Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Net sales increased 38% quarter-over-quarter (Q2 2026 vs. Q2 2025) and 46% year-to-date. Growth was driven by an expanding installed base and increased sales of single-use products (cartridges and infusion sets), which now account for approximately 60% of net sales.
• Channel Mix Shift: There is a strategic shift toward the Pharmacy Benefit Plan (PBP) channel. PBP sales represented 36% of net sales in Q2 2026, up from 20% in Q2 2025. While PBP sales initially generate negative gross margins, they are expected to yield higher lifetime value.
• Expense Increases: Operating expenses rose significantly due to commercial scaling. Sales and marketing expenses increased 58% quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to headcount expansion. Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 15% quarter-over-quarter, driven by payroll and stock-based compensation.
• Net Loss Stabilization: While the quarterly net loss widened to $23.4 million from $16.9 million, the year-to-date net loss remained relatively flat compared to the prior year ($45.3 million vs. $45.5 million), aided by the absence of a $12.5 million non-cash loss from warrant liabilities in the prior year.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Product Pipeline: The company is advancing Mint, a tubeless patch pump, with expected commercialization by Q2 2027. Development of a bihormonal system (insulin and glucagon) is ongoing, with Phase 2a feasibility trials completed and a pivotal trial for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) enrollment beginning in July 2026.
• Regulatory Risks: In January 2026, the FDA issued a Warning Letter following an inspection of the Irvine facility, citing deficiencies in the Quality Management System, Medical Device Reporting, and Correction and Removals. Management is actively remediating these issues. The company also faces risks related to the new FDA Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) effective February 2026.
• Liquidity: Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments ($225.2 million) are sufficient to fund operations through the first half of 2028.
• Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains standard disclaimers regarding risks such as reimbursement changes, supply chain disruptions, and the ability to obtain regulatory clearances for new products.

Investor Verification Checklist

• FDA Warning Letter Status: Verify the current status of remediation efforts regarding the January 2026 FDA Warning Letter and any potential impact on manufacturing or new product clearances.
• PBP Channel Economics: Monitor the timeline for PBP channel sales to achieve cumulative positive gross margins, as this impacts long-term profitability projections.
• Single-Use Product Adoption: Confirm the correlation between new patient starts and the recurring revenue from single-use products, which now drive the majority of sales.
• Regulatory Milestones: Track progress on the Mint patch pump 510(k) clearance and the T2D pivotal trial enrollment.
• Supplier Concentration: Review reliance on single-source suppliers for critical components (infusion sets, cartridge connectors, pump motors) and potential supply chain risks.
