BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwired - Aug 7, 2014) -  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, 2014. 

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter 2014 revenue increased 20% to $72.0 million, compared to $60.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2014 rose 33% to $35.8 million from $26.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. The Company reached 50% gross margin for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 45% for the second quarter of 2013.

"We made significant progress across all aspects of the business in the second quarter. Revenue increased by 35% within the OmniPod business and 20% overall," said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. "We achieved a 50% gross margin for the first time and excluding the impact of the patent settlement, we generated nearly $2 million of operating profit. I remain confident and excited about a strong second half of the year as we begin to see the return of investment in our new commercial team members, continue to see additional gross margin expansion and remain operating profitable."

Operating expenses were $41.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $32.7 million in the second quarter of 2013. During the second quarter, the Company settled patent infringement litigation with Becton, Dickinson and Company resulting in one-time settlement and legal costs totaling approximately $7 million. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of 9%. Excluding the impact of the settlement and legal costs, the Company would have reported an operating profit of $1.7 million in the quarter. 

Interest and other expense was $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in interest and other expense is due to the loss from the extinguishment of debt recorded in June 2014. The Company sold approximately $201.3 million in principal amount of 2% Senior Convertible Notes due June 2019 and concurrently repurchased $114.9 million in principal amount of 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due June 2016 for a cash payment of approximately $160.7 million. The Company recorded an $18.9 million loss from the extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2014 in connection with the repurchase of its 3.75% Notes. The remaining $28.8 million of 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes were subsequently called on June 17, 2014 and retired on July 28, 2014 for $28.8 million in cash and approximately 348,000 shares of common stock. 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2014 was $29.1 million, or $0.53 per share, compared to a net loss of $10.5 million, or $0.20 per share, for the second quarter of 2013. Excluding the impact of the extinguishment of debt and the settlement and legal costs, the Company's net loss was $3.2 million or approximately $0.06 per share. 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue increased 20% to $141.2 million from $117.4 million for the first six months of 2013. Gross profit for the first six months of 2014 was $68.6 million, as compared to a gross profit of $52.0 million in the first six months of 2013. Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $7.2 million, as compared to an operating loss of $12.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net loss for the first six months of 2014 was $35.3 million, or $0.64 per share, compared to $21.2 million, or $0.40 per share, for the first six months of 2013. 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $175.5 million compared to $149.7 million at December 31, 2013.

Guidance
For the year ending December 31, 2014, the Company updated its estimate of revenue to be in the range of $290 to $300 million. The Company adjusted the midpoint of 2014 guidance down approximately 3%, reflecting a payor issue that is delaying new patient starts due to changes in the payor's general pump reimbursement policies. For the third quarter of 2014, the Company expects that revenue will be in the range of $73 to $77 million.
