the Company’s 510(k) submission can be successfully completed. The Company is currently working on its response to address both comments.
• Last month the Company announced the appointment of W. Mark Lortz to its board of directors. Mr. Lortz brings extensive expertise in the diabetes industry, having served as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of blood glucose monitoring manufacturer TheraSense, Inc. from 1997 to 2004, when it was acquired by Abbott Laboratories.
• Investments made to the commercial organization in the first half of 2012, including the addition of an inside sales capability and incremental field personnel, have begun to show a return, as new referrals increased over 20% year over year.

Guidance
The Company refined its estimate for full year 2012 revenue to be in the range of $210 to $220 million and its estimate for operating loss to be in the range of $32 to $38 million. For the third quarter of 2012, the Company is estimating revenue of $53 to $57 million.
