Insulet Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

Company Achieves Operating Profitability in Q4; U.S. Transition to New OmniPod Insulin Pump Complete


BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwired - Feb 27, 2014) - Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its OmniPod® Insulin Management System, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter 2013 revenue increased 19% to $68.5 million, compared to $57.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue is a result of continued strong patient adoption of the OmniPod insulin pump in the United States and international markets during the fourth quarter of 2013. This level of revenue growth was achieved despite a reduction in Neighborhood Diabetes revenue from the sale of testing supplies to Medicare patients due to CMS' competitive bidding program, which went into effect on July 1, 2013. Excluding the impact of the competitive bidding program, revenue increased by over 25% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 improved by 30% to $33.0 million, as compared to a gross profit of $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross profit improvements were largely a result of the completion of the transition of the U.S. customer base to the lower-cost new OmniPod, offset by certain costs associated with the transition.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The improvement in the operating loss was mainly driven by the increase in gross profit in the respective quarters. Operating expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 largely reflecting the overall growth in the customer base from the prior year.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $2.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.2 million, or $0.21 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012.

"2013 was one of the most exciting years in Insulet's history, and I am proud of all that our team accomplished," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "We launched the smaller, lighter OmniPod, transitioned all of our OmniPod customers to the new product in less than six months and established manufacturing operations capable of producing nearly one million pods per month. We are extremely pleased with achieving operating profitability in the fourth quarter and are poised for even greater success in 2014. Looking forward, we expect OmniPod revenue to grow 30% year over year and to achieve operating profitability for the full year."

Full Year Results

For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue increased 17% to $247.1 million from $211.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $112.4 million, an improvement of 22%, as compared to a gross profit of $92.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $29.1 million as compared to an operating loss of $36.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2012. Total operating expenses were $141.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $128.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase in operating expenses was primarily related to costs incurred as a result of the launch of the new OmniPod System as well as one-time legal fees and settlement costs incurred in connection with the Settlement and Cross-License Agreement entered into with Medtronic Minimed.

Net interest and other expense was $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, consistent with the year ended December 31, 2012. Net interest and other expense primarily relates to cash and non-cash interest expense on our 3.75% Convertible Notes due in June 2016.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $45.0 million, or $0.83 per share, compared to $51.9 million, or $1.08 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $149.7 million compared to $57.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2014, the Company estimates that revenue will be in the range of $295 to $315 million. For the first quarter ending March 31, 2014, the Company expects that revenue will be in the range of $67 to $71 million.
