📢 Earnings Summary — PODD

Insulet delivered a strong Q3 with record revenue, broad-based demand, and expanding margins, driven by Omnipod 5 adoption across both Type 1 and accelerating Type 2 populations. International growth was particularly robust, aided by sensor integrations and favorable price/mix, while U.S. demand benefited from DTC investments and a growing prescriber base. Profitability improved with higher gross margin and operating leverage, even as the company stepped up R&D and commercial spend. Liquidity remains strong, with all convertibles retired and an undrawn revolver, positioning Insulet to invest in capacity and innovation. Guidance was raised across the board for 2025, and near-term Q4 outlook calls for continued strong growth. Overall tone was confident, underpinned by durable recurring revenue, pipeline progress, and expanding global access.
