Second Quarter Financial Highlights:

Second quarter 2024 revenue of $488.5 million, up 23.2%, or 23.4% in constant currency1, compared to $396.5 million in the prior year, exceeds the high end of the Company's guidance range of 18% in constant currency due to revenue outperformance for all product lines
Total Omnipod revenue of $480.4 million, an increase of 26.3%, or 26.5% in constant currency
U.S. Omnipod revenue of $352.3 million, an increase of 27.3%
International Omnipod revenue of $128.1 million, an increase of 23.5%, or 24.4% in constant currency
Drug Delivery revenue of $8.1 million, a decrease of $7.9 million.
Gross margin of 67.7%, up 90 basis points, compared to gross margin of 66.8% in the prior year. Gross margin for the current period includes a charge of $13.5 million relating to certain inventory components which the Company expects will not be utilized. This charge negatively impacted gross margin by 280 basis points
Operating income of $54.6 million, or 11.2% of revenue, up 340 basis points, compared to operating income of $31.1 million, or 7.8% of revenue, in the prior year.

Net income of $188.6 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $27.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted net income1 of $38.3 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, excludes $151.7 million of income resulting from the release of the majority of the Company’s valuation allowance and a $1.4 million loss associated with an investment

Non-GAAP Measures:

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

Constant currency revenue growth, which represents the change in revenue between current and prior year periods using the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior year period. Insulet presents constant currency revenue growth because management believes it provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s results on a consistent and comparable basis. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), to evaluate the Company’s operating results. It is also one of the performance metrics that determines management incentive compensation.

Adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of certain significant transactions or events, such as legal settlements, medical device corrections, gains (losses) on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt, that affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s performance, as applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income plus net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other significant transactions or events, such as legal settlements, medical device corrections, gains (losses) on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt, that affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s performance, as applicable, and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Insulet presents the above non-GAAP financial measures because management uses them as supplemental measures in assessing the Company’s performance, and the Company believes they are helpful to investors and other interested parties as measures of comparative performance from period to period. They also are commonly used measures in determining business value, and the Company uses them internally to report results.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because
3



non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, Insulet strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.
